Colourpop Fall Edit Swatches

By M.C. -
I'm a Colourpop believer, through and through. Colourpop produces great products at very reasonable prices. Today, I have some swatches of lip shades from Colourpop's Fall Edit (well, two are from the Fall edit; two are just fall shades (well, I consider them to be Fall shades)).

First of all, I want to reiterate how much I love Colourpop's formulas for their Ultra Satin Lip line and their Ultra Matte Lip line. They're both long lasting, comfortable, and very pigmented.  Plus, all of Colourpop's products are super affordable; so, they're a really good value for the money.

The first shade I picked up from the Fall Edit was Barracuda. Barracuda is an Ultra Satin Lip, and it's a deep, brownish red. I absolutely love this shade; it's so flattering and it's so autumnal. To me, Fall is the perfect time for dramatic lip colors. I love red, dusty rose, and brown lip products in the Fall, and Barracuda is just perfect for me.

The second color I picked up from the Fall Edit was Viper. Viper is an Ultra Matte Lip, and it's a dark, dusty rose shade. Dusty rose is one of my favorite lip shades in general. I wear it all year round. This particular shade really reminds me of another Colourpop shade, Dopey.

I also picked up two of Colourpop's Ultra Metallic Lip shades, Man Eater and Zebra. Man Eater is a bronzy brown shade with a hint of gold. Zebra is a metallic reddish brown shade. They're both very pretty, although I'm not as impressed with the formula of these lip products as I am with the Ultra Satin and Ultra Matte Lip lines. The Ultra Metallic Lip shades aren't as long lasting, and they aren't as pigmented. The metallic shades just don't seem to cover as well and don't seem to be as opaque. For the price ($6), they're a great value. However, you have to be willing to work with the formula a bit.

Anyway, those were the Colourpop shades I picked up for Fall. If you don't have any Colourpop lip products, I highly recommend picking some up. They have wonderful formulas for wonderful prices. Plus, they have gorgeous shades for Fall (and every other season too).

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S

Review: Tarte 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe

By M.C. -

I usually do my best to resist buying holiday makeup releases. Often, holiday products have a different formula and aren't as good as other products carried by the brand. However, sometimes holiday releases are just too good to miss. I recently grabbed one of Tarte's holiday releases, the 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe. As the name suggests, this is basically a face collection with nine shades of blush, highlight, and bronzer. I was primarily interested in it because 1) I like Tarte blushes and 2) the packaging was SO CUTE .  The shades come in three stacks that slide open and fold up as needed. Recently, I've been obsessed with things that come in this fun, folding packaging, so I'm really glad that Tarte released this product. I just think that this is such a good idea for travel and all that jazz. And, obviously, these little folding compacts are very easy to store, which is a positive change for Tarte considering their holiday releases are usually super
