October Favorites: Recommendations

By M.C. -
For some reason, October was a month of pink-toned makeup for me. This month I was super into pink toned eyes, pink toned blushes, and bright pink lips. This is extraordinary for me because I'm not usually big on pink. First time for everything, right?

Anyway, these are my favorites for the month of October:

 Solstice Highlighting Palette by Sleek - If you want to glow like the sun, you need this palette. I've used this palette almost everyday since I got it (roughly seven weeks ago). I've written a complete review of it, but, long story short, it's just an amazing (and very affordable) highlighting palette. All of the highlights are so beautiful and so brilliant on the skin. Plus, they have just the right amount of pigment for highlights, and the shades are simply beautiful.


Shape Tape Concealer by Tarte - I wrote an entire blog post about this concealer a few weeks ago. Honestly, I don't even know how I ever used other concealers because this concealer is perfection. I will repurchase this concealer without a second thought. It has insane coverage. It blends beautifully, and it's one of the few concealers that's actually light enough for my skin. I foresee myself using this concealer everyday for the foreseeable future.


 Kobai Azalea by H&M - I have been all about hot pink eyeshadow this month, and this has been go to shade. As you it's a matte, hot pink shadow; it's super pigmented and it applies very evenly (although, there is some fall out). I know that it seems super bold and unwearable, but it's super pretty mixed with the shade Fireball by Urban Decay. For some reason, I'm just loving pink for autumn. I know, I know, it's more of a Spring shade, but I play by my own rules.


 As You Want Victoria by Rimmel London - This is one of Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipsticks. It has a nice formula and it applies really smoothly. However, that's not why I'm including it in my favorites. I picked this lipstick up at Wal-Mart; I bought it without expecting to like it because I don't usually think of myself as someone who can wear fuchsia or hot pink lipstick. This lipstick is very very fuchsia, and it looks good on me.  This lipstick is a favorite because it proved to me that I can wear hot pink lipstick. Apparently, this is just a hot pink month for me. Watch out world, I have fuchsia lipstick and you can't stop me!


Anyway, I hope you had a good October. Happy Halloween!

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

By M.C. -

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...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

By M.C. -

A few months ago, I started a series called New to My Collection, in which I talk about products that I've recently added to my makeup collection and what I think about them. I didn't get a ton of new things in November, so some of these things are from October. However, I want to talk about them anyway and give you my thoughts. So, without further ado, here are some products that were new to my collection in November: Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender by L'Oreal - You can stick a fancy name on a makeup sponge, but it's still just a makeup sponge and that's what this is. Personally, I think this sponge is just okay. However, I should say that I prefer sponges with a flat edge. I think this sponge is a good size, has good density, and is very good about not soaking up all your makeup. It gives nice coverage and all of that jazz; I just wish it had a flat side. That being said, I think it's a great value for the money ($8) and I would recommend picking...
