Limited Edition Makeup I'm Glad I Bought

By M.C. -
I recently looked through my makeup collection, and I noticed that I had several limited edition makeup products that I never managed to review. As you can't get these products anymore, I didn't think it made sense to write full reviews of these products. However, I did want to chat about them, so I decided to put together a list of limited edition makeup that I'm glad I bought:

 Shine Bright Cheek Palette by Lorac - This palette came out for the 2018 holiday season. I really love Lorac products, so I was immediately drawn to this palette. I was a little hesitant to buy it because I'm kind of on a low buy/no buy for blushes. However, I am glad that I ended up picking up this palette because it really is very lovely. A few of the shades are too dark for my skin, but the formulas are spot on. The blushes are very pigmented and the highlights give a really beautiful glow to the skin. I find myself dipping into this palette a lot, and I'm glad I bought it.





Snow Angels Palette by Dose of Colors - This palette also came out for the 2018 holiday season. A lot of people mentioned it in their anti-haul videos at the time, but I was immediately drawn to it. Even though I don't wear bright pinks or blues very often, I thought this was such a beautiful and unique palette, and I just had to have it. Plus, I knew at the time that Dose of Colors have a great eyeshadow formula. However, the reason that I'm mentioning this palette here is one shade: Cashmere. Cashmere is a beautiful transition shade. It's a lovely mauve greige, and I use it all the time in both purple and pink looks. The other shades are pretty too, but, for the shade Cashmere alone, I'm glad I bought this palette.





My Little Pony Palette by ColourPop - This is a totally beautiful palette. I really wish it was permanent because I feel like so many people would enjoy it. I hesitated before buying it, but I'm really glad I picked it up. In fact, this is probably my favorite colorful palette in my collection right now. The formula is fantastic (duh, it's ColourPop), and the shade selection is on point. I feel like you can get so many interesting looks out of this palette. True, you might need to combine this palette with another palette to get a full look, but, overall, I think this is a great palette.




Let me know which limited edition palettes you love in the comments!

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...
