Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Blush

Hello day six! Just like the Christmas Beauty Brawl this one is going by really fast. Today is blush day and I chose Makeup Revolutions blush in the shade Beloved.

Product  85
Packaging  75
Price  100


The packaging is just like the eye palette but I like it more for the blush. 

The blush is pretty nice. It feels very smooth and has very nice pigmentation. I decided to go with this color because it was perfect for summer. It's a very bright coral so for me a little bit goes a long way. 

This matte blush cost $5 and its a decent size. I want to try the other colors and the baked blush. It took me a little while to get used to the color but I really it.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Eye Palette

Welcome to day five of the Beauty Brawl! I can't believe we are halfway through the brawl already. Today is my favourite day because I love eyeshadow palettes. I Chose the Iconic 3 palette from Makeup Revolution. I was so excited when my Ulta started carrying Makeup Revolution so I knew I had to try it for the brawl.

The packaging is very cheap I could see the lid breaking off easily. Of course that's what keeps the product so cheap. This 12 shadow palette only cost me $7 so I don't hate the packaging. I bought this palette because I heard it was a good dupe for the Naked 3 palette so I had to try it because $7 is WAY better than $54.

I can't say if it's an exact dupe but the pigmentation in this palette is impressive. I swatched the shadows as soon as I got home and I was happy I bought it. The dark pink and rose gold are GORGEOUS! The swatches down below don't even do it justice. 

I can't wait to play around with it some more. So far I have gotten pretty daytime looks for work but I definitely want to do a night time look. I also want to try more of their palettes.

Today was my sister's last day of third grade so we are going to enjoy some chocolate mug cakes while watching Zootopia. Have a good night ladies!

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Bronzer

Welcome to day four of the Beauty Brawl! We are reviewing bronzers today. I've never been crazy about bronzer because I've always been pale so nothing I tried looked right on me. So let's see how this bronzer works for me!

Product  90
Packaging  80
Price  90

I got this sample in my March ipsy bag. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first. It can be used in the TEMPTU airbrush system, with fingertips, or a brush. The packaging is simple but I like it. The first time I tried it I used my Real Techniques expert face brush and I think it looked pretty good. Today I used my fingers to blend it and I really like the way it looks. 

I started tanning a couple of weeks ago so right now I think the color is just right for me. Just add a little bit of product and blend it out. If you need more you can layer it. I applied some to my hand and I can't stop looking at it and loving how natural it looks. 

The sample I got was .25 fl. oz. the full size is 1 fl. oz. A little bit goes a long way so I will probably have this sample for a while. The full size costs $29.50 and I think that is a reasonable price. I would like to try their blush it looked like they had some really beautiful colors. You can purchase the bronzer here.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Primer

Hello everyone! Who is ready for day 3 of the Beauty Brawl? Today we are reviewing primers! I chose Baby Skin from Maybelline. I've been wanting to try it since it came out so let's get started!

I'm still not having any luck with the app so here is my score
Product  85
Packaging  90
Price  100


First of all the packaging is really fun! I can easily find it in my makeup bag. I think it's a decent size for the price. I got it from Walmart for $5.35. It feels very nice and smooth going on the skin. Is it an instant pore eraser? No, but my pores are huge. I do think it helps though. I work at a tanning salon so it can get pretty toasty and whenever I checked my makeup it still looked pretty good. 

I definitely like it a lot more than the NYX primer. I prefer the Benefit Porefessional Primer but at $31 I can't afford it everytime so I will keep buying Baby Skin. 

I hope you enjoyed day 3! Check out Mikayla's blog to see what product she chose. 

Let me know what primers you are loving right now or if you want me to try one.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Brow Product

Hello everyone! Whose excited for day two of the beauty brawl? Today we are reviewing brow products. I chose Rimmel London's Brow This Way Brow Gel. Sorry for the delay I worked tonight and after I got home I just wanted to relax for a bit.

Until I can get the app here is my score
Product  60
Packaging  80
Price  80

I thought I would try a brow gel so I bought Rimmels in the medium brown shade. I was not a fan. I had to be really careful applying it so If you are in a rush I don't recommend it. I would rather fill in my brows with a pencil. If you like this type of product it's not awful and you can't beat the price. It was only $3.97 at Walmart. The packaging is really simple and it's the same color as the product.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Face Mask

Hello everyone! Welcome to day one of the Summer Beauty Brawl! I really enjoyed the Christmas Beauty Brawl so I was excited when I was asked if I wanted to be a part of this one. Today we are reviewing face masks and I chose the Feeling Beautiful Avocado & Oatmeal face mask. 

First of all you can't beat the price of these masks $3.27 for 6 fl. oz. The clay helps remove the dirt and oil from your pores while Vitamin E, Avocado, and Oatmeal moisturize. You can use this mask two times a week or as often as needed. I leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and my skin feels great. The packaging is nice and simple which obviously helps keep it budget friendly. I definitely prefer it over another one of their masks.

I hope you enjoyed day one head over to thatluckieone to see what product Mikayla chose! Also our hashtag is #beautybrawl16 so you can follow us on social media to see what everyone chose.  

March 2016 ipsy glambag review

Hello Everyone! It's time for my ipsy review! When I was checking out their Instagram seeing all the cool things that could be in my bag I got really excited. Well I didn't get any of the things I wanted to try so I was REALLY disappointed. I had to remind myself that I might be pleasantly surprised by some of the items. I loved the bag design this month I thought it was perfect for March.

Aphrodite Skin Care - Replenishing Eye Cream  $27.99 

I wasn't thrilled about this product. I already got two full sized eye creams for the blog which will take me a while to use so I obviously didn't need more. It does seem like a good product  though. It didn't irritate my skin and it felt nice on the skin. I will probably just give this to someone.

Vera Mona - Lotus Eyeshadow in Clover  palette  

This eyeshadow is full size and it normally comes in a palette. The link is above if you want to check it out. When I first looked at it I wasn't thrilled but once I swatched it I thought it was a really pretty color. It's very creamy and it has good pigmentation. Just make sure you use a good eye primer. 

 

 

Margaret Dabbs London - Super Shiner Buffer  £7.00

I was not happy about getting this product. I don't use nail buffers. There were so many products I would have loved to try. 

NYX Cosmetics - Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick $7

I was disappointed that I wasn't getting Colour Pop but I had been wanting to try this liquid lipstick since it came out. I got the shade pink lust. When I first saw it I was kind of like yikes that will look so bad on me. Once I put it on I was surprised I didn't hate it. I have to channel my inner P!nk but its definitely a fun color to rock this summer! I actually went to Target to pick up another in the shade Tea & Cookies.

TEMPTU - Warm Glow Bronzer  $35

I'm not sure how I feel about this bronzer. I'm not used to using bronzer because I have trouble finding the right shade. The shade does seem to work for me (In the picture below I didn't blend it out very well.) Liquid bronzer just seems really messy to me. But it did blend well and the color did look good. I just don't care for all the shimmer in it. 

So that was my March 2016 ipsy glam bag. Two products I really liked, one that is ok, and two that I wasn't happy with. You just have to remember not every bag will be amazing. I have seen my April glam bag sneek peek and can I just say it looks good! If you want to start getting an ipsy glam bag you can use my link!
