Colourpop Haul/Swatches! ♡

I placed my second order with Colourpop Cosmetics and I thought I'd do a blog post on the items I purchased. I think Colourpop is an amazing company with great products and great prices. How could you turn down $5 shadows and lip products that are better than most high end products?


I purchased 4 Super Shock Shadows and 4 Lippie Stix. Again, both $5! It took about 5 days for the items to arrive to my house. You get free shipping when you spend $30 or more by the way.
The 4 Super Shock Shadows I purchased are Animal (Satin finish), Shark Attack (Pearlized finish), Sunnies (Satin finish), and Flipper (Metallic finish).


The 4 Lippie Stix that I purchased are Luau (Hyper Glossy finish), Chi Chi (Matte finish), Yasmin (Matte finish), and Toucan (Matte finish).


Left is with flash and the right is without.
Swatches from left to right: Sunnies, Flipper, Animal, Shark Attack, Luau, Chi Chi, Yasmin, Toucan.

May 2015 Faves! ♡

My first blog post of the year and it's at the end of May, whoops. I'm going to share my May Faves with you guys today, I hope you enjoy!


•Sephora Acne-fighting Mattifying Moisturizer: I saw this in the clearance section at Sephora and because it said "mattifying" I decided to give it a try. Plus, it was only $10. I didn't expect much but I fell in love with it! I wouldn't really say it's acne-fighting but it does keep me matte when I apply it. If you see this at your local Sephora's clearance section, definitely pick it up!
•MAC Paint Pot in Painterly: I had never tried this and it's practically a holy grail item among-st the beauty community. I own Rhubarb and it's good but not for everyday. This is the perfect skin colored base to apply before eyeshadow. 
•Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: I got this in a little set in the Sephora mini/travel section before the register which by the way gets me everytime. It came with a deluxe size of the Better Than Sex mascara which is the reason I got the kit. But I'm in love with this bronzer! It's a great color for my skin tone, it's matte and it smells like chocolate.
•Nars Eyeshadow in Persia: I saw Desi Perkins from Youtube use this in one of her makeup tutorials and I instantly fell in love and had to have it! I am on this orange/coral kick and I had to have this. I ordered it on the Sephora website and when it arrived I could not stop using it. It's such a beautiful color and a must have in your collection.
•Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette in California Roll; Another product I saw used by a youtuber and had to have. Like I said I've been on a orange/coral kick and when I saw KathleenLights use this I had to have it mainly just for the beautiful peachy color. I use this almost all the time (except for the blue and green shades). It's a must have especially for the price. Shout out to my friend Jocey for buying this for me!♡
•Prestige Line & Style Ink Pen in Black Shine: I picked this up at ulta and I didn't think it'd be anything special but I love it! It's so easy to use and it's so pigmented. I always find myself going back to use it even after I've used another eyeliner.
•Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black: My holy grail drug store liquid eyeliner. It's so hard to find these days and I've heard it's been discontinued which is crazy since it's so good! If you find this you NEED to pick it up!!
•Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: I've heard good and bad things about this so I was dying to try it. It was sold out for a good amount of time at my local Sephora so I got the deluxe sample size in a kit. I'm obsessed! This mascara is so good. I recently found Ulta stocked the full size so of course I had to get it. It makes my lashes so long and full which is hard to find from a mascara for me.
•Rimmel London Show Off Matte Lip Velvets in Burning Lava and Orange-ology: I own a couple of the original Show Off Lip Lacquers so when they came out with matte ones I was so excited. I own three shades but these two are my favorites. I always get compliments when I wear these, especially with the orange one. If you're going to purchase these I recommend doing so at Ulta since they almost always have them for buy one get one 50% off.

Urban Decay Vice3 Swatches ♡


I've been eyeing the Urban Decay Vice3 since it came out and I finally got my hands on it! I went to ULTA because I had a 20% coupon and I got the last one in stock. The palette is absolutely beautiful and too hard to pass up. Sadly, I haven't used it but I can't wait to! Here are swatches of the 20 beautiful eye shadows.

November Faves! ♡

We're already in the last month of 2014, how crazy! November was a fairly good month for me and I happen to have quite a bit of makeup products I was loving.



•Urban Decay Naked 3: Since fall started I've been obsessed with doing darker eye makeup. I always keep my eye makeup simple so I started playing around with darker colors and this is perfect!
•Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation: This foundation is sooo good. It may seem thick but it doesn't feel thick on your skin. It's full coverage and stays on for a long time.
•NYC Sunny Bronzer: I've also recently gotten into using bronzer and contouring. This bronzer is the perfect bronzer to start out with because it's matte and affordable.
•YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mat Lipstick in 206-Grenat Satisfaction: This lipstick is life. It's perfect for fall! The packaging alone sold me because it looks so glamorous!
•Estee Lauder Pure Color 17-Rose Tea: I am in love with this lipstick! It goes on so smooth and it's the perfect color for fall if you don't want a dark lip.
•MAC Blush in Immortal Flower: I am not a blush person at all. I just feel like I cover up the redness on my cheeks with foundation then blush just makes it seem like I never did? Idk, but I love this blush! It's such a natural color.
•NYX Hot Single Eye Shadow in Vixen: Moment of silence for how amazing this shadow is. I swipe it all over my lid and it just looks so crisp and clean.
•Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow: I love using this for highlighting my face and cleaning up my brows. It does a good job plus the packaging is the cutest!
•MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl: Yes, I caved into the whole Kylie Jenner lip trend. This pencil is stunning!
•Prestige Eyeliner: I've been trying out lots of liquid liners to find the perfect one and I might be one step closer with this product.
•Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara: As soon as I heard thatsheart raving about this, I had to go out and buy it! It's an amazing mascara!
•Rimmel London Lash Accelerator: Same with this one, I heard Nicole Guerriero raving about it and had to purchase it. I absolutely hate it on its own but layered over the lash domination, perfect!
•Urban Decay Naked Basics: After not using this for a while, I've fallen back in love with this palette!

Ulta Haul! ♡

♡
I went to Ulta for the first time in 5 months and of course I went a bit crazy. I bought more than what's showed but it was face stuff and toiletries. 

I'm a huge Real Techniques brush lover and I own every set except for the duo fiber set.  I've always thought they looked cheap and felt like I didn't need them. I finally caved and bought them. Let's just say you might see them in a favorites post! I needed a new powder and I love the Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation so I thought why not try out the loose powder. Again, might see it in a favorites! I just recently started filling in my brows and you can never go wrong when it comes to Anastasia so I decided to try out the Brow Wiz!

I needed a new mascara and of course I always wanna try out the newest ones! Maybelline mascaras are my fave drugstore mascaras so I had to try their newest one. Because I'm obsessed with nude nails I had to pick up two polishes that look practically the same. I broke my Revlon matte top coat the other day, very, very sad day. I picked up the only one I could find.

I've been eyeing the Lipstick Queen lip sticks for a while now and when I saw this color (sorry you can't see it) I had to have it. This will definitely be in a favorites so you'll have a better look! I'm in love with the Revlon Matte Balms so I had to pick up two more.
