The Royal Peach Palette by Kylie Cosmetics Swatches! ♡

Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a great day. Today, I'm going to be showing you guys swatches of the Royal Peach Palette from Kylie Cosmetics. This is the second palette I've bought from Kylie Cosmetics. When she first showed previews of it, I died and went to heaven. I live for orange, peach, warm tones and I knew I was going to love this. Unfortunately I was at work the day it first released and I missed it by 8 minutes! I was able to get it when she re-stocked it for the first time. I always get my stuff super fast so I was pleased with that. I won't be doing a review this time around as I haven't really played with the palette much to give it an honest review. I will be playing with all the shades the next two weeks and then I'll be posting my review. For today I'm just going to be showing you swatches of all 12 shades and describing the colors. Let's get right into it!


From bottom to top: Sorbet- A matte light, true peach shade.
Seashell- A shimmery champagne shade.
Peachy- A matte bright, peachy orange shade.
Royal- A matte true royal blue shade.
Queen Bee- A shimmery mustard, golden shade.
Duke- A shimmery dark orange shade.
Duchess- A shimmery dark champagne shade.
Sandy- A matte light brown shade.
Mojito- A shimmery cool green shade.
North Star- A shimmery cool purple shade.
Crush- A shimmery bright pink shade.
Cinnamon- A matte brick orange shade.

That's it for today. Look forward to my full review on this palette in about two weeks. I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Let me know if you own this palette and what your thoughts are. See you guys next time! ♡♡

Updated Liquid Lipstick Collection 2017 ♡

Hello everyone! A year ago, I posted my liquid lipstick collection here on my blog. It has massively grown since then and I thought I should do an updated post on my collection. Last time I reviewed all of the liquid lipsticks but since there's so many this time around I'll just be naming a couple of my fave shades and formulas. I hope you guys enjoy, let's get into it!

From bottom to top: Colourpop's "Trap", Colourpop's "Monday", NYX's "Ruffle Trim", Hard Candy's "Daffodil", Anastasia's "Ashton", NYX's "Seduction", Kat Von D's "Lolita", LA Girl's "Fleur", Colourpop's "StingRAYE", Wet N Wild's "Give Me Mocha", Lime Crime's "Shroom", Colourpop's "Mess Around", NYX's "Teddy", NYX's "Beauty Mark", Colourpop's "Tansy", Colourpop's "Kae", Colourpop's "Limbo", Ofra's "Brooklyn", and Lena Lashes' "Frederique"

From bottom to top: Too Faced's "It's Happening", Colourpop's "Botanical", Colourpop's "Succulent", Rimmel's "Orange-ology", Colourpop's "Mama", Ofra's "Miami Fever", Maybelline's "Nude Flush", Colourpop's "Bumble", Colourpop's "Wild Nothing", NYX's "Soft Spoken", Colourpop's "Chilly Chili", Colourpop's "Teeny Tiny", Colourpop's "Tulle", Colourpop's "Are & Be", Colourpop's "Thursday", Colourpop's "Bad Habit", Rimmel's "Meteoric Matte", Ulta's "Allusive", NYX's "Vancouver", Colourpop's "Guess"

From bottom to top: Maybelline's "Rebel Red", NYX's "Monte Carlo", Rimmel's "Burning Lava", Colourpop's "Lost", Colourpop's "Avenue", Colourpop's "Rooch", Colourpop's "Prim", Anastasia's "Vamp", Too Faced's "Drop Dead Red", Kat Von D's "Damned", Kat Von D's "Witches", and Kat Von D's "Echo"

Those are the swatches of all the liquid lipsticks I currently own. I'm very certain my collection will continue growing so you'll probably be seeing another updated collection in the future. My favorite brands of liquid lipstick are Colourpop, Too Faced, and Kat Von D. You really can't go wrong with Colourpop, their prices are incredible and you get good quality products. They're constantly coming out with new shades. Too Faced lipsticks are always so pigmented and easy to work with and they dry beautifully. Kat Von D lipsticks stay on all day and don't feel gross on the lips. I mentioned in my blog post last time that I wasn't feeling Anastasia's formula but I purchased another shade and I absolutely love it! The formula seems to have been improved so I might buy a couple more shades to see if they did improve the formula and I'll do a review. Let me know what your favorite liquid lipsticks are, I'd love to know! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, see you next time.

Play! by Sephora January 2017 Review ♡

Hello everyone! I subscribed to Sephora's first subscription box service when it first came out back in 2015. I was subbed for 3 months until I decided to cancel because I just wasn't feeling it. But, with the new year coming in and me seeing that they were improving their service, I decided to re-subscribe. Let me tell you right now, I was far from disappointed with the first box of the year! Let's get into the review of the products for this month. 


Tory Burch Love Relentlessly: When I saw this sample I got so excited! This is the newest Tory Burch perfume and it smells heavenly. Ever since we got it in stock at work I always spray it on myself. It's the perfect spring/summer scent. If you like floral, sweet scents you'll love this!
Clinique Almost Lipstick in "Black Honey": When I saw this I thought it was going to be a mascara until I opened it. After reading the description of the product I was a little disappointed as it described it as a sheer, glossy lipstick. I'm not a gloss girl at all and I like my lip products to be pigmented so I didn't see myself using this at all. But, one day I was doing super natural makeup and needed something quick to throw on my lips and I decided to try it and I actually fell in love! It's a beautiful moisturizing lip tint. 
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+: I'm very familiar with this product because it's my mom's favorite "foundation." Every time I do her makeup I use this on her. I myself am not a fan of the product as I don't like bb or cc creams cause I like my face to be super matte. But, this product does have amazing coverage!
OUAI Treatment Masque: I loveeee hair masks but when I saw the size of the sample I laughed because I have so much hair! There was no way this mask was going to cover my whole head so I used it on my ends and let me say, they felt great after!
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream: I was actually so excited to use this product because of the ingredients. I thought it was going to smell so good but it smelled like any other moisturizer/sun screen. I didn't do much for my skin so I wouldn't say this is my fave product from the box.
Tarte FRXXXTION Stick Exfoliating Cleanser: This I was really excited for as I've been wanting to try it ever since it came out! I love this product, it's a great exfoliater and it makes my skin feel super smooth after using. I'm definitely going to be buying the full size.

Overall, I would say Sephora has majorly improved this subscription service! If you'd like to sign up for their waiting list on this box, here's a link. It's $10 a month which is not bad at all especially from products in Sephora. I hope you guys enjoyed today's post, see you next time!

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette Swatches + Review! ♡

Hey everyone, I'm back with a new post! Today I'm going to be talking about the popular Too Faced Sweet Peach palette. When this palette came out last year in limited qualities it sold out so fast! I remember going to my local Sephora the day it was stocked and they told me they ran out an hour after opening. I was so sad that I couldn't get my hands on this palette. Then, Too Faced announced they'd be relaunching the palette in December which I was so happy about! I purchased mine at work since we had quite a few in stock and I'm so glad I did. Let's get into the swatches and then I'll be giving you a review at the end.

From left to right: White Peach, Luscious, Just Peachy, Bless Her Heart, Tempting, Charmed I'm Sure, Nectar, Cobbler, Candied Peach, Bellini, Peach Pit, Delectable, Peaches 'N Cream, Georgia, Caramelized, Puree, Summer Yum, and Talk Derby To Me

My thoughts on this palette are that it's a great palette. While it may not be the best palette ever made, it is good quality. The shades aren't patchy, they're very pigmented. This palette has some gorgeous shimmer shades as well as nice matte shades. The smell may be a bit overwhelming at first. The first time I used the palette I could smell the shadows through out the whole day and it bothered me a bit but I've gotten used to the smell and it doesn't bother me anymore. You got lots of shades so the price isn't bad when you really think about it. If you've been eyeing this palette, I recommend you buy it. 
Too Faced | $49 + Free Shipping on purchases over $50
ULTA | $49 + Free Shipping on purchases over $50
Sephora | $49 + Free Shipping on purchases over $50
That's all for today's blog post, I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know if you own this palette and how you like it. Thank you for visiting my page.

Master Palette by Mario Swatches/Mini Review ♡

When I heard Mario was going to be collabing with Anastasia for a palette I was so exicted! But then when I saw it I was kind of dissapointed. It looked like such a basic palette that I really did not need. I said I wasn't going to get it as I wasn't interested at all. As weeks went by I started to want it haha. So I caved and purchased it about 2 months ago at work. I'm going to be showing you swatches of all 12 shades and then giving you a mini review at the end. Let's get into it!


From left to right: Hollywood, NYC, Kim, Muse, Marina, Claudia, Lula, Isabel, Violeta, 5th Ave, Bronx, and Paris
I think this palette is great for people who like using more neutral colors! There's just the right amount of mattes for transitions and to darken up the crease. You also have all these beautiful satin and shimmer shades to choose from. Overall, this palette is great, very pigmented and easy to work with. Let me know if you own this palette and what you think of it.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll see you next time!
