Current MAC Lipstick Collection #NationalLipstickDay

Happy National Lipstick Day! Since lipstick is definitely something I have a lot of, I thought posting about the makeup brand that I have the most lipsticks from would be a fun idea.

MAC was the first "high end" makeup brand I ever purchased from and since then I have collected 13 of their lipsticks! I have a ton of other tubes from different brands but MAC is the bulk of my growing lipstick collection.

From left to right: Pretty Please (Lustre), Please Me (Matte), Pink Plaid (Matte), Soft Sell (Pro Longwear Lipcreme), and Taupe (Matte)

Taupe is one of my favorite shades because I am a sucker for a pink/brown. I sometimes feel that cool tone pinks look soft of odd with my skin tone, but I'm trying to get used to them. 

Pretty Please was actually the first MAC lipstick I ever bought. It's not really a shade I usually pick up but at the time I didn't know about the different finishes so I grabbed the first one that appealed to me. It's still a really nice shade if you want something that isn't too noticeable.

From left to right: Ruby Woo (Matte), Russian Red (Matte), and Diva (Matte)

Surprisingly, I don't have many reds. I feel like every beauty blogger has a large collection of reds, but it's honestly not something I buy a lot of. I love red lipstick but whenever I'm out shopping I'm always attracted to other colors first. I really love vampy colors so Diva is obviously my favorite out of these three!

I picked up Ruby Woo awhile ago since I heard everyone constantly talking about it. But I then realized that Russian Red actually suits me more! I prefer a red lipstick with a blue undertone!

From left to right: Candy Yum Yum (Matte), Daddy's Little Girl (Satin), Up the Amp (Amplified), Heroine (Matte), and Cyber (Satin)

And lastly, I have the purple shades. Purple is my favorite color so of course I have to have some beautiful shades of purple lipstick! 

I will admit, Daddy's Little Girl was mostly bought because it was from the Archie Girl's Collection a few years back and I couldn't resist the packaging. Cyber is still a lip color that takes some guts to wear but it's so pretty during the colder months!

One of my all time favorite colors is Up the Amp, I love that it isn't too overwhelming but it still gives you a noticeably unique color. 

Happy National Lipstick Day! Put on your favorite shade and go enjoy the day!

Random Mini Collective Haul

I've recently received and purchased some things that I thought would be fun to haul. They are all pretty random but regardless, I'm excited to talk about all of these. Unfortunately this post should have been up awhile ago, (if you notice that Sugar Pop Palette in the corner there you'll remember I did a whole post on it awhile ago that you can find here.) However, I figured I should still upload it and share it with you all!

Steven Universe #1 & #2

Steven Universe Comics #3 & #4

Steven Universe Comics #5, #7, & #8

When I purchased all of these from Kaboom, issue #6 was unfortunately out of stock. However, I didn't mind too much.  Of course, I had to get my hands on these because Steven Universe is one of my favorite series ever! I will be doing a post about Steven Universe in the future so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm and Monte Carlo

Ardell Twin Pack Demi 120

Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette

The two Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams and the Ardell lashes were completely impulse buys. I was walking around Ulta and just grabbed them. Of course, I certainly don't regret it! The lip creams are beautiful and have wonderful pigmentation and the Ardell lashes are always one of my favorites!

The perfect palette to add a pop of color to your summer looks! Check out the in depth post I did about this palette here!

These are brushes that I came across while browsing Ebay one day and they immediately caught my eye because this 4 brush set was priced at $1.88 with FREE shipping! I'm not really super keen on shopping on Ebay but after purchasing these, I will definitely check them out more often. I was really surprised at how nice the quality of these were. They are so soft and blend my shadow beautifully and I have incorporated them into my daily makeup routine! I actually like these so much I've been thinking about buying a second set just to have them around.

Click here to purchase them!

I desperately needed some new sunglasses. I really don't own any and I wanted to get into the habit of wearing them more often to protect my eyes from the sun! I really wanted some 'aviator" like shades and was so excited when I scored this awesome limited edition set from ZeroUV!

I'm not a huge fan of the yellow/orange tinted shades but I am in love with the blue and green tinted ones! They are a bit big, but I don't mind. I would definitely recommend checking out ZeroUV if you want cheap but amazing looking sunglasses. They have so many styles and they are all reasonably priced. 

And lastly, I got this adorable mini cupcake maker! How cute is that? This was actually a gift from my mother because I would always point it out whenever I saw one! I'm definitely going to have to pick up the lavender cake pop maker soon! I didn't want to talk about this in depth because I'm going to do a review and a demo of this later on, so look out for that! 

I hope you all enjoyed this little haul. I am debating on whether or not I will post a birthday haul, I didn't get anything beauty related but if you guys still want to see it I might end up posting one! I hope you all are wonderful and of course, talk to me down in the comments! I love talking to you all!

Birthday Wishlist

]

1. Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami - I have been interested in reading this book for quite awhile now.

2. & 3. Borderlands/Borderlands 2 - Surprisingly, I have never played any of the Borderlands games! I've always been interested in trying them out and adding them to my collection.

4. Too Faced Natural Matte Eye Palette -  It's not that I necessarily need this palette, I just think it'd be a nice addition to my neutral shadow collection.

5. Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette - I am a huge fan of the Anastasia contour kit...but I've heard this one is even better! I'm always looking for something that will step up my contour and highlight game a little more, so this is definitely high on my wishlist.

6. Canon G7x - This is definitely a huge splurge item. I have been wanting a good camera that is lighter so I can carry it wherever I go. Plus, I've been wanting to start a Youtube channel, and unfortunately, the camera I currently use doesn't support videos. I feel like this camera is not only practical, but great quality!

7. My Neighbor Totoro - I own most of the Studio Ghibli movies, but for some odd reason, I don't own one of the staple movies that everyone always links to Ghibli! This is a wonderful movie and I'd really like to add it to my movie collection!

8. Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar - I've been after this palette since it released! The original Chocolate Bar Palette is one of my all time favorites, so I'm sure this one won't disappoint!

9. Silent Hill HD Collection - Silent Hill is my favorite gaming series of all time. After I recently got rid of my Xbox, I've had to switch all of my games over to PS3. Unfortunately, I haven't added these back into my video game collection, but hopefully I will have them back soon!

10. Tartlette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette - I have never tried any of Tarte's shadows, but a beautiful palette filled with gorgeous, matte, neutral shades? Count me in!

11. #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso - I've heard everyone talk about this book and I'm sure you have too! It just seems like such an interesting read, plus I really love the site Nasty Gal!

12. Big Hero 6 -  Of course, I had to add my current favorite movie to my list. This was a movie that made me laugh and also brought me to tears. It's such a wonderful film and I could watch it over and over again. I definitely need to own this!



Since it is now June and my birthday is quickly approaching, I thought I would throw together a little wishlist, since you all seemed to like it last year when I made one and I enjoy making them!

Let me know if you have any of the things I mentioned, or if any of these things are on your own wishlist!

Sugar Pop | Beauty Review

Let me start off by saying that Too Faced is one of my favorite beauty brands. The quality of their products are always wonderful. Often times their palettes are cheaper than other brands as well! And we can't deny, they always have the cutest packaging. From making their products smell like chocolate to offering beautifully blendable eye shadows, this brand has done no wrong in my eyes.

If I'm being honest, when I first saw photos of this palette, I mainly wanted it because of the packaging. But can you blame me? How cute are all of these fun, multicolored macaroons? After doing some research and reading some reviews I knew it was something that I really wanted to add to my collection. You can imagine how excited I was when this palette popped up in my mailbox!

The palette has beautiful packaging and it's also quite structured and stable. Even though it does have a magnetized closing, I still am a bit wary to just throw this into a bag. If you're traveling with it I'd make sure you tuck it into a makeup bag so it won't open up!

The shadows are separated into different categories going across each row.

The top row; Sweet & Spicy - Rock Candy, Macaron, Malted Milk Ball
The middle row; Sugar Plums - Strawberry Ice, Sugared Violet, Blackberry
The bottom row; Candy Coated - Peach Fuzz, Bubblegum, Blue Raspberry

They included 3 highlight shades, 3-4 lovely pops of color and two shades that can be described as a bit more neutral. I love bright colors, but I am still a bit nervous when it comes to applying them. But after testing this palette out, I discovered that one of my favorite shades is the beautiful Blue Raspberry! I think it adds the perfect touch of color when you run it under your bottom lash line after completing your eye look.

Two shades I'm not too fond of are Rock Candy and Peach Fuzz. My only problem is they are extremely similar. They do have some slight differences but I don't think they should have added both colors into one palette, however I am super pleased with everything else!

If you're interested in this palette but haven't picked it up yet, click here! I believe it's limited edition for Spring, so get your hands on it while you can!

What have you been eyeing at Sephora?

My Favorite Makeup Transformations

I am a huge sucker for Special Effects makeup. I think it takes so much creativity and talent to create looks that look so magical/scary but also realistic! Halloween is the best time to stumble across these types of tutorials on Youtube so I decided to share with you my three favorite ladies that do an absolutely fantastic job at transforming themselves into the crazy and cute.

 Emma Pickles

Emma Pickles doesn't do a ton of Special Effects videos. She has some here and there on her channel but this one is by far the most impressive I've seen! I was stunned when I saw this on my feed and I clicked on it right away! She did an absolutely amazing job and I can't wait to see what types of transformations she comes up with in the future.

MadeYewLook

 

 
MadeYewLook is one of the most talented Youtubers I have found when it comes to creating a wide array of special effects looks. She can make herself look exactly like a character! I can't imagine how much patience and time it takes to get it down but I'm so glad she does. I could literally watch her videos for hours. She is an amazing body painter and you can tell she is extremely passionate about what she does.




I mean look at that Freddy Krueger Tutorial! No latex or anything, 100% drugstore products! That's insane!

Dope2111

 
I'm sure a lot of you have heard about this girl, as you definitely should! She doesn't do many "monster/creepy" tutorials but she does amazing character and celebrity transformations. I don't understand how she can make herself look so much like certain celebrities, (even men!) but I thoroughly enjoy watching.  




Definitely give these ladies a watch, you won't be disappointed!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Review

I'm sure you've seen tons of pictures and reviews on this palette and I honestly feel like I'm the last one to do a review on it but I really wanted to share my thoughts. Purchasing this palette was on a complete whim. I had been interested in it but I tried to avoid it because I really don't need it. However, one day as I was walking around Sephora I ended up randomly grabbing it and purchasing it.

I had already seen and read plenty of reviews on it so I didn't think I'd be disappointed. I just didn't know if I'd be super impressed either since I have tons of neutral shades. I went home and decided to immediately try an eye look just so I could play with the colors and see how the pigment transferred to my skin. Luckily, I fell in love!

The palette comes with a total of 16 shades ranging from light to dark, shimmery and matte. That also includes the two bigger shades that are highlights. I feel like this palette has a great range of colors that you can do countless looks with. It's not very often that I feel 100% confident using one palette to create a look but whenever I reach for this it ends up being the only one I use that day.

Here are some swatches of all the colors included in the palette!

Top Row: Gilded Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Forest Truffle, and Triple Fudge.

Middle Row: Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Strawberry Bon Bon, Candied Violet, and Amaretto.

Bottom Row: Hazelnut, Creme Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Codial, and Champagne Truffle.

(Champagne truffle is such a beautiful highlight color!)

As you can see, all of the colors pigment is magnificent. All of the colors are so creamy and they aren't patchy at all.  They apply very smoothly and you don't need to really layer it on to create a pigmented color/swatch.

Also, this whole palette smells like chocolate just like the rest of the Too Faced products in the "Chocolate" line. Not a super important point but definitely a pleasant one! 

Overall, I really really love this palette. It's definitely one of my new favorites and I am so happy I picked it up. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that's a fan of beautiful neutral shades, or just someone who loves makeup in general. I really think it's one of the best palettes I own, which is saying something because I own a LOT. I love how versatile it is, you can create a simple eye look or a dramatic one. If you have had your eye on this palette I definitely suggest picking it up! 

Favorite Youtubers

Youtube is a BIG part of my every day life. I am constantly watching new videos, finding new people and falling in love with new styles, makeup looks, and vlogs. I would also someday like to start my own channel, would you guys be into that? I don't know, maybe someday! But anyway, I thought it'd be fun to make a list of my favorite Youtube channels! Hopefully you see someone you like or discover someone new! 

AlbinWonderland

Alb, also known as Angelina, is just an amazing person in my opinoin! She doesn't have a set schedule like some that upload weekly or on certain days. But I always get SO excited when I see she posted something new. She has such great views and she isn't afraid to express them. She makes videos about her life, makeup, hair, feminism, etc. I really love the overall variation she has with her videos, her channel isn't about just one thing, it's about EVERYTHING. She is so well spoken and kind and I genuinely love every video she posts. I feel like her channel is such an honest and kind place.

Anastajia Louise

 

Anastasjia is a newer subscription for me on Youtube. A lot of her videos have to do with thrifting which I find very entertaining and exciting when people can find beautiful things at local thrift/vintage shops. She's a very funny girl and I can tell she really enjoys what she's talking about. I also enjoy how honest she is about her struggles with anxiety and how she wants to help others that suffer with it too! She's so easy to relate to which I think is why I enjoy watching her so much.


Claire Marshall
 

I've been watching Claire for about a year or two now and I still get super excited to see when she posts a new video. She posts a lot of fashion, makeup and vlogs and I really enjoy every single one! I also really love her decor style and just in general I feel like she really loves making Youtube videos and really connects with her watchers and is very down to earth which is something that I really like.  
Jenn Im
 

I feel like Jenn Im is a must watch for anyone who loves fashion. Her style is usually so simple but so polished and unique at the same time. But I have to say, my favorite videos of hers are the vlogs when she travels! Her styling videos always inspire me as well! She is so bright and happy and all of her videos are so neat and clean and I just thoroughly enjoy watching her.


SoothingSista
 

Stephanie aka SoothingSista is a channel that focuses on fashion and beauty, do you see a reoccuring theme here? I found her through Jenn Im, they happen to be best friends, and I fell in love with her videos. Her voice is really soft and somewhat...soothing, maybe that's where her name came from? But really, I always feel very calm listening and watching her videos and I really like that. She also seems to know what she's talking about and she enjoys it.
Jaclyn Hill
 

If you love makeup videos and you haven't heard of Jaclyn Hill, stop reading this right now and go check out her channel! Her makeup is always so perfect and I feel like we have a lot of the same likes when it comes to makeup. So I always make sure to check out her videos before going shopping! She is such a bright and bubbly person and watching her videos, whether it be a tutorial, haul, or just her sitting and chatting you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. Her makeup skills are beautiful and I never get tired of seeing the looks she comes up with.  


I hope you guys maybe found a new Youtuber that you can fall in love with! These are just a few of my many subscriptions on Youtube, but I felt it would be fun to share my favorites because I'm always interested in hearing which Youtubers other people love!

Makeup Haul! Sephora + MAC

This post is long overdue. But I have finally finished editing and now it's complete! These are all products that I bought during my birthday this year, which was in June. Since this post is pretty photo-heavy I won't be going into depth with each product. However, let me know if you'd like to see a full review for any of them!

MAC

First off let's go over the 3 MAC products I purchased. 

MAC Studio Conceal and Correct Palette/Light

This is a concealer palette I have had my eyes on forever! I was hesitant to buy it online because I was afraid of purchasing the wrong shade and every time I went to a MAC counter they always seemed to be sold out. However, I was in luck because they finally had it back in stock and I am so glad I didn't opt for ordering it online because I always leaned towards the palette in the Medium shade, but when seeing it in person I discovered it would have definitely been too dark for me. The Light palette is definitely the correct choice for my skin tone.

Unfortunately I haven't used this yet (I wanted to get a good photo first, wow, the life of a blogger right?) But I am so eager to test it out and play with the different shades to brighten and conceal my skin! I will let you know in the future how I like it.

Mac Blush in Melba

The next product I got was a matte blush in the shade Melba. This is another product I have wanted for awhile now and I'm very pleased with it. It's a lovely, pigmented color that goes great with my skin tone.

Mac Lipstick in Heroine

I purchased Heroine, finally! I am so excited to have my hands on this lipstick. After it being included in multiple collections that I always seemed to miss out on they finally made it a permanent product, and I couldn't be happier. It's such a pretty, matte shade of purple.



Sephora

Now for the products purchased at Sephora!

Like I previously said, this was all purchased around my birthday so I received my free birthday gift. I got a free mascara and a lipstick. The lipstick is from the Rouge Artist Natural Make Up For Ever line. (Sorry I didn't get a picture of the shade) But it's explained as a copper pink, it's the N9 shade if any of you were wondering. It's a pretty color but it is a lot more sheer than I was hoping. As for the mascara, I haven't tried it yet, but we'll see!

I also decided to spend some of my Sephora points on the 500 point perk, which was a full Make Up For Ever samples box. Since MUFE is one of my favorite brands this definitely peaked my interest. It had two mascaras, two aqua liners, sens'eyes makeup remover and 3 shades of the new Artist Shadows that were just released. I've always been eager to try the aqua liners so I felt this was a great chance to test them out before buying the full version.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Palette

Just take a moment to admire how beautiful this palette is. I bought this on a complete whim. I mean I had seen it before multiple times online but my initial idea was to purchase it later because I certainly don't need it. However when I was in Sephora browsing the aisles I ended up picking it up and not putting it back down. The colors are just so gorgeous and did I mention it not only looks like a chocolate bar, but smells exactly like one too? How could you pass that up?

Too Faced Melted Lipstick

These Too Faced Melted Lipsticks caught my eye immediately after they were released. I loved the packaging, the shades and the idea. I love long wearing lipstick that dries as a matte shade, so I knew I would have to try one of these. I really wanted to buy the beautiful vibrant purple, however I figured I would start off with a color I could wear daily, that way if I wasn't a huge fan of the formula, I would still be able to use it up. 

(Spoiler alert, I love it and will definitely be purchasing more!)

Marc Jacobs Highliner

I have been trying to find a long wearing eyeliner pencil for so long. I really wanted to do research before I bought one though because the pencils at Sephora cost around $20 a piece, which I have no problem with if it actually works, but I wasn't about to shell out $20 for an eyeliner that smears the second I put it on. 

This is another one of those products that I purchased on a complete whim. I ended up swatching this on my hand in the store and after it dried I tried rubbing it off and it would not budge at all. So I just decided to purchase it, and I'm really happy that I did! Also this one is in the shade Th(ink) which is a pretty navy color.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

There isn't much to say about this product. It's one of those things that I feel like I "need" to finish a complete makeup look. It keeps my makeup on for hours and keeps it look fresh and just applied. However, if you have watery eyes like me, it doesn't stop your eye makeup from smearing a bit, so just keep that in mind. But if my eyes cooperate fine then I have no problem keeping my makeup on for 12+ hours. It definitely does it's job and it does it well. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Foundation

I had tried a sample of this awhile back and I fell in love with it. It took me awhile to purchase it because I have way too much foundation as it is, but I wanted one that was natural and not too thick but still has full coverage. This is definitely the foundation I was looking for. It's great for summer and for those days where you want to look put together without covering your face with tons of product.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue

This isn't a product that I use often, however it's greatly appreciated when I do. I don't wear glitter much on my eyes but without this glitter glue I wouldn't be wearing glitter at all. It really holds all of my eye makeup on for hours and hours without any fall out.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

And last, but certainly not least I have the infamous contour kit. This is probably the product I was most excited about. I have wanted this product for so long so you can imagine my excitement when I entered the Sephora and it was the first thing I laid eyes on. I grabbed it immediately. I definitely plan on doing a full review on this so I won't be going too into detail now, however I will say that if you are a huge contouring fan, then you need this in your life!


Well, that's all for my Birthday Makeup Haul! Let me know in the comments below if you want to see a full review on any of these and I gladly will. I'm going to definitely be posting some on a few of these products in the future any way!

I hope you all enjoyed reading this and are having a wonderful day!

Current Favorites!

Hello everyone! I thought it'd be fun to make a list of some of my current favorites. This is a pretty long post so be prepared! Most of these products I've had for awhile, but I'm just rediscovering my love for them!

Face Masks

These masks are so much fun to use! Plus there are so many choices! My favorite ones are the olive oil, dead sea and charcoal & black sugar. I got these at Walmart and they were only 70 cents, so it's definitely worth checking out in my opinion! They have tons of different choices that can work for anyone's skin issues! I've been thinking of doing a big post on these masks and more, so if you are interested let me know!

Aussie Aussome Volume Hairspray

I'm usually not a person that uses hairspray. It always makes my hair have a gross texture and I feel like it just didn't work for me. However, I recently picked this up because I have "straight across" bangs and I'm having trouble keeping them in the same spot. I used this and I really love it! It really holds my hair well and it does give me great volume, especially when I straighten my hair and it's looking kind of flat.

MAC Archie Girls Blush - Cream Soda

I really hate showing you guys a product that isn't available anymore, but I really couldn't find a better blush recently. This was part of the Archie Girls Collection at MAC last February. I'll admit, the first selling point of this product was definitely the adorable packaging. But this blush is so flattering towards spring and summer and I couldn't be more happy with it! It looks especially good if you have fair skin. 

It has the perfect mixture of peach and coral. It's so light and gorgeous! This picture really doesn't do it justice. I forgot to take a picture of the name (sorry!), but it's Cream Soda. If you guys are interested in this blush, let me know! I can do a future post on dupes!

Urban Decay -  Naked 2 Palette

I know this product isn't anything new but I thought I'd throw this in as well! I have a lot of neutral eyeshadow palettes and for a long time the original Naked was always my favorite. (It still is my all time favorite!) 

I know it doesn't look like it, but recently I have been reaching for this palette a LOT! I only wear eyeshadow about once a week, but when I do I always find myself using at least one color from this palette. I really like Foxy and Bootycall for an inner corner or a brow highlight. And I'm always using the infamous Half Baked as a lid color!

MUFE HD Microperfecting Primer

I already did a detailed review about this product that you can check out here! But in short, this is an amazing primer. It really diffuses redness in my skin and makes my foundation stay on for a very long time!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder - Dim Light

This product took me forever to purchase because of the intimidating price tag! But I am so glad I finally did! I was worried that it would just be a standard setting powder, but it's really the best I've used! 

The color doesn't look like anything amazing but it honestly works so well and is so beautiful in person. It really blurs imperfections and sets your foundation flawlessly, and it gives you a nice glow without making you look shiny!

I got it in Dim Light and I'm positive that I'll be purchasing the other shades in the future!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

I really love this concealer. It's super creamy, as the name states. It's great for highlighting as well if you get a lighter shade.

I'm in the shade "Honey" it matches my skin tone fairly well and covers up any dark spots I have!

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24h Foundation

This is my all time favorite foundation. The price is a bit scary but I'm so happy I finally purchased it. It stays on my skin for so long and makes my skin look completely flawless. I only wear it for special occasions because I love it so much and don't want to waste it. The formula is so smooth and blendable. If you're interested in this foundation definitely buy it! I don't think you will be disappointed!

MAC Fluidline - Dipdown

I've had this fluidline for awhile. I purchased it to use for my eyebrows but at first I thought it was too dark. However recently I started using it again and I love it! 

I only apply it onto the ends of my brows to make the arch more predominant and darker to create a bit of an ombre effect. It's really great and makes my eyebrows look clean and perfect! I only dab the brush into the pot lightly though, because if I swipe it I always get too much product!

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

This product is beautiful! I'm really a big fan of matte bronzers because I don't like too much shimmer on my face. This gives such a nice, light contour.  Plus, did I mention it smells just like chocolate?! I swear, sometimes I think this is just pure Nestle Chocolate Milk powder.

If you're a little bit tanner though I would go for the regular Chocolate Soleil because I don't think this one would show up very well! But with my pale skin tone the Milk Chocolate Soleil is perfect!

Benefit Watts Up Highlighter

This highlighter is pretty unique for me. Most of my highlighters are powder and liquid. But this one is a cream in the form of a stick. Last year I ended up getting 2 samples of it for my birthday and I fell in love with it. So I decided to buy the full size! 

It's really one of those highlighters that you can tell you're wearing. The color is a beautiful champagne. (I haven't used this one yet, I'm still working on the last sample!) I'm not sure if you're supposed to apply the stick straight to your face, but I use my fingers instead! Sometimes I will set it with a powder highlight just to make it more intense, but it really doesn't need it! It's easy to blend and looks so gorgeous when light's hit your face. Plus it doesn't make you look like a disco ball, which is always nice, right? 

Benefit Erase Paste

I was looking for a good under-eye concealer for a long time. I don't really suffer from bags, or extremely dark circles but I wanted something that would brighten up my eyes!

Erase paste does an amazing job at brightening and highlighting under my eyes! It's so creamy and easy to blend and it's really noticeable (at least to me!) when I'm not wearing it! I was worried that since it was so creamy it would settle into my fine lines but I really haven't had any trouble with it at all! I always make sure to set it with a powder, but even when I don't, I never notice it really smearing or moving!

I initially wanted to purchase the lightest color but I saw this shade in the store and figured it would be light enough to start out with. It really is perfect for me but I'd like to try the lightest shade as well in the future just to see what it would look like!

Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume

I am a huge fan of Katy Perry and when she came out with this perfume I knew I had to have it! I'm bad at describing scents, but here are the notes!

Top Notes: Wild berries, dark plum, and bergamot

Heart Notes: Celosia, Sambac jasmine, and rainbow plumeria

Base Notes: Cashmere, patchouli and liquid praline

I really like this perfume, especially towards the evening. It's very feminine without making you smell childish. The staying power is pretty decent but I sometimes have to freshen it up throughout wearing it so I would recommend having a roller ball! The bottle is adorable as well!

MAC Lipsticks

I have two current favorite lipsticks and they're both from MAC! I have so many lipsticks but if I had to choose a favorite brand I think I'd always choose them. They have such a wide range of beautiful colors and finishes that you can never go wrong.

Taupe

My first is a shade called taupe, which is true to the name! It's a pinky brown nude with a matte finish that is gorgeous. I feel like it's best to wear this around the cooler months but I never hesitate to wear it anytime! Makeup has no rules!

Up the Amp

My second is Up the Amp! It's a gorgeous purple with pink undertones and it's an amplified finish. It's so gorgeous and definitely my go to if I want something a little more bright!

Bath & Body Works Candles

Market Peach

Pineapple Mango

I've had these two candles for about a year now and I completely forgot I owned them! I'm so happy I found them because the smell of both of them are absolutely amazing. Market Peach and Pineapple Mango are great scents for the warmer months and always put me in a happy mood. They both smell so delicious and make me definitely want to eat some peaches and pineapple!

Well, that was my long list of current favorites! I hope you all enjoyed! Let me know if you want to see more in-depth reviews of any of these products!
