Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Eyeshadow Review & Swatch:

Today i'm here to talk to you about the Make Up Forever cream eye shadow in shade 13 cream beige. This is a beautiful cream eye shadow and when I say cream I mean Cream! these are soo creamy! I love this shade. It somewhat reminds me of Benefits cream shadow in R.S.V.P. I really love their cream shadows, if you're looking for something similar from the drugstore I would try The Maybelline color tattoos review here. This is such a pretty shimmery color that is so beautiful all over the lid. I really hope you got test it out... you won't regret it!


As you can see if you own any color tattoos they have the exact same packaging and they're stunning.



This is such a beautiful color. I think for the $23 it really is worth it and i definitely am going to be picking up more shades!

What's your favorite thing from Make Up For Ever?

My Favorite Highlighter: Benefit Highbeam Review & Swatch!

Today I'm going to be reviewing my all time favorite highlighter ever! This is Benefit Highbeam. Part of there Highbeam, Cha Cha Tint, Posie Tint and Benetint stains for cheeks and lips. High beam is a really nice light pink that gives you a really nice glow onto your skin. I personally think it's for all skin types. I use this to highlight the high points on my face such as my cheekbones, cupids bow, forehead, and my brow bone.  I love this because a little goes a very long way. It retails for $26  for .45 oz so about half of your average foundation. It can be found at any Sephora or ULTA.  Since I picked up a new one lately i figured I'd discuss this with you.



I really love this highlighter. I think it personally makes your skin really glowy, Since I have oily skin i use a light hand. But if you have dry, dull skin use whatever makes you feel confident! I love benefit products. They never disappoint me. 


I love how it's a baby iridescent pinkish tone to it. It's unlike any highlighter i've ever seen. I really think that it's worth the $26 to me. I'll never need any other highlighter!

What's your favorite Benefit Product?

Nail Of The Day: Essie Mint Candy Apple



Today's nail polish is Essie's Mint Candy Apple. Which I adore so much. (especially the name) This polish is your classic mint green. I even have a jacket that I wear it with because It looks amazing.  This color is especially great for spring and summer, but is something you could definitely wear year round if you like wearing bright fun colors in winter (I personally do myself.) While this color isn't exactly new or unique, the formulation of Essie's polishes is what made me purchase it.


The formulation of this was amazing (like all the other Essie polishes)  This was opaque in two coats.


What's your favorite color to wear in the fall?

NARS Laguna Bronzer: Swatch and Review!

Want Sun kissed Skin? Need a new Good quality Bronzer? Want a Bronzer that doesn't make you look orange? If you said yes to any of these then you need the NARS Laguna Bronzer. And if you didn't say yes then you still need this anyways. I love this Bronzer. It is a little on the pricey side but it's worth it. I recently ran out so today I rushed to Sephora to get a new one. I love NARS's packaging. It's so sleek and sophisticated (is that weird?)




This Bronzer retails for about $34 but I'm going to show you why it's worth it!




As you can see this is a nice light bronzer. It has subtle shimmer to it but it's nothing like chunks of glitter which i don't think you want glitter in your bronzer because bronzer is supposed to be natural looking. I personally think this is suitable for light to medium complections. But if your darker I still think you can rock it! :)



As you can see when you swatch it there is slight shimmer but nothing over the top. If you have fair skin tones I recommend a light hand because you can definitely build up the color in this bronzer. Another reason I think this bronzer is so popular is the smooth formulation. It applies and blends onto the skin really nicely which is especially important to avoid orangey bronzers. 


As soon as I run out I guarantee i'll be getting more. this is my set bronzer... for LIFE!

Will you buy Laguna? what is your favorite bronzer? xoxo :)

Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Sticks: Review & Swatches!

It seems as every time Revlon comes out with a new product I always wait a little while to get it. For now on I am definitely not. Every Revlon product that I've ever tried has NEVER disappointed me. So today's review is on there Smoky Shadow Sticks. Now I know their are ones from Covergirl and Almay but These are 1,000,000 better! They claim to be: crease-proof, long lasting, and smudgeproof. Which they really, truly are!


Torch
As you can see Torch has a rounded tip for a nice all over the lid color, And a pointed one for the crease. I personally chose this one because it looked the most wearable for me. I'm really glad I picked this up because it's AMAZING! Now, do they really keep up with their claims?








YES! I absolutely love these. They retail for about $8 and they are stunning If you go into the store seriously pick it up! What's your favorite brand from the drugstore? and What's your favorite thing from revlon? leave a comment and let me know :)

Burning Candles: My Obsession!

These candle posts are probably annoying so I am going to start doing them like every other day.  (Besides this one.) So my recent candle is the White Barn No1 nutmeg and Spice Candle. Near where I live there is a Christmas Barn. Where schools around the county decorate a tree and send it to the Barn so they all can be displayed around the holidays. The smell of this candle is EXACTLY what it smells in the barn. I absolutely love it. And I really believe that it's a delicious smell :) The scent describes as " A cozy concoction of spiced caramel and nutmeg evokes delightful memories of relaxing weekend getaways in the country."

If you love fall like me. You'll like this candle as well!
Please comment some requests for me to do!

Burning Candles: My Obsession!

Fall is here! I'm beyond excited. All the sweet smells and the cozy weather I love curling up in a soft blanket reading a book, and burning my Bath & Body Works candles. I have another candle I've been raving about recently to my friends and they seem to love it too! It's the White Barn Spice candle.It smells divine. The scent describes as "Spice and everything nice! Add some fall fragrance to your home with our welcoming blend of red cinnamon and zesty orange peel with a dollop of sweet vanilla cream."
I really only buy candles when they're 2 for $20 because it's like buying one candle and getting another one free. I absolutely love the 3 wick candles. I have so many candles from Bath & Body Works I don't even think I have one dead set favorite! (Seriously buy this!) If you love fall you'll love this :)

What's your Favorite Candle?
Let me know It might get a review soon?

Burning Candles: My new Obsession <3

I love fall time. All the sweet smells and the trends it's my absolute favorite time of year! My favorite by far is the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin one which I got at Bath & Body Works. It's absolutely amazing and smells out of this world! The way they describe it on the candle is literally "Fall" in a candle like it really is made for fall. I don't like to purchase full price candles which is why I always wait for the 2 for $20 candles. It's so much more cheaper. So now onto the pictures!





As you can see I love this because I burn this thing like 24/7 haha.




They describe it as "A fall harvest favorite inspired by delicious treats found at the farmer's market- pumking pie, vanilla cream, and spice. Ahh.. absolutely AMAZING!



I suggest you realy go out and try this candle out but when there is a 2 for $20 because a regular candle this size is $20 alone!


Will you "burn" it? :)
