Benefit Cheek Parade Palette

Meg Monday, June 05, 2017 benefit , blush , bronzer , makeup , palette , review , swatch , swatches 1 comment :

The Benefit Cheek Parade Palette has it all! It's full of blushes and bronzers and has something for everyone. Plus with the deal - $58 for 5 full size products - can't go wrong there!

There's a good sized mirror on the inside, and it even comes with a cute little brush!

Inside you get full sizes of Hoola, GALifornia, Rockateur, Hoola Lite, and Dandelion. I myself have never had a Benefit cheek product (I know, what's wrong with me, right?) so I knew I couldn't pass up the chance to try all of these!

Hoola is a matte bronzer that's a tad dark for me - but used lightly and blended out well it is definitely workable.

GALifornia is Benefit's newest blush, and it is a beauty! I only wish the gold wasn't an overspray, because it really makes the color. It is still a gorgeous pinky coral blush on its own. It has more of a creamy texture to it.

I am so glad Rockateur was included in this palette, because I had been wanting this blush for a while and for whatever reason, always put off buying it. It's a rose gold and again, the shimmer in this seems to just be an overspray. It's got the same creamy texture as GALifornia.

Hoola Lite is a PERFECT bronzer for very light skin! I like this one a lot! It's totally matte and a few shades lighter than the original Hoola, so it definitely works well for me.

Dandelion is described as a "brightening finishing powder," but it's a beautiful neutral pink blush to me!

I have been using this palette a TON since I got it, and can't recommend it enough! The shades are so pretty and the deal just can't be beat. I got mine at Ulta!

Too Faced Sweet Peach Glow Palette

Meg Monday, January 30, 2017 blush , bronzer , highlight , highlighter , makeup , palette , review , swatch , swatches , Sweet Peach , Too Faced No comments :

The Sweet Peach Glow palette from Too Faced features a peach toned highlighter, blush, and bronzer infused with that awesome peach scent! I know some people don't love it, but the scent to me is amazing - it's like a sweet gummy peach candy!

The palette itself is metal and it's pretty sturdy. It has the little peach mascot on the inside as well as a mirror. The highlighter and bronzer have an all-over peach print, while the blush has one big peach on it that says "Peach Glow."

The highlighter is very pale and sheer. It's more iridescent than anything, so it gives that hint of a glow wherever you put it. It is a pretty shade, but I find myself having to build it and build it to even get it to show up on my skin.

The blush is more of a warm, orangey peach than the single blush that came out in the collection. It does have some shimmer to it, but just enough to give you a glow. It doesn't really go overboard. It's quite pretty, but just like with the highlighter, I have to build it to get it to show up.

Then we have the bronzer, which I think is pretty similar to their chocolate soleil one in color and performance. It is very light and slightly shimmery, which I don't really love in a bronzer. I also like more taupey shades for bronzer, this one is far too orangey for me personally.

I think the appeal of this palette was definitely the "peach" collection as a whole. Everything is so cute and it all smells so good, I got suckered in! This is not a must buy in my opinion, by any means. It's cute, it smells nice, but there isn't much color payoff in any of the 3 shades, and I will never find myself using the bronzer unless I use it as an eyeshadow because it's just too orange on me.

You can find the palette (and the rest of the Sweet Peach Collection) at Ulta, Sephora, and TooFaced.com

I had wanted the Contour Palette from LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs for quite some time, and a while ago before Valentine's Day, they had a 30% off sale. I finally snatched it, and it has taken me a bit to finally get this review up, so I apologize for that!

Rue 21 Truly Yours Face Palette

Another Rue 21 find! This isn't necessarily a dupe, but it reminds me a lot of the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palettes. My blush looks weird because it arrived smashed and I re-pressed it (Rue 21 is horrible about shipping makeup - it's always broken when it comes lol)

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light

Meg Friday, May 15, 2015 bronzer , face , Hourglass , makeup , powder , review , swatch , swatches No comments :

I am a huge fan of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders and the Ambient Lighting Blushes, so when I heard they were coming out with bronzers, I had to try one. There are only 2 shades - this one, which is Luminous Bronze Light, and Radiant Bronze Light which is slightly darker. I actually got this when I was on vacation in Florida, because I saw that Sephora had them and had to swatch them to see which one I liked better!

Real Techniques Sculpting Brush

Meg Saturday, February 21, 2015 bronzer , brush , brushes , contour , face , real techniques , review No comments :

This brush is a new favorite of mine, the Sculpting Brush by Real Techniques! I feel like if this were the "shade" end of the Kat Von D Shade & light brush, that brush would be the #1 perfect highlight/contour brush. This is the perfect shape, perfect density, perfect everything for applying and blending out a contour!

Kat Von D Shade + Light Face Brush

The Kat Von D Shade + Light double ended brush was made to go with the Shade + Light Contour Palette. This is an angled contour brush on one end, and a pointed highlighting brush on the other. The packaging is crazy, and the brush is nice and soft. Let's get into it!

NARS Virtual Domination Cheek Palette

Meg Wednesday, December 17, 2014 blush , bronzer , face , highlight , highlighter , makeup , NARS , palette , review , swatch , swatches No comments :

This thing haunted me, you guys. You have no idea how many times I went back and forth between, "I'm going to get this," and, "I don't need this." When the Sephora V.I.B. sale came around, I finally bit the bullet and just ordered it. I have the Guy Bourdin palette from last year and love it, so I figured I would add another cheek palette to my collection. The big seller for me with this one was that it had blushes from the Final Cut collection that I had really wanted but never picked up. Even though it's got Laguna which seems to be in every face palette that NARS puts out, it was still a pretty good deal for me.

Urban Decay Naked On The Run?

Meg Saturday, November 08, 2014 beauty news , blush , bronzer , eyeshadow , highlight , highlighter , lip gloss , mascara , palette , urban decay No comments :

This little beauty looks pretty awesome. Price is $54 and no details on the release date yet, but you can sign up to be notified when it is available at The Violet Underground! Not so sure this is something you need if you have the Naked palettes and Flushed palettes, but it looks like a pretty cool travel palette. It looks like shades that are already available, but I could be wrong.

Hard Candy Contouring Face Trio in 3X A Lady

Meg Wednesday, September 10, 2014 blush , bronzer , face , Hard Candy , highlight , highlighter , makeup , review , swatch , swatches No comments :

I've been lusting after the new Hard Candy Contouring Face Trios for a while. I held off on trying one for two reasons. 1, my Walmart, as I've mentioned before, takes forever to get the new Hard Candy items in. 2, I'm cheap when it comes to online shipping, and if I cannot find a free shipping code or some sort of discount code, I usually won't order lol. Because Walmart never seems to have free shipping codes unless you spend $50 or more, I was out of luck until my store FINALLY got them in.

e.l.f. Ariel Bronzed Beauty Set

Meg Sunday, July 06, 2014 Ariel , bronzer , collection , Disney , e.l.f. , eyes lips face , makeup , review , swatch , swatches No comments :

I don't always like e.l.f. products - they are very, VERY hit or miss for me. But, I am a sucker for anything Ariel, so when I saw that they had another Disney collection and this time it was JUST Ariel, I couldn't resist. The great part is that the collection (most of it anyway) is available on Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com, which made it a heck of a lot easier than going on a wild goose chase like with most of these limited edition things that come out!

I am head over heels for this bronzer. Yes, it is a permanent color in MACs' line, but for one, I have never tried one of their bronzers before, and secondly, the packaging is just to die for.

Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette in Native & Comparison to the Original Naked Flushed Palette

When I first saw that there was a new Naked Flushed palette, I knew I had to get it. The original one is one of my favorite products that I reach for quite often. I will compare the two so that you can see the differences in them. There is supposed to be another one coming out soon as well that looks to be more peach-toned! But until then, let's take a look at Native...

NYX Radiant Finishing Powder in Sunkissed

Of all the new products that NYX recently released, their Radiant Finishing Powder in Sunkissed is the one thing I was drooling over. As a matter of fact, it's the reason I made a NYX order in the first place. I don't know what it is with me but lately I have been loving these 3-in-1 bronzer/blush/highlighter products. And depending on what colors you dip more into, this can be used as all 3 of those products. Let's take a look...

LORAC TANtalizer Highlighter and Matte Bronzer Duo

I've been having a love affair with LORAC products lately. I recently tried some of their shadows (which will be reviewed on here soon) and just lovelovelove them. I picked this bronzer/highlighter duo up from Ulta because it was only $12. When I ordered it I thought it was a mini size or something, but nope. Part of Ulta's crazy LORAC deals, I guess!

It Cosmetics Live, Love, Laugh Vitality Face Disc

Meg Saturday, August 17, 2013 blush , bronzer , face , highlight , highlighter , It Cosmetics , makeup , review , swatch , swatches 2 comments :

*This product was sent to me for review, all opinions are my own.

Today I'm going to review the It Cosmetics Face Disc - I have had this for several weeks now and wish I could have reviewed it sooner, but what with moving and all, I was pretty busy! It just gave me more time to use and enjoy it. I think it's a pretty amazing product and I'm about to tell you why.

First of all, it's giant. It is the biggest compact I have and that's not a bad thing! It's still thin and flat, but you get a load of product inside. And what is the product? Well, technically there's 3 - you have a bronzer, highlighter and blush all in one! This makes it super convenient, I always love seeing products like that. Makes it less time consuming having to look for a separate blush, brozer, and highlighter when you're doing your makeup for the day.

Here's a better view. The bronzer is a perfect shade for my skintone - I'm pretty pale so I have a lot of problems with bronzers being too dark for me and making my face just look dirty. This one is perfect. The highlighter is a gorgeous champagne color that gives a perfect glow anywhere you apply it. And the blush is just about one of the prettiest shades I own - it's a corally peach with gold shimmer, but the shimmer is just the right amount. I have had a lot of blushes that over-do it on the shimmer but I would say even for those that shy away from shimmery blushes, that you will probably love this one.

See how pretty they are? In love!!! Now for some even cooler info: they have added benefits for your skin! They contain hydrolyzed collagen, vitamins A, C, & E, grapeseed, green tea, silk and aloe. The bronzer is infused with anti-aging peptides and hyaluronic-filling spheres. They are hypoallergenic and won't clog pores. In a nut shell? Using all 3 together makes your skin look damn near perfect!

Get this: they are also waterproof/sweatproof! That has been perfect for me on these hot summer days, I can attest to the fact that they are indeed sweatproof!

I've found that even when I'm in a rush an not using any foundation for the day, my face still looks great if I use these. When I use them on top of my foundation, it's the best my skin has ever looked. A lot of the time it'll look flat if I don't use blush or anything, so I've been making it a point to use blush/contour lately. And with these 3 products all being in one place, it makes it that much easier. I absolutely recommend this 100%!

You can purchase this from It Cosmetics. Also check them out at QVC, Skin Store, Beauty.com, and internationally at The Shopping Channel

July Starbox

Meg Tuesday, August 06, 2013 bronzer , brush , eyeshadow , makeup , palette , review , starbox , starlooks , swatch , swatches No comments :

I've been meaning to get this review up for a couple weeks now, but moving got in the way of everything and I couldn't get it done when I wanted to. So here it is now, the July Starbox review.

This box had a very neutral/summer feel to it.

The first thing I saw that I was really excited for was another one of their brushes. This is the "Sculpt & Blush Brush." It retails for $22. It is a super soft, angled face brush that is much like my favorite blush brush I've been using lately. This is wonderful for contouring and blush, and even for dusting on a highlight!

The next thing is the St. Tropez Eyeshadow Palette. This retails for $41. A couple of the shades look very similar to the ones in the quad I got in my first ever Starbox.

There is a champagne, a gold, a peach and a brown that all are shimmery, as well as a matte black. The shimmers are pretty pigmented but the black is just okay. I find that a lot of their mattes tend to be like that - they apply patchy or not very pigmented, while their shimmer shades are excellent.

Last but not least we have the ultimate Body Bronze set. This is a half size set, the full size retails for $24. It comes with a body bronzing pigment called "Pennywise" and a packet of Quince body butter with Chamomile and Lavender.

The bronzer itself is a pretty color that I will probably get more use out of as a face bronzer than a body one. It says you are supposed to mix the pigment with the body butter and use it on your legs, which I don't see myself doing very often. To be honest the body butter doesn't smell all that great which is a bummer because it is really thick and moisturizing.

Here is a swatch of the pigment by itself.

Hope you guys enjoyed! You can check out my first impressions video here:
