That packaging though!!!!! Sorry, I had a moment. We got a sneak peek of Kat Von D's Lock-It Blotting Powder what seems like forever ago, but they are finally available! There are 4 shades - Fair, Light, Medium, and Deep. I picked up Light, but realized it doesn't much matter because it goes on translucent anyway. The compact looks like a wax seal with the KVD emblem on it, and I love that! It also has a mirror on the inside of the lid.
The little powder puff that comes with it also has the KVD emblem on the back.
It's kind of pointless to include a swatch of this, because you won't be able to see anything! However, here it is in the pan. The Fair shade looked completely stark white, which is why I chose to go with light instead.
Now, I can't even begin to describe how smooth this powder is. I was a little put off that the first ingredient is talc, because I know a lot of people absolutely despise when companies put that into cosmetics. But, the first time I tried this I was blown away. I purposely waited until I was pretty shiny and used the powder puff to tap some onto my forehead. It instantly mattified my skin without looking like I just added powder to my face.
I have tried a lot of blotting powders in the past. My favorite was always the Urban Decay De-Slick, but even that one does not work as good for me as this one does. I love that it only takes a tiny bit of product to mattify any oils, because I've always felt icky adding a bunch of powder on top of oily skin throughout the day. At least with this one, you only need the tiniest bit! It also keeps me matte for hours, which is a huge plus with summer time coming. I will definitely put it to the test once we start getting some hotter weather!
The blotting powders are available now at Sephora and Kat Von D Beauty!

I was sent some products from Amazing Cosmetics to try out and review for you guys! I've been using these for about a week so I have a pretty good feel for them and how they work for me. Let's get into it!
First we have their Anti Aging Face Primer. This comes in 2 sizes - 15mL and 30mL. You only need a small amount for your whole face - a little goes a long way!
It is a clear gel that sort of has that silicone feel to it when you first put it on, but it absorbs into the skin so quickly that it feels like nothing! It is oil free and leaves the skin feeling hydrated, not greasy. I have tried a lot of primers that I just can't use because they make my already oily skin feel even oilier. I've got to say, this does a REALLY good job of keeping oil at bay, and it makes my makeup look fresh all day long!
This also comes in 2 sizes, 15 mL and 6 mL. This is a squeeze tube package, which makes it very sanitary as you can just squeeze some onto your hand and aren't dipping and re-dipping into the package. It is a thinner formula as far as concealers go, but the coverage is amazing!
Using it with a Beauty Blender gives a flawless look. I haven't had any issues with it creasing under my eyes, which is always my number one issue with thinner formula concealers like this. So far, so good! I've just been setting it with a loose powder and I'm good to go!
Last but not least we have the Amazing Concealer Illuminate. Again, this is the shade Ivory.
This packaging is a plastic tube with a wand/doe foot applicator:
It goes on smoothly and is a thin formula like the tube concealer. This one has "light reflecting pigments" in it that at first made it look a bit sparkly to me, but the more I wear it, the more I like it. It's definitely a great under-eye concealer.
Here it is blended out on my wrist (you can see my vein at the bottom of the pic) Ignore the fact that I didn't wait till it was dry to snap the photo! It is definitely a multi-tasker because it has great coverage AND brightens!
All in all, I really like all 3 of these products. I had never tried anything from the brand before so I was super excited when they reached out to me. I'm always psyched about trying things from brands I've never tried before! Definitely check them out, their stuff is great!

Jeffree Star released some new Skin Frosts recently with his holiday collection, so I HAD to pick up Princess Cut! It's a super pale pink and compared to most of the other shades in his line, it's very subtle.

Sorry I'm so late reviewing this! This was one of those products that I just had to buy for the coolness factor. It's the Pearly Matte Face Powder from Mac in "Trophy," and it is just about the coolest powder I've ever seen!

I haven't bought this much from a Mac collection in a long, long time but I LOVE trolls! I still have all of mine from when I was a kid. As a matter of fact, I should have dug them out to photograph them with these products, but I didn't think of that until I sat down to write this post!

I picked this up the last time I went to Ulta because it looked like a great dupe for a cream highlighter that I used to love from Urban Decay. Coincidentally, ColourPop's Monster highlighter is pretty similar! This is around $9 at Ulta, depending on if there's a sale or not.

So many companies are hopping on the strobing bandwagon, and Hard Candy is no exception. I recently spotted these mix-in drops and had to try them out.

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!

I was so torn on whether or not to get the Gwen blush palette. I reeeeally don't like the eyeshadow palette all that much. However, I am happy to report that this palette is very nice and will be getting a lot of love from me!

NYX Ombre Blushes in Mauve Me, Soft Flush, and Code Breaker
I had to, HAD TO grab some of these new NYX ombre blushes. When I saw teaser picture several weeks ago I got really excited, because I am just in love with ombre blushes. I love the Hard Candy ones, but there's only 2 colors in that line and they're both very shimmery, so these were heavenly to see!

Kat Von D Shade + Light Blushes in Sid + Nancy and Morticia + Gomez
I picked up two of the new Shade + Light Blushes from Kat Von D in Morticia + Gomez and Sid + Nancy. The shades in this range are gorgeous and I will probably eventually have to get most of them! For now I wanted to go with a light shade and a dark shade to test the pigmentation and see how each one fared, so let's see what I think about them!

A week or so before Christmas I had gone to Ulta for a few last minute gifts, and my son actually picked one of these blushes up and started looking at it. I had never even seen these before (where have I been?!) If you have followed me for a while, you know my obsession with ombre blushes. Bot Wet n Wild and NYX have ombre blushes coming out for spring, and I am insanely excited. I have aldo been into darker blush shades lately, which is why I picked this one up in Sugar Plum. They only had one other shade, which was a coral and very close to Ocean City blush that came out with MAC's Proenza Schouler collection, so I didn't grab that one.
