It’s definitely Spring in Kansas City. It is going to be almost 80 degrees today. Crazy! I am now enjoying wearing softer makeup.
This week, I am loving a gorgeous highlighting palette and soft matte liquid lipstick, a natural makeup set, and high-pigmented lipsticks:
Pop Beauty Pow Wow Powder ($24 USD) — Take a page from beauty school with these fanciful books. Each palette contains 4 complementary shades to mix and match for a seamless burst of colour. Silky-smooth, mineral formula.Paraben free. Not tested on animals. Available in 3 palettes, Strobin’ Glow, Rockin’ Rouge and Beachin’ Bronze.
Pop Beauty Permanent Pout ($14 USD each) — Get pouty with this full-coverage lip paint’s velvet, matte finish. Extremely long-wearing and kiss-proof, these lip colours are 6 shades of audacious! Lasts all-day & all-night. Paraben free. Not tested on animals.
What I think: I have the Pow Wow Powder in Strobin’ Glow. I love that their are 4 highlighters in the palette to play with. It gives a fresh, pretty look or you can strobe a lot and have a very glowy nighttime look!
The Permanent Pout lip paint is really pretty on and is very long lasting. I have a soft neutral called Pink Honey. It matches my skin tone well, but is a bit drying. That may just be on me. I know a lot of people love matte lip colors and don’t mind the dry-down. I’ll keep this for days that I want to try a bold look, but in a soft color!

PÜR cosmetics Freedom Collection ($39 USD) — This four-piece limited edition collection of nude essentials includes:
- Your shade of Air Perfection – a compact cushion foundation perfect for lightweight, long-lasting coverage with effortless application
- Double Ego Eyeliner in Tasmania– a 2-in-1 dual-ended chocolate eyeliner ideal for creating your favorite looks from sultry smoky eye to a well-defined cat eye
- Lip Gloss Stick in Berry Pretty– a glossy finish to a nude lip for high-shine lips to lust over
- Mini Volume Vixen Mascara– a powerhouse of nourishing hydration for a visibly thicker, fuller lashes from root to tip.
What I think: This kit is an amazing value for what you get! I received the Air Perfection cushion foundation in Light. It covers so well and is easy to apply. I dip my foundation brush into the compact and smooth on my skin.
The eyeliner is a pretty rich brown. One end is a pencil and the other is a marker. I like using the marker on my top lid and the softer pencil to define my bottom lid. The mascara really makes the eyes pop, too. It’s a great volumizing mascara.
I like the lip gloss stick a lot. It feels really moisturizing on. But the color is a little red for me.
