Early Spring Colourpop Haul!

Hi all! I hope everyone is well! I have been very good this year when it comes to purchasing makeup! This is my first haul of the year! I’m not really on a no or low buy, but I’m trying to be careful in what I get. I did purchase a lot last year! I have purchased the new L’Oreal foundation (let me know if you would like a review) and I just got the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry palette on sale and I will be reviewing that palette.

I decided to make a Colourpop order because they are always coming out with cool new products, and I wanted to try some. I also looked at my order history, and foudn that I hadn’t ordered from Colourpop since last June! That’s crazy! It’s definitely time to try some new makeup!

I purchased:

Blur Lux Lipstick in Hey Mr. DJ ($7 USD) – Soft petal pink

Lippie Pencil in Brink ($5 USD) – Terracota rose

It’s My Pleasure Palette ($12 USD)

The Twins Loose Pigment ($6 USD)

BFF Mascara in Black on Black ($8 USD)

Brow Boss in Ash Brown ($5 USD)

I have heard great things about the lip liner and have been wanting to try the Lux Lipstick. The Blur formula is new. I probably should have tried the regular formula first. Both of these products are nice, but the lipstick is way to bright for me. It’s supposed to be a soft petal pink, but It looks very bright on my fair skin. The pencil is nice, though I wish I got that in a lighter shade. It is not as bright as the lipstick, so I can still use it under nudes.

I have swatched these below.

This is a collaboration between Colourpop and YouTuber Kathleenlights. I picked up The Twins because I’m a Gemini! It is an intense pink with a coppery duochrome. This is really pretty. I apply it with a damp brush, so I don’t get all of the fall out. It’s so gorgeous, as you can see below:

Left to right is the lipstick, lipliner and pigment. You can really tell that the pigment has a pink to orange duochrome. It’s very pretty! I do like the liner, but I probably won’t wear the lipstick.

I also picked up their new mascara in black. It’s okay. It gives a lot of volume, but I like mascaras that give my lashes length. I will continue wearing it, and with a primer under it, I get better length. They also have these in bright colors, so if you love colorful mascara, you might want to check this out!

I’ve been doing more with my brows lately, so am happy to try a new pencil. This one is pretty nice. It’s very waxy, so if that’s the type of pencil’s you like, you will love it. I have used it a couple of times and like it. I think I need more practice with it, but will keep trying it out!

I love purple, and so I had to pick it up. Plus, it’s only $12, which is so affordable. I will be posting a review this month with swatches.

I also have purchased another one of these for a future Instagram giveaway. I just hit 4000 followers and will post my giveaway when I get to 5000. So check it out at @fortyflirtyfab on Instagram! I also picked up a pigment and one of the new lip glosses from Colourpop. I will be adding more makeup items to the giveaway, of course. Stay tuned!

Have you made any recent purchases from Colourpop? What did you get?

Shop My Stash — March 2019

Hi All! It’s time for my March Shop My Stash! I’m ready to dive into a different set of products I want to play with.

I’m so excited about all of these. Some are very new to me and some I purchased last year.

Here are closes-ups of each item:

This is the Dose of Colors Desi x Katy Friendcation Eyeshadow Palette. I purchase this on sale in December. It is usually $55, it was on sale for $27.50, plus I had a 20% coupon! It’s a nice palette, but I have to say I only purchased it because it got such great reviews. I have yet to review this on my blog, but I will this month. I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’ve only used it a couple of times, but the shimmery shades are sooooo glittery (not my fave). I am going to pair the mattes with the next palette.

I received this tarte Rainforest of the Sea ™ highlighting eyeshadow palette vol. III in my January BoxyCharm. I have to be honest, I’ve swatched this, but haven’t tried it yet. It’s all shimmers and one matte. These swatch really nicely, so I’m going to pair this with the Friendcation palette. I think it will look nice with the neutral mattes in the palette.

This is probably my oldest product in this Shop My Stash. I’ve had the Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator Palette for about a year and a half. I bought it at Ulta’s 21 Days of beauty. You can see that haul here. I don’t really use this. I think the shades are just a bit dark for me, but I’m going to give all three of them a good go this month. And if I don’t enjoy them, I’ll pass it on.

I haven’t really tried this Becca Glow Gloss in Malibu Soleil which is a mauvy rose. I got this in the BoxyCharm Charm Room last fall. This is a little darker than I usually wear, but I thought I would give it a shot!

I was a Julep Maven since 2012, until they shut down the subscription in February. That is so sad! So I thought I would pay homage to Julep by including one of their products this month. This is the Eyeshadow 101 in Champagne Shimmer. When apply it lasts all day! I swatched it below and I wiped all of the other swatches off, but it would not budge.

This is so nice on the inner corner of the eye or all over the lid.

Here are some swatches:

From Left to Right — The highlighers in Ballerina, Gilded Honey and Peach Glow. Next to them are the Becca Gloss and the Julep cream shadow.

So these are the products in my March Shop My Stash. I think they will be fun to play with this month!

Have you used any of these products? What do you think of them?

Shop My Stash February 2019 Results

Hi all! Happy March! I am excited for a new month. To wrap February up, I’m going to give my thoughts on how the latest Shop My Stash went. Each month I will usually add my empties to this post, but I only had one this month. So I will hold on to it and post it with my March empties.

I chose the five products above. You can read more about them and see close up photos here.

My goal in these is to use some of my products more frequently, and also decide if I need to keep them all or pass them along to someone who will get more use out of them than me. Of course some of these I knew I was going to keep (Modern Renaissance), but others I wasn’t sure about.

I think it was a fairly successful month. I haven’t been feeling well, so I didn’t wear makeup every day. But when I did, I tried to use at least one of these products.

Out of the three eye shadow palettes I chose, I used the Chocolate Bar and Modern Renaissance the most. I stated at the beginning of the month that I hadn’t yet reviewed the Chocolate Bar or Venus III yet on my blog, and that’s still true. I will try to review the Chocolate Bar this month. I think I may be passing Venus III on to someone else. The shadows aren’t very easy to work with and the shimmers are so glittery. It is pretty though, and I think my daughter will love it!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep the LORAC bronzer or the Wet n Wild highlighter, but I found that I love them both! The bronzer is really nice, especially while I’m still fair. If I get a (faux) tan this year, I can use another bronzer, but for now I’ve moved it with my every day makeup next to my beloved Butter Bronzer. It’s so good!

The highlighter is so gorgeous — it’s the perfect tone for my skin! It is a bit glittery, so I will use it for evenings and special occasions. But I do really love it, too!

I’ve chosen my five products for March and will hopefully have that up tomorrow. I’m excited to get started on giving some love to some different products!

Have you done a Shop My Stash? How did it go for you?

Urban Decay Street Style Brow Collection Review

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great week!

I have recently received brow products for my honest review from the new Urban Decay Street Style Brow Collection. I was so excited to get these, because I have wanted to try them. I love Urban Decay and I have been trying to get my brows on point.

This collection is gorgeous, I love the metallic purple and black packaging.

Here are the products I received:

BROW BLADE Ink Stain + Waterproof Pencil ($26 USD) –A double-ended ink stain and waterproof pencil that gives you microblade definition and precision without the commitment.

This is probably my favorite product of the collection. I have this in Dark Drapes, which is the perfect shade for me. I have almost black brow hair (my hair color is very dark brown). To use, I start with the waterproof pencil to shape, shade, and fill in, then I use the microblade ink stain to create hair-like strokes and add dimension.

I usually only use a pencil, then a clear brow gel over it. So this has taken some practice, and I’m still trying to perfect the technique. Both of the products are soft and can be built up. This is not a waterproof product and does wash off easily. So I like to use the brow finish (below) over it.

BROW ENDOWED Brow Primer + Color ($28 USD) — A double-ended tool that volumizes and sets brows in two easy steps: A primer fluffs and holds, while a tinted cream fills and shapes.

I have this product in Neutral Nana. Although it looks fairly light in the photo, it applies much darker. That works for me, since my brow hairs are so dark. I apply the primer for volume, then brush on the tinted brow cream to intensify brows. It makes my brows look very fluffy and bold. I’ve tried this alone, but do prefer to also use a brow pencil to define the brows. I do find that this is very long-lasting!

BROW FINISH Waterproof Brow Gel ($21 USD) A lightweight, waterproof brow gel that holds your look in place. It’s like brow magic—set it and forget it.

This is my second favorite product in the collection! It is a lightweight, waterproof brow gel. It claims to stay in place for 16 hours. I use this over the Brow Blade, which isn’t waterproof, so this seals my brows in! Plus, I really love the brush on this. It makes it quick and easy to apply. This is probably the best clear brow gel I’ve ever used!

Choose from two shades: Ozone goes on clear for everyday brows, while Midnight Cowboy adds shimmer for more drama. I have Ozone, it is a nice, clear gel.

DOUBLE DOWN BROW Waterproof, Smudge-Proof Brow Putty ($29 USD) — A buildable, waterproof putty duo for multi-dimensional brows that won’t budge.

This has a putty-to-powder formula, for smudge-proof brows that last up to 16 hours. Shape brows with the putty, then seal in long-lasting, customized color with the powder. The mini double-ended brush has an angled brush on one end and a mini spoolie for blending on the other.

This is in the shade Taupe Trap. It is way too light for me, so I haven’t tried it. I am going to pass it along to someone with lighter hair and brows. I think it looks very nice. I’m more of a pencil gal, but I’m sure this is easy to work with, too.

BROW GUIDE Brow Stencils ($12 USD) — A kit featuring eight sets of reusable adhesive stencils—the cheat sheet to your best brow.

Urban Decay partnered with Audrey Glass, Los Angeles’s top microblade artist, to create eight ultimate brow shapes for easily transforming arches. Correct and perfect with these brow stencils—apply the stencil (they gently stick to skin), then use your favorite products to fill in the shape.

Choose from a multi-style kit with four of UD’s favorite brow shapes (8 sets total: 2 of each shape) or a single-style kit with eight sets of the same shape. Each stencil is reusable up to 3-5 times.

I have the double tap. It’s really fun to use! It’s a little dramatic for every day, but fun for going out!

I really am enjoying using these products. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous! Plus the products are so nice to use. Again, my favorites are the Brow Blade and the Brow Finish, but I think the entire collection is worth checking out.

Have you tried any of Urban Decay’s new brow collection? What do you think?

Valentine’s Day Beauty Guide

Hey all! Ready for Valentine’s Day? I think I am! I have shopped for those special people in my life (including some beauty products, of course).

I though I would post some products that can either be nice gifts, or used in getting ready for V-Day– and beyond:

This would be a gorgeous gift to share with your bestie (or keep both for your self)! This is the beautyblender BBF kit ($40 USD). beautyblenders are such an amazing sponge, so this would be quite the treat!

Urban Decay On The Run Mini Palette in Shortcut ($25 USD) — This stunning eight-shade eyeshadow palette highlights blush-tone neutrals that play well with a rose hue and a chocolate matte. Get lost with a coppery pink transformer shade, which adds a little ice to any look. This palette will be perfect for romantic or sultry Valentine’s Day looks!

BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review — February 2019

Hi all! I received my February BoxyCharm today! I always watch for the spoilers so I basically knew what I am getting. But, I was surprised by a couple of these that I didn’t see spoilers for.

I’ve been subscribed to BoxyCharm for about a year and a half now and really enjoy it. Boxycharm is just $21 a month for 4-5 beauty items, most of them full-sized. It is a nice way to try new makeup and beauty tools.

This month I received:

The two products I didn’t see variation spoilers for are the GrandeLIPS lipstick and the TULA masks. Here are more info on the products I received:

I have been wanting to try this for a while. It is from a Korean beauty brand that I haven’t tried before (I have been loving Korean beauty lately). My pores need to be smoothed and covered, so I am all for this! And I love trying new primers!

I do not enjoy matte liquid lipsticks. They are so uncomfortable and settle in to my lines. But for some reason, I got this and put it right on my lips. It is a semi-matte and is a little drying. But then it starts to tingle, plumps up and my lips looks great! It does look better with a gloss over it. But I was pleasantly surprised!

This shade of highlighter is Glow Up a rose gold. It’s very pretty! This is a very glowy formula. I haven’t decided if the shade is too dark for me yet. I need to wear it out in the sun and see.

Here are swatches of the lippie and highlighter:

The lip color is almost a little light for me, but I wear gloss over it and can change the color a bit. The highlighter is a very pretty shade. I hope it works for me.

I have tried this mascara before. It’s pretty good (I don’t really remember if I liked it or not). I gave my last tube to my daughter. I think I’ll keep this one and try it out once I’m done with the mascaras I am using.

I received 2 packs of 2 masks, so 4 masks total! That’s not bad. These claim to hydrate and plump skin when it needs it most. The citrus extract in this mask will bring the look of luminosity and vibrance to dull, tired skin.

That sounds really nice, and I do want to try them. But I haven’t even used my Tatcha masks from last months box! (You can see my January box here).

So, I think this is my first BoxyCharm every that I am going to use all of the products! I will at least try them before passing them on. The product I’m most excited about is the primer. But I will at least try everything else. So this box is a win!

Do you get BoxyCharm? What did you get in your box this month?

Shop My Stash — February 2019

Hi all! It’s February! I’m so happy January is over. It was a long, cold month. The cold isn’t over, but hopefully will be soon.

It’s time for my second Shop My Stash. You can see the first one here and the results here. This month, I have chosen three eyeshadow palettes, one highlighter and one bronzer to focus on. Like last month, I will link if I have featured these or reviewed them on my blog. Here’s the products:

Here are close up photos of each product:

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette — I hauled this in September here. I still haven’t done a full review on it, but I will this month. I used it a lot when I first got it, but I haven’t used it since. It’s a neutral palette with a couple of pops of colour and I know I can get lots of pretty looks with it. Plus it smells like chocolate!

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette have really been loved! It’s a bit messy. Honestly, I chose this one because it’s a perfect palette for Valentine’s Day! This is so nice for neutral or pink/red looks. I got it about a year ago and reviewed it here.

This is my first and so far only Lime Crime purchase. It’s the Venus III Palette. I bought this in the same haul as the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. It was about half price and I really loved the shades. I still need to review this one and hope to do it this month, too.

This is the Wet n Wild Moon Tears loose highlighter. I got this around my birthday in June and hauled it here. I like it, but it’s pretty glittery. I choose it this month to see if I want to keep it. I do need to do a declutter of some of my makeup. I have some that is old or I just do use. So we will see how this goes! I have swatched this below.

I have had this LORAC bronzer in my drawer for a while. It’s been a bit over a year. I’ve read that powder makeup is good for about two years. So I maybe have about six more months with this or so. It’s a light bronzer, which I need because I have fair to light skin. I LOVE my butter bronzer, but I want to see if this is as good.

I have swatched the highlighter and bronzer:

The highlighter is so pretty in this swatch. The color is perfect for me, it’s just so glittery! I also think the bronzer is a pretty shade. It’s not too dark for me in winter.

I’m excited about this Shop My Stash. I have already used all of these this month and am looking forward to seeing what type of fun looks I can do!

Are you doing Shop my Stash this year, or have you done one in the past? Let me know how it turned out!

January 2019 Beauty Favorites

Hi All! I’m glad January is almost over. It has been a cold, snowy month and I am looking forward to warmer weather. Of course, we have to get through February, but it’s a short month. Easy peasy, right? LOL!

As I was getting ready to create this post, I realized that the last monthly favorites post I did was for October 2018! I skipped November because I was so busy with work and holiday posts, and I skipped December because I was working on my annual favorites. Excuses, excuses! I am going to try to do one each month in 2019.

My faves for January are:

Laneige Bright Dew Original Essence ($55 USD) — This concentrated essence contains antioxidant rich Vitamin C , to help brighten the skin’s overall complexion. The formula also contains Pro-vitamin B5 and Beta-glucan to hydrate and soothe the skin. It feels so nice on my skin. It sinks into my skin and makes it really soft. And it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I have been using this without a heavy cream at night (I’m too hot at night for heavy products) and my skin is still soft and glowy in the morning.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($25 USD) — I’m really enjoying this mask. It’s a very hydrating night treatment. I feel super dry lately, because of the cold air. Sometimes I even wear this in the morning! I use a lot at night and when I wake up, my lips are still a little dry, but they aren’t cracked or flaking. And they do look nice and plump, which I love!

Derma E Firming DMAE Eye Lift ($24.95 USD) — This multi-action eye cream claims too visibly lift, firm and tighten the delicate eye area while smoothing crow’s feet. I really do see a difference in the firmness around my eye. I apply it all around my eyelids and my top lid is so firm and has stopped drooping (I was started to get hooded eyelids)! And I find that it helps my crows feet.

Oxygenetix Acne Control Foundation ($76 USD) — This has a natural to soft matte finish, but doesn’t looking drying on my skin. It actually just looks like skin! Just flawless, healthy skin! I have been breaking out lately and I use this during breakouts. I do find it helps clear them up, but it also applies so smoothly over blemishes and helps conceal them so nicely! This foundation wears all day.

Dermablend Loose Setting Powder ($27 USD) — I won this in a giveaway last fall and have been loving it ever since. It sets my skin with a soft matte finish. It’s almost too matte for me, but I make sure I hydrate under my foundation and powder and I use highlight and spritz on a nice setting spray. Plus I use just enough to set my face, too much and it can look cakey.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter ($28 USD) — Oh no! It’s out of stock again. I purchased this in the beginning of December (I think). I bought it at Ulta with the Dose of Colors Friendcation palette. The palette was half off plus I had a 20% off my entire purchase coupon so I threw in this highlighter to get free shipping! It’s very nice. It’s a little dark on my skin tone, so it’s more glowy than blinding on me. But I like that look for every day. It doesn’t emphasize my texture, which is amazing for ladies of a certain age!

Ulta Full Coverage Liquid Concealer ($9 USD) — This lightweight, creamy and super blend-able formula offers full coverage, flawless matte finish. The ULTA Full Coverage Liquid concealer contains special ingredients known to promote healing, concealing imperfections, and evening skin tone. Our formula wears beautifully, doesn’t cake or crease and offers long lasting wear.

Tarte Maneater Voluptuous Mascara ($23 USD) — Dress your lashes like you style your hair with this lengthening, curling and volumizing mascara. With a soft-flex brush and lightweight triple-black formula, it lifts lashes at the root, styles and fans them out to create amped-up fluttery fullness with no flaking or clumping. The custom molded brush features hundreds of flexible bristles to curl and coat lashes with even, intense pigment for 23x more volume powered by lash-strengthening jojoba and carnauba wax.

It’s funny that I don’t have an eyeshadow palette in here. I have started Shop My Stash in January and I have two palettes I was using. You can read about that here and the conclusion here. I’m about to post my February Shop My Stash, and that will have three palettes! Stay tuned!

What were your favorites in January?

Shop My Stash January 2019 Results and Monthly Empties

Hi All! Can you believe January is almost over? I’m ready for spring, so I’m okay with it!

I started a monthly Shop My Stash this year. Here is the link to the post from the beginning of the month. I go over each product with photos. I also link if I have reviewed them in the past.

I really enjoyed this and tried to use all of these products at least a few times to see how much I like them. It’s fun to focus on products since I have so many (especially Eye shadows).

The products this month were Urban Decay Born to Run Palette, Tartiest Pro Glow Palette. Colourpop You Had Me At Hello Palette, Pretty Vulgar Blush in Hush Blush and two BUXOM Cosmetics PillowPout Creamy Plumping Lip Powder in Cuddle Me (Rose) and Cozy Up (Mauve Nude).

I probably used the Born to Run palette the most, confirming why it was my favorite palette last year (see my 2018 faves here). My challenge was to use other shades than the bronzes. And I did! I tried the blues, gray and purple shades. I’m not a fan of bright pink eyeshadow, but I think I used almost all of the shades. The quality is gorgeous!

I also loved the You Had Me At Hello Palette. It’s a plummy, reddish brown sort of palette with a bunch of beautiful metallic shades. I did a few varied looks with this.

The tarte contour palette and the Pretty Vulgar blush weren’t my favorites. I decided to choose them because I got them both in subscription boxes this year and I never really used them. The contour palette is a bit dark for me, both the contour and the highlighters. My skin is so fair right now that they really don’t show up. The blush is very powdery and so pigmented. It’s too bright for me. I think I am going to hold on to them and try them again in the summer. Or I might just give them away to my daughter!

Th Buxom PillowPouts are really nice. They are creamy, but are matte when applied. I like to wear lip glosses over them. I’ll continue using them!

I also am going to include any empties in this post each month:

This month I only had three — The Robin McGraw Revelation Live Life Lifted Neck Cream, Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair Leave in Mask, and Philosophy Purity Made Simple Eye Gel. I’ve been using the skincare since early fall and I got the Briogeo in a subscription box a few months ago. I use neck cream morning and night (and eye cream, too). This neck cream really firmed up my neck area, and the eye cream was super hydrating. I definitely recommend them both. I like the hair mask, but I just got the Briogeo Rosarco one and I like that one a bit better. If you over use this one, hair gets greasy.

So I have chosen my Shop My Stash products for February and will be revealing those soon. I’m enjoying this series so far! Stay tuned!

Ipsy Glam Bag Subsription Box Review – January 2019

Hi all! I hope you’re doing well and having a great weekend! I signed up for Ipsy again at the beginning of January and was told my subscription would start with the February bag, but I also went on the waiting list for Glam Bag Plus (I’m going to try it again). I got off of that waiting list and will now be charged and receive February’s Glam Bag Plus, so they just sent me a January Glam Bag!

Ipsy Glam Bag is only $10 a month (Glam Bag Plus is $25) It’s deluxe samples and some full sized products. You can sign up for these at ipsy.com.

Here’s what I got:

YENSA PUMPKIN TURMERIC 2-in-1 Radiance Polishing Mask

LUXIE BEAUTY 1010 Small Contour Brush

KASCA Nail Polish in Velvet Black Matte

FLUIDE Lip Gloss in Elsewhere

CIATÉ LONDON Wonderwand Mascara in Black Magic

This is an okay bag. I think since they packed it last minute, I got the strange leftovers. My favorite items is the Luxie Brush. It’s really soft and blends contour nicely. I haven’t tried the Ciate mascara yet, because I want to save it for later or if I travel this year. I will also try the Yensa mask. I did try the Fluide lip gloss and it is very shiny and minty. I don’t know how often I use it. I will give the black nail polish to one of my daughters.

I am excited to get my Glam Bag Plus in February. I will be posting a review once I do!

Do you get Ipsy Glam Bag or Glam Bag Plus? What did you get in your January Bag?
