LORAC- PRO Matte Palette



Lorac's PRO Matte Palette retails for U.S. $28.00 on Ulta Beauty's website, they also mention how  this is a $45.00 value somehow... (all matte shadows) These shades can be applied wet or dry. (Swatches [left to right] Bare, Latte, Corduroy, Chocolate, Linen, Pink Mauve, Burgundy and Jet Black. These eyeshadows are high pigmented, easy to blend and so buttery! I honestly believe this palette is better value than the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette that only comes with 5 matte shadows where here you get 8! This is a great palette if you only like matte looks or else it can get pretty boring because of the shade range. You can make a quick easy look to a dramatic smoky eye. (These eyeshadows do kick up powder.) This isn't a must have in my opinion if you have tons of eyeshadow palettes but it's a nice one and very practical/versatile. 8/10 would recommend, this palette is practical to use when you just want to throw on some color!

CATRICE- Professional Contouring Palette


Only available at Ulta Beauty, Catrice's Prime and Fine Professional Conoturing Palette retails for U.S. $7.99, shown above is the palette in Warm Harmony theres another contour palette available in shade Ashy Radiance (this one is meant for light skin tones and the one shown above for tan to medium skin tones). On Ulta Beauty's website it says, "Contour Like a Pro! The Catrice Prime & Fine Professional Contouring Palette pairs a light highlighting shade with a darker contouring shade together for contouring every face shape. Both powders are matte and blend easily for a contoured, yet natural look. Paraben free. Not tested on animals." This contouring palette has a prefect cool undertone for contouring, so easy to apply also has great pigmentation as well. The highlighting shade on the left is not necessarily a highlighting shade for the cheekbones or a powder for the under eyes (yellow powder highlights your features) do not use it for setting your under eyes because it'll be a shimmery mess... Use it to wipe away your bake. If you use it as a highlight it'll look chalky. Overall this is a great conturing palette for the price, great for daily use and blends effortlessly. 9/10 would recommend.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- Glow Kit: That Glow


Anastasia Beverly Hill's first launch of the glow kits included the glow kit in That Glow that retails for U.S. $40.00. These Glow Kits are four metallic powder highlighters for intense luminosity. Left to right are Sunburst (a bright, luminous gold with a metallic finish), Golden Bronze (a sultry, warm bronze with a gold-flecked finish), Bubbly (a champagne rose with a pearlescent finish) and Dripping In Gold (a lavish gold with a vivd reflective finish). Each highlighting powder has 7.4 g of product where on my other blog post of these glow kits, this is such a good deal for what you're getting! Tip- when you apply your highlighter apply a lighter highlighter shade on the very top of the cheekbone for a more elevated look (example- apply Dripping In Gold on cheekbones then Sunburst on the very top). You can use these highlights as eyeshadows as well! Now compared to other launched Glow Kits by Anastasia Beverly Hills this is the one with less intensity, you really won't get that glow glow glow look with these powders just a settle one... That can be a good thing if you like settle highlighters, these just melt into your skin! I recommend the Glow Kit in SunDipped if you really want an intense highlight but these are nice shades as highlighters just not intense for me. 10/10 would recommend if you like a lit within glow (settle) but 5/10 would recommend if you love an intense highlight. (You can use a setting spray to intensify it as well.)

DOSE OF COLORS- Hidden Treasures Eyeshadow Palette


Dose Of Color's limited edition Hidden Treasures eyeshadow palette retailed for U.S. $50.00, this palette is no longer available except eBay or Amazon, (if you have this palette and don't use it, pull it out because you're missing out on a lot!) the reason why I'm mentioning this on my blog because its so beautiful and one of the best palettes that ever launched!!! The eyeshadows are so so so nice and smooth and blend effortlessly on the eyelid and so pigmented, the metallic shades are so foiled its crazy. This palette does now retail for $100 on eBay and sites like that, but even if it was that price I would've still bought it, such a good palette, so many eye looks you can create. (swatches) Left to right are Pearl (satin), Crown (metallic), Gemstone (metallic), Locket (matte), Onyx (matte), Diamond (metallic), Coin (metallic),  Key(matte), Ruby (metallic) and Map (matte). I didn't know this was limited edition even though there still some still left on eBay: I highly recommend these (10/10) best eyeshadows ever!

NYC- Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder


NYC's Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in the shade Sunny retails for U.S. $3.62 on Target's website. In this bronzer you receive 0.33 oz/9.4 g of product which is so much for such a low price, this bronzer is buttery, smooth and so pigmented when you bronze up the face (such a great drugstore bronzer). (NYC repackaged this bronzer so it might look different in store than here.) You can wear this bronzer on your face with or without makeup on, you still get a soft finish! I recommend this bronzer to fair to tan skin tones because it really won't show up on deeper skin tones which sucks because this is the only shade this bronzer features in stores, you can find this anywhere! It has a warm brownish undertone, great for enhancing your cheekbones! 10/10 would recommend!

CLINIQUE- Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer


Clinique's Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer retails for U.S. $27.00, for a full 1 oz of product! Above is the shade in 11 Honey (this is my winter shade when I'm a bit pale). On Sephora's website it states how this is a oil-free foundation + concealer in one that achieves a flawless look that lasts all day. It can be used as a foundation and concealer (all in one, I just recommend to use it as only as a foundation). Also says, "This lightweight, moisturizing foundation and concealer provides full coverage without clogging pores. This 12-hour wear, breathable formula is ideal for very dry to combination oily skin types, its special polymer formula forms a flexible film that moves with the skin for lasting wear, and it dries slowly for easy blending." This foundation is really nice when applied, and so affordable for a higher end brand, worth every penny! There are various shade ranges with different undertones to find the perfect shade for you! The applicator is a huge doe foot applicator, easy to apply on the skin. This product is ophthalmologist tested, allergy tested, and 100 percent fragrance free.It's so comfortable to wear, great coverage and doesn't give you a cakey finish (can be if applied too much and not evenly blended or on dry skin), it looks like skin (natural finish)! This foundation is best blended out with a beauty blender to bounce back moisture into your skin, 9/10 would recommend!

These liquid lipsticks have a long wear, opaque just with one swipe and have a matte finish, they're formulated without parabens.

The formula is semi whipped unlike the ABHs' which is fully whipped. These don't budge what so ever, 10/10 I highly recommend these!

These shades are so easy to blend, pigmented and the shadows don't budge what so ever. You can create an easy soft look to a bold smoky look. I believe this one of the best palettes Tarte has created so far, if you are beginner when it comes to applying or experimenting with eyeshadows this palette is for you! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

BECCA- Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation


Becca's most luminous foundation retails for U.S. $44.00 for 1 oz of product, this foundation is a "flexible liquid" it's recommended for normal, normal to dry, and very dry skin types however if you're combination to oily on Sephora's website it's recommended that you use this foundation with Becca's Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector, or finish with a finishing powder. This foundation is best applied with a brush and not a sponge but I use a sponge (beauty blender) to bounce back moisture into my skin. Make sure to sake this foundation very well or it'll appear funky, it's formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates. This foundation is really light but really really really luminous so make sure to use a tiny amount but this foundation is buildable, a radiant finish as an end result. This foundation doesn't come with a pump instead its replaced with a dropper which is a nice touch to the forested glass bottle. Shown above is the shade Medium, Becca offers a couple of different shade ranges for this product, 10/10 would recommend, its so beautiful.

COTY AIRSPUN- Translucent Face Powder


Coty Airspun's Loose Face Powder in Translucent retails for U.S. $5.97 on Walmart's website. Note: this product does come with a sifter for the powder, I just removed mine for easier access. On Walmart's website it states, "Powder lying evenly And flat on your skin, long lasting, dermatologically tested, air for cloud like softness." In my opinion this powder is awesome for setting your under eye and baking, but the scent is overwhelming so if that bothers you this product is so not for you. This product contains 65g of product, which is so much product for such a low price compared to the Laura Mercier translucent powder which retails for $38.00 for only 29g worth of product. This product does have a white undertone even though it translucent (every setting powder does) which may bother people but if you want a highlighted under eye try getting the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in a different peachy shade which they do sell (this powder comes in various shades). I give this product a 8/10 instead of 10 because of the heavy scent. Go buy it if you're on a budget, it's really good!

NYX- Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks


NYX Cosmetic's Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks are one of the best liquid lipsticks available in the drugstore! They retail for U.S. $6.99 each, these products are also available at Ulta Beauty. They contain 0.13 oz worth of product, shown above is Ruffle Trim and Exotic (favorite shade ever on every skin tone!) (swatches are the opposite colors). On Ulta's website it states, "Slip into something seductive with NYX Cosmetics' Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick, a weightless liquid lipstick with a plush matte finish. Available in a range of color-kissed nudes, each sultry shade will coat the curves of your lips with irresistibly creamy color." These Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks offer gorgeous pale to deep nudes and are a total dupe formula wise for the Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint which retail for $20.00, its a whipped formula. These liquid lipsticks last 6-8 hours on the lips. I would highly recommend this (10/10) it wears beautifully but some people did complain about this product because they've received a bad batch so it could be a hit or miss. Overall, this is so worth it.

WET N WILD- MegaGlo Contouring Palette


Wet N Wild's MegaGlo Contouring Palette retails for U.S. $4.99, they're in available in 2 shades, Caramel Toffee (shown above) and Dulce De Leche. Caramel Toffee is a warm contouring palette and Dulce De Leche is a cool tone contouring palette (I recommend this one because when you want to contour you want to work with a grey undertone shade) I use the one on the right for bronzing purposes. These were released way back when but now came back with a new formula! Carmel Toffee can be a total dupe for Marc Jacobs Beauty Light Filtering Contour Powder in the shade light gold/ light bronze that sells for $49.00. This MegaGlo Contouring Palette from Wet N Wild is cruelty free and contains 0.44 oz/12.5 g of product which great. I use the banana shade to highlight my under eyes, be aware that when you dip your brush into the powders it does kick up a lot of product, this product is highly pigmented, blendable and soft to the touch. I give this product a 9/10 only because this product does kick up powder other than that these powders work amazingly and great if you're on a budget! You can find these on Wet n Wild's website or any drugstore near you.

This palette does come with a double-ended eyeshadow brush (works amazingly). These shades are easily to blend but does kick up powder when you dip your brushes into them other than that these eyeshadows are pigmented and so worth the money because and individual eyeshadow from ABH it will cost you $12.00 for 0.059 oz of product. I give this product a 10/10, if you love warm eye looks this palette is for you!

The light powders (top row) is meant highlight and to bring your faces' appearance forward and the shades (bottom row) are to contour and enhance your bone structure and bring your appearance back. Kat Von D has her own website where she sells her cosmetics but other than that her line is exclusive to Sephora. On Sephora's website it says how this Shade + Light Contour Palatte are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates. Kat Von D's line is vegan as well. Honestly, this is my favorite contour palette ever! Each shades are so soft and pigmented so be careful when dipping your brush into the powders, you just need the slightest amounts. I mix the bottom two shades Sombre and Shadowplay as a contour shade for me but if I want a really chiseled appearance I go ahead and mix in the shade Subconscious. I use the top middle light shade to highlight my face where I applied my concealer. 10/10 would recommend, this palette is like butter, its amazing and universal!

Left to right are the Infallible Eyeshadows in Iced Latte, Amber Rush, Bronzed Taupe and Eternal Sunshine (this shade could be a dupe for Half Baked from the Urban Decay Naked palatte), there are many more eyeshadows in this line! Even though it's kinda pricey for a single shade from the drugstore its so worth the price! These shadows are so pigmented you wouldn't believe it and it stays on the eyelid for a such a long time, they're velvety to the touch and easy to blend out. Even on Ulta's website it states, "Infallible Eyeshadows provides sweatproof, waterproof, crease resistant wear with velvet- soft texture that blends easily, providing luminous color with a smooth, even finish." I 100% agree with this claim, these L'oréal Infallible Eyeshadows are even better than some high end eyeshadows themselves! 10/10 I would obviously recommend, this is a must add on to your collection!

Complementing shades can be layered together to brighten cheekbones and décolletage, or own separately over eyelids, browbones, and inner corners. Results are flawlessly incandescent.) Also on ABH's website they say how to use these metallic powders is by using their ideal brush #23 (ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- Brush #23 Link).

GIORGIO ARMANI- Luminous Silk Foundation















Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation sells for U.S. $62.00 for 1 FL. oz of product (typical amount of product for a foundation). This foundation is good on normal to combination skin types. On Sephora's website it states how this foundation is a light-weight liquid that achieves a radiant, silky finish. For the heavy price tag I don't think this product is worth splurging on, there are so many other options of foundation that works even better but this foundation does give you an effortless coverage no matter how many layers you put on you will not look cakey. Also on Sephora's website this foundation does come in a travel size (above shown is the full size product that retails for $62.00 in shade 7.5), the travel size retails for U.S. $42.00 for 0.06 oz of product... The travel size is an exclusive to Sephora and can be bought online only. This foundation does offer a variety of different skin tones with several different undertones. I give this product a 6/10, in my opinion it's not worth splurging on, there are better foundations with a more gorgeous coverage but it's a nice foundation in general. If you're going to purchase this make sure you go to the store to see what your shade is, online I thought I was in shade 6 but turns out to be I'm actually 7.5, best of luck!

The shade in Butterscotch has chunky glitter but if that bothers you that shade is not meant for you but overall these shades are universal and help create a one of a kind look!

These Lippie Stixs are very comfy to wear on the lips and highly pigmented for the price tag. I give this product a 8/10 only because since all of my lippe stix are in a matte finish they leave a satin appearance once applied to my lips which a no for me but other than that the formula of these is exceptional! Suscribe to ColourPop's email to get $5 off your first purchase!

Left to right are the liquid lipsticks shades in Sad Girl, Ashton and Kathryn. Ashton and Kathryn both dry down to matte finishes except Sad Girl which doesn't try down only because this liquid lipstick is infused to with tiny glitters to show off a metallic appearance. Each liquid lipstick has 3.2g/0.11oz worth of product inside. Note that if you apply multiple coats at once on the lips with this product you lips will dry out and the lipstick will start to crack and peel off in patches, you only need one thin coat of this for your lips! 10/10 would recommend, even though it's pricey the lipstick does go a long way and is budge proof!

COLOURPOP- Super Shock Shadows



ColourPop retails their Super Shock Shadows for U.S. $5.00, the shadows shown above are (left to right) Flower Shop, Flutes, KAEPOP Crenshaw (collaboration with Karrueche) and Nillionaire. Top left picture is with flash the right one is without. Super Shock Shadow's in Flutes and Crenshaw is both matte finishes, Nillionaire is a metallic finish and Flower Shop is in a pearlized finish. These shadows are best applies with fingertips, you get more color pay off that way. If you're going to "invest" into buying these shadows I recommend purchasing the Super Shock Shadows in Satin, Pearlized or Metallic finish, they're more easier to work with. With the matte shadows' they're harder to blend on the eye and takes more effort to apply in the crease since you're using your fingertips. Each Super Shock Shadow has 2.1g/0.07oz worth of product which is a lot for a single shadow that's worth only $5.00 compared to a single Makeup Geek shadow which sells for U.S. $6.00 you're getting only 1.8g of product. 10/10 would recommend, these Super Shock Shadows are highly pigmented and wear for a long period of time! Plus, the formula of these shadows are like no other!!! If you subscribe to ColourPop's email you get $5 off your purchase.
