Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks (exclusive to only Sephora) retail for U.S. $20.00 each,  for 0.22 oz/ 6.6 mL of product, Kat Von D's line of Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks come in 28 various shades! Shown above are (Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks' picture) Lolita (chestnut rose), Bow N Arrow (fawn nude), Lolita II (terra-cotta nude), Double Dare (cocoa blush) and Bauhau5 (deep raspberry). (swatches [left to right] are Lolita II, Bauhau5, Double Dare, Bow N Arrow and Lolita. These liquid lipsticks have a long wear, opaque just with one swipe and have a matte finish, they're formulated without parabens. These liquid lipsticks have vitamin E and sunflower seeds so your lips are comfortable when used, honestly this is my favorite brand of liquid lipsticks they glide on like a gloss but then dries down matte, they're so comfortable and creamy and doesn't chip off. 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! 

TARTE- Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette


Tarte's Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette retails for U.S. $45.00 for 0.053 oz of product for each eyeshadow pan. The eyeshadow palette has 12 brand new shades of a mixture of matte and luster finishes. This palette is formulated without parabens and phthalates. The swatches are the shades left to right from the palette, Charmer (off white), Jetsetter (warm taupe), Rocker (shimmering taupe), Smokeshow (black brown), Flower Child (peachy nude), Smarty Pants (tan), Firecracker (bronze copper), Activist (dark brown), Funny Girl (champagne), Sweetheart (peach), Rebel (chestnut brown), Leader (aubergine). 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.

Unlike previous palattes launched by Anastasia Beverly Hills, Modern Renaissance is the first permanent eyeyshadow palette in their line. There are 14 eyeshadows in the palatte each with 0.02 oz amount of product, these eyeshadows are formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

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!
