September 2017 Subscriptions Try On

September 2017 Subscriptions Try On




Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream
(Play! By Sephora)

I really liked the way this cream sank into my skin and left it super soft and moisturized. This isn't a thick formula so it would cause your foundation to slide around. This literally dissolves right into the skin. The lotus scent smells a little like a cucumber, but it's not super strong either. 








Morphe E6 Brush 
 (MorpheMe)

It felt odd using this flat top foundation brush for my foundation. It's super soft and not that dense like other foundation brushes. I honestly didn't think I would like this brush, but I actually loved the way my foundation looked after applying it with this brush. When applying foundation with a flat top ,I normally stipple it on instead of rubbing with the brush. With this brush I had to rub it around, but it did the job and looked good!


























Morphe M576, M577, M578 Brushes
(MorpheMe)

I apologize that these pictures don't show the the bristles of two of the brushes, but I used all three of the eye brushes that I got in my MorpheMe subscription and you can see better pictures of them in my unboxing blog that I'll link below. 
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed using these eye brushes as well! They blended my eye look so well and they're definitely brushes I would use often! 







Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil & Glitter Shadow Duo 
(Play! By Sephora) 

I saw someone unbox this product on YouTube and hers was all dried out and I automatically was bummed just knowing mine probably was too. Mine, fortunately, is in excellent shape! This is a smaller sample, but with a product like this I feel that it would still last awhile. Applying this was easy (the liquid foil and then the glitter on top) and I just applied this on my lids. Sadly I did experience fall-out, but that's pretty common with any type of glitter.. I just wish I had done my eye makeup before my foundation.. My eyes looked really good and I got tons of inspiration for some glam looks using this product with how gorgeous it is! 
The let down on this product was that it transferred after about 30 minutes to above my (ugh my hooded eyes) crease.

Sephora Crayon Contour Eye Pencil (01 Matte Black) 
(Play! By Sephora)
Again, I apologize for being out of focus for this picture. I'm not sure what was going on with my camera and lighting this day. I wanted to keep my eyes brighter with this look, so I only put this black liner in my sightline. It glided on really nice and I didn't have to force it on. It's a good creamy formula. I didn't really watch to see how long it wore, so I'll have to try it on my waterline soon.

These two close up pictures were from an hour after applying my makeup. You can see where the glitter transferred above my crease.










Wander Beauty Wanderout Dual Lipstick (wanderberry)
(Play! By Sephora)

I absolutely love this formula of lipstick! I've already purchased a full size of one of these. The idea of having it be a dual lipstick so the actual top cap is in the middle of the product with a lipstick on each end is really cool to me. This color was stunning and is such a pretty holiday color as well! This helped make my look more glam-like.








Kiss Me Gloss (Single A.F.)
(LiveGlam Kiss Me)

I switched my lips to this gloss to tone the look down to more of a natural look and to also try out one of these Kiss Me lippies. I really love this gloss and the way it applied, but I'll be trying out some of their liquid lipsticks in future blogs.




Polish Me (Royal Reef)
(LiveGlam Polish Me)

The last product I wanted to mention is the nail polish I'm wearing in these pictures. This was one of the polishes I received this past month. With these duo chrome shades I had to apply 2-3 coats, but it dried down fast and wears normal like other polishes do. I tend to have chips here and there after a couple days of wearing any normal polish. 



I was really impressed with what I got in my Play! By Sephora for this month along with my Ipsy Glam Bag (which I've already done a whole blog here). 
I've enjoyed the subscriptions from LiveGlam, but I'm wanting to really test out the products more for the next couple of months to see if they're worth keeping. My thoughts as of now is I'm loving the Morphe brushes and I'm happy growing my brush collection. The kiss me products smell amazing and seem to have a good formula, but I'm really most interested in seeing how well they mix up the colors to really be able to say if I feel it's worth keeping. The polish me polishes I got are the only ones I'm not sure of.. I wish they would've switched it up more this month and not send all duo chrome at one time. I want to see how their other shades are, but if their formula is the same with 2-3 coats each and chipping within 2 days..In my opinion it's not worth the $20 for three nail polishes.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
