Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday

Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday 



This collection was one I was drawn to because I knew how much I would love it in the spring. It's simple with a little color and that's what I love in 9 pan palettes. They're perfect for everyday wear and for that they're super handy and probably my most used palettes. I also love how some of the mattes and metallics in this palette complement each other for beautiful monochromatic looks. 
I did four looks with this palette in a video and you can really tell I've been loving those monochromatic looks too! I'm also usually drawn in by purple shadows, but the layout and everything about this palette just spoke to me. I'm shocked at how many weren't interested in it, but at the same time, I understand completely considering she launched it in October. For one, I was waiting and expecting another amazing Halloween launch from her which didn't happen and for two, these are obviously spring tones that probably won't do great in the fall. With Paris fashion week I guess there was no getting around it, but I'm so happy to be getting this blog up now because this palette is now back in stock and spring is just around the corner! I also wanted to mention it, even though it's repetitive, this is a review so it should be said. This formula is like any other Kylie formula and I enjoyed both mattes and metallics. There are more metallics (5 metallics) in this one than mattes (2 mattes) and there is also another pressed glitter (just 1) in this palette. The pressed glitter is like ones before. Although it may seem crumbly pressed on with your finger it packs right on the lid and wears great! She has one of the best pressed glitter formulas I have ever tried!

Paris Lip Kit & High Gloss (Model Behavior) 

While I want to mention these because I've really enjoyed them. It looks like they're no longer available on her website which is irritating since it has only been a few months. The lip kit isn't my favorite. It looks stunning on Kylie, but I find the pink to be unflattering paired with the brown liner on myself. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the pink liquid lipstick in general, but oh my God that brown liner is my new BFF. I seriously wore it for days after trying it, ordered more brown lip products, and I'm devastated that it is no longer on her site. The shade/tone of it is perfect and I'm so bummed that it may never be back. 
The High Gloss is the first of that formula from her that I have tried and I love it! The shade is clear with specks of (not too chunky) glitter that you can see in the swatched photo of it. It is so beautiful and it was my most used gloss since getting this collection. It's not my top favorite in shade, but I definitely want more of her High Gloss now.

Tower 28 Beauty | Makeup

 To the brand that has opened my eyes to a creative outlet while thinking of my skin all the time. Tower 28 Beauty has proved to me that you can have fun with makeup while taking your skin into consideration the entire time. While it's still fun to dip into all my other makeup I have found so much joy in my lightweight makeup ways. The shift happened after trying more cream products and Tower 28 has been one of them. I eyed the beauty of this brand for a while and then took the plunge with their cream bronzer, Bronzino in the shade Sun Coast (the lightest to go with my fair complexion), Beach Please Balm Blush in the shade Power Hour , and a couple of their ShineOn Lip Jellies (Almond & Cashew) .  Their creams are balms so you get a full shine to your look. They not only make your skin look glossy and healthy but also vibrant with the pigment. The blushes really pack a punch in pigment and can be worn as a flush of color or built-up. The bronzer is a little less pigmented th

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Alamar Cosmetics Spanglish | Makeup

I've been loving Alamar since it started and I love to see how far they have come. It's an indie brand I will always recommend so to then get their products in Boxycharm or Boxy Pop Up sales its a win win! That's how I got my Spanglish palette . You can already see this is an Ally palette by the purples! It's a gorgeous one with buttery mattes and stunning metallics. I also appreciate the subtle browns while also having the pops of color too. I found the color story pretty, but also odd. It's not one you see a lot but it does work. I have also found myself creating unique shades by mixing shades together. It's definitely a cute summer moment that you won't be disappointed with.  Swatches left to right: Pero Like, Eres Un Show, Tiene Swing, Guao, Ay Que Cute, Jajaja, Muy Excited, & Ponte Hyper.  Did you miss these blogs?  Lizzie McGuire x ColourPop | Makeup KVD Beauty Edge of Reality | Makeup Beautbean x Shroud It's Freakin' Bats | Makeup I als
