Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose // Makeup Monday

Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose // Makeup Monday Fairy Tales Little Briar Rose Palette This may be my very first Storybook Cosmetics palette, but I have been eyeing this brand for years now. I'm always intrigued, but I guess it's the fear of trying something new and not knowing if I will like it or not. Their packaging is so adorable and I fall in love with each launch. This was a HUGE deal for me when Boxycharm announced we would be getting a Storybook Cosmetics palette in our boxes! This does seem to be a limited supply of palettes that they curated with Boxycharm, but last time I checked the website they still had palettes available and at a discount price if you're interested! This wasn't the only one. This is the bigger palette they offered for BoxyLuxe, but the regular Boxycharm boxes had a smaller palette. I believe one was Red Riding Hood and one was Robin Hood. Both super cute and I may end up caving and picking those up with the discou

ColourPop Pretty Fresh // Makeup Monday

ColourPop Pretty Fresh // Makeup Monday   When I say this collection excited me... I mean it was the real deal. Every spring and summer I'm looking for a lightweight and light coverage glowy product that will last in the heat. I hate a full face when the heat makes me melt. Although this line launched when I wouldn't use it a lot (in the fall) I actually did find myself using it day to day for all mom things. Since I did buy these when they launched I have been trying them since October and I have a lot of thoughts so stay with me.  I want to first say this collection comes with a tinted moisturizer, hydrating primer, hydrating setting spray, and a sponge! I was honestly excited about all of these because all of them are products I'm all for plus it's ColourPop so the formula is going to be amazing with an incredible price tag.  Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer   This tinted moisturizer is just what I wanted in a lightweight, just enough coverage,

JSC x Shane Dawson // Makeup Monday

JSC x Shane Dawson // Makeup Monday Another collection from Jeffree comes and blows up the internet once again. I was apart of that long frustrating day that led up to me being able to buy both the Conspiracy and Mini Controversy Palettes and one of the Velour Liquid Lipsticks from the collection. This was a massive launch with more than I could keep up with, but from the get-go, I had my eyes on the palettes. This launches success wasn't only from Jeffree and his rising brand, but also the controversial Shane Dawson. Shane has been doing YouTube for years and though I never was into the skit videos, the "food videos," and other things. I did, however, fall into the sinkhole of Shane's conspiracy theory videos. I've binged watched them all a few times and his other "spooky" videos when I fell in love with his content and the direction he was going in. I wanted to be happy for Shane stepping into the beauty world, but like most, I was wanting m

KKW Fragrance // Crystal Pear & Peony

KKW Fragrance // Crystal Pear & Peony   This last year I noticed how my taste in perfume had changed and also how my collection was really slacking. I got so used to avoiding my past fragrances and using Sol de Janeiro's body mist every day as a quick go-to. I have a collection in a glass bowl full of perfume samples that I would like to use and try out. If anything to plan out future perfume purchases. I still couldn't help myself when making a couple purchases through KKW Frangrance last year. I wasn't planning on posting about them until I became obsessed and now I find myself looking at perfume more often and even planning my next purchase. This wasn't my first purchase through KKW Fragrance, but since this one is not only an Ulta Exclusive but was also a holiday fragrance I wanted to share it now. So pretty much expect more perfume posts in the future. Haha!  This exclusive I would have probably passed up if it wasn't for the fact it launch

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday Celestial Thunder Palette  Although this palette is not actually available on Dominique Cosmetics I wanted to still share it since it's the very first DC palette I have tried. I link her Celestial Storm palette above since it's the full-size palette from that launch... A baby Celestial Storm. You can check out my four looks with this palette, but I wanted to share the swatches and my overall thoughts of this formula. I'm still not completely sure if this palette is just like the others or not. I don't want to come off as hating this palette because I really don't. I struggled with shades for sure, but overall really like this palette. The mattes I find a little difficult to work with mainly so with Zero Gravity the charcoal grey shade. I used it in 3/4 looks in my video and had troubles each time. It reminded me a little of the Subculture fiasco. I find the mattes and metallics to both be pretty dr
