Lunar Beauty Strawberry Dream // Makeup Monday

Lunar Beauty Strawberry Dream // Makeup Monday 


Lunar Beauty has been a brand that has caught my eye from the beginning. I'm usually a little uneasy buying straight into a new brand at first and give it some time. By Manny's launch of the palettes with Medusa on them, I knew this was going to be a brand to watch because of how creative he was with it. When Strawberry Dream launched I knew I was sold on it, but life ran away from me and I always forgot to order it. Once again the launch of Moonspell had me so intrigued with the beauty of this brand and not to mention there were never any bad reviews on this brand. On Black Friday I happened to see Manny post about the sale and knew it was time, but I just purchased the products in this blog on that day. I have done a first impression with all three and a 4 looks 1 palette with Strawberry Dream and I thought it was time to discuss it here on my blog since I have already ordered another palette from Lunar Beauty! 




Where to begin with this gorgeous palette? I was blown away by the packaging again of course. He is so creative with every launch I swear! The shades are stunning and what I wasn't sure was how they would perform. I mean it's creative, beautiful, and all that but, will the formula be nice? 
He is not playing with this formula. I was shocked by the first use of the mattes blending effortlessly and then applying the beautiful metallics. Literally shook at the quality from the get-go.
With each look, I did I fell more in love with not just the palette, but the formula as well. This led me to buy another palette from Lunar Beauty (coming to my channel soon) and I'm sure many more in the future. I believe this is a pressed pigment palette because of the pigment these give off and I did notice minor staining on my lids with a couple of the shades. It was nothing too crazy though. There are 9 mattes and 6 metallic/glitter shades. Blue Diamond is such a unique shade that I'm obsessed with. I wore it in two different looks in my video and loved the fact that it is icy, yet baby blue at the same time! If you have been considering trying a Lunar Beauty palette and haven't made the leap, do it! 



Swatches left to right: Blue Diamond, Sweet Dream, Ruby Skies, Horizon, Nightfall, Cloudy, Skyline, Sunrise, Sunset, Strawberry Moon, Lightning, Pink Flash, Blue Sky, Haze, & Storm Cloud. 





I feel like Sailor Moon with this Moon Prism Powder! The formula is hard to explain besides saying it is buttery and smooth. This is the lightest shade he has in the line of these highlighters (so there are deeper shades for deeper skin tones) and although it is gorgeous I don't really care for gold shifts in my highlights. This one has a light gold shift to it. I wish it was more champagne than gold, but the actual formula is so gorgeous.  






I only picked up one lip product this time around so I can't speak on the liquid lipstick formula, but the gloss is really nice. It is one of the best glosses I have tried. It feels more oil-based of a lip gloss which makes it nonsticky and very moisturizing while being glossy. This Dreamy shade is a light pink tint and is perfect for every day.   The packaging once again is stunning and I love the detail put into it. Like I mentioned in the first impression video the diamond in the top of the lid reminds me of The Sims haha. I LOVE the applicator too. It is so soft and larger so one dip in is enough. 

I'm overall super stoked about Lunar Beauty and can't wait to try more! XO

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
