Rare Beauty | Makeup

  The gem that is Selena Gomez came out with a beautiful brand,  Rare Beauty , all about empowering people to accept/acknowledge not only their inner beauty but their outer beauty. A lot of beauty brands have tried this type of direction but  Rare Beauty  does in a different yet unique way that is very authentic. I love their mission on recognizing the rare beauty within everyone.  It's already a brand I can stand behind/support, but they also have to be some of the most beautiful products and packaging in the beauty world. I'm not done exploring this brand but wanted to share the gems I have tried with you.  Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush - Nearly Neutral   If my cream blush addiction wasn't in full swing I may have missed these beauties... Maybe not with how incredibly gorgeous they are! These melting blushes do just that! They melt into the skin as a cream blush but leave a finish of satin/powder product. I say that lightly because it doesn't go completely matte but I

KKW Fragrance Diamonds Round 2 | Fragrance

  I loved the first round of Diamonds so much I was so excited for round 2. What I love the most about what Kim did with this round was make scents opposite from the last trio. While I would probably reach for the first three in the spring and summer, these new three are more fall and winter scents to me. They all have a bigger punch in scent and are super sultry. The first three are more of a day scent compared to these. I tend to go for sultry "night" scents for my fall days. Check out the first round of  KKW Diamonds  to see more about those and what I mean by how theses differ in review comparisons. Kim and each of her OG sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, collab amazingly every time. The packaging is again the stunning glass diamonds in new shades to match the scents.  KHLOÉ - SAPPHIRE DIAMOND Opening: Mesmerizing Seabreeze Accord, Mandarin Essence Italy Orpur, Crystallized Blueberries Heart: Ethereal Cobalt Wisteria Scenttrek, Rose Essence Bulgaria Orpur, Delicious Toasted Pa

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

Nomad Cosmetics Haunted Europe Palette | Makeup

I'm back with another from Nomad Cosmetics and let me tell you it's another fall gem. I recently talked about the Berlin Underground palette and wanted to mention it again since it will be gone so soon! So check out that blog and grab it while you can.   How gorgeous is this palette? From the beautiful color story down to the spooky packaging, I am in awe again. Haunted Europe has the most beautiful cool tones and each matte has a unique undertone. The mattes are pigmented and blend very well. The metallics are beautiful too. I personally love how buildable they are because they really do pack a punch but I love how they apply like a shimmer topper when applied on lightly. They are a very fine shimmer that makes every look with them just pop! This palette is bigger than I thought it was going to be with 18 shades. It has 9 mattes and 9 metallics for the even mix. The pan stamps are castles, trees (forests), bats, spider webs, coffins, & tombstones for the spooky vibes bu
