ColourPop x Nightmare Before Christmas | Makeup


 It dawned on me that there are still makeup collections from last year that I haven't even mentioned here. Some I'm willing to look past and not worry about but the new faves have to be mentioned. So if you notice some older collections... Don't mind me! This one is worth the mention. I was super stoked about this collab. I mean so many collection opportunities come in the beauty world but it always comes down to who/what company has been chosen. Ha! That sadly, happened a lot last year with so many that could've really been something. That is why I was so happy to end out the year with a love of mine, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and a brand like ColourPop that would do it justice. I do think the aesthetic could've been a little more. I wish it even came more geared towards Halloween instead of Christmas, but once I had it in my hands I had to give props to ColourPop. It is an insanely beautiful collection. I still crave more grunge in shade choices, but the palette is still a unique color story and one I think a lot would love. The formula is a 10/10 from them so if you enjoy the best of the best from ColourPop you'll like the way these shadows perform. 



Swatches Left To Right: Zero, Meant To Be, Dear Friend, In My Bones, Pumpkin Patch, Christmas Town, Frog's Breath, Dr. Finkelstein, What's This, Sandy Claws, Everybody Scream, & Halloween Town



I couldn't resist the Jelly Much shadows in this collection either. I love Lock, Shock, and Barrel so I had to splurge a little even though I have a love-hate relationship with this formula. It is stunning and everything to expect from jelly. Pigment, sparkle, wears well but also dries out hella fast. I do like the switch from plastic containers to glass jars (like pot eyeliners) and hope I see a change in their shelf span. 



The lipsticks I almost passed on but like the Jelly Much Shadows they won me over with the characters. The only part that really confuses me is the shades. Sure we have a pretty neutral nude for the Oogie Boogie shade, but Jack and Sally's shades are ehh. The Jack shade would've been so cool if we got a creme lux lipstick in black! But sadly, it's another ColourPop red... The Sally shade on the other hand is this super neon pink. I know, I know. They pulled the pink from Sally's dress. While I have actually worn this shade many times now even with its shocking shade I still wish they would've gone a little grungier with this entire collection. It's still a really cool collab that I reach for quite a bit. Are you loving this collection? xo 

*Don't mind the older Christmas shots. Ha!

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
