September 2017 Subscriptions Try On

September 2017 Subscriptions Try On

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream
(Play! By Sephora)

I really liked the way this cream sank into my skin and left it super soft and moisturized. This isn't a thick formula so it would cause your foundation to slide around. This literally dissolves right into the skin. The lotus scent smells a little like a cucumber, but it's not super strong either. 







Morphe E6 Brush 
 (MorpheMe)

It felt odd using this flat top foundation brush for my foundation. It's super soft and not that dense like other foundation brushes. I honestly didn't think I would like this brush, but I actually loved the way my foundation looked after applying it with this brush. When applying foundation with a flat top ,I normally stipple it on instead of rubbing with the brush. With this brush I had to rub it around, but it did the job and looked good!

























Morphe M576, M577, M578 Brushes
(MorpheMe)

I apologize that these pictures don't show the the bristles of two of the brushes, but I used all three of the eye brushes that I got in my MorpheMe subscription and you can see better pictures of them in my unboxing blog that I'll link below. 
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed using these eye brushes as well! They blended my eye look so well and they're definitely brushes I would use often! 

Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil & Glitter Shadow Duo 
(Play! By Sephora) 

I saw someone unbox this product on YouTube and hers was all dried out and I automatically was bummed just knowing mine probably was too. Mine, fortunately, is in excellent shape! This is a smaller sample, but with a product like this I feel that it would still last awhile. Applying this was easy (the liquid foil and then the glitter on top) and I just applied this on my lids. Sadly I did experience fall-out, but that's pretty common with any type of glitter.. I just wish I had done my eye makeup before my foundation.. My eyes looked really good and I got tons of inspiration for some glam looks using this product with how gorgeous it is! 
The let down on this product was that it transferred after about 30 minutes to above my (ugh my hooded eyes) crease.

Sephora Crayon Contour Eye Pencil (01 Matte Black) 
(Play! By Sephora)
Again, I apologize for being out of focus for this picture. I'm not sure what was going on with my camera and lighting this day. I wanted to keep my eyes brighter with this look, so I only put this black liner in my sightline. It glided on really nice and I didn't have to force it on. It's a good creamy formula. I didn't really watch to see how long it wore, so I'll have to try it on my waterline soon.

These two close up pictures were from an hour after applying my makeup. You can see where the glitter transferred above my crease.
Wander Beauty Wanderout Dual Lipstick (wanderberry)
(Play! By Sephora)

I absolutely love this formula of lipstick! I've already purchased a full size of one of these. The idea of having it be a dual lipstick so the actual top cap is in the middle of the product with a lipstick on each end is really cool to me. This color was stunning and is such a pretty holiday color as well! This helped make my look more glam-like.






Kiss Me Gloss (Single A.F.)
(LiveGlam Kiss Me)

I switched my lips to this gloss to tone the look down to more of a natural look and to also try out one of these Kiss Me lippies. I really love this gloss and the way it applied, but I'll be trying out some of their liquid lipsticks in future blogs.



Polish Me (Royal Reef)
(LiveGlam Polish Me)

The last product I wanted to mention is the nail polish I'm wearing in these pictures. This was one of the polishes I received this past month. With these duo chrome shades I had to apply 2-3 coats, but it dried down fast and wears normal like other polishes do. I tend to have chips here and there after a couple days of wearing any normal polish. 



I was really impressed with what I got in my Play! By Sephora for this month along with my Ipsy Glam Bag (which I've already done a whole blog here). 
I've enjoyed the subscriptions from LiveGlam, but I'm wanting to really test out the products more for the next couple of months to see if they're worth keeping. My thoughts as of now is I'm loving the Morphe brushes and I'm happy growing my brush collection. The kiss me products smell amazing and seem to have a good formula, but I'm really most interested in seeing how well they mix up the colors to really be able to say if I feel it's worth keeping. The polish me polishes I got are the only ones I'm not sure of.. I wish they would've switched it up more this month and not send all duo chrome at one time. I want to see how their other shades are, but if their formula is the same with 2-3 coats each and chipping within 2 days..In my opinion it's not worth the $20 for three nail polishes.

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...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
