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.

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I was so skeptical about this product. I mean it is a super fine powder that is suppose to exfoliate my skin. It is a super fine powder, but it still does the trick! While being extremely gentle to the skin the natural starch and silk powder exfoliates your skin removing dead skin build up and surface build up in pores. On top of that it will leave your skin glowing with the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid from all the fruit extracts in this. It has not only pineapple, but also kiwi and papaya! What's even better (that I have absolutely loved!) is that this is made without microbeads, nuts, or anything that will be too harsh and could potentially scratch the surface of your skin.  While being super gentle it will also leave your skin soothed and calm with the calamine powder and allantoin that is in it too.  Sorry I sound like an infomercial in these blogs. I just want all the info out there for you w...

Black Moon Cosmetics Lip Trio | Makeup

  Mini Moon Liquid to Matte Nude Trio (Deep/Dark) I was happy to make another purchase from the indie brand, Black Moon Cosmetics . I bought the Urban Myth palette last fall and fell in love with it! The brand has since caught my attention over and over with it's clever packaging, overall asethetic, and unique shades. And not just with eyeshadow but with lipsticks as well. Their shade range in lip products are so cool and the packaging is beautiful. I have to say I'm still usually on the fence about trying new liquid lipsticks. To be honest, I feel I have found formulas/brands that work for me and that I know wear amazingly and feel comfortable (not too drying) and I've stuck to those when buying new shades. So it put me off for awhile until I seen them advertise these adorable tin moon holders. At first I seen them and thought of decor, they were so cute! I recently redecorated my filming setup and was in the market for little trinkets that caught my attenion and this one...
