Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday

Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday 



This collection was one I was drawn to because I knew how much I would love it in the spring. It's simple with a little color and that's what I love in 9 pan palettes. They're perfect for everyday wear and for that they're super handy and probably my most used palettes. I also love how some of the mattes and metallics in this palette complement each other for beautiful monochromatic looks. 
I did four looks with this palette in a video and you can really tell I've been loving those monochromatic looks too! I'm also usually drawn in by purple shadows, but the layout and everything about this palette just spoke to me. I'm shocked at how many weren't interested in it, but at the same time, I understand completely considering she launched it in October. For one, I was waiting and expecting another amazing Halloween launch from her which didn't happen and for two, these are obviously spring tones that probably won't do great in the fall. With Paris fashion week I guess there was no getting around it, but I'm so happy to be getting this blog up now because this palette is now back in stock and spring is just around the corner! I also wanted to mention it, even though it's repetitive, this is a review so it should be said. This formula is like any other Kylie formula and I enjoyed both mattes and metallics. There are more metallics (5 metallics) in this one than mattes (2 mattes) and there is also another pressed glitter (just 1) in this palette. The pressed glitter is like ones before. Although it may seem crumbly pressed on with your finger it packs right on the lid and wears great! She has one of the best pressed glitter formulas I have ever tried! 


Swatches top to bottom: PFW, Catwalk, Top Model, Night Out, City of Love, Main Event, Attitude, Model Type, & Close the Show
Paris Lip Kit & High Gloss (Model Behavior) 

While I want to mention these because I've really enjoyed them. It looks like they're no longer available on her website which is irritating since it has only been a few months. The lip kit isn't my favorite. It looks stunning on Kylie, but I find the pink to be unflattering paired with the brown liner on myself. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the pink liquid lipstick in general, but oh my God that brown liner is my new BFF. I seriously wore it for days after trying it, ordered more brown lip products, and I'm devastated that it is no longer on her site. The shade/tone of it is perfect and I'm so bummed that it may never be back. 
The High Gloss is the first of that formula from her that I have tried and I love it! The shade is clear with specks of (not too chunky) glitter that you can see in the swatched photo of it. It is so beautiful and it was my most used gloss since getting this collection. It's not my top favorite in shade, but I definitely want more of her High Gloss now.

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...
