Lunar Beauty Strawberry Dream // Makeup Monday

Lunar Beauty Strawberry Dream // Makeup Monday 


 Lunar Beauty has been a brand that has caught my eye from the beginning. I'm usually a little uneasy buying straight into a new brand at first and give it some time. By Manny's launch of the palettes with Medusa on them, I knew this was going to be a brand to watch because of how creative he was with it. When Strawberry Dream launched I knew I was sold on it, but life ran away from me and I always forgot to order it. Once again the launch of Moonspell had me so intrigued with the beauty of this brand and not to mention there were never any bad reviews on this brand. On Black Friday I happened to see Manny post about the sale and knew it was time, but I just purchased the products in this blog on that day. I have done a first impression with all three and a 4 looks 1 palette with Strawberry Dream and I thought it was time to discuss it here on my blog since I have already ordered another palette from Lunar Beauty! 

Where to begin with this gorgeous palette? I was blown away by the packaging again of course. He is so creative with every launch I swear! The shades are stunning and what I wasn't sure was how they would perform. I mean it's creative, beautiful, and all that but, will the formula be nice? 
He is not playing with this formula. I was shocked by the first use of the mattes blending effortlessly and then applying the beautiful metallics. Literally shook at the quality from the get-go.
With each look, I did I fell more in love with not just the palette, but the formula as well. This led me to buy another palette from Lunar Beauty (coming to my channel soon) and I'm sure many more in the future. I believe this is a pressed pigment palette because of the pigment these give off and I did notice minor staining on my lids with a couple of the shades. It was nothing too crazy though. There are 9 mattes and 6 metallic/glitter shades. Blue Diamond is such a unique shade that I'm obsessed with. I wore it in two different looks in my video and loved the fact that it is icy, yet baby blue at the same time! If you have been considering trying a Lunar Beauty palette and haven't made the leap, do it! 
Swatches left to right: Blue Diamond, Sweet Dream, Ruby Skies, Horizon, Nightfall, Cloudy, Skyline, Sunrise, Sunset, Strawberry Moon, Lightning, Pink Flash, Blue Sky, Haze, & Storm Cloud. 

I feel like Sailor Moon with this Moon Prism Powder! The formula is hard to explain besides saying it is buttery and smooth. This is the lightest shade he has in the line of these highlighters (so there are deeper shades for deeper skin tones) and although it is gorgeous I don't really care for gold shifts in my highlights. This one has a light gold shift to it. I wish it was more champagne than gold, but the actual formula is so gorgeous.  




I only picked up one lip product this time around so I can't speak on the liquid lipstick formula, but the gloss is really nice. It is one of the best glosses I have tried. It feels more oil-based of a lip gloss which makes it nonsticky and very moisturizing while being glossy. This Dreamy shade is a light pink tint and is perfect for every day.   The packaging once again is stunning and I love the detail put into it. Like I mentioned in the first impression video the diamond in the top of the lid reminds me of The Sims haha. I LOVE the applicator too. It is so soft and larger so one dip in is enough. 

I'm overall super stoked about Lunar Beauty and can't wait to try more! XO

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...
