Dragun Beauty Lip Products | Makeup

Dragun Glass Liquid Lipstick   I have to say I have been eyeing Dragun Beauty for a while. I have really liked the aesthetics of the brand but, unfortunately, every product launch was just products not meant for me. From color correctors (that I don't use often enough) to pressed powders (that I wasn't using either) the brand wasn't doing it for me. I can appreciate the first launch's uniqueness though. At least we weren't seeing another new brand with a neutral palette as the first item. Then came the eyeshadow palettes and lip products. The color story on the palettes hasn't caught my attention but the campaigns and packaging have for sure. The packaging on these lip products is stunning! I love the crystal look but also the way she has chosen to display the brand name. It's an influencer brand so I'm always a little cautious, but honestly, I've been blown away just about every time with these smaller brands! Nikita has blown me away too with thes

Ace Beaute Oceanic | Makeup

  Oceanic Palette In today's palette review, I have a lot of thoughts, but let's keep this short and sweet! I bought this palette last year and it sat just to collect dust. I felt so uninspired with it at the time. The mixtures of blue threw me off even though I loved the palette shades indivually enough to buy the palette as a whole. So this ended up being a palette in the stack of unused for some time. I have tried other Ace Beaute palettes and I am one that actually really likes their formula. It's definitely not the best out there, in my opinion, but still an incredible indie brand with unique shades that have payoff. I love supporting them. I finally dipped into this palette last month and took off creating looks. I'm so much more inspired with it now that I'm kind of happy I waited, but it's so beautiful I'm mad I waited. Ha! Do you feel me on that?  I have been inspired to mix shades I normally wouldn't tend to, to find out I love them paired. I&

Wander Beauty Double Date Lip & Cheek | Makeup

  Wander Beauty Double Date Lip & Cheek I've been a sucker for cream products so I was so excited to get this lip and cheek duo in one of my makeup subscription boxes. While I normally use these type of products for just my cheeks I did use it on both to show the shades. I only have one of these, in the shade Rendezvous/Swipe , but really like the shade. It is definitely more of a spring/summer shade so I wanted to share now before I start going more deeper for the fall. I have pros and cons with these though. They have four total, which I feel isn't a lot, but I do like the shades they have to offer. I also am not sure why these are duos. It makes more sense for the lips I guess but hear me out. You open the top lid to the pretty pink pigment shade and then open it again to reveal a mirror and clear balm. This clear balm will obviously be a good clear lip balm but can be used as a glossy highlighter as well. The problem with this is that each duo has the same clear balm. 

Dossier Floriental Coconut | Fragrance

Floriental Coconut by Dossier Main notes of this perfume are :  Cardamom, Pistachio, Ylang Ylang, Coconut  Top Notes :  Cardamom, Pistachio, Bergamot  Middle Notes :  Ylang Ylang, Tuberose, Jasmine  Base Notes : Cedarwood, Amber, Bezoin, Coconut This beautiful scent has become a summer favorite for me. It is such a nice day wear with floral notes and a kick of coconut which I'm obsessed with. This is my first Dossier scent, that they kindly sent my way, for my real honest review. They create high-end, luxury scents that wear just as well as high-end scents at the fraction of the price. Plus the vegan, paraben-free, and cruelty-free tags make this even more perfect!  This particular scent is inspired by Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc and like I said it smells heavenly. It smells just as good as any boujee fragrances I have tried and wear just as good too! I still can smell the notes of coconut and amber the next day.  The bottle is a sleek glass with a white label (the same as all the

Rebel Rouge Labs Gods & Monsters | Makeup

Another gem from Rebel Rouge Labs . If you're just now hearing about this brand, it is one I found on Instagram and fell in love with its aesthetic. I then found out it was a small indie brand on Etsy and was even more excited to support it! This brand is also woman-owned and she is a sweetheart with a true passion for what she creates. I've been blown away by each launch and it's coming up on a whole year of trying and loving this brand! I talked about the Howlin' For You palette last year and it was one that came back this year! This year I fell in love with Prelude to Agony and now we have Gods & Monsters .  This palette is chef kisses. It is such a unique color scheme that I have been loving this summer. You have a nice balance of warm tones and color shades that really pact a punch in pigment. The Dauphin blue has become a go-to favorite shade of mine. It is so pigmented and bright! If you were wondering about the formula it is a 10/10 and better than so man
