Hey everyone!

Today I have a review of the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby.  I don't think anyone in the beauty community missed out on hearing about Fenty Beauty/Rihanna's makeup line and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss out. Given Rihanna's penchant for color, I was rather interested in seeing how inclusive their foundation was and how there was such a variety of highlighters to fit so many skin tones.

I went back and forth between the highlighters; I swatched a few of the duos and the single Metal Moon before I decided on Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby.

Announcement: The Makeup Show LA 2017 - November 4th and 5th

Hey everyone!

I'm so excited to talk about one of my favorite events of the year, The Makeup Show LA! If you're not familiar, this is a professional trade show for individuals in the beauty industry. Unlike other trade shows, this is geared towards working professionals and has much to offer for someone looking to expand their knowledge and network in the community.

The show actually used to be held in March but this year it's being held in November. The dates are Saturday, November 4, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm and Sunday, November 5, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm at the California Market Center in Downtown LA.

Unlike most other trade shows, they emphasize the opportunity to stock up your kit while also learning from those working in the industry without judgment.




Here are some of the offerings and some of my picks for brands to look out for at the show:

Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Smoldering Satin: Swatch and Review

I Purchased This Affiliate Links

(Just a reminder, don't forget to enter my blog hop giveaway for either a Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid or Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette or $40 Sephora/ULTA gift card so you're eligible for the $350 cash giveaway)

Hey everyone!

Today I have a swatch and review of the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Smoldering Satin. I saw a few posts about this online and swatched it in Sephora, but wasn't sure the formula would actually hold up without being a glittery mess. I ended up reading a few reviews praising the formula and that was enough for me to try it out.

These are a mix of glitter and eyeshadow suspended in a liquid medium, with some shades having a clear to sheer base (making it a great eyeshadow topper) and others having a more opaque base (for wearing on its own). Glitter is typically a very finicky product and loose glitter especially so. This seems to avoid most of the mess by having it mixed in one product.

It Cosmetics Confidence in Your Glow Face Palettes - Review and Swatches

I Purchased This Affiliate Links

Hey everyone!

Today I have a review on the It Cosmetics Confidence in Your Glow, a three-in-one highlighter, blush, and bronzer palette. These are marketed as a "Skin-Transforming Healthy Flush Blushing Bronzer". As a whole, It Cosmetics bases their brand on being a merge of both skincare and makeup, especially their choice to collaborate with plastic surgeons for many of their products.


What's interesting is that it promises your highlighter, blush, and bronzer in one sweep, yet the colors in the pan are running vertically/top to bottom instead of horizontally/left to right. Using a brush to sweep across left to right does a better job at blending the colors together instead of creating a gradient effect of highlighter, blush, and bronzer across your cheeks, but the color you get is still beautiful.

bareMinerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Bo$$ - Swatch and Review

I Purchased This Affiliate Links

Hey everyone! 

Today I have a review of the bareMinerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipcolor. I first heard about these liquid lip colors from EmilyNoel83 on Youtube and she touted them as an extremely comfortable liquid lip color.  I put off buying one until I saw that they were one of ULTA's Hot Buys during their 21 Days of Beauty event. Normally $19, they were $13 during the sale. I picked up Bo$$, described as a dirty pink beige.

The Gen Nude range includes sixty shades across four different product ranges meant to suit all different skin tones. Considering that most people think "beige" when they say nude, I was rather impressed with the variety of colors and formulas I saw.



bareMinerals says:
  • "this long-wearing matte liquid lipstick formula is primer-infused to help color stay in place and prevent feathering. With a velvety, lightweight feel it glides on with no pull and contains moisturizing ingredients to counteract the dryness associated with many matte lipsticks."
The brand makes some pretty big promises and I had high hopes and so I wanted to see if it was really all that different from other liquid lipstick formulas. To read my thoughts and see swatches, feel free to click through!
