ColourPop Makeup Haul!

Last week I put in my first ever ColourPop order! I have to say, it was one of those days where I was watching YouTube videos, saw some Instagram pics and then finally just decided to try their stuff!

The makeup arrived really quickly and I was so impressed with the packaging! I also love the thank you note and the printed booklet telling me how to care for my products and how to use them effectively. 

Lunch Money & Smokin' Whistles

I had head lots about the 'Super Shock Cheek' before. Bloggers rave about the highlight range from ColourPop! I picked up these two shades. I really like 'Lunch Money' because I'm really pale...so it doesn't make me look like I'm trying to be a bronzed goddess. Smokin' Whistles is a little more golden, but still looks great.

Liberty, Tassel & Weenie

The ColourPop Super Shock Shadows are so pigmented and creamy! I am officially in love. I chose these colors as I was going for a silver look this weekend with a pop of white. I picked 'Weenie' because it just looks so golden and wonderful! Maybe for a day when I have a bit of a tan!

I picked up the Ultra Matte Lips in the colors Lumiere 2 and Trap. I had no idea how these would look on my skin tone and I have to say on my lips, they look completely different to the swatches! But I love the formula, I love how classy these colors look. They really helped complete my birthday outfits this last weekend.

Finally, I picked out the matching Lippie Liner in Lumiere and a creme gel liner.The lip liner looks great on its own under some gloss as well as with the liquid lipsticks I picked up. I am yet to use the eyeliner but I know it will really make my blue/green eyes pop.

I cannot wait to visit the ColourPop website again and get even more wonderful products!

Have a beauty-full day!

Mini Sephora Haul!

This is truly going to be a 'mini' haul! I picked up sample sized products that I really wanted to try again and I also received my Sephora birthday treat which is a mini Marc Jacobs lipstick and eyeliner.

The Benefit They're Real mascara is definitely one of my favorites! I've mentioned before that I already have long lashes...so anything that will make them longer, darker and more voluminous is a winner in my eyes! This has everything I need in a mascara...I really should just invest in the full size!

Urban Decay de-slick Makeup Setting Spray is my favorite setting spray of the moment! Last week I tried out the Nyx Matte Finish Spray and was just not 'wowed'. So I went back to Sephora to re-purchase the Urban Decay version. 

I've figured out that my skin is a little bit oily lately and I hate packing on powder to set my foundation. This really does make my makeup stay all night and I don't seem to get those oily patches that ruin my life!

The Marc Jacobs mini set was my birthday gift from Sephora. I really like how creamy the lipstick is and I haven't fully tried the gel eyeliner yet...I will do a mini-review on my Instagram soon.

Have a beauty-full day!

Target Beauty Box Time! February 2016

Here we go again! The latest Target Beauty Box sold out so fast but I so lucky to get my hands on one...

This month the box was filled with goodies! There were 10 products and I believe Target quoted a $28 value (the box is $7!).

I am still working on trying everything but here are my quick thoughts.

• Soapbox Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner - I wasn't wowed by this. I don't really like coconut that much but my hair just felt normal and maybe even drier than usual after using this.

• Mayfair Soap Foundry Body Creme - this smells amazing and is very moisturizing!
• Skinfix Lip Repair Balm - my lips are so chapped right now so this came at the right time. I love that this is unscented. I also think it's really helping my lips repair.
• Derma e Hydrating Night Creme - this also smells amazing! I mean so good! I've only used for a couple of nights but seems to be hydrating.

• L'oreal Boost It Air Blown Texture Mist - I used this once and it really does give my hair a boost! My hair is so fine and I love anything that will plump up the roots and generally give my hair more texture.
• Laneige BB Cushion sample - I received this last month too and either the shade is wrong or this product oxidizes on me. It has fantastic coverage though.
• Vera Wang Embrace Eau de Toilette sample - I am the BIGGEST Vera Wang perfume fan and this will be another favorite for my collection. It's not a sweet as Princess but is definitely beautiful and I would say is a more grown up, sophisticated scent.

The box also came with Incoco Nail Polish strips and an EcoTools Bath Pouf. I haven't tried these out yet but am looking forward to them.

Thanks Target for another amazing box! I will let readers know as soon as the next box comes out (if I'm quick enough). 

Have a beauty-full day!
