As much of a makeup addict I am, I tend not to jump on the bandwagon and try new brands and products out immediately. I remember seeing Colourpop eyeshadows pop up in the online beauty community a few years ago and I just never got around to trying it out because in truth it seemed kind of over hyped.
Earlier this year or maybe even late last year, Nyx released a new line of lipsticks called the Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks. Before, I purchased them there were so many mixed reviews that made me think I may not like these products. But of course, being the hoarder I am, I ended up picking up a few of the colors and i instantly fell in love. These also retail for 6.99 and can be found at Ulta or on the Nyx Cosmetics Website.
I love experimenting with colors when it comes to makeup. A bright eye look can add a little something extra to a plain outfit or even add brightness to the face. One of my makeup resolutions for this year was to experiment even more with color and using the products I already have in my makeup arsenal instead of going out and buying everything new that comes out.
Sunday is by far my favorite day of the week for relaxing. I usually make it a point to not do anything on Sunday except brunch and maybe a little meal prep for the week so I don't have to cook everyday. This past Sunday was no exception; I literally slept in until like 2pm and then decided to get out to do some shopping at the grocery store. A lot of the time, makeup is the last thing on my mind when trying to run errands, but I decided to throw together this look to look semi put together before I left the house.
One of the great things about Spring and Summer is the opportunity to wear less makeup. My makeup routine changes drastically in the summer because the humidity in New Orleans is like no other. I typically skip on foundation, unless its a special occasion and go for concealer and powder instead. I often also skip out on eye shadow and go for colored liners and highlighter in the inner corner and on my cheek bones.
This past weekend, I decided to try out some of the new products that have just been kind of sitting on my vanity for the past month or so. I placed an order with Colourpop about a month ago and was waiting for a chance to get to use the shade "Too Shy". Words cannot express how beautiful this color is. It's a Glittery true blue shade. The pictures really do it no justice.
As a frequenter timeline scroller on Instagram, I see sooooo many products I feel like I want to try. I know its not really possible to try everything but when I saw the product I am going to show you all today I had to have it no matter the price. The BH cosmetics Foiled eyeshadow palette kept popping up and after watching a few reviews, I decided to test it out myself.
Spring is that time of year, where I start to incorporate color into my virtually all black winter wardrobe. Blush is that make up item that can really tie a look together and give the perfect flush of color.
Although I didn't get to blog much in March because of work, I still wore makeup almost everyday. I also bought so many new products this month and I all of them that I have tried so far. I honestly don't have a lot of products that I hate because I am very selective on what I spend my money on. I definitely want to take more chances as the year progresses and I was also thinking about subscribing to a few Monthly subscription boxes to be able to speak to a larger variety of things (Drop your favorite boxes in the comments below)
Over the past few weeks, I've been real MIA from posting on this blog because work and grown up problems have been taking up so much of my time, but I'm back and I'm so excited to put out more content showing off my recent beauty obsessions.
