MAC's "Sketch" Velvet Eyeshadow


Hello Lovelies!! I haven't posted in a long time! I have been so so so busy with my musical! Today I'm coming at you with a review talking about MAC's sketch. This eye shadow is actually a purple eye shadow, but I wear it everyday. I wear all that glitters on my lid and nutmeg from my skylark palette in the crease and very obviously sketch in my outer corner! It's also really pretty when worn with sable, because it brings out the beautiful purple undertones in it.However you can also through it with some pinks and purples and make it a colorful night time look. I love the fact that its a versatile shade. I also love the color, its such a gorgeous purple brown, at first when looking at a swatch you would think its brown but then you realize it's purple. This color is a velvet finish witch means it goes on very soft and has a soft look to it, it also means that it it slightly more matte. I also enjoy MAC eye shadows because they don't have horrible fallout like Urban Decay and Too Faced Eye shadows do. I have no big complaints about the sketch, except for maybe the 11-15 dollar price tag. So I give MAC's "Sketch" an A.

Too Faced "Sun Bunny" Bronzer


Hey guys! With it finally warming up I thought I'd review a more summery product. So today's post is about Too Faced Cosmetics "Sun Bunny" bronzer. As you can see in the picture, Its a dual sided product with a darker shade and a lighter shade. Okay first of all. I love the packaging of Too Faced products because of the amazing mirror. It's a great size and quality. Getting into the actual product, I love the dual sided nature of the product. It makes it multi-functional. You can swirl the two together for a medium color, use the darker for a darker color, and the lighter for a lighter color. You can also make half of your brush the lighter color and half of it the darker too eliminate the need for blush and highlighter. The product itself is for sure welly pigmented. As I seem to say about every Too Faced product, it's super important too tap off the excess, because other wise, the product will be all over your face. That is the one thing I don't like about this brand. I wear this bronzer year round, the darker color in the summer and the lighter in the winter. I think it's the perfect bronzer to buy because of that feature. It can be used no matter what skin tone you are! I would for sure recommend this product too all of you first time bronzer wearers. I give Too Faced's "Sun Bunny" bronzer a B+ Because of the fall out. Thanks for reading!

Too Faced Shadow Insurance "Candlelight"

I'm typically not a huge fan of colored eye primers. The ones I've had in the past haven't really added anything to my eye shadow, but lately I have been using this colored eye primer by Too Faced Cosmetics. I like this product a lot! It adds a gold glitter to your eye and give is a sheen like you would imagine of a candle, hence the name. I still don't think colored eye primers make that huge of a difference in an eyeshadow look, but I like this one more than all the others I have tried. I give this a B.

Urban Decay Naked Foundation

Urban Decay's naked line has deffinetly been successful. Ever since they first released their naked palette, the brand has grown in popularity. Now, three naked palettes later, they decided to expand the brand beyond just eyeshadow. Their newest addition-a foundation. Being a fan of the Naked palettes, I knew I had to buy this when I ran out of the foundation I was using. I bought this on the day after Christmas, and it's now the 10th of March, I've used the product almost every day, some times more than once a day, and I still have a few days worth of product left. So, if your looking for a product that will last, this is  great for you! It comes in quite a few shades, so I think that's always a good thing. If your foundation doesn't match your skin, they'res not much point in wearing it. I'm currently in shade 4.5, because I stay pretty tan, even in the winter. However, for most people I wouldn't suggest that as a good winter time shade. I'm pretty pleased with this product. It goes on well and offers great coverage. I think I would rate it medium-high on the coverage scale. I would not place it exactly at high, however. I did enjoy this product, but I don't think I will repurchase it. I think I'm more of a fan of cream foundations instead of liquid. They always seem to offer better coverage for me. I really enjoy the packaging on this product. It's sleek and looks expensive. I also enjoy the pump, it dispenses the currect amount of product, unlike a lot of other product pumps-the benefit stay don't stray pump is a great example. Overall I give the product a B+.

MAC St. Germain Lipstick

Hello Everyone! I'm so sorry about not posting in forever! I've been so super busy with the holidays and just life in general! Anyways today I'm back with a new post about my favorite lip product of the moment! This is a lipstick made by MAC cosmetics called St. Germain. I actually got this, because they no longer sell the viva glam gaga lipsticks anymore, and the lady working at my local MAC told me this was a good alternative for it, so for all my fellow viva glam gaga fans, who want more of their favorite lipstick, but have ran out, this is for you! Anyways MAC never ceases too amaze me. The color is very pigmented, the texture is smoothe and doesn't dry out your lips, and the color is gorgeous! Now, if you do not like bright lips, this will not be your lipstick, this one is very bright and pigmented! I put it on the center of my lips and blend it out, either wise its just too bright! It's great for a girls night out, or even for a daily color! Because this shade may not be for everyone I give this lipstick an A, but in my personal opinion, I give it an A+. Thanks for reading!

Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara

My favorite makeup brand is either MAC or Too Faced. I haven't used a product of either that I didn't love! So I'm sure you know how I feel about today's product! Anyways, today I'm reviewing Too Faced "Lashgasm" mascara. First of all, the bush on this mascara is different than your typical brush. The bristles are shorter and sharper, and more strait. I love brushes like this! They hold the product well, and distribute it perfectly, making your lashes long and voluminous. The formula, is absolutely wonderful! As I said before, this mascara makes your lashes voluminous and long! It goes on easy and only takes one or two coats, depending on how much mascara you like too wear. My personal preference is 2 coats. The packaging is not my favorite, nor is the name, but that's a small price too pay for such a great product! My grade for Too Faced "Lashgasm" mascara is an A.
