MAC's "Myth"

Today I'm reviewing my favorite lip product of the moment. MAC's Myth. I read online that this is the color Andrea Russett wears and I knew I had to get it! It's a nude color that makes your lips look like they would if you put concealer on them but the best part is that it doesn't dry your lips out like concealer. It's my go-to shade of the moment and I wear it almost every single day, and so I would recomment it to all of you as the perfect everyday color especially if you have thin lips like I do. The formula for MAC's lipsticks is indescribable. It's smooth and silky and feels so much better than any other lip stick I've ever owned. I love it so very much! This Lipstick is a satin finish. Which I really do like. It's not too glittery, but at the same time it isn't matte. As you can see I very obviously love this product. I can't think of any needed changes that would make the product any better. In my opinion it is the perfect everyday product, and a must have in everyone's makeup collection. I give MAC's "Myth" an A+. Thanks  you so much for reading!

Stila Lip Glazes- Jolly, Black Cherry, Holly, Joy, Sugar Plum, Splendor and Jingle

Hey beauties! Today I'm reviewing a ton of products. 7 Stila Lip Glazes total!  I recently bought a set if these after the holidays and I have been using them non-stop. But since the price tag on these is 22 dollars a piece, I thought I'd post a review telling you what I think of each. So you won't waist your Jackson on a lip gloss that just isn't worth it. I'm going to preface this review by saying the formula of these lip glosses are extremely sticky. So if that's a make it or break it for you. This is not your product. Okay! Let's get into it! 

 My favorite of the batch is Joy. I'm almost out (as you can see in the picture). And I never finish lip glosses. It's a hot pink lip gloss that I sometimes wear by it's self and sometimes over MAC's St. Germain. All of these glosses have tons of glitter in them and this one is no exception. Black Cherry is my second favorite. It's a dark purple color and probably the least glitter filled of the six. I usually look horrible in red lips but Holly actually looks good on me. It is highly pigmented and looks like your wearing lipstick! I love the name Sugar Plum but the color not so much. For me it's basically the same as my natural lip color. Splendor is also the same way. So I don't see much of a point. Both Jingle and Jolly are more of clear glosses with colored glitter, I wear Jingle over nude lipsticks and Jolly over pink ones. I do love both, but I wouldn't repurchase them if I ran out. Overall I give Stila a B+ for their lip glazes. However, my opinion would for sure change if the formula was less sticky. 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+.

Elle and Blair's Skylark "Snowkissed Cashmere" Palette

Around Christmas time, I bought the new "Snowkissed Cashmere" Palette by Elle and Blair, from their new makeup line Skylark. First of all let's talk about the packaging. It's adorable! The inside is trendy and cute with it's chandelier pattern, and the outside looks elegant and classy with it's purple ribbon, and metallic print. Before I talk about the actual product, I want to discuss the brush. I almost never use brushes when they come with palettes, but I absolutely adore this brush. Not only do I use it with this palette, but with every other makeup look I use. The dual sided feature makes it handy, because you can pack and blend without using two different things. The brush has soft bristles and feels high quality. Getting in to the actual colors, let's start with lace.

Lace is a Creamy white shade, obviously the hi-light eye shadow in the group. I actually really like this color. It's great to wear under the brows, but I wouldn't suggest it for inner corners. The three other neutral colors are all perfect as well. Nutmeg as you can tell from how little I have left is my favorite of the palette. And Blitzen is a great dupe for MAC's all that glitters. All of the shades blend together nicely, and are extremely pigmented. The only main issue I had is the same that I seem to have with Too Faced eye shadows, they for some reason, are slightly messy. You must make sure to tap off any excess before using them unless you want a sparkly face. The color "Shiver" in my opinion, could use some work in the pigmentation area. Ember is okay but I'm not a huge fan of burgundy eye shadows. "Satin Sparks" is supposed to be a face hi-lighter  I honestly don't like hi-lighter on me. Whenever I wear it I always just look like I accidentally got a bunch of eye shadow on my face. However, I have used this as an eye shadow a few times and I really like it. Overall, for the first palette in a line, I think this a great product. I'm excited to see what else Elle and Blair have in store for us. I give this Palette 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.
