Play by Sephora Subscription Box | September 2015

Sephora recently came out with their own subscription box! I was put on a to waitlist and later received an email that I could subscribe it! The subscription is $10 and will feature sample's from products sold at Sephora, which is not a bad deal. You will also receive other bonuses that you will be able to redeem in store, like extra points and makeovers. This subscription is not catered to what skin color, or skin type you have, so everyone will be recieving the same items, which can be a bit conflicting.  If you're interest make sure to get on the wait list for next month! 

Review | Colourpop Beeper & Clueless Ultra Matte Lip

   When Colourpop announced new colors I was ecstatic because the colors looked gorgeous! I ordered them as soon as they came out. I purchased Beeper which is described as a "warm mid-tone taupe" and Clueless which is described as "dusty mauve pink." Beeper is my favorite out the whole collection(which is saying a lot), it is a pinkish brown nude color which is my current obsession, Clueless is more pink on me which I was hoping it would be a bit darker. The formula is still the same. It is very drying so moisturizing is ideal. Although some colors feel more drying than others. Clueless was definitely more drying than Beeper. It almost feels like chalk on the lips, but it is very long wearing. The Colourpop Ultra Matte Lipsticks retail for $6, which won't break the bank, so it may be worth the try if you're interested in them. Also you cannot beat their amazing color selection! They are set to come out with more colors as well!

Haul | Nordstrom, Sephora, Colourpop, and Ulta

Sorry once again for going MIA, I recently started uni again and it is crazy already! So the small break I do have I usually am doing homework or trying to maintain a social life lol, but I'm going to try and blog as much as I can! Anyways over the past few months, I've accumulated a couple of of makeup bits and a few fashion bits as well!

From ColourPop I picked up their two of their liquid lipsticks, from their most recent launch of new colors. I snagged Beeper and Clueless (will be doing a more in-depth review on those two), and a highlighter in the shade Butterfly Beach which retails for $8! It is a beautiful peachy gold shade and is to die for! 

From Sephora I picked up one of their concealers, Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer which I've heard is very comparable to the Nars concealer but for half the price! It retails for $14 and has quickly become my favorite concealer! I also picked up a new moisturizer, because my previous one (Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion) was leaving my skin too oily. I was recommended the Korres Pomegrante Cream-Gel Moisturizer and it is AMAZING! If you have oily skin you NEED this in your life! It is a mattifying moisturizer and it leaves your skin feeling plump and youthful! I also picked up an eye mask (which I have yet to try)!

Review | NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick

Sorry I haven't been posting regularly BUT I'm back with another liquid lipstick post!

NYX recently launched another version of their liquid lipsticks. The suede cream lipstick came out in 12 different colors. The difference between their soft matte lip cream and their suede cream liquid lipstick is that their suede liquid lipstick is more creamier and less drying than the soft matte lip cream!

I only picked up two colors in the shades "Soft Spoken" and "Vintage."

Soft Spoken is described as a mauve nude and Vintage is described as a plum with mauve undertones. These retail for $7! The formula is very comfortable and it is long wearing!

"Bow N Arrow" Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick | Review

Kat Von D recently came out with 15 new colors for Fall of 2015! She came out with an array of colors from lilac to navy to black and everything in between. 

A while back, when I first discovered her line I was browsing the new and came across Bow N Arrow, and was disappointed that it wasn't available for purchase. Luckily it is now a permanent color in the collection! 

Bow N Arrow is described as a fawn nude. It is definitely a nude but with mauve undertones! I was scared it was going to wash me out, but it is beautiful! The formula is still the same, creamy formula, that dries to matte. I will say it is a bit more drying, but not overbearing. ...

Haul | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015

Every year a lot of people anticipate the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's huge because a lot of designer's get marked down a bit and they are in season as well. I'm a Nordstrom cardholder, so I had early access before the public. I only picked up two items from the sale and a couple of skincare products that weren't part of the sale but I'll save that from another post ...
