Hi Friends! This is Chelsee! I am so into DIY projects and time I saw Maggie’s Cedar window boxes, I knew I had to share them! In my opinion window boxes can really spruce up the appearance of your home. What drew me in was that anything that could go wrong did go wrong. The personality that leaps off the screen had me relating to this situation all too well. Needless to say, I am very happy to see someone else shares my frustrations. Maggie also posted beautiful pictures of her project! This post actually prompted me to make my local nursery shopping list! Thanks so much to all of your for linking up such amazing posts.

Colour Pop: Eye Shadow Review!

by 2 Comments

Happy Thursday! How has life been treating you? I know I have slacked on my posting schedule but I am hoping that will all pick up soon! I have undertaken a big adventure of becoming a Presenter for Younique. I can’t wait to talk more about this in future posts and give you some insight into the brand. If you would like access to the Facebook group just comment down below! So look forward to make posts to come. Moving on to today’s post!

Finding high quality eye shadows can be difficult, but in recent history you can find them online with a few brands I would call affordable. Colour Pop recent released pressed shadows that are really inexpensive. Considering the price the quality of the shadows comes into question. Well in a recent Colour Pop order I decided to pick up a few shadows and have thoroughly tested them out and am ready to dish on the quality and if they are worth the price!

I picked up the Hi-Maintenance kit that contains 4 shadows. I also picked up 4 individual shadows to test out in the shades: Popular Demand, Top Notch, Bel Air, and Going Steady. All of the pressed shadows retail for $5.

Popular Demand-Rich dark brown with warm reddish undertones. Mostly matte to slightly satin finish.
Top Notch-Deep reddish warm brown with a matte finish. Creamy even finish.
Bel Air-Subtle medium brown with warm undertones and matte finish.
Going Steady-Intense dark berry with cool tones and a satin finish. This shade is really buildable to increase opaqueness.

Hi-Maintenance Limited Edition and retails for $18 and comes with .02 oz of product.
Just in Time-Warm gold with frost finish. This is a permanent shade and retails for $5
High Strung-Warm brown with a frost finish. This shade is permanent and retails for $5
Get Out-Warm Red with a creamy matte finish. This shade is permanent and retails for $5
Cute Alert-Warm brown with a creamy matte finish. This shade is permanent and retails for $5

Overall the shades are gorgeous and pigmented. I typically hone in on matte shades because typically those tell the tale of if the shadows are hot or not. All shimmers and mattes are pigmented, longwearing, super creamy and really great quality for the price. These shades are nothing special as some compare closely to shadows from other brands. These shades are super buttery, especially the mattes which says a lot about this brand.

I do have 2 issues with these shadows. There is a ton of kickback when you tap your brush in the pans. Also if you aren’t careful to knock off any excess then you will end up with a mess on your face. Overall these are not big deals to me, and I would really recommend these shadows.

Have you tried any Colour Pop shadows? Which are your favorites?

Hi Friends! Tiffany here. You had me at kale. I love this idea for a pizza crust recipe from Tales of a Tired Mom! This recipe looks amazing, but I am a total nut over kale (I eat a kale salad almost daily- with chia seeds and lemon juice + EVOO- SO GOOD!). I have got to try this ASAP.

Weekend Happenings, life Update & Big Announcement!

by Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! Wow can you believe we are now in April! So far this year is flying by. Might as well buckle up and set your sights on the scenery because there is not stopping it right? How was your weekend? Mine was rather interesting. I spent Saturday doing prom makeup followed by planning out my new business adventure. Sunday always flies by so quickly! I spent the afternoon sanitizing all the makeup products and washing all brushes used on Saturday. I fully clean my kit before and after makeup jobs. It was so much fun turning 18 year olds into models. No joke I received several more bookings from just doing prom makeup. So let’s just let the cat out of the bag. I bring news of change in my life.

If you follow me on any of my social media accounts then you may know this already. However, about a week ago I became an Independent Presenter for Younique. After much thought and advice I accepted an offer and took the plunge. What does that mean? Well basically I am just going to share products from Younique that I love. I am not a product pusher nor will I ever be. I am simply a product sharer and have been for years, predating this blog. Don’t worry this blog will never solely focus on just one brand. It just means that I started a small business talking about a brand I love. Not only for the amazing skincare, makeup, etc but for the causes they support.

As a beauty blogger I am excited to share with you even more products that I love. The difference is with all Younique products I will have a link for you to shop all Younique products from my site. Getting to my new site! My Younique site is called Just Glam It up! Pretty appropriate right? Well in each post I will link products that take you to one page instead of being sent to multiple stores like in some posts. I have to say that even though I am just getting into this role I am loving the sweet support and encourage from my sponsor and all of my Makeup Mogul friends!

I would like to mention this huge deal I am able to offer this month! I am all about saving money and this month and with limited quantities you can get the Flawless Four Collection. Look at the before and after below! Seriously amazing products!
The Flawless Four collection includes:

  • A Touch Mineral Liquid Foundation (your choice of shade)
    A Touch Mineral Skin Perfecting Concealer (your choice of shade)
    A Glorious Face Primer
    A Liquid Foundation Brush

April’s Huge Younique Deal: Flawless Four Collection!

Get it all for $99 a save $40!

 


This is pretty much what is new in my life! I know posts have been all over the place, but that’s something I hope will change. I do plan on posting more, doing Facebook lives, and doing more makeup tutorials in the coming weeks. I am getting back to what I love, which entails all things Beauty. Life is so wonderful right now and I am so glad to have you all here to share it. I wanted to explain what is going on and share what is to come so that you all are in the loop.

So enough about me! What’s new in your life? Watched any great movies lately? How was the weekend? Thank so much for stopping by! If you are interested in learning more about Younique just click here. Hope you all have a great week!

Chanel CAMÉLIA de Chanel Illuminating Powder Review

by 1 Comment

Following Trendmood1 on instagram is downright dangerous for a beauty lover’s bank account. However, though the price of some of the lavish retail therapy shopping trip I still contend to browse this instagram profile multiple times a day looking at all the newest in beauty. Seriously if you love beauty then you need to head over and follow this profile now!

A few weeks ago I was browsing and say the Chanel Illuminating Powder was available before it actually launched. Not like I needed another highlighter but seriously this is hands down gorgeous. Seriously like Fairy dust. Chanel Camelia De Chanel Illuminating Powder is one to marvel at. I truly hated to even swatch it due to how beautiful it is, but after knocking some sense into my self I swatched it then fell in love.

Let me preface with you have to love glittery highlights to like this one. The shade is simply divine and will work on my skins. I have used this as a blush topper and highlighter. It continues to amaze me at how beautiful it looks on the skin. Depending on which brush you use you can achieve a subtle glow to intense highlight.

Chanel CAMÉLIA de Chanel Illuminating Powder ($70.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a light, golden beige with warm undertones and a soft, sparkling sheen. There is both fine more luminous shimmer and slightly larger sparkles. There is more noticeable sparkles in this product than others on the market. Typically I recommend being careful with these because super sparkly shimmer can emphasize large pores and texture. However, I can’t help but want to do a full face highlighter challenge with this one.

I think the pigmentation is spot on and it holds up well with my oily skin. On my skin to blends into the skin well and seriously gives my skin the goddess glow. I get so many compliments on my makeup when I wear this highlight. I will say it’s easy to go a bit crazy with this one so I wouldn’t recommend using with a heavy hand. I had a swatch picture that is coming soon, I couldn’t find the one I took so will be reshooting it.

Yes it is very pricey at $70 for .21 oz of product, but I feel it’s unique enough to be worth the price. The rose shape in the packaging is very high-end. You really don’t have to use a ton so I feel this product will last a long time. I feel that due to the shade and quality of this highlight it is worth it. I have heard some say the glitter is too much, but to me with correct application it’s just right. Just take a moment, isn’t it gorgeous? Have you tried this highlighter? What are your thoughts? It appears it is sold out but keep your eyes out for this one!
