Is It Worth It? Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette Review!

by 6 Comments

PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY ME!I’m a complete sucker for high-end eye shadows. I often feel the pigmentation warrants the money and when MARC JACOBS launched his makeup line at Sephora I knew I had to try it. I personally had high expectations for this palette after seeing some positive reviews. However after testing this palette and forming my opinion I have to say that I don’t feel it is worth the price. Is it fancy looking yes, but is the pigmentation good? Not really.

I guess I set my expectations super high for this one, which may be why I felt, disappointed. The first thing that I noticed is that the 4th and 5th shade is almost identical. The matte shadows are really soft but not as pigmented as I would like. If the mattes were the only shades in the palette I think I would have been more pleased, however the glitter shades are nothing less than a mess. I am use to working with glitters and I find even with the best mixing mediums and glitter glue it becomes so messy. If I had to rate this palette I would give it a C and this good of a rating due to how nice the packaging is on this palette.

Enough of my chatter, let’s look at some swatches! Even in the picture you can see flecks of glitter fall out everywhere, which frustrated me more than anything! Dear Lolita…I really wanted to love you!

Why have I not returned it? Simply this is due to the fact that I am trying to make myself love it. The bottom line is that I don’t think this palette is anything special. After months of having it my opinion has not changed. I hope that I soon find a way to love it, but I don’t see this in any way as being a palette worth the price point. Now I want to make it clear that this is just my opinion and many people truly love this palette, however this one in my opinion is just not worth it.

BECCA Blushes Review!

by 2 Comments

Becca oh Becca! Of course being somewhat beauty obsessed I am a sucker for blushes! If you look in my makeup collection, blushes and eyeshadows completely dominate. I admit like most beauty lovers I first discovered Becca’s highly coveted highlighters. Due to how much I love Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfectors (highlighters), I knew that I had to try a few of their blushes. I do own most of the ones they make and I can say that these are all amazing! Take a look for yourself!

BECCA BLUSH 1

BECCA 3The packaging almost looks like a tortoise shell. This really is my only complaint. Not that I think they are not pretty but the way the top sticks out further than the rest makes it more difficult to store these if you have a ton of makeup like myself. This is in no way a deal breaker and I still can’t help but love these blushes!BECCA 2

As you can see the colors are simply divine and they blend effortlessly into the skin. I have to say that if you are someone who is heavy-handed you must be careful with these or you could easily end up having a clown face. Partly this is why I love it! I find blushes sometimes don’t show up as my skin gets darker throughout the year and I find these blush are easily seen on my face throughout the year.

Saying this I don’t mean that they look ridiculous, but they add the perfect touch to the cheeks to really bring them out! Overall these blushes rank in my top 3 blush formulas! I simply love them and know that you will too! Make sure you check out one or a few of these if you are in the market to build your blush collection. You can now get these also at Ulta, which is amazing! Let me know what your thoughts are on these? Have you tried them?

Colour Pop Cosmetics Review

Colour Pop? I’m sure if you keep up in the world of beauty then you have heard of this company. I admit I have had these products to review for a few months, but due to the long list of products I have to review I am just getting to these! I am a sucker to cheap alternatives to the high-end makeup I obsess over. When I came across these I was super excited to try them!

CP INTRO 2

These have been raved about all on YouTube for months and for good reason! The texture of the shadows are so different, they are not really cream nor are they powder. Their unique texture and high pigmentation set them apart in the world of beauty. Also something that impressed me was the high level of care Coulour Pop exhibited when packing these products. The shadows are super soft which makes them easy to break and thus require this level of care. As you can see in these picture they took a lot of effort in making these get to me in one piece.

CP INTRO 1

Let’s talk shadows! I am mostly a neutrals kind of girl, but I decided to take this opportunity to step out of my comfort zone. Are these not gorgeous? I will link each shade below the picture and I highly suggest you check these out. Not only are they highly pigmented and unique, but they also are super affordable! These are Colour Pop’s Super Shock Pressed Pigments.

Interested in purchasing one or more of these? Just click the name below the picture of the color you are interested in. These are all wonderful and add a bit of glamour to the eye. Next let’s talk a bit about lippie sticks! I must say the texture of these is marvelous. These mainly are a satin finish. Let’s look at some swatches shall we!

Lippie Sticks: Flawless & Bichette

These are not super drying and I am in love with the color and texture. Best part of all is they are great quality and only $5 each! To me these are worth much more and I love the fact they roll up, so you don’t have the mess of sharpening them. Interested in these then just click the name of the shade below the picture to purchase!

Colour Pop is pretty spectacular in my opinion! They are still adding new products to their product line and collaborating with tons of beauty gurus. I did purchase these with my on money and due to them being so amazing I plan on purchasing many more. I am super interested in their new blushes! Have you tried Colour Pop Cosmetics? What products do you recommend checking out?
