Makeup Looks + First Impressions: My Almay Face

So I’m not sure if it’s just me, but Almay has been changing up their look. Early on in my makeup journey, I had a couple of things from Almay, but to tell you the truth, they kind of blend in with all the other drugstore brands. From their recent look and feel, you can tell they are trying to differentiate themselves as ‘cleaner and hypoallergenic’. They’ve always been sort of about this, but with the recent clean beauty trends, they are definitely putting that more front and centre. Today I have a few new-to-me/ newish-to-me products from Almay that I put together into a look. Can’t wait to show you my thoughts!

Review: Sephora Collection Hot Line Brush Tip Liquid Liner

Sephora Collection Hot Line Brush Tip Liquid Liner

I always love to try new liquid brush tip liners. I feel more and more companies are coming out with brush tips compared to felt tips. I never understood the hype. I find felt tips uncomfortable, harder to use and I never get a solid line from them. The Kat Von D Tattoo Liner has been my ride or die for quite some time now, so when the Sephora Collection Hot Line Brush Tip Liquid Liner released, I was so interested in trying it. Do I have a new holy grail?

Review: Indie Lee Discovery Kit

Hi there! Today, i’m breaking down the Indie Lee Discovery Kit. Indie Lee is completely new to me post the event that I attended with clean beauty boutique, Bloom Beauty. You can see my event recap of that over here. When I was at the event for a mini facial, they had used Indie Lee products and I was super impressed! I’ve been using these products consistently for a month, so I feel like I have a good grasp of them now.

First Impressions: Almay Spring 2019

I was recently sent a whole wack of (relatively) new Almay products, and I’ve been playing with them for the last couple of days! Wanted to show you what was worth the money, and things that I wasn’t too thrilled with. The collection of these products definitely have a ‘festival’ vibe in my opinion, with metallics and glitters! I’m super excited to show you what’s what!

Review: Hard Candy Glitteratzi Press and Play Lip Colour + Swatches

Hi folks! Hope everyone is having a great holiday season! I was recently sent a surprise package that contained the whole collection of the fairly new Hard Candy Glitteratzi Press and Play lip colours. When I first saw these floating around social media I was so curious about them. The lip colour applies matte but with a press of your lips, it’s supposed to turn to glitter. I’m all about glitter, especially during the holiday season, so I couldn’t wait to try these out. I have full swatches of all the colours too!

Review: Fancii Tria Tri-Fold Vanity Mirror

My beauty room is really coming along and I can’t wait to show you in a full post soon! Today though, I have a small part of the room, my mirror! Fancii (the same company that sent me the Rhea Facial Brush) also generously sent through the Tria Tri Fold Mirror when they heard I was setting up a beauty room. I’ve always used my full dresser mirror at my parents house, but now that I have a full desk set up, a tabletop mirror was necessary!

First Impressions: Urban Decay Born to Run Palette (Swatches)

When I was closing on my house, the last thing I was thinking about was new makeup. And during that time, there were no releases that I got particularly excited about. Except this one. When I first saw the Urban Decay Born to Run palette I was instantly pulled in. I love that it had an even amount of mattes, metallics, neturals and colours! I can wait to show you my thoughts!

Review: LANEIGE BB Cushion Hydra Radiance

LANEIGE BB Cushion Hydra Radiance

With the insurgence of K-beauty into the mainstream, there have been cushions, cushions, cushions everywhere! Funny enough, I don’t have very many cushion products in my collection! Due to this, I was very excited to try the new LANEIGE BB Cushion Hydra Radiance foundation! I’ve used a couple of LANEIGE skincare items, but never a foundation! I’ve been using this for a bit of time and can definitely share my opinion on it!
