Hey everyone!!
As I mentioned in my last post I just
celebrated my birthday and in my world my birthday lasts an entire
month. So that means lot's of new beauty products and lots of new
reviews, first impressions, and of course updates.
We're starting the fun with a good old
Sephora Haul.
Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion Twinkle ($29)
This is the newest highlighter from Benefit Cosmetics.
I already have the Dandelion Blush and love the shade which is soft nude pink, that I knew I had to have this before it even came out. It's definitely the perfect everyday highlight as it's more subtle on the face.
In the shade Light.
I set my face every time I put any kind of foundation on and even when I don't wear much makeup I usually have on some kind of BB and powder.
Guess what that means? This bitch goes through powders (and foundations) pretty quick.
So when I heard about a powder that's completely translucent, blurring, smoothing, and also perfect for baking (holy crap) you best believe I was all over it.
In the shade Petal.
This powder is made specifically for brightening the under eyes which is right up my alley because I have dark circles mostly on the inner to middle under eye, more like dark half circles hahaha and I'm all about brightening that shit up.
This purchase has been long over due.
When they released the refillable version it made it even more appealing, so I guess my procrastinating for so long ended up being a good thing.
Another long over due purchase.
This palette will definitely get a ton of use from me because not only am I a neutral whore but I love matte formulas and am fond of all matte eye looks.
This palette is also great in combination with other palettes that lack certain neutral shades.
(I apologize for those swatches above of this palette but it's 4 a.m. and I haven't been to bed yet)
(L to R - KVD Bow N Arrow, Smashbox Stepping Out, Smashbox Dream Huge)
(I placed the two nudes side by side so you can compare the swatches.
The KVD is more neutral which adds a touch of coolness as well as warmth to it's undertone and the Smashbox one has a warmer undertone. The KVD one is also slightly darker.)
In the shade Bow N Arrow
So I guess I kinda went nuts on Kat Von D products (lol) but what can I say, my collection was lacking. I really like the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick formula because it's not drying and super comfortable and that's why I continue to buy these.
I will say that it's not as long wearing as other liquid lipsticks even though it does dry down matte and I wouldn't wear this on days that I know I won't be able to reapply, this stuff literally wipes off with easily with a dry tissue so yeah that's kind of a bummer but the shades are so pretty. that usually it doesn't bother me.
In the shades Stepping Out & Dream Huge
These Smashbox liquid lipsticks are so freaking good.
They have a super light weight formula, they're richly pigmented, comfortable, and they last forever. These are one of my favorite high end liquid lipsticks but they do get pricey so I'm slowly adding to my collection.
Sephora Reward Birthday Gift (free)
I absolutely had to pick the makeup gift this year because not only is it Tarte, they're freaking nudes. This years gift consists of a deluxe Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in the shade Paaarty and a Tarteist Lip Paint in Birthday Suit. Both product shades are exclusive and made specifically for the Sephora Rewards Birthday Gift.

I feel like that Kat Von D palette has been staring at me for months. I don't really need more neutrals but like you I just bloody love them, can't get enough. haha

I know I procrastinated for months but finally gave in. It's beautiful and I regret nothing. 😩
