Review | L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC Cream

There's nothing I hate more than wearing a heavy foundation in the summer. I don't like the feeling like you're wearing a thick mask, and then you have to worry about how your foundation is going to look throughout the day. When it comes to bases for the summer, I always favor those with light/medium coverage since they tend to feel much lighter on the skin. I've tried a fair number of BB and CC creams in the past, but I have to be completely honest and say that I haven't been that impressed. I rarely see the skincare benefits and the most of them have lacked in coverage. When I first heard about the L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC Cream, I became very intrigued to see a skincare company's version of a CC cream. This CC cream contains peony extract which has skin perfecting qualities that are supposed to even skin tone and make it appear more radiant. In this blog post you'll find both my first impression review, and a more in depth review which includes comparison pictures.

Marc Jacobs #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder vs. Wet n Wild Color Icon Contouring Palette

Welcome to the very first Beauty Battle! Facing off in this battle is the very luxurious Marc Jacobs #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder and the affordable Wet n Wild Color Icon Contouring Palette. How will they compare? Will they easily blend out? Will they look natural on my skin? What about the texture? There's a lot of thought that goes into comparing a drugstore product to a high-end one, but you can't deny that they look very similar. In this battle you'll see me apply each product on my face, and at the very end I will be crowning the first winner. Do I have anyone who's willing to place a bet?

Posh Party Round 2

Let's start this evening blog post with a little story. A little over 2 years ago I was starting out this blog, I didn't know anyone who was also a blogger, and I would still get very anxious meeting new people. When I saw that Poshmark was going to be having an event, I decided to build up the courage to go to the event alone and meet other bloggers. Little did I know that I would meet some incredible people that night. Well Poshmark came back for round 2 and you know that I wasn't going to miss out on another Poshmark event. The best part of all? I got to enjoy the event worry free with my blogger friends! And I even got to meet some new faces too!

New Maybelline Lip Products | Swatches + Review

It seems Maybelline has been hard at work rolling around new products for the summer. This past weekend when I went to Walmart, I noticed a few new lip products from the brand which made me very excited. I got so excited that I began Snapchatting in front of the Maybelline displays at Walmart so I could share all these new products with my followers. Among the new releases are 10 brand new shades of their very popular Color Sensational Creamy Mattes lipsticks. The Baby Lips range also welcomed their first non-lip balm product in the United States in the form of the Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Gloss. And finally Maybelline released the Color Blur by LipStudio Cream Matte Pencil & Smudgers, which is inspired by the reverse gradient trend which is incredibly popular in Korea. In this blog post you'll get to see Maybelline's brand new lip product releases, swatches, and also get reviews on each product!

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks

By now you all know what a huge lipstick addict I am. I easily have over 100 tubes of lipstick in my collection, and there's definitely no sign of stopping any time soon. Lipstick is the one makeup item that makes me feel like I can take over the world, and the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks certainly make me feel that way. These lipsticks have been available in the UK for some months now, and most recently were released for a limited time back in April in the United States. But don't you worry because the lipsticks will become permanent in North America come September and they will also become available at Nordstrom. I think it's time to start saving your pennies, because once you buy a Matte Revolution Lipstick you'll definitely want a few more.
