Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronze Compact

Baked Blush Bronze Compact; 'Ritual - warm bronze with light pink shimmer' (description from sephora website) 


This is actually a very nice blush.  At first I wasn't too sure this would work as a blush but surprisingly it does!

It can also be used by the temples of your face and to contour.  Don't be afraid of the pink in the baked  blush it is very subtle, not visible at all once applied to the face.

I am a medium skin tone and it gave my checks a nice warm healthy glow.  However I found i had to layer this several times to get the pigment to show on me.  If you are darker skinned you will definitely have to layer. 

I think this would work best OVER a pretty pink or peachy cream blush.

Retails for 36- US dollars

NOTE: If you have sensitive skin this product states it is 'dermatologically and allergy tested to minimize the risk of allergy and irritation.

MAC HAUL



swatches
































WET AND WILD HAUL





















Rite Aid had Wet&Wild products 40% OFF!!!

Wet&Wild is already super affordable so I couldn't resist. 

All these products are incredibly pigmented, especially the blush you definitely need to use it with a light hand.  

The shadows and blush are lovely, creamy and blend nicely.  

Although the lipsticks are pigmented,  these are very dry and drag on the lips.  NO BUENO

Mac Sheen Supreme Lipstick

MAC'S SHEEN SUPREME LIPSTICK
COLOR:  BARE AGAIN  a pinky neutral beige








  Definitely looks like a pinky beige swatched on the hand




However on the lips the color is less pigmented.  I am medium warm skin toned and have pretty pigmented lips

Packaging is small, compact and sturdy.  The Sheen Supreme's are moisturizing, creamy and glide on the lips.  I love reapplying them for that reason.

HELLO KITTY TOKYO POP ROLLERGLOSS

I was sure this was a roller ball perfume... DUH NO! Its a super cool roller ball lipgloss! Like the kind I remember from my cool 80's childhood.  

Is it the best lipgloss? NO! Is it a must have for any Hello Kitty luvr? YES! 

It's a Sephora exclusive, limited edition.  Retails for 18 US dollars.  Check it out here... Sephora

The packaging is very sturdy, good quality. The gloss itself is SHEER so would be a neat little gift for a younger child and of course the young at heart like me!!!!!  Its not sticky and smells like strawberry shortcake.

THE END I LOVE IT!

Hello Kitty Tokyo Pop Eyeshadow Palette


"Hello Kitty returns with a new spring collection inspired by tales from her escapades in Tokyo. Welcome to the neon lights and popping brights of Hello Kitty’s latest collection Tokyo Pop. No color is safe from electrification." sephora




Tokyo Pop is the newest collection at Sephora.  

This collection has an eyeshadow palette, brush, comb, nail polishes and a few other pieces. Below I will be sharing swatches of the eyeshadow palette which retails for 45 US dollars and is limited edition.  

With each collection, I have noticed the quality of the makeup has improved... YAY!  

The shadows in this palette are soft and pigmented except for the black shade.  The black shade has a ton of glitter which is probably why is harder in texture.  The  luminizer actually is quite nice pink/ light mauve shimmer.
