Christmas 2015: The 12 Days of Beauty Lovers

Christmas is coming soon so that means gift giving galore! If you aren’t ready for the holidays quite yet, I’ve got a list of items you should consider for the beauty lover in your life. These picks were all carefully curated by me as items that I have either personally tried or have heard raving reviews about. I’ve got gifts for beauty beginners, makeup addicts, and the skincare obsessed, so check it out below!

Get The Look: What’s In My Everyday Z Palette?

I’m not a morning person. At all.
So when I get up for work, the last thing I want to see is all my eyeshadows staring back at me saying ‘wear me today!’ I would scream and run the other way!

I’ve selected just a few of my most trusted shadows and face powders and placed them in a medium Z Palette that fits perfectly on top of my bedroom dresser so I can easily grab it and take it in my bathroom to do my makeup (ideal world) or in my work bag if I need to put on my makeup on the go (reality).

Nicolet Beauty

Review: Nicolet Beauty Lipsticks ‘Lodi’ & ‘Anderson’

I definitely have no business buying anymore lipsticks, but will I stop!? NEVER. I’ve recently discovered how many lipstick dupes I have and it made me focus on finding and purchasing more unique colors to add to my collection. When I found out about Nicolet Beauty’s 30% off sale a few weeks ago, I took full advantage and selected two shades that I 100% knew I didn’t have .. yet! To see pics of my purchase, keep reading!

Get The Look: Rusty Reds (Inspired by @laeldivine)

One of my friends (hayyyyy Fox!) asked me to recreate a look by the absolutely stunning @laeldivine so of course I had to use my brand new highlight in ‘Shaft of Gold’ by MAC.

Here are the detailed makeup deets for this entire look if you are looking for something rustic and fall-ish!

MAC Cosmetics

Review: MAC Cosmetics Magic of the Night Extra Dimension Skin Finish ‘Oh Darling’ & ‘Shaft of Gold’

The re-release of MAC’s extra dimension skinfinishes have been causing quite the frenzy after the success of fan favorites ‘Whisper of Gilt’ & ‘Superb’ were released a few years ago. The announcement of even the slightest possibility of a ‘Whisper of Gilt’ comeback sent beauty bloggers into full on private detective mode as we all scrambled for confirmation. Even though ‘WOG’ did not reappear, MAC blessed highlight aficionados with ‘Oh, Darling’ and ‘Shaft of Gold’ and I am not complaining one bit! Read more to find out why!Continue Reading

Glitter Elixirs Cosmetics

Review: Glitter Elixirs Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

Indie brand Glitter Elixirs Cosmetics just released some liquid lipsticks and they are BOMB. A mix of nudes and bright colors, these liquid lipsticks have excellent staying power and they smell like vanilla cupcakes. You can’t go wrong with vanilla cupcakes!

Looxi Beauty

First Impression: Looxi Beauty Kickers – Ever After, Voodoo, Luxe, Divine

I got the opportunity to test out some pretty amazing new products from Looxi Beauty over the weekend! If you are a fan of making sure your highlight is forever on fleek, you might want to pay extra special attention to the new product from Looxi called ‘Kickers’ which will kick your highlight out of this world!

I know your first question is, “What in the world is a ‘Kicker’?”First off, it’s not a part of this world. It literally transcends worlds because it is SO intense. The Hubble Telescope will pick that bad boy up from space. No lie!

Kat Von D Beauty

First Impression: Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Eyeshadow Palette

Kat Von D rarely disappoints and the brand’s newest palette release is no exception. The vinyl record themed palette features 24 eyeshadow shades in the most rainbow color scheme possible and is available exclusively through Sephora. Keep reading for my initial thoughts and tons of pictures!

This is one of those purchases that has you waiting at the mailbox as soon as that tracking number status changes to “Out For Delivery”.

Get The Look: Top 8 Contouring Eyeshadows for Brown Girls

Ok, so it’s really nine, but who’s counting when you are sorting eyeshadows!? Below, I’ve listed by top eye contouring shades for brown girls. I’ve yet to come across a palette that has everything I need so I’m forced to provide you with shades from a handful of different brands (NYX Cosmetics, Looxi Beauty, Makeup Geek Cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics) to bring you eye contouring combinations for warm, neutral, and cool skin

undertones.

Younique

Review: Younique Moodstruck Opulence Lipstick ‘Swanky’

Fall is here! Time to put away those pastel purples and hot pinks lips in favor of brick red and vampy purples. I’m excited because we are entering my favorite time of year and I can’t be ready enough for all the fall makeup looks coming at me from left and right! As you transition your makeup, I’ve got a color that will go perfectly with that Pumpkin Spice Latte (‘PSL’ for all us addicts!) in your hand. Keep reading to see more pics!
