Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb & Free Style Kilowatt Highlighter in Hu$tla Baby - Review and Swatches

Hello Hello!!!

Today we're going to be looking at two Fenty Beauty products!!

The highlighter is very yellow/warm, so I would NOT recommend it for fair/pink undertoned people!! But for my warm yellow light medium skin tone. this highlight is perfection!!

The highlight is SPARKLY. it has visible specks of sparkles on my cheeks, even after I buff and melt it into my skin. So if you DO NOT like sparkly/high shine highlights this would not be for you!!

I personally like these kinds of highlights when I'm out at night time, to really make my skin POP. So I will and do use it quite often!!

The Gloss Bomb is stunning!! It's not sticky or tacky, its medium weight/heaviness, and it really does hydrate your lips!!!

I wore this gloss on a day where it was -31 degrees C, and my lips didn't get burned or chapped from the wind and cold!!

Amount: The "mini" gloss bomb has 5.5ml in it, where the full size is 9ml. so it's over half the amount of the full size!! The mini highlighter is 2.2g!! so pretty small, but you need SO little of it!

Overall: I HIGHLY recommend this mini set, or picking up these in full size!! Very lovely and I'm looking forward to purchasing more from this line!

Sephora Collection Blush To Go Blush Stick Review - 09 Miss Gorgeous

Hello again friends!!

Today I'm showing you all swatches and my thoughts on a new blush stick I bought from Sephora.

I have the shade 09 Miss Gorgeous, which is a nice Reddish Pink.

This blush is a cream to powder. As I blend it, I can feel it turning powdery. It's a cool feeling!

This is a more sheer cream blush. So I'd highly recommend this to blush beginners!! I have to do two and a half layers of this, to get my desired flush.

I use a MAC 159, a duo fiber blush brush and I'll lightly stipple this onto my cheek bones.

It doesn't move my foundation when i use a brush. But when I blend with my fingers it DOES move my foundation.

Lasting power is usual of the cream blush for me. Around 5 hours, when set.

Overall: 7.5/10.

Juice Beauty Sport SPF30 Sport Sunscreen Review

Hello all!! I'm going to chat about something very near and dear to me today!!

Sunscreen! :-)

I'v worn at the least SPF30 sunscreen every single day, for the past 4 years. I never leave the house without it on my face, neck, and whatever is exposed (so my shoulders, back, forearms, and hands!)

I prefer a mineral sunscreen personally, and stay far away from chemical sunscreens!

This sunscreen comes in a pretty large 110ml squeeze bottle. The lid snaps shut nicely, but isn't impossible to open!

The texture of this sun screen is thick, and creamy! I'v found, it's not moisturizing enough for me to skip my morning moisturizer. But a super oily skin type may find that it's enough!

It has an off white/cream colour to it. And I find it doesn't create a stark white cast against my NC23 skintone!

Here is my face, after 2 and a half thick layers of this sunscreen patted/smoothed onto my skin. You can see the finish isn't too dewy, but it's not a powdery matte! It looks very natural!!

Overall? At $25 a tube, I would HIGHLY recommend this sunscreen! It didn't aggravate my acne prone skin AT ALL, and keeps me nice and protected against the harsh UVA and UVB rays!!

ELF Liquid Eye Shadow In Liquid Gold, Rose Gold Review

Hey all!!

Today we're going to talk about two liquid eye shadows I really like!

At first use, I HATED these! But I figured out HOW to use them correctly!

These are liquid eye shadows in a tube with a doe foot applicator. Texture wise, these really are liquid-y.

First time I used these, I took the doe foot and smoothed it over my whole mobile lid, then tapped it out with my fingers. Which resulted in a sheer, glittery, patchy mess!

Now, I take the doe foot, and dab it onto the back of my hand, then pick up the liquid shadow with a flat, stiff synthetic brush. And tap that onto my lids!

This results in a glowy, dewy lid look!!!

I have zero issues with these creasing on my oily, severely hooded lids!!

Overall: 8/10

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Review - Severely Hooded, Oily Lids.

Hello again friends!!!

Today, we're going to talk about my holiest of holy grail's!!

I have severely hooded, oily lids.

This is my "least" hooded eye. I say that because my eyes are unevenly hooded!! One eye, has a hood that covers all of the lid from the lashline. and the other, is this eye here!

So all day, whenever I blink, or look around, my hood is rubbing against my lids. And thus distroying all of the hard work I did with my eye shadow!

Add in the fact that my eye lids are OIL SLICKS.

NOTHING used to last on my lids. I was lucky if I got ten minutes? of wear.

Until I tried Too Faced Shadow Insurance that is!

TFSI, is a thicker, light beige eye primer. I wont call it clear, because I haven't see how it looks on the deepest of skintones. But I imagine It could get ashy!

I use less than the above amount for both eyes. I take the smallest amount, and pat it from lash line to brow bone. And Because It dries to a tacky finish, I like to set it with my face powder or a matte bone shade to make blending out crease shades easier.

I NEVER get creasing with this product!! Nor do I get fading as well!!

I think this is a god send, for me and my eye shape. I wont say it'll be a miracle product for EVERYONE. But boy is this amazing for me!

Price: $24
Amount: 11g /0.35oz
Overall: 9.5/10!

Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals Review

Hey all!! Long time no post, am I right?

I'v been SWAMPED with work, and my best friend who lives in the next province, came to stay at my place for a work week. etc. Excuses excuses!

Lets jump into today's review/chat!

First off, I'm sorry I don't have any pretty brand new shots of this highlight. I bought it last month, while in America. And I DOVE into using this the morning after buying it!

This highlight, is a Peachy, Golden highlight. It's super easy to pick up on my highlighting brush, but not TOO much comes off on the brush. It's soft and silky. It almost feels like a baked powder!

I love love how versatile this product is! If I pack it on, it's a pretty blush. If I do a sheer layer, it's a beautiful peachy highlight. I can see this working for a few skintones! Not just fair/light. Remind me to apply this to my dark skinned friend and get back to yall on the results!!

This lasts a good 9 to 10 hours on my oily skin. With minimal fading.

It does accentuate my pores if I put too much on the apples of my cheeks. I will say that!!

Overall: 8/10!

My Favorite Sunblocks!

Hello again friends!!

Today i'm going to talk to you all about SPF!

I am a strong believer in wearing SPF every day. I am from Southern Ontario, Canada. We got a LOT of snow, and slush. But I still wear SPF50 in the winter!

I am a mixed race person, who is very lucky that I do not burn in the sun. I just tan. I'v only been burnt a handful of times in my life. But the first time I burnt, It blistered, and it was AWFUL. I was 9 at the time. And I still remember that pain. SHUDDER.

Because of this experience, I learned very early that SPF was very important!!

In the last 5 months, i'v introduced 2% BHA into my skincare routine. I use this every night as my first step in my skincare routine (after cleansing and washing my face of course!) And as i'm sure you all know, you MUST use sunblock while using AHA's/BHA's!!

I'm ALSO on a very aggressive acne treatment gel. It's 2.5% BP, where the usual dose according to me dermatologist, is 1.5% to 2.0%. And the treatment gel, makes my skin more susceptible to burning, and sun damage!

So because of all of these factors, I wear SPF daily!

I'll get off my soapbox (for now!!!) and I'll show you my favourite sunblocks!

Paula's Choice Extra Care Non-greasy Sunblock SPF50 - My third favorite sunblock! this is a super runny, liquidy sunblock, that does sink into the skin super easily and quickly!! I like to do a layer of this, let it sink in, then do a second layer!! It doesn't ball up, or ever feel heavy!! I love this!

Coppertone Clearlysheer Face SPF50 - My holy grail SPF! This truly sinks into the skin in a snap. It leaves my skin with a satin finish. It feels like NOTHING on my oily skin. It keeps my skin balanced, and happy! I love this stuff so much and will always have it on hand!

Shiseido Sun Protection Cream Water Resistant SPF50 - This has the same formula as the other Shiseido sunblock, It's light, creamy and airy. It sinks into the skin so nicely, and leaves me fresh and ready to go with makeup! It has a light floral scent.

Peter Tomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Sunscreen SPF30 - This is the thickest out of all of the sunblocks! It comes out of the container as a thick cream. And it is moisturizing as claimed. But it's not SO moisturizing that my oily skin feels heavy and smothered! It has a basic sunscreen scent. This is the lowest i'll go SPF wise!

Shiseido Urban Environment UV protection cream SPF40 - This is my second favorite sunblock! It's a nice fluffy cream, that sinks into the skin in about 60 seconds. And leaves my skin feeling dry and not sticky or tacky!! It has a floral scent to it!

Neutragena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF60 - This used to be my holy grail SPF, I'd wear it every day under my makeup. But Now that I'v branched out. I realize how thick, and moisturizing this is. And with my oily skin, that's a no-no. But as a sunblock for my Dry, KP covered shoulders, and arms? HEAVENLY! This also has a basic sunblock scent!

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer - Medium Deep

Hey all!! How are you today? I'm feeling so pumped and ready to go!

Today I wanted to chat with yall about my second EVER, matte bronzer. I'm 100% a shimmery bronzer gal. I totally prefer them. But I'v been super into bronzing and contouring my jawline lately. So here we are!

This bronzer is pretty light for their "medium/deep" shade. If the packaging didn't say it, I wouldn't believe it!

The powder came with a hard, chalky, layer overtop of it. So I had to scrape it a bit. But after that it became super soft, and easy to pick up on a brush and blend out!!

This is, I think, my perfect bronzer. It blends right into my skin, and adds warmth and subtle definition. I dig it!

There is a very strong cocoa powder scent to the product though!! It smells yummy to me, but I would have preferred they didn't add it.

Overall: 8/10!
