Benefit Dandelion and Bella Bamba Blushes Review

Hello friends!! Today we're going to be chatting about one of my all time favourite blushes, and one that I'm neutral on.

I was given four samples of Benefits popular boxed blushes. Coralista (which I'v finished! It has like the edges left in the pan!), Hoola (which I gave away to my best friend), Dandelion, and Bella Bamba!

Here's a swatch and review of the two I have left!

Dandelion is a light, baby pink with silver shimmer throughout it lightly.

Bella Bamba is a watermelon pink with a silvery sheen and shimmer.  

The top is 3 swipes of Dandelion, and the bottom is one swipe of Bella Bamba.

I'm a massive fan of Bella Bamba, it's such a beautiful bright pink on my warm, light medium skin. It's effortless in the summer!!

I'm pretty neutral on Dandelion to be honest. It's sheer, and doesn't build up well. And barely shows up, even on my current light skin. It's also a touch powdery!

Overall: I'm GUTTED that Bella Bamba has been DC. I'm using her sparingly until I can find a good dupe!!

Clinique Cheek Pop Blushes Review

Hey guys! Today we're going to take a look at my Clinique Cheek Pop Blushes!

I ADORE this formula. It's so so fine, and creamy, it looks like a nice cream blush on the cheeks, They're finely grained, and blend out so beautifully. I have two shades I would consider as "not easy to work with" And I can just slap these on pretty much no problem!

I have 04 Plum Pop, and 07 Cola Pop.

Plum Pop is a cool toned plummy pink, with a glowy finish. But it has zero visible shimmer!

Cola Pop is a Satiny Burnt warm red! It's less glowy than Plum Pop. But still not a matte at all!

For Plum Pop I use a fluffy blush brush and really work it into my skin for a innocent cool flush, But for Cola Pop I find, for my lighter skin, I need to take a duo fiber blush brush and use that to lightly deposit colour onto my cheeks!

These are perfect summer blushes. They blend so easily, and look so nice and fresh on the cheeks! I highly recommend them!!!

Price: $29

Amount: 3.5G

Pros: Super easy to blend out, great pigmentation, works well on my oily skin, lasts 12 hours.

Cons: There's really only Cola Pop, and Maybe Berry Pop for super rich, dark skinned lovelies. So that sucks! I wish there was more deep colours!

Overall: 9.5/10

ELF Blush and Bronzer Duo Review

Hey friends!!

Today we're going to look at one of my favourite cheek products!!

This is the ELF Blush and Bronzer duo compact! It contains a shimmery light golden brown bronzer, and a light glittery cotton candy pink blush.

I LOVE the bronzer in this compact!! It gives my skin warmth, so I don't look flat or dead,

But I REALLY Love mixing them together! I'll just take a fluffy blush brush, and dab it back and forth into both pans. and then buff it onto my cheeks. And it adds a warm, peachy glow to my cheeks! I'm obsessed!

Amount: I threw out the box It came in, so I have no clue. Shoot!

Price: $5

Pros: Super blendable, soft, and easy!

Cons: Not dark skinned friendly! I wish ELF would come out with more shades in this formula!!

QUO Prismatic Face Palette + Original Face Palette Reviews

Hello friends!!

Today we're talking about two AWESOME face palettes!

I own the original QUO Face palette, and then the year after that they came out with the Prismatic face palette.

I personally adore them both, and they're both great for travel. But I like the Prismatic face palette slightly more, as it has a mirror in the packaging, and I prefer the bronzer's golden tones in it as well.

Here is pictures and swatches of the Prismatic face palette: 

Blush: It's a soft warm pink It's slightly powdery, but if you tap off your brush it's perfect! It's not hard at all to blend as well!

Highlight: This is a VERY intense highlight. Like, I'm talking even i, queen of the intense highlight need to tap it off and really buff it in. But once it's all buffed into the cheeks, it's STUNNING. And as you can tell, I'v hit pan on this bad boy!

Bronzer: This is my PERFECT bronzer. It's a yellow/golden brown, with warm shimmers/sparkles in it. I wear bronzers as a warm blush shade 99% of the time. So this is perfect for me!! It blends like butter, and wears all day long.


Next, is the Original Face Palette: 

Blush: This is more peachy than the other blush. It's a matte as well. But it blends shockingly well for a matte!!! I like this shade in the spring. It's very brightening.

Highlight: This highlight is a warm golden shade! It's fairly shimmery/glittery. But not as "bad" as the prismatic face palette. It's basically all used up as you can see!!

Bronzer: This bronzer used to be my JAM, before I got the Prismatic face palette. It's very orangey/red toned. And it's powdery. But very velvety and soft!!


Price: I payed $19.99 plus tax for these two palettes!

Amount: 11G of Blush and Bronzer, and 2.9G of highlight in the Original Face Palette. 6g of blush and bronzer, and 3.4G of highlight in the Prismatic. (So the original was/is a better deal. But I prefer the packaging and shades in the prismatic!)

Pros: Soft, blendable, portable, and easy to use!

Cons: No diversity. There's only one palette out currently, so the very fair and the very deep are kinda left out!

Sugarpill Feline Fancy Eyeshadow Quad/Liquid Lipstick Review/Swatches

Hello friends!

Today we're talking Sugarpill! More specifically their new Feline Fancy Kit!

I ordered, and received the package in less than seven business days. And the box was very well packaged!! it was filled, and the actual box containing my Feline Fancy kit was well wrapped.

I will say, I was charged an extra $18 at the door. And I wasn't happy about that, so for that reason, I most likely wont be ordering from Sugarpill again.

But spoiler; I ADORE the Feline Fnacy Quad and Lipstick!!

I know some people may not agree, but I'm really digging the packaging! I'm loving the cat on the front.

S.W.A.K is a light to medium warm duochrome pink. It swatches pink, but when I buff it out onto my cheeks I get straight up orange (Not in a bad way though!) On my eyes, it's more vibrant a pink than swatches or in the pan. I tried to get the photo as colour accurate as I could!

Wink is a pinky beige on me. It's very shimmery and smooth! I personally adore this as a cheek, and brow highlight, or on the lids!

Text Me is a matte, light warm, brown! This is the weakest performer in the quad. I'll talk more about that below with the swatches, but it's sheer. and dry. I'v used this as a crease shade, lower lashline liner, and as a cheek bronzer!

Kiss Kiss is my favourite in the set. It's a BEAUTIFUL, warm red that GLOWS. It's a warm, orangey red base with a metallic finish that just is stunning. This is smooth, and creamy and easy to blend out!

The lipstick, Strange Love, is amazing! I'm really digging this formula! It's a deeper red, with deep red and golden shimmer. This is the most comfortable liquid matte lipstick I'v ever used!! I can't feel it on my lips with is pretty amazing! It's light, and non drying on me. And when wearing off, you're left with a light shimmery stain. Not just pure shimmer! So I really like that!

Here are swatches, The liquid lipstick is two swipes, side by side. The pink and red are one swipe each, And the highlight shade is two swipes because with just one, it blended into my pale under wrist too much. The matte brown, is FOUR swipes, and it's still sheerer than the rest of the eye shadows.

Here are 3 different days where I'v used the quad as blush/bonzer/highlight, and eye shadow. And I'm wearing the lipstick, Strange Love at my lip colour in each photo!

These were from the day I got the set. I have Text Me heavily in the crease, Wink all over the lids and inner corners, First Kiss on the lower lashlines. And Wink to highlight the cheeks!

Here, I had Wink applied to my brow bones, and my cheek bones down to my apples! I wanted to show off just how beautiful of a glow you CAN get with Wink!

Here, I have Text Me heavily in the crease, then I patted Kiss Kiss on the outer corners of my mobile lids, and S.W.A.K on my inner corners of my mobile lids, blended those two together. Added a touch of Kiss Kiss into the outer crease, and lower lashline. Then highlighted with Wink!

Here is the same look from above, but with winged liner, and from a different day. I also have Kiss Kiss on my cheeks, with Wink to highlight!

The Shadows in the Quad last all day over ELF Sheer eye lid primer, or Too Faced Shadow Insurance for me. I have no creasing or fading. They are pretty darn easy to blend out with fluffy brushes. I never once felt frustrated with blending these shadows!

Price: $48 + $12 Shipping, + $18 charges at door!

Amount of product: You get 5.4 ML of Vegan, and Cruelty Free Liquid lipstick, and you get 0.05oz x4 of shadow!

Overall: While I will not be ordering from Sugarpill again soon, that is just my personal willing to spend money, as I feel they/it kind of screw over Canadians. But I for Americans, I think this is a AMAZING duo. I love the quality, and the amount of product you get!
