So Good I Repurchased - 5 Things I finished and Repurchased

Hey!!!

Happy September, friends!!!

Today I'm going to show yall some things I finished, and then repurchased because I loved them so much!



while I didn't "finish" my first Modern Renaissance palette, I'v hit pan or fully finished 7 shadows. So I bought a new one, to use for when my first one is finished!!


L'oreal Infallible Total Cover Foundation is wonderful! It's my longest lasting foundation in the summer heat I found. I use the smallest amount, and really spread and press this foundation into my skin, and my skin looks amazing! I used to have the shade 304, but it was way too pink. So I went up a shade to 305 which is perfect!


I used to own MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer in NW25, but it was too pink and dark, so once I finished that. I bought the shade NC20. which is lighter than my skintone. So It brightens my under eyes perfectly!


LUSH's Santa Baby lip tint is my holy grail, all time favourite lipstick! I'v only ever finished two lipsticks before. And this is one of them!


I'm on my third compact of the Annabelle Brow-To-Go!! It's my perfect shade match for my brows, and it lasts all day. What more could I ask for!?

My all time favourite, Holy Grail lipstick Review

Hey all!! I'm so shocked I haven't made this post yet. But here we are!

I want to share with y'all my holy grail "I only need this lipstick", lipstick.

I want you all to meet, LUSH's Santa Baby Lip tint!







LUSH's Santa Baby and I have been together for one year this past christmas, And we couldn't be happier!!

I feel bad that I'm just getting to this post now. Because It's a christmas exclusive, so I bought a backup this christmas! But if you fall in love with this beauty, don't fret! it'll be back. And you could always find it online!

Anyway,

Santa Baby is a described as a "red lip tint" and boy do I disagree!!

This is a satin finish, thick, opaque, orange lipstick with a touch of red (on me at least)

The consistency is slightly chunky in the tube and when apply it. But when you smooth it over your lips it blends it and it just melts into the lips.

The reason why I love this lipstick so much? it INSTANTLY Stains my lips. I applied the swatches to my arm, snapped a few photos, and right away wiped it off, and there was/is a bright stain. If I wear this for a full day, I'll have orangey stained lips the next day!!

I HATE reapplying lipstick. I feel embarrassed reapplying in public. So I need long lasting lipsticks. And this is IT. It wears at a heafty 8/9 hours on me.

This isn't drying in my opinion, but please remember my lips aren't super dry. I put lip balm on almost every night, and most mornings while I do my makeup. And my lips are in great shape. So if you have drier lips, take this with a grain of salt!

Price: $9

Pros: Non drying, creamy, opaque, perfect for long days, great staying power, brightens up my warm face.

Cons: every time I wear this it gets on my teeth and stains them slightly, Might be drying for some, hard to remove the stain.

Overall: 10/10!!!!

Warm matte red + glittery reddish bronze eye look. #FOTD

Hey all!! I'm really pleased with my makeup today, so i'm sharing it with you!!!

Just a PSA. I put this on 10 hours ago, so if it doesn't look "perfect" / looks "lived in" that's why!



Skin care: I exfoliated, moisturized, and put on sun block, and let that all sink in.

Base: I primed with Benefit's PoreFessional, then buffed Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation (I'm the shade Fair Light Honey in the winter!) all over focusing on the apples of my cheeks. I then patted a peachy cream corrector under my eyes and on any dark spots/freckles. Then went over my under eyes and dark spots with a yellow toned concealer to finish. I patted MAC Set powder all over my face to set.

Cheeks: I took a MAC Duo Fiber blush brush and buffed Clinique Cola Pop onto the apples of my cheeks. I then ran/buffed Make Up Forever ME-512 along my cheek bones/apples for a glow. I also took an angled brush and ran a cool brown powder along my cheek bones, and my jaw line.





Eyes: I primed with Too Faced Shadow Insurance, I set it with Urban Decay Thirteen eye shadow. The rest of my eye look is ALL Colourpop eye shadows!! I took LE Colourpop Crenshaw and buffed/circled that into my crease as a warm transition. I took the same brush and suuuuper lightly patted and blended Colourpop Seeker (Matte deep dark brown) along my crease and outer part of my lid. I took a clean finger and PATTED Colourpop's Nillionaire onto my entire mobile lid, and took a MAC 217 and buffed everything out. I decided I wanted to add some warmth to the look, so I patted Colourpop Paradox onto my outer corner, and blended Inward, but focusing it on the outer corners. I applied two coats of my favourite L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara to my top and bottom lashes, and lined my water lines with AVON Always on Point black liner.

Lips: I took my HOLY GRAIL Lipstick, LUSH Santa Baby, and patted that onto my lips and with a clean finger, I blended it in. Slowly building it up to the opacity I wanted!!


And that's it!! That's today's glittery warm red look!
