Review: Play! By Sephora November 2015

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to review my Play! By Sephora box for November. The theme for this box is "The Exclusives" and contained brands that are only available at Sephora. I was really excited to see makeup in this box since last months was only skincare. The was really happy to see Bite Beauty in this box. Since these boxes don't ship until the 3rd week of the month, I am always super anxious for it to ship so that I can see what products I am getting.

 Check out my video below to hear my thoughts on all of the products in the November box!



Below is what was featured in this month's box:

Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer: Hydrating Primer $36.00

Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear Waterproof in My Boyfriend's Jeans $10.00

Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Rhubarb $24.00

Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in Dolly $19.00

Josie Maran Argan Oil $48.00-$96.00

Stella McCartney Stella $50.00-$92.00

Overall, I was pretty happy with this box. I really liked the brands and products featured. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the sizing of some of the samples. If a subscription box is going to be deluxe sized samples only, then I think the samples should be a decent size. Other than that I can't wait to see next month's box.

Review: L'Oreal Infalliable Eyeshadows and Colour Riche Lipcolour Sticks

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on some L'Oreal products that I picked up a couple months ago. Some products are brand new while others are ones that I have wanted to try for quite a while.

L'Oreal Infalliable Eyeshadows $7.99

Iced Latte-This is a frosty cream color.

Review: Kat Von D Lolita Lip Duo

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share a review of the Kat Von D Lolita Lip Duo that I purchased a couple weeks ago. I have wanted Lolita for the longest time but it is ALWAYS sold out in store and online. I found out that there was a duo coming out that had deluxe sized versions on both the original Lolita Liquid Lipstick and a new color called Lolita II. Keep reading to hear my thoughts about this duo!

Kat Von D Lolita Lip Duo $19.50 at Sephora

Left: Lolita II Right: Lolita

Each mini lipstick comes with 0.10 oz of product. These are pretty small to be quite honest. 

Here are swatches of each:

Left: Lolita Right: Lolita II

Lolita is a chestnut rose

Lolita II is a terra cotta nude

Overall, These liquid lipsticks have pretty good wear time. I would say around 5 hours. They do need to be touched up after eating. I love the two colors but actually prefer the Lolita II as an everyday color. One thing that I didn't love about these is they are a little drying and dry kind of sticky. I had to apply chapstick before using these and even then, my lips were still a little dry. I don't know if anyone else has experienced the tacky drying of these liquid lipsticks? I was glad that I got to try both colors out but I actually prefer the ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. I prefer them for a couple of reasons. The first is the price. They are only $6.00 vs $20.00 for the full size KVD ones. The second reason is that I do not experience the tacky/sticky feeling when they dry. If anyone knows of any ColourPop dupes for these, let me know! 

Have you tried the KVD Liquid Lipsticks? How do you think they compare to the ColourPop ones? Post your comments below!

eShakti* Fall Fashion

Hey Guys,
I don't know about you but I am all about plaid during the fall. Mixing plaid and combat boots is one of my favorite things to wear this season. I wanted to share a dress that I recieved from eShakti. For those of you unfamiliar with eShakti, it is an online custom clothing retailer. They have tons of unique dresses, tops, and skirts that are all custom made to your liking. You can learn more about eShakti by checking out my post HERE.

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Galaxy

I really love the Rimmel Lip Lacquers. I have a bunch of them. Galaxy is a mauve color that is great for the fall. I have been wearing this often.

Review: Morphe 35O Palette

Hey Guys,

As many of you know, Morphe has blown up in the beauty/blogger industry due to their relationships with big time beauty bloggers like Jaclyn Hill and Manny. They have helped spread the word about Morphes amazing brushes and eyeshadows. Recently released was the Morphe 35O palette which quickly sold out. They got more stock in recently and I was lucky enough to place and order and have it filled. I have been using this palette non stop! Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette and to see some looks that I have created with it.

Morphe 35O Palette $22.99

Here are swatches of the shadows:

Crease: Row 3 Column 5 & Row 4 Column 5

Inner Corner: Row 1 Column 3

Lower Lash Line: Row 4 Column 4 & Column 5

Overall I am really loving this palette! All of the shadows are super pigmented and blendable. They do have some fallout in the pan due to the fact that they are so soft. I haven't had any fallout on my face when using the shadows. This palette is very warm with a BUNCH of similar different browns. There are many similar colors but that is obvious just by looking at the pictures of the palette. I tend to gravitate towards neutrals and browns so that really doesn't bother me. If you aren't into warm or neutral tones then I would skip on this palette. It is a GREAT palette for the fall. Plenty of burnt oranges, reds, and browns. I would recommend this palette to anyone that is into those types of colors. The next palette that I plan to get is the Morphe 35K palette which has a more diverse range of colors.
