Hey Guys,
I know its been FOREVER since my last blog post. Since my son was born I have struggled to find time to create content for Instagram nevermind time to write a whole blog post. Ever since my boyfriend went back to work my time in between nap periods is limited. I always have a bunch other things I need to do like the never-ending pile of laundry, trying to fit in a quick workout, and eating so blogging has taken a back seat. I recently found time to snap some pictures for reviews so I have a few in the works. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on the Morphe 2 Ready in 5 Eyeshadow Palette in Malibu. @sadiedaniels_ mentioned this palette on Instagram and it looked so pretty so I had to pick it up.

Nursery Room Tour

Hey Guys,

I know it's been forever since I posted on here. I had my son unexpectedly 5 weeks early back on June 28th and things happened really quick. I have spent the last 6 weeks in the hospital then at home adjusting to being a new mom and trying to get this new schedule. I have had a hard time finding extra time in the day to dedicate to blogging. However, I am starting to find little bits of time that I can take to work on blog/Instagram stuff. My son was 5lbs 11oz and he is now finally able to use the baby wraps and carriers that allow me to have my hands back for some parts of the day.

I have been saying for months that I would share his nursery and it is FINALLY finished. My family and I were joking with Colin about how he had to stop procrastinating and put together the baby furniture because we only had a couple months before the baby was here. Little did we know he would be coming a week later! After Caleb was born we got to take sometime and buy some additional décor for his room. I was also able to order the custom name sign off etsy since we didn't decide on his name until he was born. Keep reading to check out my mood board that I created and the finished nursery. I will link all products shown in the mood board and in his nursery at the bottom of this post under "SHOP THIS POST".

MOOD BOARD:

All of these products in this collage were taken off of my baby registry. My sister and the people that helped throw my shower actually purchased some of the nursery decor from my registry for the shower décor. She took inspiration from my collage to also use that as the theme for my baby shower. I thought it was a great idea because instead of just throwing away a bunch of paper décor, it was actually used in his nursery.

Review: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink & Lip Cheat Liner in Love Trap

*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I may earn a small credit from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on some more Charlotte Tilbury products. I decided to try the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in the shade Penelope Pink since I loved how it looks on _WithSarah who is a fellow beauty influencer. I decided to purchase as a lip kit and get a lip liner to pair with it. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each!

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink $34.00

Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:

"Darlings, get this fail-safe recipe for perfect lips! My K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink features ingredients for full-bodied, plumped-up lips. This nude beige lipstick has subtle pink undertones, making it the perfect everyday shade.

WHAT MAKES K.I.S.S.I.N.G LIPSTICK MAGIC:

• Perfect, full, kissable lips really do grow on trees!
• The Lipstick Tree protects your lips from UV damage & oxidative stress to leave them soft, soothed & hydrated.
• Light-diffusing pigments gives your lips a multi-dimensional finish to leave them look full-bodied and luminous.
• The blend of waxes glides over your lips for a rich, buildable color.
• Ideal for an everyday nude in a hydrating formula."

On to my thoughts:

While I loved how the lipstick looks on Sarah I do not love how it looks on me. She does pair Penelope Pink with a different lip liner Iconic Nude. I didn't love that combo on me and prefer it with the Love Trap shade that I purchased. The formula is much more satin/glossy and less opaque than the Matte Revolution lipstick formula. It apply more sheer and kind of patchy. I am also not in love with how the nude color looks on me. This just goes to show you that depending on your complexion, lip shape, etc makeup can look completely different on different people. I will say that this lipstick is definitely hydrating. 

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Love Trap $24.00

Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:

"Darlings, lip liner is every woman’s backstage, red carpet, secret weapon! My Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Love Trap is a ‘90s-inspired peachy-brown shade. This nourishing, velvety-rich formula is the key to creating fuller, wider, perfected lips.

WHAT MAKES LIP CHEAT LIP LINER MAGIC:

• Perfect your lip shape!
• Smoothes over texture for a seamless line, so you can resize and reshape for a fuller pout.
• Lasts up to 6 hours with no smudging*
• Waterproof formula
• Transfer resistant formula
• Ideal for perfectly defined, colour-rich lips."

On to my thoughts:

I really like this lip liner and it is on par with the rest of the lip cheat liners that I own. The color is a really nice warm brown nude shade on me.

Here are swatches of Penelope Pink and Love Trap:

You can save some money and purchase a K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick and Liner Kit that includes a lipstick and lip liner at a discount. 

Overall, I do not like the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink enough to justify the price that I paid. If I got it at Sephora I probably would have returned it but it was too much of a hassle to return directly to Charlotte Tilbury. I prefer the Matte Revolution formula way more and wish that I got a nude shade in that instead. I do recommend the lip cheat liner in Love Trap and think its a nice basic neutral shade.
