The Edit: COLOURPOP EYE SHADOWS

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I did not know how much I would ADORE these eye shadows from Colourpop!!

After I placing a big lipstick order from Colourpop last year, I had decided never to buy from them again. Their ultra matte lipsticks were such a terrifying experience for me. They were so dry and would get patchy around the middle areas of my lips few minutes after application. Overtime these liquid lipsticks had actually turned PURE liquid and just, straight into garbage. HOWEVER, the lippie stix weren't that bad, they just weren't a "wow" either. They're lip liners, took forever for me to figure out that they were sharpen-able? Anyways lets all forget about my bad experience because this order has me extremely happy with Colourpop!

I always hesitated to try anything else by them but I am so glad I caved into these beautiful colours and just went ahead with my purchase to give their eye shadows a try! 

Their formula is something everyone needs to brag about!! 

I have no idea how an eye shadow can be so smooth, creamy and perfectly pigmented ALL at the same time. It glides, it's so creamy yet doesn't crease. What you see in the pot, is what you will get on your swatch, and on your lid. Layering it up only makes it even more gorgeous and yes, still does not crease! I always felt creamier formulas are harder to blend, boy was I wrong. They blend like magic! 

With my order I received free brushes. (They had a promotion going on) These brushes are also not bad quality, especially considering that they were thrown in for free!

My only only ever con about these would be the fact that they don't come in a palette =(

I prefer my eye shadows in a palette and something that is organised. With these, I have no idea how I'm gonna store them in eye sight..I'm gonna have to be creative and figure something out soon.

BUT, don't let that be any excuse to not purchase these goodies cause... you neeeeeeeed these, trust me.. you do!

I have been using this palette almost everyday since I have gotten it.

For this look I've used the shades NYC, Muse and Marina. (with Marina I dabbed with my finger to get that extra pigment to stand out)

Ingredient Spotlight

Been so long since a post! 

I've been meaning to write a review on these value gift sets but life kept getting in the way as usual. These products came so much tinier then what I thought though. I was disappointed in the size but I should have known with the prices! 

I really reallllly enjoy this time of the year because of all these value gift sets everywhere has to offer! Perfect chance to grab deals for yourself!!!! ....aaand your loved ones of course (=

Ole Henriksen - All Four Love - Mini 3 Little Wonders + Cleanse

This set contains:

1.5 oz/45 ml African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser

0.5 oz/15 ml Truth Serum Collagen Booster 

0.25 oz/7 g Sheer Transformation

0.25 oz/7 ml Invigorating Night Treatment

I was introduced to the 2 Little Wonders by Ole Henriksen with samples I had received from Sephora with my purchase. After just the first use, my skin felt so healthy and even. I get a lot of redness around my t-zone and my big cheeks so I try to aim for skin products that target evening out skin tone/texture and just brightening overall. The truth serum/collagen booster, is just in one word AMAZING. I follow the sheer transformation moisturiser right after. Its such a light yet very effective moisturiser. Sometimes I switch it up and use the night treatment followed by sheer transformation. They all pretty much target the same concerns. The cleanser is the extra little gift in this set as normally it just comes with the 3 little wonders. The cleanser was a bonus but I'm starting to really like it, it smells so refreshing and just really purifies your skin.
