ColourPop Lippie Haul & Swatches!

Posted in Beauty, Hauls, Lipstick, Product Reviews by

ColourPop Lippie HaulHey everyone! If you’ve been here for a while, then you already know that I’m obsessed with ColourPop and especially their lip products! So, recently they’ve launched a couple of new lip products and formulas and I wanted to try them all out! I purchased a wide variety of formulas and I have swatched them all below.

ColourPop Lippie Haul Swatches

First up we have two Ultra Satin formulas: Lyin’ King and Panda. I have others of the Ultra Satin formula and I have to say that the Ultra Satin formula is my absolute favorite out of all of the lippie products ColourPop has to offer. Some of the things that make it my favorite are that they are still somewhat matte looking when applied, they are super long lasting, and they don’t dry your lips out the way the matte formulas do.

Next we have two of the original Lippie Stix in a Sheer formula: Whip and Tiger. These two are a more glossy formula, and because they are sheer, they aren’t super opaque. As you can see above, Whip is much more pigmented than Tiger, but they both have great color payoff. If you’re not looking for heavy color, these are a definite go-to.

Next we have two of the new Matte X formula: Back Up and Barely There. The Matte X Lippie Stix are a more recent formula as well. They’re very matte – even more so than the Ultra Matte Liquid Lip formulas. I have to say that I don’t reach for these two as much as the others, one reason is that if you have any lip “imperfections” meaning chapped or dry lips, these will show every single flaw and almost emphasize them. They are also super drying. The color payoff of this formula is amazing though.

Next we have another original Lippie Stix in a pearlized formula: Wet. I purchased this one because I realllly wanted to get some Ultra Metallic Lippies, but they were all sold out at the time and this one was the next best thing to a metallic formula. This color is interesting for sure! It’s almost a copper color with a gray undertone. I love it.

Last but not least, we have the newest additions to the ColourPop lip collection, Ultra Glossy Lip: Piranha and Finders Keepers. At the time I ordered these lippies, they were offering a promotion that if you purchased a certain dollar amount, you would receive a free sample glossy lip. So, I chose these two colors. I absolutely love both of these. The formula is amazing, it isn’t sticky or thick and you barely notice you are wearing a gloss. Piranha is a sheer finish and Finders Keepers is a crème finish, which means it has more color payoff. Since this haul, ColourPop just launched their full collection of Ultra Glossy Lips and I will definitely be purchasing some additional colors and formulas also!

That’s it guys! Do you love ColourPop lippies just as much as I do? Tell me what your favorites are below in the comments!

Sephora (mini) Haul!

Posted in Beauty, Foundation, Hauls, Product Reviews by

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my Sephora mini Haul purchases with you today. Since I was trying to avoid spending my entire life savings at Sephora over the weekend, I managed to only purchase 4 things this time around :).

Sephora Mini Haul

Benefit Cosmetics: How to Look the Best at Everything – this kit is everything. I really wanted to find something that had everything I wanted in it and this kit truly has everything you need to get that perfect look. The kit includes The POREfessional Face Primer, the Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation, Boi-ing concealers in two different shades, and Hello Flawless powder. The kits come in Light, Medium, and Deep. I chose Medium for my skin tone since it is going to be summer soon and I’ll hopefully be getting some color. All items in this kit are a sample size, so you’re able to basically try everything out to see if you really like it in the collection before investing in the full-size products. This kit would also be really great for travel purposes. If you’re someone who is new to makeup or isn’t really sure how to apply each of the products or where, the kit also comes with a little tips and tricks booklet that is attached to the top of the kit. This kit was about $34 at my Sephora. The products are amazing, and I love the quality. As some of you may know, I’m always on the quest to find new foundation products and that perfect foundation. Benefit killed it – this kit is awesome!

Sephora: Wonderful Cushion foundation – this is a great light coverage foundation. I found this on the sale rack, but I really do like this product. This is a great product that I’ve been using as a light foundation for those days that I don’t want a full-coverage look. I’m loving it. This was on sale at my Sephora for $12, however, I also believe this product is discontinued. If you can find it, I do suggest picking one up before you can’t get them anymore!

Sephora: Beauty Amplifier Lip Plumper – this product is a great clear gloss that adds both shine and plumps your lips. I’ve been wearing this as a stand alone product, but it would be great over a lippie also. This product was $16 at my Sephora. It’s a huge tube so it’s totally worth the price. The applicator is a doe foot applicator and the product lasts for a pretty decent amount of time when wearing. It is a gloss, so it has the wear time of most glosses on the market.

Urban Decay: All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray – this spray.. I can’t even. This spray is amazing. There are no other words. I’ve tried other makeup setting sprays in the past, but I hadn’t ever tried this one (not sure why). This weekend, I decided to pick one up. This truly does exactly what it claims to do. The setting spray is used after you’ve applied all of your makeup and when you want it to stay on your face as you have just applied, for the entire day (or night). This spray allows your makeup to stay put for 16 hours. This spray is about $30 for the full sized bottle, but they also offer a travel size at around $10.

That’s it for this mini haul. What favorite products are you loving at Sephora?
