FOTD: Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil


Today I decided to play around with a few new products that I've recently purchased (see New In: Drugstore Beauty Haul here).  One item that really stood out to me is the Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Love Is Blonde. The brow tint allows for natural-looking hairs to be drawn into the eyebrows, while the pencil fills brows in in a few easy swipes!  This is great alternative to the more expensive brow pencils like the ones from Hourglass & Tom Ford, as long as you can get hold of it!  Unfortunately, this isn't available in the US, as far as I know; therefore, I purchased mine off of eBay.  However, it still ended up being much less expensive than the Hourglass or Tom Ford versions!

New In: Drugstore Beauty Haul



After buying very little makeup for the past few months, I decided to treat myself to a few new bits from Ulta.  Currently, Ulta is hosting a '21 Days of Beauty' Event, which has a bunch of steals and deals up for grabs until the beginning of April.  That being said, once the need arose to purchase a new mascara, I knew exactly where to go!

A cult classic, and at such a great price!  I've heard loads about this particular brow gel, and after being totally underwhelmed by the Anastasia version (at nearly 4x the price, may I add), I thought a drugstore version might suit my brows and my pocket better.

I haven't heard much about this mascara, but I'm hoping this mascara will give tons of volume without making my lashes crunchy - you know that feeling.  Slightly more expensive than the average drugstore mascara, but with the usual Ulta 'buy one get one half off' sales, it comes out to a decent price!

Left to Right: Soap & Glory Brow Pencil & Tint, Revlon Lip Butters in Strawberry Shortcake & Juicy Papaya

After owning and loving two of these bad boys (Pink Truffle and Peach Parfait, for reference), I thought it was time to add a few new lip butters to the mix.  I initially opted for Juicy Papaya, hoping it would be a dupe for one my all-time favorite sheer lipsticks - YSL Rouge Volupté Sheer Candy in 02 Dewy Papaya ($34).  Although they are similar, the Revlon version is more pigmented, but otherwise they give a similar finish and gloss to the lips - I think I just saved myself $26.  I also picked up Strawberry Shortcake, mostly because there was 'buy one get one half off' on Revlon products, but also in hopes of a perfect summery pink shade!  I haven't tried this one yet, but my hopes are high and I will report back soon enough.

Once I got to the counter to purchase everything, I was shocked to find out that as part of Ulta's '21 Days of Beauty' Event, they were giving away a free full-sized version of this!  I'm not sure what the minimum is to receive this, perhaps $20 (which is just below what I spent)?  I've always wanted to try something from the It's A 10 line, but the price point always put me off.  This Keratin version is meant to be used 1-2x a week, instead of regular hair oil which I use after every hair wash.  I'm so excited to try this, so head to your local Ulta to see if they have any in stock for Free GWP!

Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Love Is Blonde - £10
Finally, I received this yesterday in the post after purchasing this hyped up brow pencil.  I ended up ordering it off of eBay, which is always a little sketchy, but useful, nonetheless.  Although I have light brown hair, this shade matches my brows perfectly, giving a dark blonde/light brown tint to my brows.  I use the marker bit to draw on little hairs into my brows, and then go over everything with the pencil, afterwards. Unfortunately, this isn't available in the US, as far as I know, but if you have Soap & Glory makeup readily available near you, I would definitely recommend giving this a go!

March Beauty Wishlist


Another month, another wishlist...

Despite having recently backed off on the amount of beauty products I purchase, there are still a few choice items I'm dying to add into the mix!

This looks like the perfect dupe for my beloved Tom Ford Brow Sculptor, which is currently just a tinge dark for my brows.  What's more, this rings in at $10 cheaper, making the extortionate price somewhat more justifiable. 

I've recently just run out of this baby - I purchased this in August and haven't put it down since!  I'm desperate to get my hands on this again even after only a week of being without it.  However, I have some other products that need to be used up before I can allow for a repurchase.

Am I a cliche or what?  This is currently one of the MOST hyped up skincare brands/products out there.  But, what can I say, my curiosity has got the better of me and I have a feeling this will be purchased in a few short months (i.e. the amount of time it will take me to save up for the damn thing)!

This has got to be one of the most beautifully packaged bronzers out there - and I can't stop thinking about it.  Despite having about 6 other bronzers I should be using up, all I want to do is click the 'Place Order' button for this baby!  Basically, this purchase is totally inevitable.

What's on your wishlist?

FOTD: No Eyeliner Day


I was feeling a little adventurous today (another word might be lazy) and opted to not go for my staple winged eyeliner.  I've worn winged eyeliner everyday for years, but sometimes you just need a change!


I've recently become obsessed with this foundation - the color and coverage are flawless.  I have a lot of difficulties finding foundations that match my more neutral-toned complexion, but this shade is literally the exact same shade as my skin.  It has quite a light coverage, which is something I prefer, but if you're looking for more coverage they also have the 'Cover Expert' in the same line (which I haven't tried...yet).  The foundation does have a pretty noticeable scent, but it's never irritated my skin before.


Something new I've been trying out recently is the Jouer Crème Eyeshadow in Cashmere.  Unfortunately, the quality isn't great - even with a primer, this cream eyeshadow creases very easily.  It also doesn't work very well as a base either, still causing very noticeable creasing.  The formulation is simply too creamy - so I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with even normal-oily lids.


What's your eyeliner preference? With or without?

NARS And God Created The Woman Set - Review & Swatches


Does anyone remember this?

Following the quick sell-out and hype of NARS And God Created the Woman Kit, which was released last spring, NARS brought this basic staples palette back out again.  Featuring 6 ultra wearable shades, this palette can easily take you from a light, daytime look to a dark, smokey eye quite easily.  


 The palette features six beloved NARS eyeshadows: Alhambra, Bellisima, Kalahari, Galapagos, Coconut Grove, and Night Clubbing.  The 'Kit' also includes a large fluffy, blending brush, with a short handle - making it perfect for travel, as well as a sample of the NARS Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Primer.  

I like to use the top three shades for a simple, everyday eye look, but I also sometimes like to pop a little of Galapagos onto the outer corner and Coconut Grove to line my lashes.  



One thing I should mention is the size - it's tiny.  You can see the comparison size of the palette next to a NARS Eyeshadow Duo.  The eyeshadows themselves are also smaller than expected, about half the size of one of the NARS Eyeshadow Duo eyeshadows. 

However, the size can actually work in its favor - this is the ultimate travel palette.  I'm going away to Europe for about a month this summer and this is probably the palette I'll take with me, as it has an amazing range of shades: light neutrals to darker smokey shadows.  Despite the size discrepancy and the price ($59), there is no fault to this palette!

Longevity: 4.5/5
Pigmentation: 4.5/5
Packaging: 4/5
Texture: 3.5/5
Application: 4/5
Value For Money: 4/5

FOTD: NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette


If you saw my recent Palette Pandemonium post, you may have seen that I've recently added two new palettes to the collection - one of which is the new, limited edition NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette, featuring 15 gorgeous neutral-esque shades.  I won't bore you with the review again, but if you're interested, my full review is here.



As I'm neutral-toned, I often have to mix foundations together to get a good match, and the Armani and Dior mix perfectly together for a light to medium coverage base that matches my skin perfectly.  I also use three concealers for different areas of the face - combating redness with one, dark circles with another, and blemishes with the third (don't worry, I'm not crazy).




I went for a very light, everyday look with this palette - using only All About Eve I (top left of the palette) all over the lid and Madrague II (second from the left on the top) blended through the crease.  I think this look is quite Spring appropriate - meaning this may be a look I'll be wearing more and more as it starts to get warmer!





Because I went so neutral on my eyes, I decided to play up the Spring-tones even more by wearing a bright pink lip - this Chubby Stick packs a punch of color, while still remaining hydrating and lasting.  Two thumbs up!


Have you tried the new NARSissist Palette?  Are you lusting over it as much as the rest of the beauty community is?

NARS The NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette - Review & Swatches


Everyone and their mothers seem to be going on and on about the new NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette ($79), and with good reason!  This limited edition offering is taking the beauty world by storm with 15 of its most popular shadows housed in the brand's typical sleek, black, rubber packaging.  Ranging from pale beiges to dark browns, even including some purples and blues, this palette is the ultimate eyeshadow palette for the ultimate eyeshadow lover.

This palette has gotten quite a few mixed reviews, but I can say that I'm impressed.  I've found the shadows to be beautifully pigmented - sheerer than some high-end brands, but I personally prefer that.  Let's just say I don't want a bright blue eyeshadow packed on my lids, but a bit of a sheer wash?  That's something I could get on board with.


One thing I will say against the palette is how much smaller it is than I expected.  Having only ever owned eyeshadow duos from NARS, I was expecting the shadows to be a bit closer to full-sized.  The top photo shows a comparison in the size of the NARSissist palette in comparison to the Kalahari duo and the And God Created the Woman Palette.  The second photo shows a comparison in the size difference between the NARSissist palette and the eyeshadows between the Kalahari duo.

Yet, at the same time, it's not the worst thing, either.  I rarely hit pan on eyeshadows, and I doubt I'll hit pan on more than a few of the shadows in this palette!  Even if I did, 14 of the 15 eyeshadows are readily available in duos and singles from NARS, meaning I can easily buy a replacement if the need were to arise.

SWATCHES


 As you can see, some of the shades are more pigmented than others in the palette, the mattes especially don't swatch as nicely.  However, I have found these eyeshadows to overall be very pigmented once applied to the lid.  They also blend like a dream, making it easy to achieve a daytime look as well as a smoky eye from this palette.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this palette.  However, I would say it's only worth it if you love at least 5 or 6 shadows, as you can buy almost every single shade at any NARS counter.  

Longevity: 4.5/5
Pigmentation: 4/5
Packaging: 4/5
Texture: 3.5/5
Application: 4.5/5
Value For Money: 4/5 
Overall Rating: 8.17/10

Palette Pandemonium!


Although I am starting a spending ban, I purposely chose to start the ban the day after a certain palette was being released to Sephora - tricky, I know.  Despite not needing another neutral eyeshadow palette, I somehow justified buying two in one go.  However, these two hyped-up palettes were some things I couldn't not add to the collection.

This eyeshadow palette has been the talk of the beauty world for the past month, so once it was released on February 1st, I couldn't say no.  I own the NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Kalahari and it's one of my most used and loved eyeshadows.  That being said, a convenient palette filled to the brim with 15 shades that I don't own was bound to be a purchase I was going to make.  From blues to neutrals to purples, this palette is filled to the brim with gorgeous hues!

The second palette I purchased was a bit of a mix between an impulse buy and a purchase in the making.  After it was released in the limited edition spring line last year, I desperately wanted to get my hands on this bad boy.  However, I was living in Germany at the time, and there are no NARS counters in the entire country, so I had to miss out.  Once I saw that it was being brought back out, I wanted it even more!  After months of restraining myself, I quickly added to my digital cart - and I sure don't regret it!  I should add that this set also includes a sample of the NARS eyeshadow primer (my favorite) and a travel-size fluffy brush (which isn't half bad).

 Reviews for both of these palettes will be up within the next week (Saturday and next Wednesday, respectively), so be sure to check back!

I will say that the spending ban is officially in full swing!  I think I'll even extend the ban until April, as I really need to start saving up for my vacation this summer...

What are your opinions on NARS eyeshadows?  Do you own either of these palettes?  Do you think you'll get either/both (no judgement) of them?

February Beauty Wishlist


Due to my recent Spending Ban that I've just put into place, I've decided to share some items that I would gladly have in my make-up stash!

Josie Maran Argan Tinted Moisturizer ($38)
Despite not needing another base product in my life, I feel like this is the end-all and be-all of tinted moisturizers.  I love Josie Maran products and I desperately want to add this to my mix of products I own!  However, it's just going to have to wait a few months, until I finish up an old foundation.

 Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil ($46)
I'm almost to the end of my beloved Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Oil, and although I would gladly repurchase that bad boy, I think I want to try something new.  This Boscia beauty oil looks like the perfect mixture of hydration and replenishment.  Plus the bottle is a gorgeous vibrant red, not that that's a factor or anything...

 NARS The Multiple in 'Copacabana' ($39)
Even though I'm a bit of a highlighter fiend, I actually only own one liquid highlighter and zero cream highlighters (along with a fair few powder versions).  That being said, there seems to be a bit of a void in my highlighter wardrobe that Copacabana would fill perfectly.  Easy application, convenient for travel - this has me written all over it.

 Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Ethereal Light ($45)
Hello gorgeous!  I've been attempting to use up all of my powders, and although I still have two full-sized powders to use up, I'm trying very hard to resist this purchase.  This cool-toned powder would be amazing for neutralizing my foundation, which always tends to be slightly too yellow-toned.  I don't have a cool-toned powder and I feel like this could become a new daily staple for me.  Justification, justification.


What are you wishing for this month?

January Beauty Favorites


Another month has come and gone!  I don't know about you, but I'm already struck with Spring Fever.  I watch with anticipation as the thermometer slowly but surely gets above 0 degrees!  Moving on from that, besides a *slight* increase in temperature being a favorite of mine this month, I have found some gorgeous beauty products that I've been loving, too!

 Wayne Goss 'The Holiday Brush' ($85)
A bit of a splurge buy on my part, but after owning and completely loving his brush collection, I simply couldn't resist.  I also really love Wayne Goss, as a YouTuber, as well.  He's the only YouTuber that I've actually had the pleasure of meeting in person - so I always get a little inkling of the memory of meeting him whenever I use his brushes.  Moving on from that story, this is a beautiful brush.  It's quite large, which makes it perfect for just about anything relating to the face.  I tend to use it for contouring/blush work; however, it would also be great as a powder brush, too.  Very expensive, very much worth the price!  I believe this is also limited edition, so snatch it up, quick!

 Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in 'Espresso' ($9.99)
I'm a massive fan of gel liners, I find them easier to use than liquid liners and pencils.  However, there aren't too many wallet-friendly options for gel eyeliners out there, so when I saw this - it was love.  I have gotten a fair few compliments on this eyeliner, and it's so easy to use and long-lasting.  Even better - it comes with a pretty decent brush (two for one!).  The consistency and ease of use is also quite similar to MAC Fluidline, for about $6 cheaper.

 Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Mascara ($9.99)
Another drugstore find - this mascara does its job flawlessly.  No clumps, no brittle lashes, it just voluminizes and lengthens my lashes!  I would highly recommend this mascara - it's a little more expensive than other drugstore alternatives, but it's well worth it!

 MAC 'Painterly' Paint Pot ($20)
I bought MAC Painterly (review here) about a year ago and absolutely hated it.  However, once I ran out of my beloved NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (review here), I decided to simply use this paint pot up.  What I didn't anticipate is that this paint pot works almost, as well as the NARS one!  My eyeshadow can sometimes start to crease towards the late evening, but that doesn't even happen too often.  I also love how much product you get with this - it will definitely last me for about a year!  Nonetheless, don't use this as a base for other cream eyeshadows, it will crease like no other; but if you're using powder eyeshadows, this is gorgeous.

 Burberry Body EDP Rose Gold Edition (LE)
This beautiful perfume (review here) has been getting me compliments left and right for the past few months.  I'm on a mission to finish all of my perfumes up, and I'm on the last few spritzes of this one.  It's a warm, floral scent that is perfect for the cooler months!  I should also mention that I have the limited edition rose gold packaging; however, it is the exact same perfume as the regular Burberry Body EDP, just with different packaging!  I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new perfume, and I will definitely be purchasing a new one very soon.

 What have you been loving this month?  List them, or post links to your favorites, below, and I will definitely check them out!

FOTD: Study Saturday


The semester continues to drag on, meaning homework, homework, and more homework.  However, a few new items have made their way to the front of my make-up drawer and were begging to be used!



This foundation is quickly becoming a favorite of mine - the hydrating, light-weight formula is everything I look for in a foundation.  Unfortunately, the color isn't the best match for me - it's a tad too warm-toned; however, 0.5 seems to be a bit too pale for me - beauty problems, right?  Nonetheless, with enough blending I can make this shade work for me!
Burberry Sheer Luminous Powder in No. 01 Porcelain
This is another new addition and I'm in love!  Thanks A Latte has quite a sheer pigment, but it gives a slightly dark, shimmery cover to the lids - it's beautiful.  It's a golden taupe sort of color, which is perfect for everyday.  It's also the type of color that looks great on it's own, no need to add more unnecessary shadows, saving time and money.
This jelly-like blush gives the sheerest pigment, but can easily be built up.  I prefer to use a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to blend it in to the cheeks for a perfect flush, but the fingers can also be used with equal success!
This lipstick is the perfect nude for my skin-tone (fair, neutral).  It's described as a 'spicy warm beige', but I'd describe it as more of a pink-beige, as it doesn't look full-on beige.  It simply looks like a natural, glossy shade.  The formulation is also really lovely, as it is so glossy, it fades all in one, as opposed to fuller-coverage lipsticks that fade in the middle first!

How are you spending your weekend?

Sephora Haul: January 2014


Being the Beauty Addict that I am, Sephora is a dangerous place - a beautiful, magical place, but a very dangerous one as well (at least as far as my checking balance is concerned).  However, I haven't been able to restrain myself this month and have, therefore, spent my Christmas money away on beauty products.

L-R: Urban Decay Naked Foundation 1.0, Benefit Thanks a Latte, MUFE Iridescent Yellow Beige 126, Jose Maran Poppy Paradise, Marc Jacobs Reckless
I've been desperate to try this foundation for months; however, last year I put myself on a pretty strict foundation rule, not allowing myself to buy any new additions without finishing off some old ones.  All that being said, that rule looks like it was quickly thrown out of the window this year, doesn't it?  The coverage is really light, but it still evens out my skin-tone (which is my main use of foundation, anyway).  My only gripe is that this shade seems slightly too warm for me, so I may go back and try 0.5, instead.

This shadow has also been on my radar for quite a long time, so it seemed like time to finally bite the bullet.  Thanks A Latte is described as a 'golden brown', which seems like an adequate description, but I would describe it as more of a taupe than a brown - but the golden is definitely there.  It's absolutely stunning on the eyes, but it is quite a sheer eyeshadow formulation, rather than insanely pigmented!

This eyeshadow was a very spur of the moment decision, but I'm quite happy with the eyeshadow.  It's very appropriately named, it's yellow-toned beige with shimmer running through it - making it a perfect shimmery nude shade for the lids.  It looks particularly lovely with a warm brown shade through the crease (like MAC Wedge), but it also looks nice on its own for a simple eye look with a little hint of shimmer!

I'm quickly becoming a massive fan of cream blushers, so this was right up my alley.  The formulation is very light and almost watery.  The bright color immediately drew me in, as I want to start trying out new and exciting cheek colors for the Spring and Summer.  However, despite the scary color in the pan, it applies very sheer, but can easily be built up for a higher impact color, if desired.  Poppy Paradise is described as a 'warm toned hot pink', which is an accurate description.  That being said, it's not TOO warm-toned, those with cool-tones can easily pull this off!

I've been wanting to try something from the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line for a while, but I simply couldn't make my mind up about which product to try!  Eventually, I decided to try out one of his blushers.  Reckless is described as a 'cool rosy pink'; however, I would say there's definitely some purple in the shade as well.  It's a darker rose-mauve shade that is perfect for winter, but can still be whipped out for rainy Spring days, as well.

This will sadly be the last haul post for a while, as I'm putting myself on a spending ban until March, but I think I definitely have enough purchases to last myself until then!

Have you tried any of these products before?  Do you have any must-haves from Sephora that I should try out come March?

2013 Beauty Favorites


I may be a little late to the game on this one - but I've finally compiled my 2013 Beauty Favorites.  Better late than never, am I right?  

Although this isn't the largest selection of products, these are the few that really stood out to me this year! These six make-up products have seen me through thick and thin during 2013.

L-R: Clinique Bountiful Blush, Burberry Nude Radiance, NARS Penny Lane, Laura Mercier Grey Pearl
This lipstick is hands down my favorite lipstick of all time. It's the perfect MLBB shade, giving a light, glossy coverage to the lips.  It's described as a 'sheer dusty rose', which is a perfect description of the shade, minus the word sheer.  Although this formulation is sheerer than most, it still covers the lips with the dusty rose shade, and is higher coverage than most of the other Chubby Sticks I own.  I love this lipstick so much, I'm already on my second tube - all within one year, which is unheard of for me!

I've proclaimed my love for all things Burberry Beauty many times on this blog, and this highlighter is no exception.  A light, natural highlighter that doesn't look like you've gone overboard (like so many others - *cough* Dior Amber Diamond *cough*).  I've even hit pan on this already, as it's the highlighter I always reach for when I choose to use one! This shade in particular is more pink-toned, which I find looks more natural than gold-toned highlighters do.  Although it's quite pricey, I really feel like you get what you pay for with Burberry Beauty products!

NARS Cream Blush in Penny Lane
This is my all-time favorite blush, and sadly, it's being discontinued!  It's a beautiful nude-pink shade that blends into the skin seamlessly and truly looks like a perfect flush.  It's also super long-lasting, which adds 1000 points in my book, as most blushers fade within a few short hours!

This grey-tinged taupe cream eyeshadow stick is flawless.  It's a perfect everyday shade, that can be worn to the office, or can be built up and worn on an evening out, as well.  It also stays ALL DAY.  This has lasted 12+ hours on me, even without a primer (which is a major necessity for my oily lids, otherwise).  Overall, you can't go wrong with this formulation or this shade!

A cult favorite, no doubt, but this brow powder is what dreams are made of!  Ever since purchasing this, I haven't used anything else.  The long-lasting powder, and the perfect shade is something that I never plan to be without in the future.  I use the lighter of the two shades in this duo, and use a MAC 266 for perfect brows!

Although I trust Anastasia for the perfect brow shade, MAC is my go-to for making them last even longer.  The Clear Brow Set puts my brows in place for the rest of the day with one sweep of the wand.  As you can see, my brow gel is very much loved, and I'm in dire need of a new one!  However, I don't think I'm going to stray from the MAC Brow Set in future (after I finish up my other brow gels, of course).

What were your favorites this year?  Have you tried any of mine?

December Beauty Wishlist

Wishlist




Another day, another wishlist...

 Despite having two finals tomorrow morning, I still can't muster up all of my motivation.  With those words in mind, I opted to create a little list of a few things that I desperately want to add to my beauty collection.  Let's get started!

 Stella McCartney 'Stella' EDP
For the past six months or so, I've stopped buying perfumes and have decided to use up all of mine first.  However, six months down the road and my perfume collection is dwindling.  That being said, this rose-scented beauty is seriously taunting me!  Once I finish up another perfume or two, I'm definitely going for this perfume.

 Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palette in 'Dolce Vita'
I've been DYING to try out Charlotte Tilbury makeup ever since it's launch; however, it's beyond hard to find in the US, so I'll just have to wait until next summer when I'm finally back in the UK before I can get my hands on this baby!

 Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Fortifying Hydrator
As it's winter, my skin is begging for a really rich moisturizer, and this looks like the one for me!  Very hydrating and sinks into the skin? Yes, please.  However, I have a strict policy with moisturizers - I won't buy a new one until I'm out of the old one.  So, this purchase will have to wait a bit.

 rms Beauty Living Luminizer
I really don't need this.  But it looks SO PRETTY.  This extremely expensive splurge ($38!) will have to wait a few months before it can be justified.

 Bobbi Brown Powder Brush
Do I need another brush? No.  Do I want another brush? Yes.  Seriously though, I have an obscene amount of brushes that many family members and friends have commented on in the past.  However, I can't resist Bobbi Brown's brushes - they're pure heaven!


 Have you been craving any new beauty bits this month?  Have you added any of these items to the list?  Or rather, should I be adding anything to my list? Let me know!
