Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review

Before I get into the review I’m gonna tell you a little story.  A couple of days ago I left my house in the morning after doing my makeup to go to the Sharks game with my sister.  I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing, but I shook it off and we left.  We went to eat and I decided to use the bathroom before the game.  While I was waiting for someone to open the door (because it had a handle and there were no paper towels to open it with) I finally realized what was missing, I forgot to put on mascara! Luckily there was a Sephora next to the restaurant so we zipped in and I picked up a mini of urban decay’s perversion mascara for just $10.

Review: I’ve been wanting to try this mascara, but I get so many  mascara samples from beauty boxes and free samples that I’ve never had any need until this moment.  I really like it, it curls, lengthens, and defines my lashes all in one step.  Over all a really nice and sleek product and the size and shape of the packaging is perfect for when you’re on the go.  I’ll be keeping this in my purse just in case I forget it again (which probably won’t happen, but you never know).

Eyeshadow Cateye Tutorial

I’ve been super into doing cateye looks with just eye shadows lately. It’s a lot more forgiving than using a liquid liner and it’s a little more subtle. Overall I love the look of an eyeshadow cateye; here’s how I do it.

I have been using 4 shades from the Kylie Cosmetics holiday kyshadow palette.

Shade 1: sugar cookie, Shade 2: gingerbread, Shade 3: nutcracker, Shade 4: silent night

I put shade 1 under my brow bone as a highlight with a mac 239 shadow brush, then I put shade 2 all over my lid with the same brush.  I put shade 3 in my crease with a sigma E40 blending brush and add shade 4 to the corner of my eye in a staight line up (like you would with eyeliner) with a sigma E70 angled brush and blend it inward

At the end I blend it all with the same sigma blending brush and add a coat of mascara, I hope you enjoyed.

Sephora Rewards

I recently redeemed a reward at Sephora, buxom sexy little things for 500 points.  I  don’t have much experience with this brand so I decided this was the perfect opportunity to test it out. 

First Impressions: I love the packaging of all the individual products, it’s all so pretty. It comes with four sample products: a mascara, a liquid lipstick, a lip gloss, and an eye shadow.

The mascara looks really good and I’m so excited to use it. I love the applicator, I definitely prefer a denser brush for my eyelashes.

The lipstick and lip gloss are both very pretty as well. Although the lipstick didn’t seem to dry and came off very easily when I swatched them, I’ll definitely have to try it on my lips to see if it stays on better.

And last, but not least the eyeshadow. This was definitely what I was most excited about because of how much I love eyeshadows. The color is so pretty and I’m very excited to try it.

Ipsy Glam Bag November 2016

This is only my third Ipsy glam bag and I’m obsessed. I love how it’s personalized, and reviewing products will affect your next glam bags according to what you did or didn’t like. So here’s a first impressions post on this months bag.

The first thing I pulled out was a Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, which I already have, because let’s be honest, who doesn’t. I gave this one to my mom though and i know it’s a great product.

I got Verb Ghost Oil which is a hair oil that’s support to be good for when you haven’t washed your hair in a while. I’m not really that into hair products, but I’ll try this out and see how it goes.

Next up I got a Skone Cosmetics brow wand eyebrow pencil in chocolate. This looks like my benefit cosmetics goof proof brow pencil and I’m excited to see how this one stacks up to the competition.

I got a Luxie Beauty rose gold small duo fiber brush. I love rose gold so I’m already a huge fan of this, I have a similar brush that’s much bigger that I use primarily for blending, hopefully this one will give a little more precision.

Finally, I got a LAQA & Co. B’lighter in peachers daughter (love the pun), it’s basically just a peachy toned cream highlighter. I’m all about that highlight so I can’t wait to try this one out.
