Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush Blush In Pop Of Peach Review & Swatches









Couple of months ago Maybelline released new baby skin cheek blushes in this super cute packaging. I picked this blush up and have been trying it out and now it is time for review. They released this for Fall 2015 collection, I was really excited when I heard this was from the Baby Skin line. The packaging is adorable it has a kind of shark fin on top when you take the top off you can see the small blush. The blush and the top are one piece and the plastic container is one piece. This makes it very easy to apply the blush onto your cheeks. 

Pop Of Peach is a pretty light peach shade that goes on kind of glossy on the lids. The formula is very hydrating and kind of gel like so this is not great for people who have oily skin. I have dry skin so this suited very well on top of my cheeks. I applied it just like it is and blended it out with my fingers and it looked very greasy kind of. I feel like the gel formula is very pigmented that's why it makes your cheeks look very oily and shiny. I have not tried it with a powder blush yet on top but I feel like it wont work out that great. The one disappointing thing about this blush is that it only lasts a couple of hours on the cheeks. Over all I am not that impressed with this blush hopefully they can remake the formula and come out with more shades next year. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this blush. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Revlon Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette in Romantic Nudes Review & Swatches










A lot of drugstore companies have been coming out with eyeshadow palettes at some high prices. I have tried a bunch and some I am impressed with some I am very disappointed. Recently Revlon released 2 new eyeshadow palettes called Not Just Nudes. I picked up both of them and have been trying them for a while now. After trying these shadows for a while and playing around with them with primer and no primer I have finally come to write this review. 

First of all lets talk about the packaging, it has a clear front and includes 10 eye shadows. The packaging feels light and the plastic feels very cheap. If I am spending over $10 for an eyeshadow palette I at least want some good packaging or sturdy. Now to the shadows which are cooler toned in this palette. These shadows are fairly pigmented but as soon as you swatch and try to blend them out they disappear. Some of the shades are powdery and don't apply well with or without primer. The purple shade in the end had too much fall out and will not blend at all, like some other shades. These stayed on my lids for a couple of hours and started fading away. Some of the shadows seemed dry to so I had to really dig in with my brush to apply them. Over all I am not that impressed with this eye shadow palette. This is Revlons first time at a whole eye shadow palette but for next time I hope they do a little better. I wouldn't pay over $10 for this type of quality product. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this palette. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Maybelline Gilded In Gold Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches ( Holiday 2015)











The holidays are here and of course holiday makeup palettes are out. This is the first time I have seen a holiday makeup palette from Maybelline. I was really intrigued with this palette and I had to pick it up from my local drugstore. First of all the packaging is so beautiful, I love how the palette opens up to reveal eye shadows and than another compartment that has a highlighter and a blush. It is so beautiful and I love the colors in this palette. This palette costs from $12-$15 depending on where you get it from and if it is on sale.

This palette comes with four eye shadows that are very neutral and are for everyday wear. The shadows are pigmented but not that much. I feel like they are a little powdery too, applied with a primer these shadows are great. The blush is so pretty for everyday use, it is a matte apricot blush and goes on very smoothly on the skin.  The highlighter is a shimmery light pale shade which does not look great on my skin tone. Also this palette includes a red gloss which is pretty and perfect for the holidays. The gloss is very pigmented but it is very sticky and does not last a long time on the lips. It also comes with a black kohl eyeliner which is kind of stiff. Over all I am okay with this palette, I like the eye shadows with a primer they are great for everyday look. The blush I like the most because it is prefect for my skin tone and I wear this everyday. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this palette. Have you picked it up? Thank you for reading and have a great day.
