Cherry Culture/Ulta haul

Hello! Cherry Culture had a 20% off deal so I decided to place an order on their website. I also made a run to Ulta and got a few more things.


Ok so here we have mostly NYX products like the cream blush, HD grinding blush, 2 nail polishes, 3 round lipsticks, mega shine lipgloss, jumbo eye pencil, mascara, and lip liner. And I also bought the beauty blender, Macadamia healing oil treatment, and Milani baked blush.





Beauty Blender- I already own one but it was time for a new one. With the 20% coupon code I was able to buy two of them for the price of one. I absolutely can't live without this. It give such a flawless airbrush coverage.

NYX Cream Blush- in the color Glow. A very pigment blush. its a deep matte pink. Love this cream blush, I will definitely be purchasing more :)




NYX HD Grinding Blush- in the color Sangria in Madrid. This blush is pretty neat! You actually twist the top and it actually grinds it. This blush is very silky smooth and blends very well!



Milani Baked Blush- in the color Rose D'Oro. This one is my favorite colored blush from this haul. This is a peach shade with gold and pink shimmer. This blush is also very pigmented a dab of the brush applies a lot of color.


NYX Girls Nail Polish- in the color Pistachio. It's a light baby blue.

NYX Girls Nail Polish- in the color Lapis. It's a purple/blue shade.


NYX Lip Liner Pencil- in the color Rose. This is a barbie pink shade.



NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil-  in the color iced mocha. I like to use this as an eyeshadow base. Love this color!

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment- This stuff works amazing. I pair it with the Macadamia Oil leave in cream. Smells good too =)




NYX Provocateur Mascara- This mascara has 2 levels with one brush. You twist the top (level 1) and less product gets on the brush so this part is ideal for your bottom lashes and you twist the bottom (level 2) which is ideal for your top lashes.


NYX Mega Shine Lip gloss- in the shade La-La. A gorgeous hot pink shade! And the scent of lipgloss smells awesome! Smells like candy!


NYX Round Lipsticks- in the shades Femme, Gem, and Margarita. Femme is a bright coral with no shimmer. Gem is a hot pink w/shimmer, and Margarita is lighter coral shade w/shimmer. Perfect Spring and Summer shades!

Review: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Hello! This is going to be my review and thoughts on the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I own both the original Naked and Naked 2. The price of Naked 2 is $50.

I can honestly say I love both. I use both palettes almost everyday. Naked 2 has a lot more lighter colors than the original Naked. That's probably the biggest difference between the too.


Ok, so lets talk about the packaging. If your familiar with the original Naked the case is in a chocolate brown velvet case. Which is pretty neat and different, but I can't say its the best packaging because eventually the letters "Naked" start to rub off and of course it gets really dirty because everything sticks to it. This time Naked 2 is in an aluminum case and its also snaps shut. You also get a sample size of Urban Decay's lip junkie in the color Naked (this is a plumping lipgloss).

  
The colors of Naked 2 include lots of taupes. It has one repeated color from the original Naked in the color Half Baked which is a gold shade. Just like the original Naked; Naked 2 includes 5 new shades, and 3 matte shades.

This time the palette also includes a duo-ended brush one side is a blending crease brush and the other side is a flat shader brush. How awesome is that???

Here are the swatches of Naked 2. The colors include: Foxy (a matte cream colored highlighter), Half Baked (a gold shade), Bootycall (a shimmery beige light peachy highlighter shade), Chopper (an orangey copper color with glitter), Tease (a matte mauve), Snakebite (a deep brown with golden shimmer), Suspect (a frosted champagne), Pistol (a dark gray with slight brown shimmer), Verve (a silver beige), YDK ( a copper toned brown), Busted (a deep burgundy-brown looks almost purple), and Blackout (a matte black).

In conclusion, this palette is amazing the colors are very soft and blendable. It's definitely got great pigmentation besides the color foxy it doesn't really show up on my skin tone. I had to swatch it a lot for it to show up. Be very careful with the black it's extremely pigmented a dab with your brush should do it. My favorite shades would be tease, verve, and YDK. I wouldn't say you need both palettes being that the shades are quite similar. You would just have to decide if you want more lighter shades or more deeper shades which would be the original Naked.

Thanks for reading!

Mini Sephora Haul

Hello everyone :) I'm just going to show you the few things I had bought from Sephora last week. If u would like a review for any of the following products comment below.

 Ok, so here we have a small Buxom travel kit and the Too Faced Natural Flirt kit.
 This is the Buxom travel kit. It comes with the Buxom big and healthy lipstick in the color New Orleans. And the Buxom big and healthy lip polish in the color Tara.
The one on the left is the lipstick, its like a deep coral color and the lipgloss on the right is a sheer peachy pink with blue tone glitter. These products are plumping products so there is some slight tingling.


This kit comes with a makeup bag, lipgloss, eyelid primer, small retractable brush, mascara, single eyeshadow, and bronzer. The bronzer, lipgloss and eyeshadow are full size products. Also the eyelid primer is decently sized its bigger than the sample size I received from Sephora before.


This is the pink leopard brightening bronzer. The bronzer is a good all over bronzer/highlighter. I wouldn't use it for contouring though it has a lot of shimmer.



Now this is the eyeshadow in the color magic mushroom. Which is like a light pink with golden shimmers.


Here is the retractable brush. It's too small for a face brush and too big for an eye brush. So I'm not quite sure what I will use this for. But its still cute!

This is a plumping lipgloss in the color This is Pretty. Its a deep matte pink, so no shimmer at all.
This is just a sample size mascara. This is a silicon brush and its very skinny almost like the one from Tarte that I love.

And now the last thing is the eyelid primer in the color candlelight. Which is a shimmery golden shade.
Thanks for reading!
