Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette

Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette is still on sale at Sephora for $35. It has some beautiful colors and although many have said and I would agree that the pigmentation is not like other palettes from Urban Decay - it is still worth the money in my opinion.  Of course you have to be someone that loves colors to fully enjoy it.  Now as you can see in the photos- some colors are definitely more opaque than others but even the ones that didn't seem very good as arm swatches, preformed better once applied on the eyes (I was wearing primer). This is a fun palette many would enjoy...and remember spring is just around the corner. 

Morphe Liquid Lipsticks

From left to right- Jealousy, Peanut 

Morphe just recently came out with liquid lipsticks. I was a bit hesitant to purchase them...but who am I kidding :P... I bought two of them. I'm actually really glad I did because I ended up really liking the quality. The colors are beautiful and for $12.99 - you can't go wrong.  They didn't seem to be as drying as other liquid lipsticks and they lasted through my lunch. I'm sure I will buy more in the future. Check out their colors because they have a wide selection. Also, remember to use one of your favorite youtuber's coupon code to get an additional 10% off from your total purchase. Shipping on this purchase was only a couple of dollars.

Formula X Nail Polish

Lately I've been loving the Sephora Formula X nail polishes. It glides on and lasts a normal amount of time (about a week- I wash dishes by hand). I thought I would come on here and let you guys know because right now Ignite is on sale and it is a beautiful red. Usually these nail polishes are $10.50 but right now it's on sale for $5. So get yours before they run out :D

These nail polishes tend to go on sale from time to time - so make sure you look at the sale items on Sephora.

ColourPop Pressed Eyeshadows

ColourPop just came out with new pressed eyeshadows and the colors are beautiful. I of course grabbed the warm toned colors but they do have some cooler tone eyeshadows if that is your preference.  They go on very pigmented and blend easily.  The metallic colors are super creamy and remind me of some of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows because of their intensity. The matte shadows are a little powdery when you pick them up with your brush so be sure to tap off the excess. Other than that- they are awesome!  These retail for $5 and I'm sure they will be coming out with a lot more colors in the near future. So get your wallets ready! :)

ColourPop Lippie Stix

When it comes to makeup, you can never have too many lipsticks...or so I tell myself. ColourPop has some of the prettiest colors and pretty much everything on their site is $5. These Lippie Stix last a long time and are highly pigmented- one swipe and you are done. They have different finishes, from satin, metallic, matte, crème, sheer to ultra matte. Depending on which formula you end up getting, the wear time is different.

I have a lot of the mattes and ultra mattes and they are long lasting- even after I eat, I don't really have to reapply. The ultra mattes can be a bit drying - so you might want to put on a lip balm before you apply.  This formula reminds me of a more comfortable liquid lipstick or a long wearing lip liner if you were to put it all over your lips. They have a nice scent to them and as you can see the packaging is super cute.

The downside is the fact that ColourPop comes out with new colors so often you are always just trying to keep up and they become a sort of obsession.

Let me know what some of your favorite colors are in the comments down below.

These are a few of my favorite colors.  I love the fact that ColourPop makes lipsticks for all skin tones.

Smashbox Ablaze

So I obviously enjoy warm color eyeshadows! A formula I just recently tried was the Smashbox Ablaze Eye Palette- guys...it is seriously so pretty!! The colors are beautiful and they are easily blended. They are pigmented and last all day.  It has all the colors you would need to create a dramatic or a subtle look, so no need to get other eyeshadows out.  I'm tempted to pick up more- since there is a total of 7 different palettes in the line. This is perfect for traveling.

On the downside, the eyeshadow pallet is small, when I first got it I was quite shocked at the size of it (seemed to be a bit longer than a credit card :O ) but if we are honest ....especially if we are makeup lovers, when do we really ever finish an eyeshadow palette?  It retails for $29 which is a little steep considering the size of it, but I am happy with it- so I don't regret buying it.

Go out and try one ...they have a palette for everyone.

Best Eyeliners

I have been wearing eyeliner for over two decades! Honestly, I can't leave the house without it. These three are some of the best eyeliners I have tried. :)

My go to eyeliner is the Kat Von D Tattoo liner either in Trooper which is jet black or Mad Max Brown which is dark enough that it almost passes as black. Lately, I have been using Mad Max Brown for work which is a big deal for me because I have never used a brown eyeliner. These eyeliners last all day and do not smear at all.  They retail for $20.00 and will last a couple of months. They are my favorite because they apply so easily - especially when I'm rushing for work.

My second choice would the Tarte Clay Pot Waterproof Liner  (Sephora carries it as well). This gel eyeliner is SUPER pigmented as well as long lasting. You can find it in 11 other colors, although I just stick with black. This eyeliner is super smooth and creamy and very easy to apply. It retails for $21.00 but Tarte's website always has discounts so sign up to get their emails.

My third favorite eyeliner is the L'Oréal® Paris Infallible 24HR Lacquer Intense Gel Eyeliner which you can find at your local drugstore. This one is also super creamy and dark black.  It retails for $6.99 and you might even be able to find coupons for it. This gel eyeliner glides on so easily you will question why you had never tried it before...and you might actually like it more than your high end eyeliner.
