Review: Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Colors! (+ Swatches!)

Spring/Summer Shades!

Brights = Spring & Summer right? RIGHT! Today I have a colorful review for you and it's all about the NEW Jordana Sweet Creams Matte Liquid Lip Colors! Jordana claims that these are a liquid to velvet formula that keeps the lips feeling comfortable and never dry. Big claims... lets get into the details! :-)

They retail for $4.99 which makes them the most affordable liquid lipsticks in my collection! You can find them at Walgreens, Kmart or if you're an online shopper like myself you can order directly from the Jordana website.There's 12 shades available on the site and all the shades look beautiful! I wanted some bright colors in my life, specially in the liquid form and these have proven to be great.

The applicator is comfortable and helps with precision. They smell amazing, like vanilla frosting! It doesn't linger but it will leave you craving a cupcake haha. The formula reminds me of the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes... but better. They are sister companies which means they release very similar products but I've had better luck with the Jordana formula. They are very longwearing which is my biggest pro! I wore one on 6 hour road trip and it looked amazing till the very end!

Here are the shades I have! Some brights and some nudes, overall super pretty shades! I will say they aren't consistent across the board. Raspberry Tart and Tiramisu went on nicely and opaque in one layer. Mixed Berry Souffle and Mango Sorbet were a little patchy but another layer did the trick. Creme Brulee was the patchiest but it's the lightest shade. They all layer beautifully in my opinion so I don't mind having to build them up. The dry down in seconds and then they stay put all day! :-)

I'm a fan of this formula! They are comfortable and stay put which is what I look for in liquid lipsticks. The packaging is simplistic which is fine by me because the cost will stay low. You can't beat $4.99 and the color selection! Definetely give these a try and if you have let me know your thoughts down below!

My Everyday Brow Routine! (Drugstore Edition!)

Quick & Easy!

I have thicker brows and always thought that it wasn't necessary for me to fill them in, just pluck and go. Boy was I SO wrong! haha. I've been through a brow journey... trying to find what works and what doesn't. I previously enjoyed the NYX brow pomade but now I have a NEW brow routine that's a lot quicker! Brows are personal preference, I'm pretty happy with how they're looking lately and if you want to know what I've been using keep reading! :-)

*L'Oreal Brow Stylist Prep & Shape Pro Kit in Medium to Dark - This kit was heaven sent! It comes with everything you need to prep and fill in your brows. The tweezers are really good, the spoolie and angled brow brush gets the job done right, really great tools to have. I use the wax to outline and shape my brows and then I go in with the brow powder to fill in. The colors are perfect for me but if you need something lighter they do sell the light to medium kit! It's $15 which is totally worth it to me since it comes with everything you need and it's so tiny!

*Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara in Browny Brows- This is one of my favorite purchases in a long time! First, it's only $2.99! Second, it works so well! I highly recommend this product because it helps keep your brows in place and it also contains tiny fibers that makes your brows look fuller! I love to use it on it's own for a quick brow day or after using the L'Oreal kit. I use it to take away the powdery look after using the kit. Can't say enough great things about this product! :-)

If you're looking for products to spruce up your brows I would recommend these in a heartbeat! The best part.... they are at the drugstore! Completely accessible and coupons are always available!

Review: CoverGirl RosesTruNaked Shadow Palette! (Swatches & Look!)

NEW Formula!

The Drugstore has been killing it lately! Tons of new items are being released, including the CoverGirl TruNaked line! I haven't had much luck when it comes to drugstore palettes. The L'Oreal ones were good but I must say... this new line is way more impressive! I do own all three palettes but today I'll be reviewing the CoverGirl Roses TruNaked Shadow Palette!

The color scheme is so pretty! CoverGirl stepped it out of the box with this one, I just love the tones! I've tried CoverGirl shadows before, older trios and quads but I was never fond of the pigmentation and texture. The formula of these shadows is totally on the other side of the spectrum. They are smooth, pigmented, buttery... just amazing. I appreciate the range of finishes too! The mattes happen to be my favorites from this palette because they blend so easily!

Here are the swatches! The shadows are slightly powdery but not too bad. Here's a simple and quick look I created. The rose-coppery gold shade is stunning! I love wearing that shade all over the lid... I would recommend to get the palette for that shade alone haha.

The palette is priced at $12 at your local drugstores and Ulta. I think it's a reasonable price but don't forget to use the $3.50 off $10 coupon at Ulta to get a better deal! ;-)

Review: Too Faced "Peanut Butter and Jelly Eye Shadow Collection!" (Swatches + Look!)

Cutest Palette Ever!

Too Faced... can you get any cuter?! :-) I got my hands on the NEW Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette and truly adore it! If you know me you would know that I <3 warm tones when it comes to shadows and this palette is perfect for me. It retails for $36 and comes with 9 amazing, buttery shadows!

It goes without saying that the packaging is everything! It's so adorable, compact and has a slight peanut butter + chocolate smell!

Here is the layout! I love the color selection and the pop of color. Even though most of the colors are in the same color family you can definetely create tons of different looks.

The shadows are so silky and so easy to work with! The matte shades are my favorite... they blend like a dream!
Here are two looks I created using this palette ^__^!

Bottom line: The concept is so cute and the formula is unbeatable! The looks above lasted a whole work day without creasing and looking just as vibrant as when I applied it at the beginning of my day. I highly recommend this palette if you love warm colors just as much as I do! :-)
