Laura Geller The Gilded Collection 6 Piece Golden Must-Haves for $49

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Guilty as charged I ordered the Laura Geller The Gilded Collection 6 Piece Golden Must-Haves Collection because I’m so damn weak. To add insult to injury I got the auto-delivery! Head desk! I’m using the, “but it’s so cheap!” excuse.

This one includes full-sizes of:

  • Baked Balance-n-Brighten (Choice of Shades)
  • Baked Blush-n-Brighten in Apricot Berry (golden peach pink)
  • Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey (radiant caramel honey)
  • Kajal Longwear Eyeliner in Gilded Bronze
  • Baked Eyeshadow in Honey Butter/Brodeaux Buzz (warm nude and deep plum brown)
  • Color Luster Lipgloss in Honey Caramel (rosy nude with rose pearl)

It’s such a beautiful selection of Fall shades I couldn’t resist. Sadly, I have way too much Balance-n-Brighten already but I got it in a deeper shade so I can give it to a friend of mine who likes it.

The set is either available as a one time purchase or auto shipment which includes a second and third shipment with the same products in brand new shades for the same price that arrive in January 2018 and May 2018.

Here’s a look at the second shipments.

Colourpop No Filter Concealer Review & Swatches

I finally got my Colourpop No Filter Concealer after a little drama with the shipping. No Filter Concealer is a lightweight, creamy formula that promises to blur imperfections with a crease-proof matte finish. It’s available in quite a wide shade selection and the best part is the budget friendly six buck price tag. Can’t beat that right?

I ordered a few shades the day it launched and about 8 days later I got the wrong items with an invoice addressed to someone else and a label on the box addressed to me. I was headed away for the weekend so I grabbed the invoice as I went out the door, snapped a picture, and sent an e-mail to Colourpop telling them I got a box addressed to me but the items and invoice weren’t mine. They replied that I’d have to take photos of the address label and photos of the contents of the box. For some reason, this got me rather pissed off. It took a while to get the concealer and now I was away with no way to take photos which would mean more wait time for my items. I also didn’t love the fact they needed all this proof to correct their own mistake. Shrug!

I finally got my order a week later but yeah, it put me off Colourpop a bit. I’ve had really good customer service from them up until now. Oh well.

Anyway, I here’s some thoughts, review, and swatches on Colourpop No Filter Concealer!

It Cosmetics Perfect Lighting Radiant Touch Magic Wand Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

It Cosmetics Perfect Lighting Radiant Touch Magic Wand ($29) is a new concealer pen that acts to correct, brighten, and conceal imperfections around your face or eye area which has a formula infused with anti-aging peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, licorice root and green tea. This seems like It Cosmetics nod to products like Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Concealer and Dior Flash Luminizer Radiance Booster Pen. I happen to be a massive fan of the Dior Booster Pen but Perfect Lighting is cheaper so, hey, I’d totally switch of the formula was as good.

Let’s take a look at my review and swatches and see if it is.

Pacifica Banana Love Deep Intensive Moisture Mask Review

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

It seemed like a good time to review and share my love for Pacifica Banana Love Deep Intensive Moisture Mask considering I was just talking about bananas and hair masks in my Body Shop post a little bit ago.

I know some people who simply hate bananas and how they smell. I personally love them and I adore how they smell. So, sure, why not, I don’t mind my hair smelling like bananas.
