Stila Convertible Color returns

Ahhh Stila Convertible Color! I remember when these launched! They were a highly innovative product way back in the day. Think about it, a cream blush that could be used on your cheeks but also, on your lips. Amazing! The height of a unique blush experience.

Nowadays, multitasking products are pretty common place but believe me when Convertible Color came on the scene it was pretty amazing!

I likely own all the colors and I tend to rotate them into my collection when Spring and Summer arrives because the color is intense, easy to apply, and it actually lasts on my skin. You see, my dry skin eats cream blush for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I like the way cream blush applies, love the way it looks, but it lasts too short a time on me. Bobbi Brown Rouge Pot and Convertible Color are two of the cream blushes that actually last long on me.

Good news if you’re interested in checking these out as they are on sale today only at Ulta.com for $12.50 and they ship free for Platinum or Diamond Reward Members. With Summer on the horizon if you’re looking for lasting, dewy, easy to apply color these little babies don’t disappoint.

Happy Hauling!

Benefit Gold Rush Blush 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.

Benefit Gold Rush Blush is a new warm golden nectar shade that launched for Spring 2018 and will be added to the brand’s permanent Box o’ Powder Collection. I was pretty excited about this shade since the description reads like it’ll give you a pretty flush of apricot or coral but a quick glance at promote images and the shade looks like a lighter tan peach.

I was fine by either in all honesty as I’m a fond fan of anything peach, pink, coral, or apricot that has a golden sheen or glow. I think gold adds something very pretty to those shades. However, I was prepared when I first saw Gold Rush Blush and noticed the fine golden sparkle that decorated the speckled surface of the blush. I already knew that fine golden sparkle was just an overspray and would dust away after the first application. That’s just the breaks with Benefit Box o’ Powders.

Let’s take a look at my thoughts, review, and swatches below.

It Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact & Airbrush Smoothing Foundation Brush #102 50% at Ulta Today

I was compensated by a brand or company but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Heads up It Girls and Guys the It Brushes for Ulta Airbrush Smoothing Foundation Brush #102 is $11 bucks today and the It Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact is $19 both ship free as well if you’re a Platinum or Diamond Member as part of today’s Ulta 21 Days of Beauty one day deal! The brush is a killer deal considering the fact that It Cosmetics make some fine brushes with super soft brushes so, at $11 bucks this is a steal. It’s a smaller paddle brush with fluffier brushes which can be used with liquid foundation, cream foundation, or BB or CC Cream. The smaller head ensures you can get around the contours of your face easily without creating a streaky finish and the fluffy bristles allow you to get that airbrushed finish.

I’m actually a huge fan of CC+ Veil Beauty Fluid Foundation and wish that would go on sale one day soon. Confidence in a Compact launches last January and quickly gathered up a cult following. This is a creamy balm with a sheerer finish in my opinion that gives skin a natural finish. I like subtle coverage so, I’m pretty much all about any product that gives it to me but I do dislike the heavy feel of cream compacts. It’s odd because most will recommend a cream compact for anyone with drier skin but I tend to avoid them as they remind me of grease paint. Confidence in a Compact is actually quite light and think compared and doesn’t have the thick, emollient texture of a cream compact which makes it a fairly pleasantly formulated foundation. I find the texture tends to sit on top of my skin though and looks a bit patchy when my skin is extra dry. I think if you have oily skin or normal skin it’ll work better. Needless to say at 50% off it’s worth a try to see if it’ll work out for you versus paying full-price at $38!
