MAC Sweet Mamastarr Lipstick (Spring 2018) 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.

MAC Sweet Mamastarr Lipstick is a gorgeous shade that launched in the limited edition Me So Chic Kit ($49.50) that’s part of the PatrickStarrr Floral Realness Collection.

As you may already know beauty influencer, PatrickStarrr, has collaborated with MAC for the second time to create two different full-face sets that will be available on April 16th for the Spring 2018. Sweet Mamastarr Lipstick is included in one of these sets and is a rather stunning nude I think you’ll fall in love with as much as I did.

If nude shades of rose are your thing you might just love BH Cosmetics Rosey Raye Lipgloss! BH Cosmetics Rosey Raye Lipgloss was launched a few weeks ago and created in collaboration with youTuber, ItsMyRayeRaye, in a variety of formulas including lipstick and liquid lipstick.

Becca Dreamsicle Was Worth Jumping On Today

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

Becca Dreamsicle Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is a new, limited edition shade that launched today which I admit to jumping on top of as soon as I saw it launched. Friday our discount kicks in and Rouge Members can start taking 15% off their entire purchase at Sephora and Sephora.com but I admit I didn’t want to play a waiting game with Becca Dreamsicle for fear it would sell out fast.

I know, I know you’re thinking, “But you hate highlighters…!”

I do! I really do! But I have a certain love for Becca’s formula not to mention this safe is a gorgeous tangerine with gold pearl how could I resist that?! Orange, peach, coral, those are my favorite shades! I had to have this, you get it right?

I’m already thinking of which shades of blush I can combine with this yummy shade to get a pretty orange-y glow on my face.

I’m looking forwarding to getting it.

Becca Dreamsicle Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter is available now at Sephora.com. My advice? Don’t wait for Friday! I think this one will disappear by that time. Hopefully I’m wrong about that and in some ways I hope I’m not as I’ll kick myself for buying it full price.

Are you grabbing it?

Hard Candy Look Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick Review & Swatches

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

Hard Candy Look Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick is a new foundation and concealer stick that the brand recently launched with a $7 budget friendly price.

It seems like a lot of brands are launching foundation sticks for Spring/Summer and I’m quite ok with that as I find them very easy to apply, travel-friendly, and just an overall good choice for swiping on and going. I don’t wear a lot of foundation so quick swipe on and go works perfectly for me as I pay more attention to concealing under my eyes versus worrying about my foundation application which I tend to go more natural and sheer with. I feel like foundation sticks provide that sort of easy, light coverage without a lot of application effort.

I happen to be of the mentality that foundation is a splurge item as I find drugstore ones or cheaper ones aren’t that great. However, when I noticed Hard Candy Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick I didn’t hesitate picking it up. Why? Because Hard Candy has proven again and again and again they do know how to make affordable and high quality foundation and concealer formulas. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Mix”�in Pigment Makeup Drops and Hard Candy Heavy Duty Glamoflauge Concealer are just two such great products.

I’m having a love hate relationship with Hard Candy Look Pro Bare It All Foundation Stick at the moment.

Etude House Peach Farm Play Color Eyes Review & Swatches

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

The Etude House Peach Farm Play Color Eyes Eyeshadow Palette is everything I wanted the Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette to be. I don’t know, for some reason that palette disappointed me. It looked brilliant in promo images but after working with it I struggled to create looks using it. Perhaps I lack the skill or maybe the colors just weren’t what I expected them to be.

None the less, we’ve run through a lot of peach eyeshadow palettes and there’s even more to come since the peach theme seems to be hitting drugstores late this Spring.

Fact of the matter is, I’m not quite tired of peach and it’s still a shade I really like on my cheeks, on my lips, and on my eyes.
