Bare Minerals The Nude Beach Ready Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

QVC.com recently debuted a new Summer 2014 Bare Minerals The Nude Beach Ready Eyeshadow Palette and I had to admittedly snatch it up! I can’t not own every single shade of Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 8.0 Palettes, they’ll empower me to take over the planet at some point (not really but a girl can hope!).

Bare Minerals The Nude Beach Ready 8.0

Bare Minerals The Nude Beach Ready Eyeshadow Palette is my perfect palette for Summer look as it contains gorgeous creams, bronzes, coppers, and other delightful nude, natural shades.

Unfortunately it does contain a rerun shade or two so you might already own some of these colors, double check your Ready 2.0 palettes prior to a purchase. I probably own a few of these shades myself but is it terribly of me to admit I don’t mind!? I like having them all in one handy palette…that’s ok right?

Maybelline Jelly Glow Blush Review & Swatches

Maybelline Jello Glow Blushes

Recently I did a post about Maybelline Japan Products I Wish Were Available in the US and I realized that Maybelline Jelly Glow Blush was a product I mentioned in the post and I HAD!

Dontcha love shopping your own stash? These were buried in a pile of to be reviewed products and I had forgotten about them. This is probably going back nearly a year EEP!

So I dug around and I located the Maybelline Jelly Glow Blush and decided to see how they compare to the formula of the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush that released in the US. Technically speaking Jello Glow came first so it was a safe assumption that the formula released here to our market would be a dupe.

Stila Evangeline Color Balm Lipstick Review & Swatches

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

Stila Color Balm Lipstick Evangeline

Stila Evangeline Color Balm Lipstick is that perfect shade of dusky rose that quite reminds me of my all time favorite shade of MLBB (my lips but butter) lipstick. Betcha know the shade I’m preaching about? Lipstick Jean Queen!

Of course, it isn’t an exact dupe but I tend to adore dusky shades of rose as they are quite nice MLBB shades for me.

Take a peek see what I’m raving about.

Fortune Cookie Soap Talkin’ Smack Lip Scrub Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Fortune Cookie Soap Talkin' Smack Lip Scrub

I absolutely adore Fortune Cookie Soap Talkin’ Smack Lip Scrub! Ok, so I’m a fond fan of Lush Bubble Gum Lip Scrub but it tends to dry out and get really hard within a week or two of purchasing it. I dunno why but it hardens so badly for me 🙁

That’s why I’m quite excited about Fortune Cookie Soap Talkin’ Smack Lip Scrub. This is a more refined sugar scrub so I have a feeling it likely won’t harden up! I’m going on week two with it and so far it’s as soft as the day I opened it!

Yay!

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer & Blush Review & Swatches

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer & Blush

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer & Blush are a new Summer 2014 launch that are available now at drugstores for $4.99 each in three different shades.

I don’t use a ton of bronzer but when I do I typically use it along with blush because it makes the finish a bit more wearable to me as bronzer alone makes my skin look a bit lackluster and dull.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer & Blush is a nice idea as it combines both a bronzer and a blush but you’re actually getting more bronzer in the compact than blush.

Take a look!
