Today Fenty Beauty released their Mattemoiselle Plush Matte lipstick and I had the opportunity to play around with them in store while I worked today. Of course, I had to get my hands on a couple of my favorite colors, who would I be if I didn't?

Before my birthday I hauled a good amount of Pat McGrath products, one of them being the new LiquiLUST 007 kit in "Skin Show". The LiquiLUST 007 kits consist of 3 brand new liquid lipsticks, a micro-fine pigment, and the clear vinyl gloss. They come in two color collections, "Skin Show" and "Colour Blitz". Considering my liking for out-there lip colors one might think I would've bought the "Colour Blitz" kit but this time around I decided to go the more nude route.

Truth be told I've been stocking up on a few eyeshadow palettes for the past few weeks that have caught my eye and have been excited to swatch and review them, but I'm somehow only just now getting around to it. I had originally planned on starting with another product, but since I waited for so long to start writing these blogs I figured I'd start out with possibly my favorite palettes I've purchased during this haul of mine. Luck had it that the new Natasha Denona Holiday Eyeshadow 5 Palettes arrived at my store and you know I had to grab them up immediately. What originally caught my eye was the astonishing colors but, to no surprise knowing Natasha Denona, the quality has made me fall further in love.

It's virtually impossible to have a passion for makeup without understanding the importance of skincare. If there's anything I'll shamelessly splurge on in life outside of makeup, it's a new product for my skincare regime. I have my fair share of holy grail and irreplaceable products I use in my skincare routine but that doesn't stop me from occasionally trying new things. I recently tried out the Korres Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir, and the results I've seen in just a short period of time have had me wondering where this has been my whole life.

On September 8th Rihanna launched her very own makeup brand, Fenty Beauty. Her, her team, and any and everyone involved in the creation or launch of this brand kept it top secret and confidential. In my opinion, that was a smart move. Today, a brand can't release anything without having the success or failure of it based solely on whether or not the Youtube beauty gurus with millions of subscriber enjoys the product. This way, everything was kept a mystery and unbiased. If you wanted to find out if you'd like something, you actually had to go out and see for yourself. Being the makeup lover that I am, and having the huge crush on Rihanna that I've had since I was young, I was one of those that jumped out on launch day to get what I could.

I recently picked up another beauty product that I had listed in my spring releases wishlist, the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Androgyny palette. After hearing a lot of mixed reviews on his first eyeshadow palette, Beauty Killer, I didn't think I'd ever be so fixed on getting my hands on one of this brand's palettes. But when I saw the reveal of the shades and swatches, I knew it was something I'd have to add to my collection.

If you've been subscribed to my youtube channel for a while (shameless plug: here's my youtube!) you'd know that I went through this short phase of making review videos on different foundations in search of that perfect one for me. Finding the perfect foundation is one hell of a journey. Needless to say, at this point I do have a couple of holy grails but I've become somewhat of a foundation addict.

I'm a little behind on getting this review out, truth be told I purchased this the day it was released in stores. Kat Von D recently released two new absolute hit palettes, one of them being the Pastel Goth eye palette.

I've noticed that I tend to really stick to my ways when it comes to foundation. I find one that I see as flattering and don't bother thinking that there could be something even better out there for me. I've recently decided to try to broaden my foundation horizons and step out of my Tarte Amazonian Clay box. There's a good list of foundations that I'd like to try out, but I decided to start with Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super-Charged Oil-Free Foundation.

I truly never thought there'd come a day where I'd be more disappointed in a foundation than I was with the Marc Jacobs Genius Gel, let alone a foundation by one of my favorite makeup brands.

Ever since I heard about the Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation, my hopes have been high. Becca being one of my favorite brands and just look at that name. "Aqua Luminous Perfecting"? It sounds like perfection in a bottle. It sounds like everything I could ever ask for. It sounds like something only found in dreams. Today I realized that something that good really can only happen in a dream, and this foundation was just too good to be true.
