Too Faced and Kat Von D Better Together Cheek and Lip Set Review

This is another part of the Better Together Collection that  they  put out for their Collaboration.

First  let me talk about this  adorable  make up bag. One  side  feature Jarrod's Dog and  the Other  Feature Kat's cat.  The  bag is small  but the  overall design is perfect for this  set. It  shows the look and  feel for  both brands equally.

This is  what is  included in the  set as a  whole.  The bag,  2 Kat Von D lipstick minis and  2 Too Faced Cheek minis.

The Too Faced  products  are a Rosy Glow highlighter (gold one) in Candlelight which is one I already have I got in  the  Glow Kit  I reviewed around the  beginning of the year. It's a subtle hint of glow. The  other one is  a Love Flush blush (pink one of course)the color is  So Happy Together. It is not too dark  like some of the ones that I have  gotten in the  past. I'm really  pleased with both of them.

So I'm obsessed with Kat Von D  beauty. Which is the main reason I got this set (tbh). In this kit it came with a  Studded Lipstick in Muse and a Everlasting Liquid  Lipstick in XD. I love these colors. I'm really into dark colors and  bright colors, not so much nudes. Which the  studded lipstick looks like a  nude color but it's  actually on the  dark  side. Probably cause I'm just  super pale.


Overall I'm very happy with this  adorable  little kit. I got it from Kat Von D website since Sephora was  sold out. Right now they are on sell for $19 instead of the  $32 they  previous were so  go  snatch them up. Definitely  worth it.

April Sephora Play Box Review

First  off lets  talk about this month's bag. It's  cute. Simple and  I love the saying. I wish the  girl had  different  colored  hair. Make like sometimes  rainbow  going on and no just  red. However I like it, Cause it's usually a  blond or a  brunette never a  red head. So it's nice to  see something  random and  different.

This Primer was the  first one I ever tired out of a Ipsy bag actually. I love it. It  goes on smooth and  leave you skin feeling even and it really preps it  for caking on 6 pounds of makeup.

I recently  just  tried a  sample of this before getting it in  this  box. I was  really pleased with it. It smells  terrible but is  very  effective. I was really pleased with how my skin looked and  felt after wards. I would  definitely  recommend  giving it a try.

They  always  send a  perfume sample. I love getting Marc Jacobs one. Because I adore Marc Jacobs. This one is nice and  it's not too overwhelming and it  give you that  happy effect. I love  perfumes like that. Once you smell it, it give you that  calming  happiness effect.

I'm a  big fan of  Make up For Ever. Everything I've  tried  from  them is  eye makeup. It's all amazing. This is  the same. It goes on  dark and it hard to  wear off  if you just  rub it. Which is  perfect especially  when you have a  bad  habit of  forgetting you have makeup on and  rub you eye. I would  highly  recommend it.

When I first  started  investing in  Sephora this was the  first  makeup remover I tried. Cause it  was cheap and I need something. I lucked out with it. It's  great just a  little  goes a  long way and it's  effective. I never have to  scrub, one swipe and it's  gone. Plus for a  big  bottle it's not  much and  definitely  worth it.

This was  my  first  time trying this  brand. I was  extremely  pleased with it. A little goes a long way and it  leave your  skin feeling  hydrated. I'm gonna invest in big time. Right now  Sephora has a  sample pack of  several of their creams.

All in All I'm  very  happy with this  months  bag. It has some of  my favorite and  some  new things in  it  that I was  excited to  try. For  $10 a  month it's  worth it  to  get  these little sample to  try  before you  just  buy a  full size and  waste your money.

April Ipsy Review

The  April Glam Bag  was  a lovely  surprise. First let me talk about this bag.

I adore this  Ticket bag. I think it's  a  clever  idea and it's  perfect. I'm not a   fan of  orange tons and this is a  coral meets orange but I still  love it. It's a  good  size  without being  too small.

So I'm a  Nail Polish freak. I usually  don't  like  neutral  tones, I prefer bright bold  colors. These however I was  surprised by and  instantly  fell  in  love with them. They are just the right colors to  not  be  so  boring.  The  gray is a  dark shade and the  tan is  just a  shade  darker than my  actually  skin color.  I used  3  coats of  each and it  was  perfect. I'm very  happy with them. So happy I got on Meg Cosmetics  website and  order  3  more sets. Which I will do  another   post about those.

This is  the  first time I've had a  change to  use Jesse's Girl. This is a  Eyeliner and it  has  exactly  what I want in  an eyeliner. It's black and bold and  goes on  smooth. It's  perfect and it's  a little  water proof  which never  hurts.

I have been  very happen with all the Avene  products that I've  gotten a  chance to   try. This one  is  smooth and leaves the  skin feeling the same. It last  for all day I didn't have to  re apply like I do with some  moisturizers. Definitely one that I would  invest in.

This is  the  first time I've  heard of this  brand or  used it. It's a nice lip balm. It isn't  cakey or smells  terrible like some do. I keep it on my desk when I can't  find my go to EOS.

I really  love Ciate London. It's  one of  my  favorite  brands at the moment. So I was  excited about this till I got it. It's  a bronzer but it's  the  same  color as my skin and  not  very effective. I'm sure I can find  something  to   use it  for but if  you are  pale  like I am. Good Luck to  you.

All in  all I'm very pleased with this month bag. The product I got I'm excited about for the  most  part. The only thing I was  upset about for this one  was  the Lisa Frank  makeup  brush that I didn't get..... I was pissed about that. But  I preordered it and I'm  happy now.

Botanical Mask Review

 

I got this  mask in  an Ipsy  bag. The  mask it great. It  goes on  smooth and is  really  refreshing. It's super cold though even though I had it store at  room temp. It did leave my  skin feeling soft and  refreshed. The only issue I had with it. The  entire  back of the  packaging in is Chinese (?), not really  sure so  I went with the  instruction on another mask I had and  left this mask on  for 15 mins which  most  mask call for.

I do suggest these  mask if  you come  across them.  They  are worth it.

Not that Kind of Girl Review

This  book is amazing.  If you are a  fan of Lena Dunham or  you aren't it's  worth the  read.  She tells  stories of her childhood, college, camp, and  even when she  started out.  She is  easy to  relate to and I found a comforting effect from the book in the fact that  we have some of the  same  thought  processes. Its nice to  know that someone out there especially  someone  famous has some of the  same thought or  goes through the  same struggles.

I would highly  recommend this  book if  you want some heartfelt stories or you are just  a  fan of hers in  general.
