Primark Mini Beauty Haul


I'm just going to put it out there. Primark just may be my favorite store ever. As an American, I had not had the privilege of experiencing Primark in all it's glory until they finally opened one up at the King of Prussia mall in Philadelphia. My friends and I are super obsessed with Primark. They have so many products like women clothing, men clothing, clothes for baby, shoes, lingerie, pajamas, beauty, accessories, and home. The store is gigantic but everything is well placed, organized, and there's (I think) three areas where you can check out. 

So for this mini haul I wanted to talk about the beauty items that I got at Primark and in a separate blog post, I'll talk about the clothing, accessories, shoes, and whatever else I got so that this post isn't so long. You can really lose yourself at Primark and not pay such a hefty price for it.

Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks: Review + Swatches


Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post! Once again I'm reviewing my favorite type of lipstick, liquid lipsticks. These liquid lipsticks are by Ofra Cosmetics and I am so excited to talk about this brand. I hadn't really heard about Ofra Cosmetics except for some Youtube videos until I found out that Kathleenlights did a liquid lipstick collab with them.  I absolutely love Kathleen and I love to support my fave Youtubers whenever they come out with a beauty product so not only did I get her liquid lipstick, I also got four more that I thought I would like. 

Ofra Cosmetics was created by Ofra Gaito, a therapist and makeup artist, and had begun this brand by opening up spas. She expanded her line to what it is today with her husband David and have created a professional skin care and makeup line. According to Youtubers and Kathleen, these long lasting liquid lipsticks have a different formulation in comparison to other liquid lipsticks. 



The shades that I got are Pasadena, Mocha, Americano, Miami Fever, and Honolulu (from left to right, swatched against my skin).

Claims: Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick is a one step full lip color that does not feather. These vibrant colors will give you a vivacious new look. They are creamy and soft in texture, moisturizing the lips and creating a long lasting lipstick effect. No need to use lipliner, this liquid lipstick gives a beautiful edge to your lip look! Our formula is a matte color formula. All shades contain antioxidants and Vitamin E while the formula provides a lightweight layer of lasting color to make you look stunning all day. Color will last in a perfect condition up to five hours without eating or drinking. For best results do not eat or drink for 15 minutes after applying. Please note that this is not a lip stain and does not dry completely but remains on your lips for hours!

Now that you've read the claims, lets check out each liquid lipstick that I got!

Colourpop Kathleenlights Collab: Where The Light Is + Lumiere & Where The Night Is + Lumiere 2

 


Hello my lovelies! This blog post is all about the Kathleenlights x Colourpop Collaboration. I adore Kathleenlights and just had to get both of her collabs. For the first collaboration I got the Where The Light Is Super Shock eyeshadow squad and the Lumiere matte lippie stix. From the second collaboration, I picked up the Where The Night Is Super Shock eyeshadow quad and the Lumiere 2 Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick. She came out two more lippie stix from this second collection but I didn't get it (but honestly I'm thinking about buying them just because I've seen awesome swatches of them!).
