Review: Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fiber Collection

Hello everyone! For this blog post I have a really quick review of the Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fiber Collection. If you don't know, the Real Technique brushes were created by Samantha Chapman of pixiwoo. I don't really know if her other sister, Nic did design any other brushes but there are many different kinds. I'm pretty sure I have almost al of them and they are by far my most used and most loved brushes. These particular brushes come in three and are in the white packaging. They are duo fiber and are limited edition.

I actually still see these at Ulta or at least at my particular Ulta. I heard Walmart has started selling Real Techniques brushes so they might be there as well.

This particular brush set comes with three brushes, a face brush, a contour brush, and an eye brush. I've been using these brushes constantly since I purchased them and to start off I really like them. Like I said I have a lot of the Real Techniques brushes and I have to say I don't dislike any one of them. For the review I'll be talking about each individual brush and my opinion on it. Yay! Let's get on with the review.

Claims: Real Techniques Limited Edition duo fiber collection allows you to create soft layers and add texture. These duo fiber brushes are perfect for building color from light to dense. (www.ulta.com)

Flashback Foundations Friday: Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Makeup Foundation

Hello fellow beauties and welcome to a Flashback Foundations Friday. As one can see, I have a slight addiction to foundations. I'm always on the hunt for new ones and always wanting to try them all out. Which, takes a toll on my foundation drawer and on my wallet. So this segment of the blog is all about foundations that are already at the store and are in my collection. Since a lot of the foundations at the store aren't necessarily new but are still available, I figured why not review those as well instead of just new ones! Since I've been using these foundations for some time my review of it will be more precise instead of first impressions type. 

Anyways, I heard of this foundation, the Maybelline Super Stay Makeup Foundation, through youtuber cutesygirl09, who made a video featuring it. Her skin looked absolutely gorgeous and flawless that I wanted to get the foundation right away. It comes in 8 shades and I got this foundation over the summer so the color is darker than what I am in the winter. I've tried it a couple of times in the summer and in the winter (I actually made the color work!) to get a good consensus on what I think of this product. 

Claims: Stays comfortable and looks naturally flawless all day. Micro-Flex formula provides 24-hour wear and no transfer. Withstands heat, sweat and humidity. Oil-free, dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free. Suitable for all skin types. (Information from Maybelline website).

These are amazing claims made by Maybelline. So, let's get on with the review!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette: Swatches & Review

I FINALLY GOT THE URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 PALETTE!!! This has been a long time coming. I've been lusting over this palette ever since it was launched and I finally have it! My goodness, was this hard to track down. I saw it at Macy's in my hometown but at that time I didn't have enough money for it. When I finally got the money, it was all gone. I waited another month or so before I found it again at Ulta, all beautifully restocked. I grabbed one and couldn't wait to get home and try it out. 

Can I tell you that I opened the palette with the utmost care? Like, I didn't want to rip it or anything and I'm not that kind of person. I'm the kid at Christmas that rip open presents and throw it up in the air acting like I don't have to clean any of that up later. I just could not deal with all the excitement. 

I've had this palette for a couple of weeks now and I can say that I have a pretty good opinion about it. So let's get on with the swatches and review!

A Mini NYX Cosmetics Haul

Recently, I've been on this big makeup buying binge, and it needs to stop soon. I mean I'm having fun but my bank account is crying!

Anyways, NYX Cosmetics came out with their new 2014 line and everything looks absolutely amazing but the only things I were truly interested in were their new Butter Lipsticks. So, not only did I buy the lipsticks but I also got the Butter Lipglosses, which are not new, because I've never tried them before. I got a total of three butter lipsticks and two butter lip glosses.

From left to right I have:

Pops- a natural mauve pink

Hunk- a gorgeous bright blue violet color

Licorice- a rich and deep burgundy

From left to right I have:

Devil's Food Cake- a very glossy deep plum

Tiramisu- in my opinion, the perfect nude brown

My first impressions of these have been amazing. I think they are both super smooth and pigmented. I have been loving these ever since I got them, the lip glosses in particular, and I would recommend this for everything. It's both pretty cheap with the lipsticks costing $6 and the lip glosses $5. I got these off of the NYX website and I had no issues with shipping. It came pretty fast! (that's what she said ;) )

I wasn't going to do a full on review and swatches post of these just because I didn't feel it to be necessary. But, if you want it please leave a comment down below and I'll definitely make it happen. 

I hope you enjoyed my mini NYX haul and I'll see you in the next blogpost. 

Thanks for all the support and love!

Review: Covergirl Bombshell Shineshadow

Hey guys and welcome back to another review (what else is new?). We love doing these and hunting down new products to share with you all and these are actually not that new at the drugstore but its taken me a while to write a review for it (because I'm lazy :D ). So here are the Covergirl Bombshell Shineshadows. 

I'm not a huge fan of Covergirl I've only really tried their foundations. I have some eyeshadow quads and trios but they aren't that great compared to the other drugstore brands. I've never even tried a mascara from them and apparently they are really awesome! Mental reminder: need to try Covergirl mascara's out. Anyone have any suggestions? I like volumizing mascara's the best. Leave a comment down below!

Now back to the product, these came out I think around early January with the whole "bombshell" collection and I just happened upon these at a display at Target. I had no intention of buying these but they looked actually very interesting and I figured it was time to try out more Covergirl products. 

The colors I have are 325 Copper Fling (on the left) and 310 Platinum Club (on the right). These were the two colors I was most interested in. There are a total of six shine shadows, a white, a gold, a green, and a lilac. I have the other two. 

Here's what Covergirl claims: Transform your eyes into bombshell sexy. Each shiny or shimmery Bombshell Shineshadow by LashBlast contains reflective pigments so your eyes dazzle when light hits your face. It is a long lasting cream shadow, blendable formula, and has easy breezy application.

Lots of wonderful claims Covergirl! So let's get with the review.
