I feel so bad that I've haven't done a blog post in a long time!
But to make it up to y'all I'm doing one today!
Today's featured product is Benefit's CORALista blush!
I know this is more of a summery product but I still wanted to do a blog post on it because you can use any blush color in any season!
CORALista is just like the name says, a warm coral-pink color. It has slight shimmer but not at a point where it is obnoxious and that's one of the reasons I love this blush. It's subtle but it gives the perfect glow instead of shimmer. The pigmentation is really good and the texture is (oh my lord) very soft!
This blush is very natural looking and it gives a really pretty flush of color and brightness to the face.
The packaging is of course, adorable! The leopard or cheetah print inside and there is a slight foral scent to the blush. I really like the 'boxed' packaging because it's very unique and that's one of the many reasons I love benefit!
This works for a lot of skin tones and it's hard to overdo the blush which is a good thing :)
So, I really love this blush as you can see and I definitely recommend it even though the price is a little hefty ($28) it's definitely worth it!
And, now onto the pictures and swatch!
Today I wanted to talk about the Tarte bronzer in Park Avenue Princess.
This bronzer is a mini size but I feel like this would last a decent time. To be honest I don't wear a lot of bronzer but I decided to give this a try because I heard a lot of good things about this product.
First of all, the color is perfect. It's not orange at all but it's not a muddy brown color. It's like a golden bronzy color and it's really pretty. It compliments a lot of skin tones so it's very universal. It also has a little bit of shimmer in it which makes your skin look very glowy. It's not shimmery to the point where it's obnoxious and you look like a disco ball!
The texture is really soft and velvety as well as being very pigmented.
I also really like the packaging with the cool looking cover and the top being rather... squishy!
This is a staple summer product for me because I can just apply this with a fluffy brush all over my cheeks and I'm done with my face makeup. It looks really pretty without a blush over it and it makes my skin a golden bronze glow.
I never thought that I would love this product as much as I do but it has quickly become my staple product in my makeup collection.
So this is my second 'current favorites' post :)
Hopefully this is pretty interesting to read because I personally love these kinds of blogs :)
Sooo, here are the products :)
1. Liquid eyeliner
I realize that I mentioned that I looove gel liner in my last post, but recently I've been wearing liquid liner more. (I still love gel liner :)) Liquid liner is so much easier to use and much quicker to apply especially when you are in a rush in the morning.
What I do is I line my upper lash line with the liquid liner and then set it with a black eyeshadow to prevent it from smudging throughout the day.
2. MAC Rubenesque paint pot
This is a product that I recently purchased and I love it! A paint pot is basically a cream eyeshadow that you can use as an eyeshadow base or a primer. I have 1 other paint pot called Bare Study but I am loving Rubenesque at the moment. It is a beautiful golden peach color that I think is going to be beaauutiful for summer. (as you can see I am already in the summer spirit) With paint pots, you don't have to set it with an eyeshadow because it will last all day without it. It's easy and really pretty. Everything you can want in a product!
3. Diorshow iconic mascara
This is a verrry high end product that I usually don't purchase but I got a sample size of it and I loove it! No wonder high end products are amazing! It has plastic bristles so it allows your eyelashes to be coated but separate them at the same time. Plastic bristles are probably my favorite just because it won't clump up your eyelashes as much. It gives volume and length which is basically everything you can ever want in a mascara!
4. Blue eyeliner
So apparently for this spring, the makeup trend is to have a pop of color. Whether that would be with eyeshadow or eyeliners. I decided to opt for the eyeliner. I bought a cheap blue eyeliner and I love it! (as i've been saying it about every single product) I was a little skeptical because I thought it wouldn't be flattering on me. But it is! You can either apply it on the upper lash line or the lower lash line and they both give a really pretty effect! I really like it on both but I've been wearing it on the lower lash line a lot. This is probably my go-to spring/summer look :) Pretty, bright, and fun! :)
I hope this gave you some inspiration on some spring/summer look :)
