Bronzers, highlighters, and blushes! Tarte, ELF, Benefit, & More

Warning: This looks like more makeup than it actually is. This is my blushes, bronzers, and highlighters. At the end of the post I am showing what I gave away and why.
A mix of high-end and drugstore. 
Multi Use Products:

  • Physicains Formula "Vegas Strip" Shimmer Strip. A highlighter/bronzer/maybe blush.
  • Elf Contouring Duo in "St. Lucia"
  • Sephora Summer sheets, I got these on sale a while ago so they probably don't make this anymore

Bronzers:

  • Tarte Park Ave Princess Matte Bronzer (not as cool toned as it looks in the photo)
  • NYC Sunny Bronzer

Highlighters:

  • Elf Luminous (Discontinued I think)
  • Mini Stila Kitten Duo
  • Elf Baked Blush in "Pinktastic"
  • Mini Benefit Highbeam
  • Deluxe Benefit Sun Beam

Blushes: (The lighting couldn't handle all the pink oops)

  • Tarte blushes (top to bottom) in "exposed" "captivating" and "dollface"
  • In the back, elf blushes in "Twinkle Pink" and "Mellow Mauve"
  • Maybelline Bouncy blush (not sure which shade)
  • Elf  "Peachy Cheeky" Baked blush
  • Maybelline Master Glaze in "Pinched Pink"
  • Benefit "cha cha tint" and "posie tint" deluxe sizes

What I gave away:

  • The Elf contouring duo and twinkle pink blush. Too much glitter for me
  • Sephora shimmer sheets- I just never reached for these
  • NYC Sunny- A bit too orange for my pale skin, also may have made me break out
  • Maybelline Master Glaze (glitter and broke me out) 
  • maybelline bouncy blush (not much color, didn't reach for it)\
Also not pictured:
  • Benefit sun beam, great for tan skin not pale skin

Sephora Marvelous Mauve Cream Lip Stain: Review + Swatches

Image
Saved the best, in my opinion, for last. So far, I've reviewed Blackberry Sorbet and Pink Souffle. This is the 3rd, and final Sephora Cream Lip Stain I own. At $13, there are a few others I may eventually get, as well as continue to hope for more shades!  Same Packaging as the others Marvelous Mauve Do-foot applicator Arm Swatch A stunning mauve, just like the name Full face, it's really a beautiful color for everyone I'd call it neutral undertone, maybe a bit blue (makes teeth the same if not whiter) Lasts all day longStains, no touch ups neededSupposed dupe to Stila Patina, Every time I try to get my hands on that on it's always sold out (this was for the longest time as well)Applies very smoothly and evenlyLittle to no shimmers, unlike the other shadesDoesn't make lips look dryDoesn't dry lips outSame slight vanilla scentFlattering color, and tone Overall, If you can ever find this in stock, you need it! There is a reason why it is always sold out, and that&…

Milani Stay Put Brow Color: Review, Swatch, and Demo

Image
Milani has done it again! This is essentially a brow pomade. The range includes 5 shades, retailing at only $6.99.  This product is already up on the milani site, and I found mine a few weeks ago in-stores.  I bought mine in the second shade, 02 Natural Taupe "Light Taupe for Golden Blonde to Light Ash Brown Hair" Comes with it's own brush More on the"golden blonde" side
Here I used it in my brows The brushAngled side:Average angled brush, not too flimsy, great for filling in browsSpoolie side:A little harsh, not as good at spreading the brow product aroundGoes on as a creamSets into place, doesn't move throughout the dayIn some lights this shade looks a little too warm, in other lights a green tingeOverall a fairly good color matchAffordable alternative to say Dipbrow by Anastasia Beverly HillsA little product goes a long wayWon't run out for a long time Overall, This is a great brow product, at a great price! It's not the kind of product that has a…
