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

The Body Shop: British Rose Collection and Lip & Cheek Stains | Reviews + Swatches

Image
Hey everyone, today I have a set of reviews from the new British Rose collection and lip & cheek stains that were sent to me for consideration. Despite being sent these products, all opinions are as honest as always. The products here range from $16-30. They are available online, as well as in-store.
I was sent the British Rose Palette ($30), Instant Glow Body Essence ($25), and the new Lip & Cheek Stains ($16 each). British Rose Palette There are six matte eye shadows and two blushes, for day to night. Soft satin pinks, and a blush with specks of glitter (that do not transfer). All cool tones. Baby pink matte blush, and only the silver is shimmer. Dark Cherry (018), Pink Guava (022), & Bright Peony (026) Lip & Cheek Stains Gluten-free, moisturizing, and claims lasting 12 hours.

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&…

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Image
Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlightI love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like thisScreenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticksNot as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long timeCan be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonable to you (I just hope Mac doesn't rais…
