Going Makeup Crazy !

Hi my name is Britanny and I am addicted to makeup.

 Recently, visited Ulta and well, let's just say that I bought a few things. Reason why I've been going makeup crazy is because of all the new Spring collections all the brands are releasing. During this time of the year, at least I think, all the new Spring collections is all everyone wants. Well, I purchased these items and they are all from the ULTA brand. I get kind of skepectical with all in store brand because it is a hit or miss sometimes. Ulta was having a promotion which was purchasing Ulta brand items (makeup, tools, brushes, and skincare) more than $19.50 you will receive a free little 15 piece makeup tote bag. Hence why I picked up a few things. They are all they're new products they just came out with and was excited to get ! Here are the things I picked up and will have swatches of my purchased items (not in the little tote).
I was really excited for these lip creams, but I'll mention what I have to say about them. I did wear them today. I wanted to try out the brow tint since it looked like the Benefit Gimme Brow that I really love to set my brows, so I want to compare how it holds up to the Benefit Gimme Brow.

Here's the little 15 piece tote with the goodies inside:
A varitey of shadows to play with, which I will get good use of and well, any shadows will work with creating a look, you just have to have the right eye brushes. 

And Oh MY highlight! I swatched the tester of this highlight in store, and I immediately fell in LOVE! It's just a pretty rose champagne color and would compliment any skin tone! It pulled off so pretty and tried it on today and wow it is just sooooo pretty !!

It is called PINK DIAMOND ! Here's a swatch:


Moving on to the lip creams. Here's what I think. First and foremost, this is really creamy and they take forever to settle on the lips! It took at least 10 minutes to completely set which sucks, but then again they are $9. The first shade is called Allusive. A nice settle vampy purple toned shade.


The Second shade: Stirring
 
 That's all I have to share today. Take Care!

NEW Maybelline Matte+ Poreless Foundation

Bought this foundation last week of December, so I want to say the day before New Years Eve. Bought it at CVS Pharmacy and the foundation retailed for $8.49 as well as the setting powder. I have oily skin and this has been my go to foundation for the month of January until now. There is a selection of 12 different shades, from fair to tan skin. I am in the shade 310 Sun Beige. I feel like it is a little to light for me, but after applying it settles into my skin and looks matte and flawless. I did a full review on this foundation and I recommend for oily skin people like myself. There are people 
who like matte foundations with dry skin, which hey! If it floats your boat then why not right? 

I do have to mention that this foundation does set really fast so you have to work in sections your face. For example, starting from the nose out the the right cheek or left cheek, really up to your preference. Nonetheless, I don't want to ramble too much on it since I did review this on my channel. But I have been reaching to this more than my Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation which also works well for oily skin folks. Down below is the link, check it out when you get a chance. Have a wonderful and positive day.

Matte Liquid Lipstick Comparison


This Trend going on for liquid lipsticks has been going on for a quite some time. I came across the first ones from Lime Crime Veletines. They were the first brand I noticed and at the time couldn't afford, but nonetheless that was when I first got into makeup. However, my collection has been growing and I have accumulated a few of the liquid lipsticks from different makeup brands. It is not a lot, but I think it is a fair amount to own. I am crazy and keep buying more. I mean a girl can never have enough lipsticks and makeup. 

I did a review on the ones that I own and compared the formulas so it's all on my channel so I won't go too much into depth here.





My favorite by far is the Stila Stay All Day ones. This formula is super comfortable on the lips, not too drying like the Limecrime formula. Hats off to Stila for putting thought and consideration of the formula.

Mannequin Hands

Hi! Welcome back to reading the day of my entire. Been a week since I've posted, but I wanted to share this awesome idea I had. I work at a retail store and today, back of house were setting up for inventory next week. Well, moving mannequins and fixing up the back of house, a mannequins hand fell off and broke. I had the brilliant idea of storing or holding my knuckle rings and my watch on it. I brought it home and it sure enough it fits all of my rings and my only gold, silver Betsey Johnson watch. At first, I thought it was creepy, but I needed a holder of my rings. So here is my light bulb of the day idea. Please don't mind my mess in the background. I still need to think of a nicer spot in my room to place this. This is super 80s, but I thought it was neat.
