Nudes With Attitude Review -


♪ Look at these Nudes With Attitude. Look at these Nudes With Attitude. Hello! ♪


 Hey All! Today I want to review the Nudes With Attitude Lip Gloss Set by Bare Minerals.

Left to right: Super Power, Trailblazer, A-Lister, Future Star, Live Wire, Maverick

Super Power:
The box describes this as a Soft Peach Nude, but I find the color more pale almost gold. Not really that peachy. It is sheer and shimmery. A very beautiful color on.

Trailblazer:
The box describes this as a Nude Gold. I think it's more of a sheer beige and hardly shows with a pretty shimmer to it. Nice for the nude makeup look.

A-Lister:
The box describes this as a Shimmery Nude, but I think its more on the peachy pink side. Beautiful color with a soft gold shimmer. Great for everyday.

Future Star:
The box describes this as a Sheer Melon, I kinda agree but I think it's very pink (a bit too much for me). It is more pigmented than the previous colors. It is a pretty shade.

Live Wire:
The box describes this as a Blush Pink. It's a deep rich color (kinda rosy to me) with a little less shimmer than the others.

Maverick:
The box describes this as a Rosewood Shimmer, I don't know what rosewood looks like but this seems like a medium chocolate brown with a gold shimmer. Don't let the swatch fool you, this doesn't look as dark as pictured. This is a beautiful shade and looks great for fall!

Final Verdict - 
I love the colors, but this gloss is kinda sticky. It does have a nice cool plumping feeling happening and made my lips look fuller. They don't look overly wet when applied which is nice but I think the sticky will keep me from using these on their own.

If you don't mind a little sticky feeling gloss, I highly recommend this set and think it will look beautiful on any skin tone.

Hope you have a beautiful day! <3

Sugar Lip Balm & Gloss

Sugar, sugar....oh honey honey!

I have lots of love happening right now for this product!!





The three lip treatments I will be reviewing today are Petal Lip Balm, Rose Lip Balm and Honey Lip Gloss.

Lets start with Petal. It's a nice buttery consistency and feels so good. The color is a deep pink tint with a slight shimmer. I feel this looks more like a lipstick since it is a bolder less sheer color. I find myself having to look in the mirror when I put this on to cleanup the edges after I rub it in.







Next up is Rose. This is my favorite!! Just like Petal this has that great feel and consistency, but this is a sheer color with a slight tint (don't let the red color fool you). This is great for everyday and gives a subtle berry kissed look.





Last up is the Honey lip gloss. This on has a wonderful consistency for a lip gloss. I hate sticky lips and I didn't find this sticky at all. The color is a beautiful warm nude tint and has a great gold shimmer to it without making your lips look too wet.







Here they are on my hand.


Left to right: Rose, Petal, and Honey.
Final Verdict - They are all awesome. They have a whole bunch more colors, but since I tend to do natural looking makeup I didn't get the bolder ones. The Sugar lip treatments all stay on and hydrate for a long time, no re applying every 5 mins, also the lip balms have SPF 15. :)

The only thing that I do not like about these are the price. :(

At $22.50 for the balm and $18.50 for the gloss, its not cheap. I love a bargain and at first glance this was a no go for me, but it came highly recommended by a friend so I decided to try it and, honestly, for the price it is worth it. My lips feel so soft and hydrated. I will be buying this again.

I hope you have a beautiful day!

Trying Tutorials: Naked 3 Eye Looks


So being a beauty novice I decided to start trying other bloggers tutorials and weighing in on how I think they work for me.

(Just a warning I do suck so there is no fault on any of the people who created the tutorials, I really am just that unskilled.)
I really loved the way it looked on her, but the instructions are lacking for the level of skill I have. :(



 Now here I am....



It doesn't look bad but nowhere near as beautiful and clean as Shelby.


I decided to do this one cause I tried the smokey look and wanted a more natural look.


I love the look of this on her eye but mine was lacking.

 



Final Verdict - These are great tutorials if you know what you are doing, which I don't. I think I need to work on my technique. They both looked really nice on me but I couldn't get the clean vibrant looks that they did. 

Have a beautiful day!


XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Naked 3 Palette Review

Hey all! Today I'm reviewing the Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette.




Lets start with the first 6 shades:


Left to right: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, & Trick

Strange - Pale Neutral Pink
Dust - Sparkly Light Pink
Burnout - Shimmery Rose
Limit - Matte Rose
Buzz - Sparkly Tan Rose
Trick - Sparkly Bronze Rose


Next up the remaining 6:


Left to right: Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, & Blackheart
Nooner - Matte Deep Rose
Liar - Sparkly Deep Rose
Factory -Slight Shimmery Brown
Mugshot - Shimmery Light Brown
Darkside - Dark Shimmery Brown
Blackheart - Dark Brown with Rose Sparkles

This palette is really sparkly and can be off putting for someone who isn't into glittery eyes. Also it is a pink/rose color palette and some colors look really similar.

Final Verdict - I love this palette, but only because pinks and roses are great colors on me. I have a few friends who can't stand this one, so if you can't do roses or pinks I wouldn't buy this palette.

I use the following most days:
  • Strange as the base
  • Mugshot for crease
  • Burnout for lid
  • Dust for brow highlight
Have a beautiful day!

BareMinerals Insider Kit

Hey Guys! Today I wanted to test out the BareMinerals Insider Kit.


I have to say I had a lot of fun trying these out. There are a bunch of goodies in this kit.

Left to Right: Flawless Definition Mascara, Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss, Whipped Velvet Long Wear Eyecolor, Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner, Sugared Bronze Eyeshadow and Flawless Radiance All Over Face Color.

Lets start off with my eyes.

Flawless Definition Curl and Length Mascara:



I really like how smooth this went on and the great separation and definition of my lashes. It is a really light formula and feels like I am not wearing anything.

Round The Clock Waterproof Eyeliner:


This eyeliner was just okay. Nothing too special, didn't go on as smooth as I am used to but it looks nice.

Whipped Velvet Long Wear Eyecolor: 


I was pleasantly surprise by this eyecolor. I thought it would be too dark and not blend but, it was just the opposite and felt great to put on and looks really good on my crease.

Sugared Bronze Eyecolor:


This is a really pretty bronze shade with really good pigmentation. (Its a little messy when you open it. I ended up wearing more on my shirt than on my eyes)

So here are my eyes with all of the previous products applied.





Now lets take a look at the Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss - Rule Breaker:


I really like this lip gloss. It's a beautiful shade that feels really nice on and does a bit of plumping.

Last but not least.... (Well kinda not least)

Flawless Radiance all over face color:


This is my least favorite of the bunch. That's not saying it's bad. On the package it says that this as an all over face color but it's really more of a highlighter and if you use it as so it looks great. It goes on really nice and light but is not to be used without foundation if you want any coverage.


Final Verdict - I do like this set and would suggest it if you want to get a feel of the variety of BareMinerals. If I were to buy any of these separately it would be the mascara and lip gloss.


Have a beautiful day!
