Hey girls! ❤ I wanted to share my new drugstore blush additions, they are the Revlon Powder Blushes in Melon-Drama, Classy Coral, Racey Rose. I was able to find these on sale at the drugstore, and I was a little hesitant to pick these up at full price. The colors looked amazing, and the packaging is nice and sleek which I like. I was happily surprised with these. They apply gorgeously on the skin, very natural looking, and I really love the shade range. I picked up all the pinky-peachy shades, and I’ve been really enjoying them when on the go. They are fairly cheap and come with a brush, which I don’t really use, but overall I’m really liking these little blushes! Totally recommend checking these out from the drugstore!

MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection Haul!
Oh, my GOD. This collection is seriously stunning. I heard that the MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection was releasing in stores today and I had to run and get my hands on some! I was lucky and found the entire collection in stock and swatched away. First off, I LOVE the packaging, love the foiled teal color with the water droplet texture on the casings. The color are super wearable and flattering, and I seriously want to get more! The stand outs for me were the lipsticks and the extra dimension eyeshadows. Unfortuanatley, most of the items are sold out on the MAC website, but check out Nordstrom and Macy’s to grab you some of these!! LOVE! ❤

How Not To Look Sick!
I have been sick the past few days and have definitely not been enjoying myself! Fortunately, I found some quick and effective ways not to look like I’m a slobbering mess. I found that a great dewy foundation and a good coverage concealer will do wonders. Applying a nice layer of moisturizer and eye cream will be even better. To bring some life back into my skin, a pink blush with a bit of a sheen and some bronzer really made me look alive. Lastly a trusty lip balm and a moisturizing tinted gloss were also saviors. What are some of your go to staples when you’re sick?

I’ve really been enjoying all these items, and the Lorac highlighter I was able to get at a great price since Sephora is no longer carrying the line. Did you guys partake in the sale? 🙂
NYX Bohemian Chic Nude Matte Collection Palette Review!
Hi everyone! I want to share a drugstore find, the NYX Bohemian Chic Nude Matte Collection Palette. The price varies depending on where you purchase it, but it is usually around the $10-$18 range. I managed to get it on sale! What really drew me in was the fact that it had all mattes and cheek colors, with pops of color on the bottom. I really like having neutral mattes around to mix in with my other shadows, and blend out my eye looks. The packaging is really cute and portable, and it has every shade you need. The quality of the shadows are ok, but again, mixed with other shadows, they work great.

Super impressed with my April Blush Mystery Box. Blush.com does a monthly beauty subscription for $24.95, only $5 more than Glossybox, and they always include multiple full size hair/skin/beauty/nail products! This month I received a full size Oscar Blandi Volumizing Dry Shampoo $25, a full size Johnathan Volume Shampoo $25, full size Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish in Runyon $12, a full size Belladonna Duo Lip Crayon $28.50, a deluxe sample of Darphin Paris Stimulskin Plus Multi-Correction Divine Cream $295/full, a full size Dermstore Lip Quench $12, a sample of the M Lab Anti-Aging Toner $60/full & Cleanser $60/full, and a sachet of Sjal Pearl Enzyme Exfoliating Mask $165/full.
Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush in 5 & 6
I’ve been very curious about the Japonesque Velvet Touch Blushes and I saw that Ulta was having a sale on these two shades a couple weeks ago. I received shades 5 & 6 which are bronzer shades, and I absolutely love them. 5 is a golden bronzer with a sheen, and 6 is a deeper matte shade. They are finely milled and I love the packaging, remind me of watercolor!
Becca Pressed Shimmer Powders: Princess, Nefertiti, & Angel
I seriously LOVE these powders. ❤ They are one of my all time favorite highlighters. The Becca Pressed Shimmer Powders $38 are velvety soft, finely milled highlighters that give the most amazing sheen to the cheeks. I have Princess (warm golden pink), Nefertiti (rose opal), and Angel (champagne). They are currently 50% off the website, so I think they are being discontinued, but I managed to find mine of Ebay for a great price. Becca as a brand I am a huge fan of, and I love all their products. The packaging is really stunning, metal embossed tops and brown rubberized casing. These powders really give off a natural glow without being too overpowering and feel very lightweight.
Polyvore: Spring Edit
Love this look! ❤
