My Makeup Collection 2018: Bronzers/Contour

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

For this week's MMC I have all of my bronzers and contour products to show you.  I don't have too many contouring products because I don't think I'm very good at contouring.  I'm starting to really get into bronzer though, so I'm slowly adding more to my collection.

Bronzer/contour palettes
Too Faced Bonjour Soleil, Kat Von D Beauty Shade + Light, Coastal Scents Blush and Bronzer

Too Faced - for some reason I have quite a few from TF, so I made it it's own category, haha!
Soul Mates Blushing Bronzer in Carrie & Big and Rachel & Ross and Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Chocolate (2)

Drugstore
Wet N Wild Megaglo Contouring Palette in Dolce de Leche, Wet N Wild Coloricon Bronzer, and e.l.f. Baked Highlighter & Bronzer in Bronzed Glow

High End
Pur Cosmetics Mineral Glow Bronzer, Nars Laguna Bronzer, Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer, and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light

Liquid
Temptu Shimmer Bronzer

That's all of my bronzers/contours!  See any of your favorites?  If not, what do you recommend?

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a good week!

October 2016 Boxycharm Unboxing

Hello, everyone!

Today I have my Boxycharm unboxing to share with you!  Boxycharm is a monthly subcription service that has four to five full size beauty products and only costs $21.00 per month.  This month's theme is Boxy Bazaar and includes five full size products making the box worth a total value of $127.50!

 

Luxie Beauty Eye Blender Brush Pack - $36.00

Temptu Shimmer Bronzer - $29.50

 

Briogeo Blow Dry Perfection Heat Protectant - $24.00

 

Starlooks Ultra Matte Lip Paint in Piquant - $19.00

IBY Beauty Three's Company Trio Eye Shadow - $19.00

 

And that's everything!  The big winners for me are the Luxie brushes and the IBY eyeshadow trio.  I could always use more eyeshadow brushes.  The shadows in the trio are so smooth and pigmented!  They're perfect shades for the season as well.  The Briogeo hair product smells sooo nice.  I can't wait to try it!  The Starlooks lip paint is a beautiful shade and perfect for this time of year.  It didn't dry down completely matte, but I don't mind.  And now for the Temptu bronzer...this is my least favorite item in this month's box.  I don't use shimmery bronzers or liquid bronzers.  This one looks like it's too dark for my skin tone anyway.

Apparently, not everyone is getting this product this month.  I believe there are four different products and not everyone is getting the same thing.  One of the things I liked about Boxycharm was that everyone received the same products every month.  Also, I wish Boxycharm did questionnaires like Ipsy does so that we can let Boxycharm know what our skin tones and preferences are.

What do you think of this month's Boxycharm?

I hope you have a good week, and thanks for stopping by!

   

My Makeup Collection: Highlighters

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  David and I spent the weekend at the beach with his sister, brother in law, and their two kids.  It was a really nice weekend getaway, and now I'm even more excited for summer to get here!

For this week's MMC I'm going through my highlighters!  I love highlighting my face.  I've only been into highlighting for about a year, but I'm obsessed with it now!  Here's what I have so far.  (Just FYI - these are all very heavy swatches!)

Becca Cosmetics - Shimmering Skin Perfecter Pressed in Champagne Pop
*I looooove this one!*

Benefit Cosmetics - Watts Up

Doll 10 - Cream Highlight in Champagne
*This is a nice cream highlight for a natural looking glow.*

Clinique - Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight in 01 Hefty Highlight

Buxom Cosmetics - Divine Goddess Luminizer

Laura Mercier - Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight 01
*My favorite highlighter right now!*

Temptu - S/B Highlighter in Pink Pearl
*I haven't worn this one yet.  Honestly, it's sooo watery that I'm kind of afraid to!*

Stila Cosmetics - All Over Shimmer in Rose Gold Shimmer
*I don't wear this one.  It's very dark.  It also leaves a stain on my skin.  Even for this swatch picture, I had it on for a few seconds and it left behind a pink stain.*

And those are all of my current highlighters!  There are so many highlighting products on the market now it's almost overwhelming!   What are some of your favorites?

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week!
