Target $5 head of the class beauty box

This was my first ever beauty box from target. And lets just say I wasn't dissapointed!  They sell these every season for only $5 with free shipping.

They sell out within the day so its  best to order as soon as they come out.

I've been wanting to try out this mascara for a long time. But I never did because I saw too many mixed viewed on this.

So when I saw this box had it in there I had to have it.

The brush looks so good!

The next this is this beautiful lipgloss from covergirl. The color is "give me guava".

It's a beautiful peachy pink color with gold sparkles.

Something I was excited to see was this herbal essence dry oil spray. I love shine sprays because they give the shine without the heavy oil feeling. I have tried this out and oh man it smells so good!

Next is yes to cucumbers facial towelettes. I've never tried these so Im happy I got them.

Now these three next things are things I was least excited about but I'll still use them.

All of this for only $5!! I can't wait to get other ones when they roll around.

Ulta's Contour kit Is this a dupe for highend contour kits?

   When I saw this contour kit I instantly thought if this was going to be a dupe for highend contour kits.

   Well first of all if your just looking at the price then yes this kit is such a deal comparing most highend kits are average  $50. This kit retails for $18 at Ulta

   Now the packaging is beautiful if I say so myself. It has a see through cover with a face chart. Inside it has six great size pans of product.

Here are the swatches of the colors.

First top row Radiance highlighter,Lustre highlighter,Warmth bronzer,Golden bronzer, Bottom row bombshell bronzer,Goddess bronzer.

First color we have is the Radiance highlighter. It is a sheer shimmer baby pink. I wouldn't personally use this but if you have fair skin I could see this looking beautiful.

Lustre highlight looks like a banana powder but it is actually a super sheer yellow shimmer powder. I tried to put it under my eyes to brighten it up but it has to much shimmer to look natural.

Warmth bronzer is actually blends into my skintone so I don't tend to use it. Its a very light brown color. Looks and applys matte

Golden bronzer has some gold glitter in it so for that reason I don't use it to contour. It's a great color if that is what your looking for.

Now bombshell bronzer is my favorite out of all of the colors. Its a nuetral brown color that perfectly contours my face without going over the top.

Goddess bronzer is a very dark color and applies as dark as well. I use this just as a slight shading if I want more defining.

   I could see this working on such a wide range of skintones from fair to deep.

   I wear this kit everyday and the only con I see is the colors are not creamy as other kits. If your not careful some colors could get patchy.

   Other than that I would say try it out if you want to find a contour kit that doesn't break the makeup bank.

Colour Pop Where The Light Is review

I always love a great warm neutral eyeshadow set. So when Colour pop came out with this set I decided I wanted it. 

This set is twenty dollers on Colour pops website. It comes with four fun nuetral colors. And what I mean by fun is these colors are so pigmented and shimmery. 

I could definetly see this set being my go to for a summer eye!

First color is called cornelious. Its a matte warm chocolate brown. Which makes it the perfect crease and blending color.

Here is another matte color called Glow. Its a pigmented creamy white color. It works great under the browbone.

Now this is the stunner of the shades. Its a pearlized amber gold color. Its called Kathleenlights after the youtube beauty guru who worked with colour pop to make this set. 

I wear this shade on my lids and the results are so pretty. I've never used a gold color as pigmented as this.

Blaze is the last color of the set. Its a mettalic brown with lots of gold glitter. 

It does have a little bit of fallout but I think its because the glitter. 

I love this color on the lids and on the bottom lashline as well.

This is a really great set and I would totally buy it again. I can create a whole look with these shades. So definetly a must for anybody wanting a beautiful golden eye!

Too faced SUGAR POP sweet eye shadows

Too faced came out with beautiful french macaron inspired shadows and I couldn't be more excited! The packaging is filled with bright macaron pictures. And inside the colors are just so colorful. Which makes it a great palette to have for spring.

I purchased it for $36 at Ulta.

Here are the swatches taken without primer.

Rock Candy,Macaron,Malted milk ball

I love this trio. It's really wearable and neutral. I love the rock candy color. It's a pigmented white shade with shimmers.

Strawberry Ice,Sugared Violet,Blackberry

This row is a purple lovers dream. It's an easy go to purple eye. The last color is blackberry is a matte and so beautiful. I love colors that are taupe with hints of purple.

Peach Fuzz,Bubblegum,Blue Raspberry

Now when I first saw this palette these are the three colors that drew me into buying it. The Blue Raspberry color is super pigmented and goes on creamy. I didn't even have to layer the swatch. I just swiped my finger through it and was so impressed!

It also comes with a little booklet of guides to how to create different shadow looks.

I feel like for the price these shadows aremore than worth it. I can createso much looks from nuetral to bright colors.

The consisteny of the shadows are so creamy and pigmented. Another winner in my book from Too Faced.

Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chiseled To Perfection review and swatches

 

 

 

With all the makeup companys coming out it can be hard to choose which one will be right for you.

So if your looking for an easy contour kit to use this could be for you. Now I somewhat know how to contour but with this palette it makes it so easy.

The colors are so creamy. They feel like a cream but their just a super finely milled powder.

It comes with four amazing colors. Two are bronzers and the other two are highlighters.

When I swatched these colors I loved how pigmented they were!

The color in light cocoa was extremly pigmented so when you high light with it,you'll notice a difference for sure. It's not a shimmery color it's more of a satin.

LIGHT COCOA



 

 

MEDIUM COCOA

Medium cocoa is a mid tone light grey brown. I haven't used it much because it is a little to light for my skin. But I could see it working great for lighter skin tones.

 

DARK COCOA

 

Dark cocoa is a matte warm toned color.I've already gotten so much use out of this! Usually when you contour you want a grey cool toned color but for me I notice for me warm colors look best.

I can say it is the softest bronzer I've ever used. It glides on my skin without being splotchy

 

POP OF LIGHT

 

Now I know your looking at this color like why is there big gold glitters?!

But hold on don't freak out because when it's applied over your makeup it doesn't look that instense.

I happen to love the shimmer it gives to my cheeks.

I would say just put a tiny amount on the tops of the cheeks sparingly.

It even gives a little paper showing three looks to try out!

 

 

THINGS to know about the product:

1. Can be found at Sepohora or too faced.com for $40
2. Not blotchy at all
3.  Smells like their signature chocolate scent
4. Great for light and dark skin tones
5. I have worn this to the gym for the purposes of seeing how good it would perform on a hummid day and it held up! so great for the upcoming summer.

 

Laura Geller For The LOVE Of Baked review and swatches of the set online exclusive

        

 

 



Here is an online laura geller set for sale at Ulta.com. The retail of it is $39. Which is really great because the balance and brighten foundation is $33 alone for for six more dollers you get five more products!

 

                                  

 

This was my first time ever trying out the laura geller balance and brighten baked foundation. This is the full size that comes in the kit and I bought the medium color.

So occassionally I watch QVC and when Laura geller is presenting I always hear her say how it corrects all the imperfections like a full coverage foundation would. So I was excited to potentially use this as my only foundation coverage and ditch the liquid foundation. But when I tried to just use this alone I could still see all my discoloration and didn't really notice a difference. So it couldn't be just a foundation for me. I felt like it had the coverage of a setting powder where it would help even stuff out but not be able to do heavy lifting.

Although if you have minimal imperfections then you could wear this alone.

But for me I use this as a light veil after my liquid foundation.

 

 

                

 

 

Now you know how sometimes when a brush is included in a kit it usually airs on the cheap side. But this one is amazing! It's such a soft feeling brush that I just love using it.

It blends the product so well and makes the application of the balance and brighten so easy.

 

 

                                  

 

Now on to the spackle primer. I really enjoy using this product. I do have to say it is a tacky feeling but its the good kind that clings to the product and locks it down. Sometimes primers feel like silicone but this one has a light gel feel to it. 

Keeps the makeup on for a very long time and helps to conceal pores and creases.

                             

                             

 

This is the gelato blush in "Rose Water".

The blush has a swirled look to it and feels soft to the touch.

I like the color it gives and depending on the color of your skin you might have to build up the color. With one swipe it is visible on my skin but I like it to be a little more visible so I usually layer and built it up.

                              

Next item is the eyshadow duo in pink icing/devil's food cake.

I think this is a great eyeshadow duo because it has two wearble shades. One is a light white color that could be used for the highlighter or lid color. The devil's food cake brown color has flecks of red bronze swirls in it so it makes the color extra dimensional.

 

                              

                                 

Last thing to finish of your look is a lip color. And the color that came in the kit was "Purple Current". It is a moisturizing lip crayon love me dew stick. I can tell you it smells so good like a vanilla cake freshly baked.

The color is on the sheer side but you will get a great purple tint from it.
