Easy to use cosmetics

It’s my birthday soon and naturally, this is a great excuse to treat myself! Here’s all the products I got: TOWER 28 - ShineOn Milky Lip Jelly Gloss MAYBELLINE - Facestudio Glass-Skin Makeup Finishing Spray Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer Charlotte Tilbury - Hollywood Flawless Filter Avène - Cold Cream Nourishing Lip Balm (Can’t seem to find the e.l.f finishing powder 🤔) DERMA•E - Ultra Hydrating Serum COVERGIRL - The Super Sizer Mascara HERBIVORE - Prism 20% AHA + 5% BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial(this came as a sample with my Sephora order) I can’t wait to try all of these products and review them!

Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer Ok so I normally LOVE milk cosmetics. I opened this sample packet we got for a sephora birthday and IMMEDIATELY was taken aback by the smell. It was so chemically and toxic scented. I was hesitant to even put it on my face, but I did anyways, thinking it would be worth it if the reviews here were correct. As soon as I put it on my face, it started burning. You can see in the second picture how red it made my face. It also made me break out. I was ready to take it off but I decided to wait and see if it was good. I know it’s a grip primer, and I’ve worked with grip primers before, but it’s the stickiest thing I’ve ever put on my face. I only gave it a 2 star rating because makeup applied well afterwards. Would not recommend. 😔

kaleido cosmetics is cruelty-free, vegan, talc-free, phthalate-free, and paraben free. ingredients + colors are ethically sourced and the founder personally visits all suppliers to ensure no child labor is used during the mining of their mica. I haven’t spent too much time with these products, but I’m already really liking the gold glitter shade in the palette. when I first opened the black eyeliner it seemed to be dry, but after recapping it and leaving it alone for a while it seems a lot more pigmented. I think it’s important to look into sustainable brands in an effort to support them and increase their space in the beauty community. I hadn’t heard of this brand before, have you?

Kaleido Cosmetics reached out asking if I’d like to try some products from their range and they just came in! Kaleido Cosmetics is a young, cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, phthalate-free brand that aims to use organic and plant-based ingredients wherever possible. Their products are meant to give off a “wanderlust” type of vibe and be easy and fun to use. I’ll have proper reviews of these soon, just wanted to give you all my first impressions and share some swatches 😋 They kindly sent over their KALEIDO COSMETICS - Glow Balm - Lip & Cheek Jelly in shade watermelon and pomegranate. This is such a cool product! It feels like a jelly and can be used on both lips and cheeks. They also send their KALEIDO COSMETICS - Kaleido Cosmetics Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner which is just your basic felt tip eyeliner, it swatched super pigmented. The KALEIDO COSMETICS - Muse Skin - Ultra-Fine Pearl Illuminator is a super creamy powder highlight, but I think it’s probably a little too golden for my liking. I’m most excited about the KALEIDO COSMETICS - Golden Hour Eyeshadow Palette !! These colors are gorgeous. This is an entirely satin/shimmer palette. Every single shadow swatched beautifully, super smooth and pigmented. I can’t wait to try these on my eyes ✨ What’s a product you’ve been loving lately? Or something you’re excited to get soon? ☺️

OPI - Nail Envy Original $17.95 Provides maximum strengthening for: ● Harder ● Longer ● Stronger ● Natural nails to envy WHAT I LIKE: ● Dried quickly ● Helped make nail varnish last longer ● Easy to apply WHAT I DISLIKE: ● I would like a more obvious improvement in splitting nails ● May not suit those who prefer a more natural matte finish Let's just get straight to the point: This stuff WORKS!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT waste anymore money on any other products. Pictures speak for themselves. Nail Envy by OPI is literally the best nail strengthening polish out there. My nails became so strong and are actually growing. I recommend this product to everyone who has trouble growing your nails. I've wasted probably about 200 some odd dollars on nail strengthening polish. I wont specify brands, but I've literally tried everything out there. From drugstore brands, to super fancy one's. I've been disappointed so many times that I had practically given up. I accepted the fact that I have weak nails, and that I'll never be able to grow natural, nice, long nails. With that said, I settled for acrylics (which I hate with a passion). I had acrylics off and on for about 3 years, damaging my nail bed more and more. When I would remove the acrylics to let my nails breathe for a day or two, they were brittle, thin, easily breakable and not at all attractive. Fast forward a few years of putting up with acrylics, nails chipping, breaking, and painful throbbing, I became fed up with the entire thing and went on a hunt for the best nail strengthening product and this time, I was determined to find one. After many hours of research, I found consistently good reviews about OPI Nail Envy so I thought, what would it hurt to try one more thing? I've been using the product religiously for the past 9 months, and I am nothing less than impressed and shocked. My nails are growing longer than I am used to (even with the acrylics I would get) so I am a satisfied customer to say the least. They are strong and healthy, and while they're not completely break-proof (obviously), I've banged them several times here and there and they've held up for the most part. This product is a miracle. How to Use: Apply two coats to clean, dry nails with cuticles pushed back, followed by one coat every other day. After one week, use any OPI Polish Remover to remove all Nail Envy and nail lacquer, if present. Begin application again. Nail Envy works best to strengthen nails as a base coat in actual contact with the natural nail. It can also be used as a top coat over nail lacquer. Results vary by individual and are dependent on the initial condition of your nails. Disclaimer: you DO have to be patient. It's not going to happen overnight. It requires consistency, and a lot of patience. And having to deal with your nails being bare for a month or so. Sharing is caring.

My nails are the longest and healthiest they’ve ever been and a few things are making a huge difference! 💅🏾 no acrylics, dip powders or gel - this was driven by quarantine because I used to be in the salon like every two weeks but now its a blessing! 💅🏾 collagen supplements! Been taking copina co - Original Beauty Plant Based Collagen Boost Drink Powder and the Cacao Beauty flavor in my coffee everyday 💅🏾 HUM - Killer Nails Supplements are my current nail supplements, I also used NUTRAFOL - Hair Loss Thinning Supplement and THE Mane CHOICE - Manetabolism Plus Healthy Hair Vitamin Dietary Supplements earlier in quarantine. Both of which were for hair but have serious nail health benefits too 💅🏾 Onyx Brands - Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream read an article that this was highest rated and most purchased nail strengthener on amazon so I had to try it! Plus it smells like coconuts and is amazing. So great for keeping my cuticles moisturized which promotes nail growth and health Also whenever I have a small break, crack or tear in my nails - I use the teabag trick ( layer of nail glue, layer of teabag,layer of nail glue) to reinforce the crack and preserve my nail length.

This highlighter is easily one of my favorites. Even though it is a pink toned highlight (shade name is Pinky) it can match quite a few different shades of blush. I prefer to apply this by rubbing my fingers at the top and tapping it on the high points of my face. It doesn’t fade throughout the day either. Just a really lovely highlight. flesh - Touch Highlighting Balm

I absolutely love Flesh makeup because it wears beautifully, looks natural and is affordable! I checks all the boxes for me including cruelty free 🤗 the eye & cheek pots made makeup fun again for me & the highlighting balms are stunning! Easy to use & gorgeous! #flesh flesh - FLESHPOT Eye & Cheek Gloss flesh - Touch Highlighting Balm

I’ve tried a number of setting powders, but none of them live up to this one! The laura mercier - Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a lovely translucent powder that doesn’t settle into fine lines, that helps to absorb that excess oil, and that sets my makeup. This setting powder comes in translucent (for very fair to medium skin tones), honey (for medium skin tones with olive, warm, and golden undertones), and translucent medium deep (for medium deep to deep skin tones). I have the translucent shade and I don’t find it to be too light for my medium skin tone, rather it just kind of blends in with my skin tone. I like that it absorbs excess grease on my face, but also doesn’t smother my face or clog my pores. Highly recommend!
