Stila's sending my love gift set is beautiful and well made, I love the colors they used for the package too! The gift set includes everything you need for a beautiful makeup look, five eyeshadows in one palette, a blush, bronzer and highlighter in the other. A lipgloss and eyeliner, I personally love that the eyeshadows are separate from the face powders, this makes it more travel friendly. This also solves the dilemma, of wanting to only pick on or the other to bring with you ;)
Note: My camera is acting up and is washing out most of the colors, they are actually a lot more pigmented then this....
Tarte created a beautiful sequined collectors case palette for the holidays and it's really pretty to look at. The case contains all limited edition colors, a mascara, a duo brush and a travel case with six eye shadows, bronzer, blush and highlight.
The 30 colors on the main palette however I was disappointed with, the colors are very chalky and not pigmented enough for my liking. The double ended brush however feels really nice and actually did a great job at blending. The real winner for me is the travel palette, I used this one to create the look above and the colors are all very pigmented and long lasting.
Overall I suggest you check out the palette in the store before you purchase and see if the colors on the main palette look good on your skin as I think the colors might not show well on medium to dark skins. I am going to be giving the main case as a gift and will be keeping the travel case for myself!
If I said it before, I'll say it again..... Too Faced is KING when it comes to the best "budget" makeup gift giving. This one is such a great stocking stuffer or even as the main gift for a makeup lover in your life. The Too Faced Melted Kisses & Sweet Cheeks gift set comes with THREE gifts in one! Each box comes with a deluxe sized melted lipstick and blush, the colors are beautiful and all wearable. Priced at $36 dollars I mean do I need to say more?

I have said it many times and I stick to it, blush is the most important makeup a girl can have. A blush can transform any look, you can use it to contour, as an eyeshadow and even as lipstick. I wanted to share with you all my favorite drugstore blushes that really get a lot of uses from me. Which drugstore brand makes your favorite blushers?
Lo he dicho muchas veces y lo mantengo, rubor es el maquillaje más importante que puede tener uno. Un rubor puede transformar cualquier look, usted puede utilizarlo para perfilar, como una sombra de ojos e incluso como labial. Quería compartir con ustedes todos mis rubores farmacia preferida que realmente uso muy seguido. ¿Qué marca de farmacia hace sus coloretes favoritos?
I have been wanting to do a review for this AMAZING contouring palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills since I purchased it but like everything I want to make sure i am giving you my honest review. This palette is really perfection this hast to be one of the best products I have tried for contouring. The colors blend beautiful, the consistency, the pigmentation the under tones and the price are really all reasons why this is such a perfect palette. The palette is interchangeable as ABH plans to create more shades or you can repurchase them as you run out of them. I created a tutorial on youtube where I show two different ways this palette can be used for heavy contour or light everyday.

I love me some blush, I truly believe this one product can change your whole look. I do how ever very rarely splurge in this type of makeup. I went to purchase my all time favorite foundation for the winter from Chanel and came across this beautiful blusher. I just love it so much and have seriously used it everyday since I got it. It gives me just the right amount of coral and pink that my skin tone can handle and stays put all day.
Me encanta el rubor, creo de verdad este producto puede cambiar tu aspecto. Yo cómo era muy rara vez derrocho en este tipo de maquillaje. Me fui a comprar mi favorito de todos los tiempos para el invierno de Chanel y encontré este hermoso colorete. Simplemente me encanta, y lo he utilizado seriamente todos los días desde que lo compre. Me da justo la cantidad de coral y rosa que mi tono de piel puede manejar y permanece puesto todo el día todo el día.
If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw a picture I posted yesterday of the products I received from Brushlove, They contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to try out some of their brushes. Of course I said yes, and then proceeded to look around their website at all the amazing selection of hair brushes and all they have. The website is brush heaven and I definitely will be buying more hair brushes from them.... Ok now to the actual products I received.
I received six makeup brushes from the voa collection, they are made from animal-friendly products and ultra-soft, two-tone, premium synthetic fibers. The shape of these brushes are very unique with a square wide handle. I did my makeup with them on my car while my husband drove to our appointment. My first impression was that it surprisingly didn't feel too uncomfortable on my fingers and there shape made them great to do my makeup on the go since they lay flat and didn't roll of my lap like others usually do.
I used them all and so far so good, the bristles are super soft and feel nice on my face. It applied my makeup evenly but I did feel like I had to apply more product then usual due to how soft the bristles are. I also did the usual tests to check out the quality, like pulling the hairs and I have to say it had zero shedding. I used them all a little differently then they were intended to, but I always end up doing this with all my brushes anyway.
The concealer brush made an excellent eyeshadow applicator.
The flat eyeliner did a great job filling in my brows.
The smokey-eye smudger was excellent to contour my crease.
The blush brush was used to set my face with powder and apply brush.
The face contour brush was excellent, probably my fave out of the six.
The lipliner was used to apply eyeliner instead.
Overall these are really nice brushes, I see myself using them more for traveling then everyday use. I also reseived a Brushlab orange jumbo thermal hair brush that I have not tried yet. Website: www.brushlove.com Twitter: @brushlovebeauty Facebook

Si me síguen en Instagram, entonces probablemente vio la fotografía que he publicado ayer de los productos que he recibido de Brushlove, se pusieron en contacto conmigo hace unas semanas y me preguntaron si quería probar algunos de sus pinceles. Por supuesto le dije que sí, y luego procedi a mirar a su sitio web y ver todos los increíble selección de cepillos para el cabello y todo lo que tienen. Sin duda que voy a comprar más cepillos para el cabello de ellos.... Ok, ahora les cuento de los productos que he recibido.
He recibido seis pinceles para maquillaje de la colección VOA, son hecho de fibras sinteticas y ulta-suave. La forma de estos cepillos son únicos, con una plaza amplia. Yo me hice mi maquillaje con ellos en mi coche mientras mi marido manejaba a nuestra cita. Mi primera impresión es que sorprendentemente no se sentía muy incómodo en mis dedos y su forma les hicieron fácil de maquillarme sobre la marcha ya que se mantenían plana y no rodaban al suelo igual que otros suelen hacerlo.
He usado todos ellos y hasta ahora todo va bien, las cerdas son super suave y agradable sensación en mi cara. Mi maquillaje se aplica uniformemente, pero me hizo sentir como que tenido que aplicar más producto a continuación, debido a las cerdas ser tan suave. También he hecho las pruebas habituales para comprobar que la calidad es buena, como tirando de la pelos y he de decir que tenía cero despidos. He usado todos ellos un poco diferente a como estaban destinados, pero yo siempre termino haciendo esto con todos mis pinceles de todos modos.
La escobilla encubridora hizo una excelente sombra aplicador.
El delineador plana hizo un gran trabajo de llenar mis cejas.
El smokey eye smudger contorno fue excelente para darle dimensión a mis ojos.
El colorete pincel se utilizaba para establecer mi cara con polvo y aplicar colorete.
El contorno facial cepillo es excelente, probablemente mi favorito de los seis.
La lipliner se utiliza para aplicar delineador en su lugar.
En general, estos cepillos son muy bonitos, me veo a mí mismo usandolos más para viajar, que para uso diario. Yo también resivi un cepillo de pelo de Brushlab jumbo naranja que no he probado todavía.

Its no secret I love blushers, its the first makeup item I always go to in the makeup counters and if I had to pick just one item to use for the rest of my life it would be without a doubt a blush. I love the effect it gives, it contours, brightens and just makes you look so sexy and put together. I do own a lot of blushers and from all brands, but some of my favorite are definitely from MAC, and picking just five from all the ones I own was not an easy task but here they are!
No es ningún secreto, definitivamente mi producto de maquillaje favorito es el colorete. Me encanta y si tuviese que vivir el resto de mi vida con un solo producto de maquilla escogería un buen colorete! Me encanta la manera en la cual me ilumina mi cara, me hace ver mas despierta, y le da un contorno a my rostro. Honestamente tengo mas coloretes en mi colección que se me hace casi imposible solo elegir uno como mi favorito, pero de todas las marcas MAC hace uno de mis favoritos. Aquí les tengo mis 5 favoritos de MAC!

Left To Right: Nars Duo Palette/ e.l.f Contouring blush & bronzer
Left To Right: Nars Blush In Orgasm, Elf Blush, Nars Laguna Bronzer, And Elf Bronzer.
I am so happy to share this amazing dupe I found for one of my favorite blushers and bronzer and at such an amazing bargain! The similarities between these to products are insane, the only difference I can clearly see is that orgasm has a more golden peachy pin finish and the elf has more of an obvious coral with less gold to it. Also the bronzer from elf is a lot more pigmented then Nars laguna bronzer, Laguna also has more of a golden tone to it. Either one is beautiful it's just a matter of your budget when it come to these two, but there is definitely not much you will be sacrificing as they are so similar.
If I had to pick one makeup product to be able to use for the rest of my life, I would definitely pick a good blush! I am obsessed with blush I just love how it warms my skin and brings light to my face. Blushers are also very versatile they can be used as eyeshadows, to contour, and even to add some color to your lips. I personally own too many blushes for one face but I find I always have my favorite picks. Finding the right blush can be tricky as many of the colors look one way in the packaging and very different on your skin. Right now these are my favorites!!

I love me some blush, its amazing to see how just the right amount of blush can change your whole look! Originally introduced in the Revlon Gucci Westman Escapism Collection, the Photo Ready Cream Blushes are a new addition to the Photo Ready family of products and are not limited edition. So if you haven't spotted the Escapism display in your area, don't worry. These should eventually make their way to the permanent wall display.
Typically, cream blushes have been known to be thick, super-emollient and best suited for dry skin ladies- however this new formulation is quite different. While the cream blush itself is boldly pigmented and vibrant in the pot, it goes on quite sheer with a light-as-air texture. So it was perfect for my oily skin.
The Most toned down Pinched, its a peach with shimmer. I use this most as a base for powder blush since this hardly shows on my cheeks. But it is a very beautiful color that I think would look great on any skin tone.
Coral Reef looked the most intimidating color, since it's pretty much neon. But when applied, the color sheers down to a nice, coral color that is natural looking, but screams Summer! I really love this color.
Flushed, is a bright fuchsia and it looks beautiful and natural on the skin (while still being noticeable).
The cream itself is quite hard, almost like a solid lip balm… I’m actually a huge fan of this, because it makes applying it much more fool-proof (you don’t have to worry about over applying, as it usually requires some building to achieve noticeable color). To apply it, I’ve been using just a plain blush brush or my fingers. I find that it really applies just like a powder, and it blends just as easily. And because it’s so light it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all.
It stayed on my skin until I removed my makeup but, If you want to really extend the wear, try adding a powder blush on top of the cream.
Price: $12.99 I purchased mine at CVS on sale buy one get the second half off!
