October Beauty Review

I've been watching makeup reviews and tutorials like CRAZY around here! I really am loving learning about beauty products and different ways to apply makeup and things to try. I feel like I've seriously been doing it ALL wrong my whole life! Haha! I've always loved makeup, I was always just scared to buy them and not like them wether it was a drug store product or high end product I just didn't want to chance it! I found out some stores actually are great about letting you return the product if you still have the packaging and receipt with you which is bomb!  I just feel like I've been blind to all the awesome products that are out there and different techniques there are! I'm just beginning this whole makeup-loving-passionate-try-knew-things stuff and I'm really loving it!

Okay I'll start off with my FAVE product of the month! BECCA Blushed with Light Palette  is AMAZING YOU GUYS. This is my first ever blush palette I've ever purchased so I was super stoked and felt kind of sophisticated and like the real deal. Ha! This is a Limited Edition palette and I 10/10 recommend it! It came with  2 best selling colors Luminous Blush in Snapdragon (coral) and Mineral Blush in Songbird (peachy pink) and a new shade Wisteria (delicate rose w/neutral warm overtones). It was a $77 value for $34 so I couldn't pass it up! Not to mention the "details" section on Ulta.com will convince you to get it so fast. I have yet to try Snapdragon, but the other 2 colors are a dream! They blend super well, they are easy to apply, and they are buildable! Go get it while you can!!

The first time I tried a face primer (a NYX one)  I ended up HATING it! The one I tried felt like sunscreen and I stopped using it after like 4 times cause I couldn't handle it.  Instead I used moisturizer or a face serum before applying makeup to help my foundation go on more smooth. I have really dry skin on my nose and chin and so those 2 things helped, but my makeup wasn't super smooth and lasting as long as I wanted. I really wanted to find a primer that worked for me.  Lorac I'm So Sensitive Soothing Face Primer  was recommended to me from Ulta and it is a GAME changer! It is more like a super soft, thin, lotion than what the typical primer is! It is really moisturizing and my makeup has gone on so much better and smoother! Super happy with this purchase, definitely worth the money plus you get more of it for a cheaper price than most of the other high end primers out there! The only complaint I have is I don't love the smell of it.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner- I have heard nothing but positive things about this eye liner! I was planning on going to buy it because of all the great reviews I've read and heard from everyone but I ended up getting it in my Ipsy Bag! WIN! I've been practicing a lot with this one lately and really like it! Comparing it to my EYEKO one I posted about last month, I feel like they are pretty similar but this one is less pigmented and I sometimes have to go over it a few times to get the jet black, but it's not really a huge complaint and I would definitely recommend this to anyone! Even if you are a beginner, because I definitely was and you have to start somewhere! BUT a friend told me that Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in1 is a dupe! So i'll probably purchase that one next and compare them!

NUDESTIX Concealer Pencil - This was my first time trying cream concealer and I am a fan! It's a super soft formula and very pigmented! Very easy to blend and is infused with moisturizing ingredients which I am a mega fan of. But, truthfully I've been reaching for my Maybelline FaceStudio Master Concealer more frequently than I have this one!

Noyah Lipstick in Smoke-  I had never heard of this brand before but I'm definitely a fan! This company uses natural formulas to hydrate and moisturize your lips. This color is not one I would have ever picked out for myself but I ended up LOVING it! Such a fun grey-lavender color that looks good with everything! It has a semi-matte finish and lasts for a few hours which is always a plus! It doesn't moisturize like a gloss would but it wasn't as drying as other matte lipsticks I've tried.  It comes off on my water bottle when I'm drinking but not enough to where I'm worried I would have to reapply it, worry about tit getting on my teeth, or smear on my lips. Definitely have my eye on their color  "Currant".
