Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter in Dazzle. This company was very to send me one to review, so thank you guys so much! This product comes in four different colors, and like I said earlier, I received Dazzle, which is a yellow gold toned highlighter. Their website states "Trick Stick is made with 70% organic ingredients and 30% natural mineral pigments". I have been dabbling in organic makeup lately, so I was very enthused when I came across this brand. They have a wide range of makeup, including foundation, powders, lipsticks, cream eyeshadows, and cream blushes and bronzers! That's a lot to choose from, so I can't wait to try more of their things. So let's start talking about the actual product.

So this product is a cream highlighter. It comes in a twist up stick applicator, with a small, found, flat surface. I really like that it is so small and compact because it would be great to travel with or just throw in your makeup bag. The color is a light yellow gold with gold shimmer. You can use this product on your cheekbones, brow bone, cupids bow, or inner corner of your eye. Really anywhere you want to put a highlight. You can apply this directly to your cheek bones or you could use a brush. If you would use a brush, I would recommend a stiff flat one. When I applied this to my cheekbones, it was very creamy, I blended it out with my ring finger, and it blended so well! The color is very pigmented when you first apply is, so I definitely recommend to blend it out. Throughout the day you could clearly see the highlight well. I will say that it was very cold the day I wore it, so I don't know how well it would hold up through sweating all day. There was some fading near the end of the day, but it still looked gorgeous.

I don't know if you can tell, but I really love this product! It's pigmented, it blends well, and it has very good staying power. What more could you want? I definitely will be ordering more colors and different products from this company soon. If you would like to try this out, head on over to http://www.vapourbeauty.com/ and order it for $20 here.

P.S. - I'm not exactly sure what happened during shipping, but my box arrived completely busted up, but thankfully the product was not messed up at all! Just explaining why the box looks the way it does.

Thanks for reading!

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick in Volver. This is a cream eye shadow in a twist up applicator. I really enjoy the packaging because it is a twist up instead of having to sharpen the product and then wasting product. And another thing I really like is on the top of the lid, it looks like a pencil and on the tip of it, it has the color of Eye Stick on top. It is kind of hard to describe, but I took pictures of it of course. The color itself is a light champagne. It is very creamy and blends very easily. But once it dries, it sticks. And one of the only downsides of this product is that it will crease it you don't apply a powder on top. For this particular shade, it would be very easy to find an eyeshadow to match it, but for some of the other shades, you could add a translucent powder on top so it would not change the color. Overall, I really like this product. They have neutral shades as well as some unique ones. If you would like to try this, you can for $28 here.

Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a tutorial, but the Electric palette from Urban Decay has inspired me again :) So let's stop the chit chat and get started! All the products I use will be listed as I go.

First start off with a clean eye and prime with an eyeshadow primer. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then you want to use a white cream base to make these bright shadows pop. I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.

Then I added Freak to the eyelid with a flat shader brush. Do not go above the crease with this color.

Next I added Thrash to the inner corner and blended it into Freak.

Next I added Gonzo to the outer third of my eye. This picture will be before I blended it.

And now taking a clean fluffy brush, I blended Gonzo in Freak and added color and blended over and over until I was happy with the saturation.

Then I took Urban on a small pencil brush and mapped out where I wanted the color and then I took another clean brush and blended it upward towards the browbone.

Taking that same blending brush, I picked up a little of Jilted and blended that into and a little above Urban.

Next on an angled brush I put fringe on the outer half of the lower lash line.

And then I took Freak and put it in the middle of the lower lash line blending it into Fringe and Freak.

After adding some final touches like gel liner on the upper lash line, mascara, and bright pink lipstick, you are done! Here are some pictures of the finished look.

MAC Studio Sculpt Shade and Line Eyeshadow in Olive Blend Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review MAC's new eyeshadows called Studio Sculpt Shade and Line. I'm reviewing the one in the shade Olive Blend. It consists of 3 eyeshadows, two are shimmer, one is matte. You can use them wet or dry. The one that is matte is to be used at the liner in your eye look. It is in the middle and it a deep olive green. The shadow is my least favorite because it is not very pigmented at all. It is chalky and not soft at all. The color above is a medium copper with a frosty finish. It has the most pigment and is very soft is very blendable. The color on the bottom is an olive but with more brown tones. It is not pigmented as much as the copper shade, but more pigmented than the liner shade. It's a bit powdery, but can be blended easily. I don't think I will buy another one, but you can for $21 here.

Tarte Cheek Stain in Blissful Review and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Tarte's Cheek Stain in Blissful. The color is very peachy on the warm side. My favorite thing about this product is that it's really sheer. Honestly you couldn't use too much. It looks so natural on the cheeks. There is very very fine golden shimmer which gives your cheeks this gorgeous glow. By the end of the day, the 'glow' isn't there, but the color is. I just dot it on my cheeks and smooth in with two fingers. I like that I don't have to use a brush. The only problem I have with this product is the packaging. You have to push from the bottom to get more product and if you push it too far, which is easy, you have to push the top back down with your fingers and it dents the product itself. Other than that, I LOVE this cheek stain and cannot wait to buy more. If you would like to purchase this, you can for $30 here.

The right side is heavily swatched. The left side is blended.

Smokey Eye Tutorial featuring Naked 2 Palette

Hey guys! I'm here with a heavy smokey eye tutorial using the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay. I love playing with all three palettes, mixing and matching the colors. I will list every color and product I use as I go, so keep an eye out for that. Let's get started.

First start with a primed eye. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then I blended Tease in the crease with a large fluffy brush. This doesn't have to be perfect, it's just a nice transition color.

Then with a flat shader brush, I added Verve all over the lid. Mainly focusing it on the inner and middle of the lid. And let me just say, this is my favorite color in this palette. It is so gorgeous.

The with a medium size brush I focused the color Pistol in the outer lid, not going in the crease though.

Then very carefully, I repeat very carefully, I added Blackout to the crease and outer V. I added this color bit by bit and softy blended it as I went. I also took the color on my lower lash line going a little thicker than usual.

Next I added Foxy to the brow bone and thick black gel liner on the top lash line. And white liner in the water line. Nothing fancy.

Finally I finished off this look with lashes from Eco Tools. I believe they are called Wispy & Flared. \

My Eyebrow Routine

Hey guys! Today I'm here with a tutorial on how I do my eyebrows. I'll mention the products throughout the tutorial so keep an eye out for those. Always remember that eyebrows are sisters, not twins. Let's get started!

P.S. I'm wearing eyeshadows from the Naked 3 palette, so if you want a tutorial on them, let me know in the comments!

First start with a clean brow (duh) and I fill in the first little part of my brow (you can see where I stop) with a lighter color than my brows really are and make sure the lines are nice and sharp. I used Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow in 15 and an angled liner brush.

Then I fill in the brow to the arch with a dark powder. I make sure the lines are straight and pretty, then I blend with the first part of my brow. I used Sexpresso from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette and the same angled brush.

Next is pretty simple. I just fill in the 'tail' part of my brow with the same dark brown shadow and brush.

Finally I set it with a brow gel. I used Elf Wet Gloss.
