Product spotlight: ColourPop Cosmetics

 So as many of you can tell from reading my blog I love to try out new products, especially if they are affordable and today's post is no different!!

I had heard and seen some stuff about colourpop for a few months and it was a line that I hadn't tried before, so a few weeks ago I decided to buy some stuff.

The products range from 5-20 dollars and if you sign up for their newsletter you will automatically get 5 dollars off your first purchase!!

I bought 3 of their lipsticks, an eyeliner and eyeshadow...
Lips

 Satin lipstick in the color Brooklyn ($6)

 

This is a hot pink tone with a satin finish

 Ultra matte in 1st Base ($6) 

 A muted pinky/muave tone

They also came out with a new formula for their lippie sticks called Matte X ($5)

 Chateau which a deep red/wine color

Eyes

Creme gel eyeliner retractable pencil in Get Paid ($5)

Super shock eyeshadow in envy ($5) 

Violet purple with cooper and purple sparkles

. 

I rate each:

The picture on the left is when I just put on the look (líp satin, eyeliner, eyeshadow) right- 5 hours after heat, food and drink

As you can tell the eyeliner and eyeshadow did stay on pretty well. There is still a faint stain on the lips so it needs reapplying (which is a little annoying because I love the color) 

Overall I was impressed with how pigmented these products were, especially for the price of the products!

I will definitely buy more of their eyeliner, eyeshadow and ultra matte lipsticks in the future!

Product Spotlight: Tarte's Greatest Glitz Collection Set

Happy 2016! I hope you all had a wonderful time during the holidays and ate a lot of great food!

Now that it's a brand new year, it only means that there are new things in the world of beauty! 

For the first review of the year I bought this gift set from Tarte on the ulta website (Now unavailable) They were having a deal the day after Christmas and I thought I'd buy myself a little belated Christmas gift!

As you can see it's very glitzy and sparkly (hence the name).The top is made out of sequins and it looks like it would make a great clutch bag for a night out if it was a bit smaller.

Once you lift the top it reveals the three different palettes along with a mirror, which I thought was a nice plus. There is also a drawer that had a lip butter and  Tarte's bestselling mascara as well.

There are 8 shades and a blush in each a palette! 
The colors range from gold, dark and silver tones with mate and shimmer finishes

Here are some swatches from each one:

*Note: I realized the lighter shadows didn't show up as I expected on camera, sorry 

Gold Palette

1.Toasted Marshmallow *

2.Vixen

3.Dipped In Chocolate

Blush: Warmhearted

Rose Gold

1.Joy To The Pearl *

2.Glitzy Blitzen

3.Evening Affair 

Blush: Impress

 Silver

1.Jingle All The Grey

2.Bedazzled Spruce

3.Black The beauty

Blush: Bubbly

I have to say overall I was happy with how pigmented the eyeshadows were, especially the darker shades. The shimmering ones had the right amount of glitter, perfect for a night out! 
'
Out of the eye shadows, I couldn't choose because they were all so pretty and I had literal heart eyes looking at them!

Out all the blushes, bubbly was my favorite because I could use it as a blush or a bronze highlighter.

 I hope you enjoyed this review and I will see you soon!
