KYLIE COSMETICS KYLIGHTER & BLUSH // REVIEW

-

I've tried quite a few Kylie Cosmetics lip products (which I love) - but this was my first time trying anything else from the brand.

Kylie Cosmetics Kylighters, Blushes, and Bronzers are sold  online at KylieCosmetics.com & online and in-stores at Ulta, where I purchased mine. They come in 6 shades each and would compliment a wide range of skin tones. 

The original Blushes and Kylighters were released a few years ago, but they were recently reformulated and repackaged. I really love the new packaging of both of these products. It doesn't feel like a junky plastic component that would break - it actually feels sturdy and like it would last a long time. There is also a mirror inside, which is so helpful and is something I utilize everyday when doing my makeup.  The pale pink color is so pretty and fits so well with the rest of the brand's aesthetic. 

The powders are also imprinted with the iconic Kylie Cosmetics drips, which is such a cute personalized aspect to the products!

Princess, Please // Kylighter // $20



Swatching this highlighter really won't do the product justice. The swatches can look a little bit chalky and like nothing special at first. In my experience, I have found this to be the case with most powder face products. This product really shines when you apply with a brush! It gives such a beautiful natural shine to the skin, and doesn't look powdery or cakey throughout the day. To make the shine more prominent, I recommend layering it on top of a cream highlight base.

The ultra-intense glittery metallic highlight can be fun sometimes, but isn't practical for day-to-day casual makeup - which is why I love this highlight so much. It gives the shine I want on my face, without looking like I have too much on. It does have a small amount of glitter in it, but it doesn't apply like a strip of glitter on the face like some highlights can. In the sunlight it just adds a little extra sparkle! 

I have "Princess, Please", which is a beautiful pale pink shade that compliments my very fair skin perfectly. My go-to highlighter brush is the Real Techniques Setting Brush.

Baddie on the Block // Blush // $18



Out of all the blushes I've tried, this formula is my all-time favorite! It has the perfect amount of pigmentation and lasts all day - even in the humidity and heat of the summer! I also love to layer this with the Flower Beauty Liquid Blush Bombs to make this product even more long-wearing!

I have the shade "Baddie on the Block", which is a mid-toned pink. Like I said before, I have very fair skin and this blush compliments my skin tone perfectly. It's not too bright and not too pink, so it leaves a very natural finish on my skin. 

It's a very buildable formula so you won't apply too much of the product all at once. I love blush, so I usually apply two layers for the perfect flushed look. 


Overall, I absolutely love both of these products and would highly recommend them to anyone interested. The only downside I have is the price - even though they're more affordable than most high-end brands, it is definitely a lot more expensive than drugstore prices. I would recommend buying during one of the many sales on the Kylie Cosmetics website or using coupons/reward points at Ulta like I did to make the price more reasonable. Otherwise, they're very high quality products that have become some of my all time favorites in my makeup collection!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The c

Billie Eilish live in New York City! // HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: The Tour Madison Square Garden Night 2

Seeing Billie Eilish perform live for the first time on the second night of her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour in New York City was such an unforgettable experience! I have been lucky enough to have seen so many of my favorite artists live over the years, but this was truly the greatest show I have ever been to. Billie is a once in a lifetime talent and it was so surreal to get to see her on this incredible tour.  Hearing Billie's music for the first time in 2017, right when her first EP  don't smile at me  was released, was one of the most formative musical experiences of my life. All of her music has come to mean so much to me during that time and has been such a massive source of inspiration for me throughout those past seven years. She is truly the voice of our generation, and it is such an honor to be able to witness her talents in person for the first time. She has the most gorgeous live vocals and is such a captivating performer. The entire setlist was so perfect, in addi

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a

Four by One Direction // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? One Direction 's fourth album, aptly titled Four , marked significant beginnings and ends for the band. In many ways it marked a new era for all five of them, as they were able to have significantly more creative freedom with the overall creation of these songs. In turn, that elevated the band's sound to something much closer to their own personal influences and life experiences.  It is the best album they made as a band, between the release of  Midnight Memories  in 2013 and  Four  in 2014, they showed such a huge leap in personal growth and were fully solidified as some of the greatest pop stars of all time. There was no one bigger than One Direction at that point in time, they fully dominated music for the five short years they were together and continue to make a lasting impact on the industry. There was nothing like it before and there will never be anything like it again. Four features quite a few of the best

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
