THE BEST TINTED LIP BALMS

-

Tinted lip balms have been my go-to lip products to use throughout the spring and summer because of the simple, light and moisturizing feeling. They also have just enough pigment to give a pop of color to the lips, without the commitment of wearing a normal lipstick. 

Seemingly every brand is releasing their own variation of a tinted lip balm and there are endless options if you're interested in a product like this. These are my three favorites that I use and alternate between all the time! 

Rare Beauty With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm



The Rare Beauty Lip Balm is so versatile in the way that it can be built up to have the opacity of a full-coverage lipstick or sheered out for just a tint of color. Either way you like to wear it, this balm has an intensely moisturizing feeling to it, that lingers long after the pigment has faded. The texture feels similar to pure coconut oil, which funny enough isn't even an ingredient. It is made primarily with shea butter and a botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily. It feels so light and gives such a beautiful dewy shine to the lips. I have the shade "Thankful" which is a nude mauve.

Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Stick



The Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Stick is the perfect two-in-one cream product! This is formulated to be used on the cheeks as a luminous blush, or as a hydrating tinted lip balm. The pigment can be built up for more opacity, but I usually prefer the sheer look with this product. Since it is such a light formula, it does wear off quite easily, but this it is so easy to touch-up throughout the day. I also love the way it layers with lip liner and gloss too! When I'm getting reading for my Zoom classes in the morning, I usually only have a few minutes to get ready, so this is always my go-to product when I need something quick and easy to put on. I apply a swipe of it on both of my cheeks and dab a bit of it on my lips and blend it all out with my fingers. It's so easy to blend that you don't even need a mirror! I have the shade "Werk" in the mini size.

Clinique Almost Lipstick



This Clinique product has a very sheer finish that doesn't add much pigment to the lips at all. According to Clinique's website, the transparent pigment merges with the natural tone of your lips to create a finish unique to you. I have the shade "Black Honey" which may look very dark and intense color in the tube, but it actually applies as a very light berry. It has a semi-glossy satin finish that feels so moisturizing on the lips and fades evenly throughout the day of wearing it. 

Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

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

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

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

everything i wanted by Billie Eilish // 5 Year Anniversary Song Review & Urban Outfitters exclusive 12" vinyl

-

"I had a dream, I got everything I wanted" Billie Eilish released "everything i wanted" in November 2019 as a standalone single at the tail end of her massive breakout year. Her debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? was released about eight months earlier to massive success and critical acclaim. This was the first song she released following that, at a time where everything in her life was changing very quickly. The song at its core is about the deep love she and her brother Finneas share, how he has always been there for her and she has always been there for him. This song is deeply honest, complex and reflective in every regard. Their relationship has always been at the heart of everything they make and their ability to be so open with each other is what makes them as a collaborative duo so special to witness. It ultimately serves as such a stunning tribute to him, a reminder that no matter where life takes them, they will always have each other.

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
