Thanks LORAC for sending me this Beauty and the Beast Collection to try for free!

LORAC Disney Beauty and the Beast Collection:

Every once in awhile there is a makeup collection that is just too beautiful and special to pass up! As a lover of all-things-Disney, I am so excited to share with you today the gorgeous LORAC Disney Beauty and the Beast Collection! 

The Disney Beauty and the Beast Collection from LORAC is absolutely beautiful! It features a romantic collection of lipsticks and lipglosses plus an eyeshadow and cheek palette. The packaging is elegant and romantic with its gold design and rose embossments. 

Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favorite Princess movies. The lastest Disney Beauty and the Beast live action drama is fantastic! I can see how this movie inspired such a beautiful makeup collection. So, lets dive into all of the details about this gorgeous makeup! :) 

I was able to try out the following from the LORAC Disney Beauty and the Beast Collection: the Cheek Palette, the Lipstick Collection, the Lipgloss Collection, and the Eye Shadow Palette. To find out all the details on these gorgeous items, please click "read more" below!

It is time to update you guys with some of my most recent makeup faves!

For Spring time I have really lightened up my makeup and am going for a very natural "no makeup" makeup look. So, my focus is really on great skin with subtle eyes and lips. These items from LORAC are really helping me to achieve that look beautifully!

LORAC Sheer POREfection Foundation:

I am so impressed with this foundation! First of all, the shade PS1 Porcelain is a perfect match for my super fair skin tone (this is a feat! Often I can't find foundations light enough for me). It has a beige undertone which works so well on me. This foundation gives fantastic flawless medium coverage. I just love the super lightweight feel of this foundation. It really has the feel of wearing nothing at all. It looks so natural! The coverage really is impressive given the extremely light feel of the product. Plus, like the name suggests, this product does perfect your pores! It doesnt settle into my pores or make them look more apparent like many foundations do. I am super pleased! Plus, this foundation wears all day flawlessly! LORAC's Sheer POREfection Foundation is my new go-to foundation! Love it!!! Retails for $35

LORAC Color Source Buildable Blush:

As many of you know, I am a bit of a blush fanatic! I don't know what it is...but, blush is just my favorite makeup item. I think that it evolved out of me being super duper fair and realizing that blush has the ability to perk up my entire face with just a couple sweeps of powder! Plus, I have to admit that the process of smiling to find the right blush placement automatically makes me happy, lol. I know...I am a nut! Sorry, I digress...back to this blush...

I tried the shade Tinge which is a lovely and super light matte peach. It gives such a subtle and pretty hint of color to my cheeks. Plus, the blush formula is infused with anti-aging antioxidants such as Pomegranate, Acai and Vitamins A, C & E.

LORAC Light Source Illuminating Highlighter:

A beautiful highlighter is the perfect compliement to a pretty blush. The Light Source highlighter collection contains 4 shades: Starlight (light opal), Daylight (soft gold), Twilight (light bronze), and Moonlight (pink pearl). 

I got to try out the shade Starlight (light opal). It gives the most beautiful glow! The powder texture is so super silky and soft (yet not overly "powdery"). This shimmer is just lovely and not glittery at all. This highlighter really does give that "lit from within" glow. The formula is infused with anti-aging antioxidants and light diffusing, soft focus pigments for a silky-smooth, luminous glow. 

If you are looking for a few makeup updates, I highly recommend these items from LORAC! Are you already a LORAC fan? What are your favorite items from the line? I would love to explore the line further. So, I am always looking for recommendations!

As always, thanks so much for reading!
XOXO!!!

Makeup Wars: Holiday Beauty Wishlist!!!

Nothing to Disclose Affiliate Link

It is time for another Makeup War!!! This week's Makeup Wars post is pure fun and fantasy: it is my Makeup Holiday Wishlist! I have not tried any of these items. These are simply the makeup items that I am lusting after. The items that I am wishing Santa will put in my stocking. Some of these have been around while, some are new, and some are LE Holiday items. Reguardless, I want 'em! ;) 

What are Makeup Wars?

Before sharing my Holiday Wishlist, let me share a little bit about the idea behind Makeup Wars. The Makeup Wars Bloggers are a group of top beauty bloggers that publish coordinated bi-weekly posts. The Makeup Wars bloggers collectively pick topics to blog about (e.g., Top 10 Products, Beauty Pampering, etc). We publish our posts at precisely the same time and link up through the graphic links and thumbnails at the bottom of our posts. Be sure to click through the thumbnail links at the bottom of this post to read through everyone's posts! :)

My Holiday 2013 Beauty Wishlist:

• Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret: I am so intrigued by this unique hair tool! Somehow it magically sucks in your hair and spits out a perfect curl. It both frightens me and excites me at the same time. It is pricey at $99.00. However, if it works as well as it promises, then the price would be well worth it! 

• LORAC Pro Palette: I honestly can't believe that I don't own this palette yet! I love that it features a full range of neutral shades from light to dark in both matte and shimmer finishes. A great deal for $42.00. 

• Urban Decay Naked Basics: I can't believe that I don't own this yet either! A neutral lovers dream palette! I need this! :) Seriously, at $27.00, I should just head out and buy this one now. 

• Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush: This blush is soooo cute! I mean, it is a heart! :) I am a sucker for a pretty blush in great packaging. Retails for $29.00. 

• Hayworth Lingerie Chest by Pier 1: First of all, I am obsessed with Pier 1 furniture and home decor. We just moved into a new house 3 months ago and I am slowly filling it up with Pier 1 furniture and accessories! My husband just surprised me with the Hayworth Vanity a couple weeks ago! He knew it was on my wishlist for ages. What a guy!!! ;) Well, now I want the Hayworth Lingerie Chest for my makeup storage. I am actually planning on splurging on this for my "Christmas Gift for Myself" this year!!! I can't wait! I am going to sit this right next to my vanity to store all my makeup. My makeup is currently in my closet and I hate walking back and forth to my vanity table (and I don't want to sit my IKEA Alex next to a mirrored vanity...it just wouldn't look right). I am hoping to downsize my makeup collection, too. If it doesn't fit into this chest, then I am not keeping it. 

• Glam Glow Gift Set or Glam Glow Mask: I hear that this Glam Glow mask is totally amazeballs. At typically $69 for a tub, I think that the gift set that Sephora is offering is a great price (and you get to try more from the line). I am seriously dying to try this!

• BeneFit Rockateur Blush: I adore BeneFit's blushes. I have a bit of a collection and I am dying to add this! I hear that it looks beautiful on. Plus, BeneFit blushes always smell amazing.

Holiday Shopping Wishlist: Makeup Wars! with Benefit , Conair, Urban Decay

So, that is it! My Holiday 2013 Beauty Wishlist!!! I know that I am forgetting a million things. I mean, seriously, as soon as I publish this I will smack my head because I will think of more things. :) However, the list must end somewhere, right?

What do you all want for the beauty-wise for the Holidays? Have you tried any of my wishlist items? If so, I would love to hear how you like these things!!! :)

Happy Holidays!!!
XOXO!!!
