Get Inspired for Spring with Glowing Makeup and Skincare from Pixi Beauty:

Who else is tired Winter? lol! I know that I sure am. Well, Pixi beauty has such a beautiful lineup of products to get you inspired for glowing skin and makeup for the upcoming warmer months ahead. Let's dive right in to talking about some of my recent favorites from Pixi! :)

Pixiglow Cake 3-in-1 Luminous Transition Powder:

You guys might remember that I have a bit of a thing for blush. Well, I just about swooned when I first saw these *huge* Pixiglow Cakes! These light diffusing cheek powders can give you gorgeous contouring, color, and highlight depending on where you place your brush on your pan and on your face. You can use via solo swipes or swirl all together to customize your own beautiful look. The powder is soft and blendable which makes it super easy to apply. It reflects light subtly. So, you don't have to worry about being too shiny or sparkly with these. Plus, they are packed with good-for-your-skin ingredients like plumping peptides and grape seed extract. There are two shades. One is more of a peach and one is more of a pink. :) 

Liquid Fairy Lights:

These are long-wearing liquid glittery eyeshadows. They are gorgeous!!! These are super easy to apply. You literally just swipe these on your lids and you are all set. I got to try out a couple shades: Crystalline (a shimmery white) and BareBrilliance (a light taupey brown). I adore these and really want to try out more shades. There are 7 shades total. Plus, they are infused with chamomile and rose extracts to soothe and hydrate your skin. 

Pixi Skintreats Rose Ceramide Cream Intensive Moisturizer: 

Oooooh! I just love Ceramide in my skincare products. As I *cough* age, I am becoming more and more concious and selective of my skincare and the ingredients in said skincare. I have learned that Ceramides are one of the best ingredients that you can have to hydrate and renew the skin. Moisturizers with Ceramides in them just seem to work better! This ultra-rich cream from Pixi Skintreats is infused with both Ceramides and Rose Oil to give your skin a great look and feel. Plus, it is antioxidant rich to help protect your skin as well. This feels so nourishing on my Winter-dry skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and balanced.

What are your favorites from Pixi? There are so many amazing products. I am always looking for great recommendations.

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

The Jennifer Lopez Collection from INGLOT
I am so excited that I get to share this awesome collection of palettes and makeup from Jennifer Lopez and INGLOT. I have always been intrigued by INGLOT's Freedom System palettes and have heard such great reviews. I have literally always wanted to try one!

This collection from Jennifer Lopez is gorgeous. I am a huge fan of hers. Lets face it, she is flawless and her makeup is always on point.


Jennifer Lopez Inglot Freedom System Palettes:
The Freedom System palettes are available in a range of shapes and sizes. These reusable palettes allow you to customize your makeup in one palette. This is genius. I mean, how many times do you buy a palette only to *no use* half of the makeup that is in it? (raising hand over here!!!). With the INGLOT Freedom System Palettes, you can mix and match from a variety of INGLOT products (eyeshadows, powders, blushes and highlighters) to create the perfect custom palette!

About the Palettes:
A magnet layer on the bottom of the palette holds the product in place and allows you to conveniently replenish or switch out product when needed. You can build the palettes online or in store, choosing from a variety of products in the Jennifer Lopez collection, including eyeshadows, powders, blushes and highlighters.

For the palette that I created, I got the large freedom palette with taupe, honey, pearl, and charcoal shadows and ballerina blush and cocoa sculpting powder and the taupe eye liner. The blush, bronzer, and shadows are super pigmented and long lasting! The pop of pink from the blush is just beautiful! I love the neutral shadows. They are so wearable and have just the right amount of shimmer.

Makeup and palettes are sold separately
$9.50-$19 at Jenniferlopezinglot.co

If you are looking for a gorgeous new custom makeup palette, look no further than this gorgeous collection from Jennifer Lopez and INGLOT! You honestly can't go wrong since you can custom pick what goes in the palette. You are pretty much guarenteed to have a palette that you will use and love when you can create it yourself! I know that I love mine and I am using it all the time!

Get a Pop of Shimmer and Shine with Amazing New Releases from POPBeauty:

Are you ready for some intense pigment, major metallic shine, or a bold pop of glitter? Well, that is what you are going to get with these amazing new products from POPBeauty!

There are a ton of products, so lets just dive right in and talk about each one.

POPBeauty Prismatic Pop Illuminating Powder:

Lets start with these super shimmery blushes as I do tend to have a thing for blush. These light-reflecting illuminators have an unbelieveable metallic shimmer. The powder is so soft and buttery that it almost doesn't even feel like a powder. It has a high mica and pearl content which makes it ultra luminecent.

POP has highlighter shades and blush/bronzer shades in the Prismatic Pop Illuminating Powder collection. I tried the blush/bronzer shades and they are so pretty. I tried Coral Crush, Royal Rose, and Bronze Boom!. They have fantastic color payoff and intense light reflection with such a glow!

Retails for $12.00 each

POPBeauty Flashadow Liquid Eye Shadow:
Wow! These are intense!!! This is total liquid metal shimmer with glitter. If you want a wow-effect, you will get it with these. Plus, these are so much easier than trying to get traditional glitter to stick to your eye lids! These have no budge and have extended wear. You can either wear them solo or layer over regular shadow for a pop of intense sparkle and shine. They go on wet and then dry to set to a smudge-proof shadow.

These are incredibly fun to play with! I love these for a glam night out.

Available shades: Cosmic Confetti (my fave!!!), Naked Glitz, Crushed Copper, and Black Drizzle

Retails for $12.00 each

POPBeauty Topper Popper Metallic Lip Stain:
POPBeauty really wants you to shine this season. Here is another mega-shiny mega-shimmer product...this time, for your lips! Topper Poppers can be used either as metallic top coats to your regular lip color or as a stand-alone sheer lip look.

Once the product dries to set, you get a smudge-proof lip that is incredibly long wearing! The amazing sparkle and shimmer really lasts. These are super fun to wear!

Here are my favorite shades (there are 6 available): Cream Popper, Peach Popper, Pink Popper, and Red Popper.

Retails for $10.00 each.

POPBeauty Twinkle Texture Multidimensional Palette:
This palette will certainly get your attention! This palette contains 4 silky shimmer shades and 4 complimenting super glitter shadows. These mix and match shades really let you get creative and sparkly with your eye looks!

To use, you just apply your shimmer shade of choice as the base. Then, you layer the super glitter color on top for a totally standout POP effect!

I find with my color preferances, that I am gravitating more towards the silver and purple shades. I might wear the gold as well, but I doubt that I will wear the maroon.

This palette retails for $14.00.

POPBeauty Permanent Pout:
POPBeauty has an assortment of new shades available to their Permanent Pout collection that are collaborations with social media influencers. I totally support that! ;)

Permanent Pout lip shades are long wearing and "kiss proof" formulas. There are quite an assortment of shades from bold to neutral. My favorite shades are Sweet Harmony and Z.

To use, you apply to clean and dry lips. You need to use waterproof makeup remover to remove the color.

Retails for $8.00 each.

POPBeauty Filter Effect Base:
POPBeauty calls these the "no filter foundations"!  These foundations promise light-weight coverage for a beautiful and even complexion. The formula is infused with antioxidants. Plus, it blends in beautifully to blur imperfections and it gives you a lovely natural finish. The coverage is buildable. The formula is also oil-free!

These foundations come in 8 shades. The No. 1 Fair is pretty close to my skin tone.

Retails for $14.00 each.

Be sure to check out these gorgeous NEW items from POPBeauty....especially if you like to shimmer and shine!

Osmosis Colour Mineral Cosmetics' "Midnight Glitz" Makeup Tutorial:

Looking for a gorgeous and glam look for New Years or any fun date-night out in the New Year? Look no further than this gorgeous makeup look featuring Osmosis Colour Mineral Cosmetics.

Created by Global Corporate Educator, Ami Mallon, I am excited to share Osmosis Colour Mineral Cosmetics' "Midnight Glitz" makeup tutorial. Featuring a perfectly contoured complexion and a smokey sparkle, please find the step-by-step guide below.

Step 1:

Using the Angled Blush Brush and the contour shade from the Lustrous Contour Duo, create a thin line from the center of the ear under the cheekbone down to the middle of the brow. Use the same shade to trace under the jawline and blend down to your neck. Then, bring this same shade from the temple across the forehead and blend.

Step 2:

With the Medium Accent Brush and the highlighting shade from the Lustrous Contour Duo, lightly sweep the high points of your face such as the tops of your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, under the brow bone, and the cupid's bow to accent your best features.

Step 3:

Prep the eyes by blending a small amount of the Age Defying Treatment Concealer with the Concealer Brush. Using the Blender Brush, sweep the darker shade from the Lustrous Contour Duo into your crease to create definition.

Step 4:

Apply the Black Eye Pencil on your lid from lash line to crease. Don't worry about precision in this step, we'll be blending it in the next!

Step 5:

Blend the Black Eye Pencil using the Contour Shadow Brush. TIP: Our Eye Pencils are long-wear and will set quickly, so get to blending as soon as you can!

Step 6:

Then, apply Black Eye Pencil to your lower lash line and blend under your eye using the smudge brush at the end of the Eye Pencil for a natural smokey look.

Step 7:

Using your finger or our Smudge Brush, dab Azure Water Color onto the center of your lid and blend into your crease and outwards.

Step 8:

Take the same Smudge Brush and apply a small amount of Azure Water Color to the center of the lower lash line to make the eye look larger.

Step 9:

With your finger or a clean Smudge Brush, dab a small amount of Opal Water Color in your tear duct area as well as under your brow to brighten and highlight! Then, apply several coats of the Volumizing Mascara to complete the eye look.

Step 10:

Pair with your favotire lip and cheek! We went with a soft, pink lippie using our First Kiss Lipstick topped with Flirt Lip Glaze and added a pop of color to the cheeks with one of our favorite blushes, Pink Pearl.

That is it! A beautiful and sophisticated look. Have fun re-creating this look for New Years Eve or any fun night beyond.

High impact color meets a bold metallic finish with the NEWEST addition to the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Collection, the Infallible Metallic Eye Paints. These eyeshadows come in 5 shimmering, chrome shades that allow women to experiment with a variety of looks.

My two favorite shades from this collection are #408 Aluminum Foil (very well named for this silver metallic shiny shadow!) and #404 Caged (seriously, so pretty! I love this shade in the crease). 

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Metallic

High impact matte color meets comfortable wear with the NEWEST addition to the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Collection, the Infallible Paints Metallic Lipcolor. With one stroke, apply bold, metallic, vivid color that won’t feather or bleed. These metallic lips are available in 6 radiant shades from beaming hot pink to foil-inspired silver.

These literally lay down the most impressive amount of highly saturated and richly metallic color in just one swipe. Just beautiful and so dramatic! Love the impact of these. I especially love shade #330 Moon Lust.

Ready to get inspired? I am so excited to share today one of the amazing winning looks from Project Runway Jr! 

I am a huge fan of the Project Runway franchise of shows. Literally, I have been watching for years! Project Runway Jr. is especially interesting as the contestants are kids and they are soooo talented! 

Butter LONDON has such a great lineup of makeup in addition to their awesome line of polishes. Keep reading to find out how this winning Project Runway Jr. look was created. I tested out a couple of the items myself and was so impressed with the vivid color and intesnse pigmentation. The Flash Mob lipgloss has become a new favorite of mine. So pretty!!!

A few weeks ago, Project Runway Junior® brought us the summer heat in the midst of winter! In the always exciting “Unconventional Challenge” episode, this season’s group of next-generation fashion greats found themselves tasked with designing a look using a variety of aquatic materials inspired by nail and makeup sponsor, butter LONDONTM’s, Pure, Posh & Playful personality. While taking in the skyline from atop a Manhattan rooftop pool, these talented teens created ensembles using inflatable flamingos, beach balls, tiki torches and more.

Under the direction of co-hosts Tim Gunn and Hannah Jeter – plus special guest, butter LONDON President Sarina Godin – the designers were definitely not feeling the summertime sadness in the butter LONDON beauty room! With assistance from celebrity makeup artist Scott Patric, contestants dove right in, capping off their pool party-esque attire with punch-colored glosses, sun-kissed bronzers and more. The winning look featured a number of butter LONDON colour and nail favorites, including the award-winning Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator, Double Decker Lashes Mascara and Plush Rush Lip Gloss.
