HAUL: LILEE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOX

Wednesday, March 23, 2016

Hi my beauties! I hope you're all having a fabulous week! A few days ago I came across a company called Lilee. They are a service that send you a monthly supply of mostly beauty related items as part of a monthly subscription. I've only opened one of the products and I've yet to try the rest of the products, so I guess this is more of a haul! Here are a few of the items I got:



Mirabella Beauty Velvet Lip Pencil in "Love Velvet":
This product is smooth and creamy. It is also very pigmented. The color is beautiful for the Spring time and I would say the wear time is average since it is a creamy lip product. 




Other products in the box:
-Pelham Goods Notebook
-Heelho Heel Insoles
-Lilee Custom Colored Pencil Ruler Box
-Primrose Hill London Pencil Case
-Manna Kadar Cosmetics Day-Dream Palette
-Prestige Cosmetics Brow Pencil in Light/Medium
-Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in Ultra Orchid
-Bodipure Keratin Gloves
-Elizabeth Mott Eye Primer

Lilee box costs $49.00 a month and it includes products valued up to $100+. I'm excited to try out these other products. Let me know if you'd like a review on the other products in the box!
Have you tried Lilee before? Comment your thoughts below or any other monthly subscriptions that you love!

*These products were sent to me. I have reviewed the lip product and this is 100% my honest opinion. Other products in this post are part of the haul, but I have not tried them yet to review them.

BIRTHDAY WISH LIST

Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Hi dolls! I had so much fun browsing around finding items that I'm loving, and (of course) would love to get for my birthday coming up on St. Patty's day! In no way am I expecting to receive any of these items, but it's always fun to create a list and work towards something you really want. Here are some fun outfits and items that I've been eyeing and are definitely on my list!


1. HERE // 2. HERE // 3. HERE // 4. HERE // 5. HERE // 6. HERE
7. HERE // 8. HERE // 9. HERE // 10. HERE // 11. HERE // 12. HERE

1. Rebeccah Minkoff Handbag- A white handbag is still in my list. I love the design of this bag. It will look so beautiful with Spring and Summer attires.

2. Necklace- I've been loving small detailed jewelry. Lately, I've noticed that earrings and necklaced make my skin itch and feel uncomfortable, so I've been wanting to invest on some gold or silver jewelry to see if it helps:)

3. White Pants- I've always thought that white pants are so cute! They match any outfit and pretty much scream Spring time!

4. Nike Sneakers- I already have a ton of sneakers, but this style is so so cute! I haven't though of the color I want, but I would love to start pairing outfits with sneakers. I mean, sneakers aren't just for the gym right?

5. Olive Pants with cut on knees- This style of pants has been out for some time and I still haven't gotten me one! And I would love to try out some olive colors!

6. Opened Toe Shoes- These are the cutest! They will look beautiful with almost any outfit!

7. Sunglasses- I love the style of these sunnies and the mirrored lens... so perfect for Spring and Summer!

8. Tom Ford Lipstick- I've heard nothing but good things about this luxurious formula. I would love to try one of these beauties!

9. Chloe Handbag- Because it's gorgeous!

10. Gold Watch- Gold and Silver jewelry are so gorgeous to me! I am in need of a gold watch though to match my accessories and purses. I don't care about the brand, but a watch like this would be perfect!

11. Louboutin Pumps- Nude pumps go with almost everything. This elegant piece will make any outfit. And of course, a nude pump will make your legs look longer and thinner.

12. Makeup Brushes- What can I say about these? They are so popular right now, and I'm hoping it's because they are amazing for makeup! I need to get my hands on at least one of these brushes to see if they're really worth all the hype!

So ladies, what's in your current wish list? Comment below:)





MARCH MORPHE BRUSHES

Thursday, March 10, 2016

I can't believe how fast time is going by. We're already into March! This month's Morphe brushes arrived so quickly. Literally, it took like 2 days and they where outside in my mailbox. I'm so beyond excited to try out this month's brushes. Here they are:




Morphe M527 – Deluxe Pointed Powder ($15.99)
This brush is beautiful! It reminds me so much of the MAC 135. It's large and soft, and thin enough to get into the hollows of the cheekbones. I can see myself using this brush to apply an all over bronzer. I can't wait to use this baby!




Morphe M438 – Pointed Contour ($9.99)
I finally have one of these "dome" brushes. It's the perfect size for setting powders under the eyes. It would be great for contouring, too.

Morphe M501 – Pro Pointed Blender ($7.99)
This one is so similar to the M438, but it's a bit smaller. I'm already looking into using this for highlighting. It looks so perfect for that highlight on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose.



I will let you know how I like these brushes. So far I have loved every brush from Morphe. They are amazing quality, and of course, incredibly affordable. Let me know if you've tried any Morphe Brushes and which ones you recommend:)



CUT CREASE WITH CHOCOLATE BON BONS

Wednesday, March 2, 2016

Hello beauties! I hope you are all doing fabulous! So, for the first time I did a cut crease eye look and I'm so excited to start creating more looks like this. I used the new Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette for the eyeshadows which were perfect for blending and creating the cut crease. Below are all the details for this look. As always, let me know what you think and always feel free to let me know what you'd like to see next:)


PRODUCTS USED

EYES
-"NW30" Prolongwear concealer by MAC Cosmetics as a primer
- "Chocolate Bon Bons" palette by Too Faced for the eyeshadows
               Crease- "Almond Truffle", "Mocha" and "Bordeaux"
               Brow Bone- "Divinity"
               Lid- "Satin Sheets" (Spray brush with MAC FIX+ before dipping in shadow to intensify color)

-"Black" maracuja gel liner by Tarte to create the wing.
-"D207" Dodo lashes. Use code "littlemissnati" for $ off.
-"Lights, Camera, Lashes" mascara by Tarte to blend the lashes with the falsies, and for bottom lashes.

EYEBROWS
- "Medium Brown" Dip Brow Pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills. I use brush #7 to apply this. The trick is to apply thin layers at a time, and always tilt your brush so that the brush hairs stay nice and thin while applying. Let me know if you would like a brow tutorial!
-"Clear Brow Gel" by Anastasia Bevely Hills to set them brows in place.

FACE
-"Angel Veil" primer by NYX Cosmetics
-"NW30" Prolongwear concealer by MAC Cosmetics to cover up the dark circles

-"Light Warm"  Naked concealer by Urban Decay to highlight under the eyes, bridge of the nose, center of forehead, and cupids bow area.
-"Rich" maracuja creaseless concealer by Tarte cosmetics to contour the hollows of the cheeks, under the chin, forehead, and side of the nose.
-"Contour Palette" by Anastasia Beverly Hills to set the highlighter and contoured areas.
-"Opal" highlighter by BECCA to highlight the cheekbones, tip of the nose, bridge of the nose, inner corner of the eyes, and cupids bow.

LIPS
- "Pure Hollywood" liquid lipstick mixed with "Vamp" liquid lipstick, both by Anastasia Beverly Hills. I recommend using a little bit of lipbalm if your lips get too dry with liquid lipsticks.
