This bright orange Maybelline blush will make your Spring!


Today I wanted to show you two Maybelline Color Goes Electric LE blushes:  Coral Burst and Golden Fuse.  An electric orange blush?  Count me curious!


 These beautiful blushes cost about $7.50/each when I found them at Walgreens.  I haven't had any luck finding them in CVS yet.


The orange is glorious and can be built up to an amazing, deep flush.  The golden color is perfect for a some subtle warmth and shimmer.  I actually used mine as a bronzer but I know many people could pull this off as a highlighter.


Do you need these?  Yes!  Well, you must have the orange blush.  The quality is impeccable and saved me from the terrible lemming I've been having to buy a bright orange NARS blush like Exhibit A.


See if you can find them in your local stores - you won't regret it!


XOXO

P.S.
I can't stop listening to these two songs!  OMG, it's just constant!

Get a Snow Bunny glow with Too Faced bronzer

Too Faced makes some of the most lovely packaging - it's always so girly and elegant.  Too Faced is known for having some incredible bronzers and this one is no different:


This is Too Faced Snow Bunny Bronzer and it's specifically designed for paler complexions.  This gives just the right amount of bronzy glow without looking overdone.


In "snow bunny" versus "beach bunny" I'd say that I'm definitely a snow bunny!  I love to ski whenever I get the chance, which is not too often.


I use this on my temples and underneath my chin - wherever I need a slight glow.


This is a mix of white, bronze, and two different pinks.  One pink is more champagne and less true pink.  Too Faced describes these colors as "golden bronze/ delicate pink/ white/ fawn glimmer."


I just lightly swirl the brush around all the color and then tap the excess out into the pan.  The color is gorgeous.


As you can see - it's not too much.  Just a light amount of bronzing.


And it never looks orange, which is the curse of a lot of bronzers.


You can buy this HERE for $29.  I've used this one daily for almost a year now and I still have yet to hit pan, so it's a pretty great value!


XOXO

10 things I would repurchase immediately


If you've ever gotten into watching beauty Youtubers, you'll know that they're a lot like beauty bloggers, except they exclusively produce videos.  I'd say that's how I first got into the world of beauty as a hobby - I watched instructional videos about beauty techniques!  

I have a lot of respect for beauty Youtubers because they do a lot of creative things with their channels.  One thing you'll se pretty often is "tag" videos, where a person comes up with an idea for a video and then tags people so they'll make a similar video.  (These often take the form of a list of some sort.)  

One type of tag video that has floated around is the "10 Things I'd Repurchase."  The idea is simple:  if you were to lose ALL of your makeup collection tomorrow, what would be the first ten things you'd repurchase?



When you have a pretty large collection, this can be a tough question!  (I got mine down to eleven and finally gave up and took out my Sephora crease blending brush.)

Anyway, here are my ten products I would have to IMMEDIATELY repurchase!  (Click on the listed price to purchase.  If the product name is linked, it means I've written about it before and you can click to read.)


1.)  Milk of Magnesia - $9.39 - I've already explained how much I love this product.  I need this as my primer in the morning!

2.)  Skin 79 Super Beblish Balm Pink Label - $13.79 - This is my Holy Grail BB balm (and foundation).  It applies like a dream, stays all day, and doesn't break me out.  It's seriously perfect.  I'm planning an in-depth review, so look for that soon.

3.)  Urban Decay Primer Potion - $9 - This is the sample bottle I received with my #4 item!  Lol.  UDPP is a HG product for many, many people.  It goes on creamy and makes your eyeshadow stay in place all day long!


4.)  Urban Decay Naked palette - $50 - OMGGGG.  Do you have this yet?  If you don't, step away from your computer and drive to the nearest Ulta or Sephora and buy it.  No really, go.  I'll wait.  Ok, you're back?  Good.  Seriously - it is amazing.  This is the ONLY palette you need if you want nice, neutral looks or smokey dramatic eyes.  You can't go wrong with nudes and neutrals.


5.)  Benefit Coralista Boxed Blush - $28 - This blush is so lovely.  Trust me - it was a toss up between this one and NARS Orgasm blush.  However, I picked this one since it has an included brush and if I lost everything in my stash I would need a brush!  

6.)  Too Faced Caribbean in a Compact Snow Bunny Bronzer - $29 - This is the best bronzer I've ever come across.  It has four stripes of color which keeps it from being too orangey.  This is my HG bronzer and I couldn't be happier with it.  I would have to replace it!


7.)  Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Strawburn - $22 - I've talked about this baby before.  I need it, have to have it, can't live without it anymore.

8.)  Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner in Demolition - $19 - Wow, 30% of the products on this list are UD!  They really are my favorite brand EVER!  This color smudges easily and stays all day long.  I really love how easy it is to apply without tugging or dragging.

9.)  Fairy Drops Scandal Queen mascara - $24 - This is one of my biggest indulgences.  It's just too amazing and makes my eyelashes look a million miles long.  Review forthcoming, I promise!  


10.)  Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - $19 - I had used a cheap, terrible eyelash curler for six years (SIX YEARS, Y'ALL!) before I purchased this one.  I knew I deserved it, after using crap for so long.  Beauty bloggers all over the internet sing the praises of this baby and for good reason.  It's so good that it's unreal.  You can create incredibly dramatic curls with it.

So there you have it!  These are the 10 products that I'd have to replace right away if I lost them!

What are your top ten?  Let me know!  Do we have any in common?  Would you choose more face products or more eye products?


XOXO

Look TANtalizingly bronze with Lorac TANtalizer

We've established by now that I'm pale.  Really pale.  (I kinda pride myself on it, actually.)  However, bronzer can be a girl's (or guy's) best friend!  Not only can you contour your face with it, but it can give you a healthy, safe glow year round.  One of my picks is the Lorac TANtalizer Baked Bronzer.


This product is the smaller travel size that doesn't have a brush compartment.  This one is 0.13 oz and I think I paid about $8 - $10 for it.  The larger size comes with a brush, contains 0.367 oz, and costs $32.  


I love how it swivels open!  I'm a sucker for cool packaging!


Here's a picture of the bigger version from Lorac's website:
I really love the texture on this product.  It's a lovely color that isn't too crazy and works even on my pale skin.  Be sure to use a light hand and not too much product.  



This product does have a fair amount of shimmer, so it can be bad about accentuating pores.  If you have big pores, be careful!  



I think this is plenty of product and I wouldn't purchase the bigger one.  Use a light hand and this will last you forever!

You can pick it up from Lorac's website HERE for $32.  


XOXO
