The one thing I dislike about Winter is my skin acting up! I have oily skin, but around the winter I have dry-combination skin. Some areas can be dry/patchy and other areas can be extremely oily. This winter I added a couple more things to my skincare routine, as well as continuing to use some things from my fall rotation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bp8Cz" target="_blank">The Ordinary: Lactic Acid 10% + HA ($6.80/1 oz)</a> was something new I wanted to try. This helps with exfoliating your skin, I have always preferred a chemical exfoliation over physical just because of how it feels/works on my skin. Other times I will use the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bp8CK" target="_blank">Drunk Elephant: T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum ($90/1 oz)</a>, this has been apart of my skincare for a couple of years now. At first it was a little harsh on my skin since I wasn't used to an acid, but now my skin loves this stuff. I use these either 2-3 times a week, but never at the same time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since both those acids are kind of harsh, the days when I'm not using them I like to drown my face in <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bp8CQ" target="_blank">The Ordinary: 100% Cold Pressed Virgin Marula Oil ($9.90/1 oz)</a>.

I've been trying out a bunch of different ones. This year I really liked the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bp8CW" target="">Evolve Organic Beauty: Gentle Cleansing Melt ($28/4 oz)</a>. The texture reminds me of Vaseline, but once you apply it to your face (dry) and then add a little bit of water, you'd then massage it into your makeup turning it into a rich creamy milky texture. I noticed that adding a cleansing balm into my skin care routine helped with my skin a lot. When I didn't use a cleansing balm I felt like the sunscreen wasn't fully getting removed which caused blemishes. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjDIZ2_GvTSI_NePRX7R50ziTIpZ4wvg9_5VuNKA0eU3-wef0BgdScVdDjJtFzFBWlExwzks4e6h2i8EWicP7q6phuo5wADwy-GL0QUPfl7Vs60SMeFDeQWAC2mc5r5S3mNJw9CHKWK_c/s2000/Perfectshadeofmauve+Winter+Favorites+2020+Farmacy+Deep+Sweep.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1336" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjDIZ2_GvTSI_NePRX7R50ziTIpZ4wvg9_5VuNKA0eU3-wef0BgdScVdDjJtFzFBWlExwzks4e6h2i8EWicP7q6phuo5wADwy-GL0QUPfl7Vs60SMeFDeQWAC2mc5r5S3mNJw9CHKWK_c/s16000/Perfectshadeofmauve+Winter+Favorites+2020+Farmacy+Deep+Sweep.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bp8C8" target="_blank">Farmacy: Deep Sweep 2% BHA Pore Cleaning Toner with Moringa + Papaya ($28/4oz)</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I love toners, they're one of my favorite steps in my routine.

This is my third outdoor dining experience and I decided to write this blog post because....why not! My cousin and I went to eat at <a href="https://www.goldendinerny.com/menus" target="_blank">The Golden Diner</a>, located at 123 Madison Street, New York, NY. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We were out and about most of the day running a ton of errands, so by the time we had our reservation we were <b>extremely</b> hungry. While looking through the menu (and yelp), we were conflicted on what to order. It took us a while to decide on what we wanted to eat. We kept telling each other, "fine, if we don't get this now....we'll get it <i>next time</i>." </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhk8MOSuM4245P2EMietcbbjQd5mUK-RpBc1wk5OWLEdwJrztBfXOUAeCu1IhdqXYUMB_zrXuPCE11rfG3DjcZkmMK1w0urIl_x1LXtY3R6hlO1G6yFNdBRfOzfNCncxJmc7xdmviDJYp/s1250/The+Golden+Diner+-+Korean+Fried+Chicken.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="835" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhk8MOSuM4245P2EMietcbbjQd5mUK-RpBc1wk5OWLEdwJrztBfXOUAeCu1IhdqXYUMB_zrXuPCE11rfG3DjcZkmMK1w0urIl_x1LXtY3R6hlO1G6yFNdBRfOzfNCncxJmc7xdmviDJYp/s16000/The+Golden+Diner+-+Korean+Fried+Chicken.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Korean Fried Chicken $14</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Both of us wanted to try this but we prefer boneless wings, but after so much back and forth we finally decided to order the Korean Fried Chicken. The wings are tossed in garlic kochujang glaze, and it didn't have much of a kick to it, the sweetness was definitely overpowering it. It was crunchy due to the glaze, which had a really nice flavor to it. I would give this a 3 out of 5 stars.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="835" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWSXqHjuNbOVyNHcEbvsdfH0C5Cmi-w1QFaPSz3KG2GhPe0_yB_tdsaBoqnQfIGOysOfB_Ci37rOhsslH-rFAyT0fXiulQA0IfmF02PmePmushpZcivNohtEcf_oDVG9Y55whlHUx6PBH/s16000/The+Golden+Diner+-+Chinatown+Egg+%2526+Cheese+Sando.jpg" style="text-align: left;" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Chinatown Egg & Cheese Sando $9</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My cousin decided on the Chinatown Egg & Cheese Sando which was soft scrambled eggs, American cheese, hash brown patty, served on a sesame scallion milk bun. She said the softness of the scrambled eggs complimented the crispiness of the hash brown patty and would rate this a 4 out of 5 stars. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="835" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbhyG2cl8J9jOLbO9vkCy3MONLHWL1hyphenhyphenxmRf4t85mcuUzO0DackJsqRysO-lOO8mqllCg9MAeg2_YdJEtsA2FSAb20sJaARon3RXd4XNFbVpE7WmmaMJbgNrS2iT3LP4BkEnX7aBteB8-t/s640/The+Golden+Diner+-+Chicken+Katsu+Club.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Chicken Katsu Club $15</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After looking on yelp and seeing that the Chicken Katsu Club and the Golden Cheeseburger (the pickles in the photos were convincing me) seemed to be the most popular items on the menu, I had a hard time deciding. In the end I decided to try the Chicken Katsu Club since it sounded more interesting. It was a chicken cutlet, lettuce, tomato, cabbage slaw and bulldog sauce. This tasted amazing! I think the slaw added so much texture and really made this sandwich. I would give this a 4 out of 5</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="835" data-original-width="1250" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpjNGewzKyFTMFcrQjKHKDZbLjN0czY_BKN27ca09gLTuoxLVjB4OrsOjO9nJXPqnpVS0Iva26BnnJ4skGKKOLSzf7vWP6lvoXlcwQdt78G3duTj23WKtJJMpPt1h4fC0mhYT1ZV38hOl/w640-h429/The+Golden+Diner+-+Green+Tea+Coffee+Cake.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Green Tea Coffee Cake $5</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">This coffee cake was actually bigger than we expected for it to be. You can really taste the matcha in this, but it wasn't bitter at all. The cake was sweet but not to the point where it was sickening. The cake was slightly dry, but not too bad. Both of us rated this a 4 out of 5. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="835" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgpZunw3j-dTM-dJU0GxedG4h2GuOSMQvCQcOqDSo1pWFxrLpBCfbDuUXP4WALiAgkEVnu7nVsRKB5enBUGwwzrczRBejG7S06vxXQ_n_bV0VPktRNVEp6qYuuCdpKDYqX2P5eMKY5BWm/w429-h640/The+Golden+Diner+Food+Diaries.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="429" /></div>Overall, I would recommend going to The Golden Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A goal I have now is to consistently start posting on my blog again. I realized that I haven't been posting on here often and I really miss writing about products I've been loving. So even though we've been in quarantine, I've still been spending a lot of money buying new products unfortunately, but there are products that I've had for a while that I've started to use again. </div>

My skin has really been acting up in quarantine, I think it's because I have basically been indoors since March. I left my Drunk Elephant: <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bj08K">T.L.C Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum</a> back at my apartment, but was in desperate need of it so I ordered another one. The one I had back at my apartment was really old anyways so it was time to repurchase, but the reason why I ordered this was because I remember that whenever my skin would act up or get bumpy in some spots, this serum really helped to calm it down and help get rid of some of the bumps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I brought the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bj09X">Origins: Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask</a> with me from my apartment because I knew I would be expecting some breakouts. My skin loves to freak out randomly, and I was right. I like this mask better than the original since it has some honey in it so it's not so drying, I could actually talk without feeling the mask break apart on my face.</div>

My hair has been so dry lately, it might be from being out in the sun too often or going into the pool a couple of times. But I am running so low on this <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/verb-ghost-weightless-hair-oil-P399992">Verb: Ghost Weightless Hair Oil</a>! When I don't use this my hair is dryer than you could imagine, but when I do use this my hair feels so silky and smooth. My hair type is frizzy, sometimes straight and often very wavy. I have a ton of hair oils, and this has been the one I've been reaching for the most this month.</div>

<br />
I love the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bj09H">Glossier: Hand Cream</a>, it feels amazing and smells so lovely. If you're a fan of the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bj1aY">Glossier You Fragrance,</a> you'll love this. It feels very light weight and absorbs into your hands without leaving that greasy/sticky feeling most hand creams do. I am also obsessed with the packaging of this, it is so sleek and fits into my purse while most hand creams don't (probably because I don't buy the mini sizes).<br />
<br />
Earrings! I've been on an earrings kick for months now, and I discovered this brand called <a href="https://www.aleyole.com/">Aleyole</a>. There are such cute earrings on there and they're decently priced. I loved <a href="https://mejuri.com/">Mejuri</a> earrings but they can be pretty expensive, and I noticed some of my earrings getting discolored....I still love the brand though. I bought a ton of earrings from Aleyole, and one I've been wearing a lot is the <a href="https://www.aleyole.com/collections/aros/products/madonna-gold">Madonna Gold</a> style. I get a ton of compliments from friends whenever I have these on and they're extremely comfortable.<br />

I've been a huge fan of Glossier for a long time, and over the years tried the entire product line up. I'm usually a powder blush user, but I've really been switching between cream and powder products often. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/biNFg">Cloud Paint</a> is one of my favorite cream blushes, and since I have every shade I decided to give a quick review of all of them.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Left to right: Puff, Beam, Dusk, Dawn, Haze, Storm)</span></div>
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/biNFg">Cloud Paint</a> is 0.33 oz for $18, and with this product a little product goes a long way. I think the mistake a lot of people make with this is using too much. When dispensing the product you should start with the tiniest amount, and if you need more then you can add more because this formula is so buildable/blendable.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><u>Puff </u></b>- light cool pink, such a pretty spring shade.</li>
<li><b><u>Beam </u></b>- soft peach, when I think of summery, I think of this shade. It's so pretty and it just brightens up your face.</li>
<li><b><u>Dusk</u></b> - brownish nude, my favorite shade out of the whole collection. It looks very natural, and since I always have on a nude lip and brown eyeshadow this gives me a beautiful monochromatic makeup look.</li>
<li><b><u>Dawn </u></b>- sunny coral, this brightens up my cheeks and it's such a pretty shade.</li>
<li><b><u>Haze </u></b>- deep berry, I don't reach for this shade often just because I don't usually wear berry shades. But it's still really pretty.</li>
<li><b><u>Storm </u></b>- warm rose, I think of fall whenever I see this shade. It gives you that "I just stepped in from the cold" look.</li>
</ul>

The thing about cloud paint is that you can mix and make your own, that's what I really like about this product. My favorite mixture is dusk + dawn, it makes this beautiful warm orange nude shade. I don't always mix since I like the shades as is, but when I feel like being a little more experimental with my makeup I love mixing the shades.<br />

Every year I go crazy during this sale, spending hundreds of dollars. Most of the time it ends up being products I barely reach for which is a complete waste of money. So this year I decided to be smarter during the sale and to just pick up things I knew I loved. Most of these were skincare essentials.<br />

I mentioned this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWr5">Sunday Riley U.F.O. oil</a> in my <a href="http://www.perfectshadeofmauve.com/2020/03/skincare-i-had-less-than-30-minutes-to.html">Skincare I Had Less Than 30 Minutes to Pack</a> post. I've been using this product for a couple of years now and my skin is extremely sensitive but I haven't come across any issues with this. There are times where this helps clear up spots immediately and times where I can't tell if there's a huge difference. I do think that it's worth the money especially for someone who gets the occasional break out here and there.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been obsessed with the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWus">Youth To The People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream</a>, it's one of the only face creams that truly work for me. My skin type is oily, but lately it's been suffering with dry patches. I got a really bad allergic reaction to something in December and my skin has been recovering ever since. But this cream works wonders. I used to use this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWsr">Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer</a> all the time back in high school, but my skin was getting way too oily to continue using it. I've heard that they've reformulated and I've been seeing this all over youtube so it was a good time to test it out again. The <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWu4">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a> has been something I use every single day. There's no lip balm that can compete with this really. Although the ingredient list isn't the cleanest....I find that this is the only lip product that locks in moisture for me.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWxW">Beauty blenders</a> are so overpriced, but I have yet to find another beauty sponge that is as soft/blends my foundation effortlessly. Since this was a pretty good deal in a set I decided to repurchase since I was in need of a new sponge. The <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bhWx2">YSL Lip Cream</a> was a new launch that looked pretty interesting. I used to fall into the craze of liquid lipsticks but almost all of them were so drying/sucked all the moisture out of my lips. It looked so gross. But this lip cream I've tried it out already and it feels amazing on my lips, slightly thick but it doesn't make my lips feel tight and dry. </div>

First off, I want to start by saying that I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! It's such a scary and confusing time right now. I've been trying to stay positive and not think too much about the negative outcomes. When all of this was happening I wasn't taking it too seriously, but as the news of Covid-19 was on the news everyday it started to get scary. I went back home to stay with my family, so I quickly packed up my things. Which leads me to this blog post - I had a few hours to pack up my skincare before my dad picked me up from my apartment, and this was what I chose!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I use the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bferz">Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser</a> everyday, it's one of my favorite favorite cleansers. It's so soft and gentle which I like. My skin is really sensitive so it's hard for me to find a really good cleanser, but this one I've been using religiously for years now. Instead of bringing my <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bfep1">Glossier Milky Oil</a> (I ran out!) I had no choice but to bring my <a href="https://www.skinstore.com/la-roche-posay-micellar-water-various-types/12018805.html">La Roche-Posay Micellar Water</a> with me, the only reason why I have this to begin with, is because on vacation I forgot to bring a makeup remover and this was the only thing available that I most likely wasn't allergic to. I dislike the fragrance - it's quite strong and I feel like my face gets tight/dry after using this.<br />
<br />
One of my best friends got me the Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Calming Gel Cream. I've been hearing so much about this on blogs so I've been wanting to try it. I have oily skin, but since it's been colder out my skin has a few dry patches here and there. This is a gel cream so it's good for oily skin, but it's nourishing enough for those dry parts of my face. I love how lightweight this is, and it doesn't make my skin look greasy.<br />

My skin has been breaking out again...(so annoying). But I've been using this oil for years now and I find that it does help to clear up my skin. Whenever I get breakouts my skin looks so dull, but this kind of helps to clear up the breakouts while making other parts of my face look more lively. I don't use this everyday, more like twice a week.</div>

I have a couple of dry patches on my face which I blame on the weather. There are also some days where my skin feels so dry, and I find that this oil is a quick fix. Also I still remember my skin was so dehydrated once after a vacation I was on, I also wasn't drinking much water. My skin had a ton of little dots on it, and after two days of wearing this all over it went away. So I've been really attached to this oil.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJq6_JIpfb6SROC_z7aSCyNo_XDKNm8VxkkCUz21QKMdtSMUNqgON70Ar058mPRfMWVUEp8qGaNLTTiAIdti9sY4hAQGkgSNXIziwgf0R6M61WvUv_2VjEs2VuyxjnpGGLD2oZDWbd-6h/s1600/74CE3F72-118C-44A2-8E90-A0CB84E6DB15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJq6_JIpfb6SROC_z7aSCyNo_XDKNm8VxkkCUz21QKMdtSMUNqgON70Ar058mPRfMWVUEp8qGaNLTTiAIdti9sY4hAQGkgSNXIziwgf0R6M61WvUv_2VjEs2VuyxjnpGGLD2oZDWbd-6h/s1600/74CE3F72-118C-44A2-8E90-A0CB84E6DB15.JPG" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I bought this during one of the Sephora VIB sales and I am in love with this! I love how rich the cream feels, and it really moisturizes and locks in the moisture. It doesn't make my face feel greasy which I love. It's hard to find a thick moisturizer that doesn't make you look like a greasy mess in the morning!</div>

Fall is my favorite time of the year because it's not scorching hot. But I feel like this year the weather went from summer straight to winter which I'm not a fan of at all. I didn't get to wear any of my cute fall clothes, because I've been all bundled up with my thick sweaters and heavy jacket. Luckily, my fall makeup look hasn't been affected at all.<br />

The Natasha Denona Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette is something that I just started to use and I have been loving the shades in this. I've never been disappointed in the Natasha Denona formula, just the price point. I do have to say that her shadows are so easy to blend and the tones in this palette is quite unique. This palette has been pushing me out of my very warm neutral brown look, and I've been trying to incorporate more of the reds, yellows, and oranges into my fall glam. My favorite shadows in this palette have to be all the shimmer shades - they're all so easy to layer as well.<br />

<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/baJHZ">(Kat Von D: True Portrait Foundation, $36)</a></div>
Something I use every single day, no matter what makeup look or if I'm even wearing makeup is <a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/invisible-shield">Glossier's Invisible Shield</a>. I love that this doesn't leave a white cast, and that it blends into my skin seamlessly. I usually go back and forth when using different sunscreens, but I've been using this consistently since the summer now.<br />
<br />
These days I've been very into light weight foundations, or a skin tint. Recently during the Sephora VIB sale I picked up this Kat Von D True Portrait Foundation. On the description of this foundation it says that it's a light weight medium cover foundation that sets to an airy matte finish. I find that it's a very buildable foundation, and it reminds me of <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/baJJm">Glossier's Perfecting Skin Tint</a>, except it's a demi-matte. On day's my skin is feeling a little more dry I'll use the perfecting skin tint, and on days I want a little more coverage than my perfecting skin tint I'll use this true portrait foundation.<br />

Please ignore my horrible arm swatches - never been good at these, but hey at least I'm trying! But I'm so into these muted brown/peachy shades. Sometimes if I feel like my lips look a little too nude, I'll put on my KKW x Mario gloss and it makes the whole look complete. I've been layering these two together whenever I do my makeup and it lasts a while even after eating.<br />

May flew by so fast, I'm still thinking that it's April. During the month of May I might have done a little (a lot) damage at Sephora. But the products that I'm mentioning in this post are products that have been in my everyday makeup routine rotation.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I've been keeping my makeup a little more minimal lately. Instead of waking up at 5:30 am to do my makeup and hair, I decided that I needed more sleep (duh). I save a lot more time doing my makeup when I'm using fewer products, and I have more time to get some beauty sleep in.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/3YWc"> Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush - Pillow Talk</a> and <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/3YWn">Filmstar Bronze & Glow Contour Duo</a></span></div>
I had the bronze & glow for a long time now, luckily it's still good and not giving me any sort of reactions. This product used to be something that was discussed all the time on Youtube which was why I purchased it in the first place! But I started using this again and I've been gravitating towards it. During the VIB sale I picked up the cheek to chic blush in pillow talk, I remember when the pillow talk collection launched I really wanted to get this, but it was always sold out. It really creates such a beautiful flush on the cheeks.<br />

<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/3YXK" style="font-size: small; text-align: center;">Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer - Shady Biz</a></div>
I really didn't think that I needed another bronzer added to my collection. If I were to guess, I probably have 12 different bronzers which I definitely don't need. But I heard a lot about this Fenty bronzer and decided to purchase it during the VIB sale. This is one of the best bronzers I ever used, it's so pigmented and blends in effortlessly. My bronzer doesn't look cakey if I layer it on either, I also love using this as eyeshadow.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fresh has some of my favorite skin care products, I feel like they're THAT brand that everyone just loves and trusts. I've been using their products since middle school and always have something from the brand in my collection. I forgot why I decided to purchase this lip balm, but I've already gone through 4 of these. It keeps my lips smooth and moisturized, the only downside is that it's $18 and I feel like I go through this really quickly.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2EOP0R-y1fuU1W2miDMtli7bDn1QJr1bHhcdPDZnp_Ov56jBfoo7d0F-hGOqn3Ruvd6daQ6y74m9-LV3tcZTGS4o7DiRWLwO7Uj3p60Kv7GESwwohDRE8JucOx6OC_ax9jxjFJZcS0ezi/s1600/May+Favorites+Perfectshadeofmauve+mac+fix+plus+lavender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2EOP0R-y1fuU1W2miDMtli7bDn1QJr1bHhcdPDZnp_Ov56jBfoo7d0F-hGOqn3Ruvd6daQ6y74m9-LV3tcZTGS4o7DiRWLwO7Uj3p60Kv7GESwwohDRE8JucOx6OC_ax9jxjFJZcS0ezi/s1600/May+Favorites+Perfectshadeofmauve+mac+fix+plus+lavender.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/3YXK" style="font-size: small;">MAC Pre + Prime Fix Plus + Lavender</a></div>
I remember back when people used to talk about this all the time. I never got into the fix plus trend because of my oily skin, but recently I have been loving fix plus. I like to use it on days when I have minimal makeup or if my makeup looks a little too matte. This really helps perfect my look.<br />
<br />
What are your favorite products in May?

I've been a little better at controlling myself when it comes to buying beauty products. My makeup drawers are getting extremely cluttered and that really made me reconsider buying anymore. So the month of February I have been trying to just use what I already have.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
(<a href="https://www.kyliecosmetics.com/products/toasty-bronzer">Kylie Cosmetics Toasty Bronzer</a>)</div>
I really love Kylie Cosmetics' products. I've never had an issue with any of the formulations. This bronzer works really well with my skin tone and it's extremely easy to blend. I'm quite heavy handed with my bronzer (love that bronzed look) but I find that this formula makes it easy to layer so you can never really go overboard.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently picked up the NARS primer at a sample sale and I really like it. My eyelids do get oily and I find that if I don't prime my eyes my eyeshadow tends to crease. Between this and my Smashbox eyeshadow primer, can't live without either. Every time I use the NARS Singapore eyeshadow quad I get many compliments and questions about it. It blends so effortlessly and it's great to wear day or night. The shades are pigmented and not patchy at all. I find that a lot of shimmery shades can be not as pigmented as you'd like it to be, but the pigment on the shimmery shades in this palette....I give it all an A++++</div>

My mascara would always smudge under my eyes, and it's been a learning process when it comes to picking the right one. Some mascaras work for my lashes but not the bottom lashes. If I look in the mirror after a few hours and see that there's a lot of smudging, I know that the mascara just won't work for me. When I picked this up I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was no smudging after looking in the mirror after a long day of work.</div>

I've used the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/0ytL">Glossier Boy Brow</a> for many years now and it worked really well for my brows. But after I made the switch to the Kush Brow Gel, I noticed a huge difference. It was definitely more pigmented, lasted a lot longer, and it made my brows look like brows. I've repurchased this at least 3 times now and I'm not planning to look elsewhere.<br />

Hello again! It's been a really long time since I've posted anything on my blog or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/perfectshadesofmauve/">instagram</a>. I've had an extremely hectic personal life, but now that things have settled down *knocks on wood* I'm excited to start posting again. I've made it my new years resolution to start getting back into blogging again, and after taking photos for this post I realized how much I missed it.<br />

The first thing I needed to purchase was the milky jelly cleanser. I've gone through a ton of cleansers and I always end up going back to this one. This is extremely gentle on my sensitive skin, and I find that it does a good job cleansing. I even repurchased a back up and a bottle for my sister - we love it!</div>

This product was actually the main purpose for my trip to the Glossier store. I first tested this in stores by removing my lipstick and it came off with two swipes which is amazing. Usually I use <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/0ec5">Garnier's micellar water</a> which is $8.99 for 13.5floz, it's definitely more affordable but I love giving different brands a try whenever they have new launches.</div>

This lipstick never really caught my eye, there are so many lipsticks out there in the market and this was never really something that I NEEDED to have. But my friend was really hyping this up and convinced me to give it a try. Of course I purchased the neutral shade, but I'm definitely looking forward to doing a full makeup look again to try this out.</div>

My friend was also raving about this mascara. She said it was all she used and that it was cry/sweat proof (definite plus). I have issues with mascara smudging underneath my eyes so when she said that it lasts through that, I knew I needed to give it a try. </div>

I have purchased quite a few new products and added it to my collection. Some are fairly recent releases and some are older releases. These products have gotten a permanent spot on my vanity which means that I use them almost everyday.<br />
<a name='more'></a>As soon as I saw the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OxUs">Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette</a> I knew I needed to get it because the colors were so me. It is similar to a lot of other palettes - but I love the formulation of ABH eyeshadows and I don't regret this purchase one bit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwejoTcaydo7xJ_fId7u7l7NEPPjmruB6Bs4nvtjN9HRwNdehmahOWmWO3a1AUGjvAr3Uus6Yb0BRXreAed8aHqwrWTZGS3yJlwaSeLnizd534gnmsHTdo8-piE4w6AZ0qBlE2IxQmgah/s1600/Anastasia+Beverly+Hills+Soft+Glam+Palette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="828" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwejoTcaydo7xJ_fId7u7l7NEPPjmruB6Bs4nvtjN9HRwNdehmahOWmWO3a1AUGjvAr3Uus6Yb0BRXreAed8aHqwrWTZGS3yJlwaSeLnizd534gnmsHTdo8-piE4w6AZ0qBlE2IxQmgah/s1600/Anastasia+Beverly+Hills+Soft+Glam+Palette.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've used my <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/translucent-loose-setting-powder-P109908?skuId=870618&icid2=products%20grid:p109908">Laura Mercier Translucent Powder</a> for years now, but I wanted to change things up and try something different. I'm really glad I did because this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OxUI">Too Faced Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder</a> has really helped me with my oily skin this summer. It doesn't give flashback and helps my makeup last a really long time, it also doesn't look cakey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdMdW_0bRxXYqCvAbHT36xpCT-fGmk-d9tob0W4cNYxIo8WDuquteiPGsGc08X1jYe8n6vl869ppq95-qCLxDWASMSbBDE_yrF8B6MX2dRc3U5OmAZkkEzI24BcGjEZ8fMLDrU_JouvyT/s1600/Too+Faced+Peach+Perfect+Mattifying+Setting+Powder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="828" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdMdW_0bRxXYqCvAbHT36xpCT-fGmk-d9tob0W4cNYxIo8WDuquteiPGsGc08X1jYe8n6vl869ppq95-qCLxDWASMSbBDE_yrF8B6MX2dRc3U5OmAZkkEzI24BcGjEZ8fMLDrU_JouvyT/s1600/Too+Faced+Peach+Perfect+Mattifying+Setting+Powder.jpg" /></a></div>
Bronzer has become my new obsession, it was previously highlights but lately I've been obsessed with that bronzy cheek look. I have a ton of bronzers and recently added the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OxTc">Marc Jacobs O!Mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan</a> into my collection and wow....it's great. It's not a extremely pigmented bronzer so it's not possible to go overboard with it. It's extremely blendable and smells AMAZING.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Charlotte Tilbury is one of those brands that I really trust, I have yet to have a bad experience with their lipstick formulations. I wanted something more nude in comparison to the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OxTB">Very Victoria</a> shade so I purchased <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OxVa">Nude Kate</a>; I love this shade and the lipstick lasts a long time on my lips. This was the lipstick that I wore on my graduation day and it didn't let me down!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/OzJC">YSL Volupte Liquid Color Balm in #6 Undress Me Coral</a> is definitely not a color I would usually reach for. But since it is summer time, I do wanna use lip colors that aren't only nude. This formula is really great since it's like a liquid lipstick but at the same time it isn't. It feels very light on my lips and lasts a long time, once the "gloss" fades, there is a stain on my lips. I definitely want to get this in other colors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I definitely broke my no buy goal, but I'm really glad I purchased these products. I've been using them religiously and loving all the looks I've been creating.<br />

So I was lucky enough to go to a soft grand opening of <a href="http://republicofbooza.com/">Republic of Booza</a>, located at 76 N 4th St, Brooklyn, NY 11249. I am a huge lover of ice cream and I've gone to a TON of ice cream/frozen yogurt places in New York. Actually, I get ice cream any chance I can because....why not? But what makes this place stand out?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
First of all, this ice cream STRETCHES. Yes, you read that right. STRETCHES. I believe this is a Middle Eastern type of ice cream and I'm completely in love with it. The texture was amazing, it was creamy, and not too sugary. They have a ton of different unique flavors, flavors I wouldn't expect in ice cream. I love my Mango with Tajin....but in ice cream? Surprisingly it wasn't weird tasting. It's so hard to explain but as soon as I had a taste of it, I was obsessed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxFA3J8bMfot_F2aZbT7KbT2nrtmW30Dort6jV-RwTSsr0mlCrrZF1XGLx9-QGQIUN4Aear5FFDXChqpOzcVAcUglDjWTaHMFGxHYqn9wPOdz_j2oSDLVEew2FFlie2z6CUUdajTwSxmZ/s1600/Republic+of+Booza+Williamsburg+Brooklyn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="863" data-original-width="1250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxFA3J8bMfot_F2aZbT7KbT2nrtmW30Dort6jV-RwTSsr0mlCrrZF1XGLx9-QGQIUN4Aear5FFDXChqpOzcVAcUglDjWTaHMFGxHYqn9wPOdz_j2oSDLVEew2FFlie2z6CUUdajTwSxmZ/s1600/Republic+of+Booza+Williamsburg+Brooklyn.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The employees there were extremely friendly and were more than happy to let us sample whichever flavors we wanted to try out. I tried so many flavors I lost track of which ones I really liked. But I'm a chocolate chip mint kinda gal so I decided to get the 'Mint Tahini Chip' on a waffle cone. It was delicious, and the one thing that stood out to me the most about this ice cream was that it didn't melt on me. Well it did melt a bit, but compared to all the ice cream on a cone I ever ordered? I could never eat ice cream without it melting all over, dripping onto my shoes and down my arms (the real reason why I always sadly get ice cream in a cup). The most this melted, was a tiny bit down my cone and after I licked it away I didn't experience much melting aha. I'm so impressed with this ice cream, and also really amused with it.<br />

If you're ever in Williamsburg, I totally recommend coming here and checking the place out. The ice cream truly won't dissappoint you, there are a ton of flavors to pick from. I hear they're also going to be launching even more unique flavors. The store opens tomorrow, June 17 - go check it out!

It's been a while since I wrote a blog post, which means there has been a ton of new makeup that I've accumulated. I must say that I have been on a no buy recently and I've actually been sticking to it. My collection is already big and when I was decluttering the other day I realized how much makeup I have that I barely touch. Usually whatever products I use daily is on my vanity, I've been learning to try to rotate some products so I can be sure to use everything in my collection. But during the month of May these products were being used everyday.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I purchased the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/L5uS">Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter - Dew You?</a> last year and lately I've been really into the glowy looking. I put this all over my face underneath my foundation. It makes me look really radiant and gives a healthy glow.<br />
<br />
The Tarte Shape tape concealer has been a huge part of my makeup routine for a while now, but the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/L5u3">YSL All Hours Concealer</a> is AMAZING. It blends so effortlessly and doesn't crease under my eyes at all. It products great coverage without looking or feeling heavy, I've gone through 2 of these already. This concealer is pricy but it's definitely worth every penny.<br />
<br />
This product has been around for a while and constantly talked about. The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/L5t5">MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Give Me Sun</a>! is a great bronzer, especially when my skin is tanned. It looks really natural and blends really well. I love having my bronzer show intensely on my face as well but with this bronzer I find that it's really pigmented and I don't have to build it up.<br />

Another favorite of mine has been the very hyped up <a href="https://kkwbeauty.com/products/kkw-x-mario-10-pan-eyeshadow-palette">KKW X Mario Eyeshadow Palette</a>. I love how Mario does makeup and I knew I needed this palette as soon as Kim posted about it. I have yet to touch the blue shade in the palette, but I may try to create looks with it in the summer. The eyeshadows blend really well, and I have gotten so many compliments whenever I wear it.<br />

I've been using Black Opium for a while now, and I recently got the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/L5xQ">YSL Black Opium Floral Shock</a>. It smells just as good as the original, but it has more of a floral scent to it. It's the perfect summer/spring scent. Whenever I wear this I notice that it lasts a long time on my skin too which is what I look for in a fragrance.<br />

So it's been a couple of months since I made a blog post, and to be quite honest - it was because I lost motivation. I was so busy with school and my internship that any free time I had, I preferred catching up on tv shows and hanging out with friends.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Did I miss blogging and taking pictures for instagram? Of course! But I was just lacking the motivation to do so. But I graduated from college 2 weeks ago (woohoo!) and now that I have free time on my hands I actually found the motivation I need to start blogging again. I realized that I was so focused and worried about the content/what I should be posting instead of what I want to actually be posting which made it not so fun for me. I am planning to change the direction of this blog. Instead of focusing only on beauty....I want to also expand content into other categories such as food reviews, fashion, and even some random blog posts such as "My current work out routine".<br />
<br />
For the month of June I have so many goals and I thought, why not make this my first post back.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Brainstorm some blog post ideas</li>
<li>Apply for more entry level jobs</li>
<li>Play around with editing photos</li>
<li>Take more photoshoot pictures for instagram</li>
<li>Organize my vanity</li>
<li>Read 3 books</li>
<li>Work out at least 3 times a week</li>
<li>Cut out junk food from my diet and start eating healthy</li>
<li>Put away my winter clothes</li>
<li>Make an excel spreadsheet with all colors of my single eyeshadows. I'm always losing track of what shades I actually have.</li>
</ol>
<div>
What are your goals for June?</div>

I bought so many products this year, and there was always the few products that I was constantly reaching for. These would be kept on my desk, and I found that I haven't been rotating my products often. So whatever I have included in this post, is basically what's on my desk everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>These products are truly what I consider my favorite beauty products of 2017 because of it's consistency, pigmentation, and how they wear on my skin. I've been really good at not buying much makeup lately because I feel like I have a really good collection with a variety of products.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXGn">Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer - Light</a> : I found that this eyeshadow primer really made a huge difference in the wear of my eyeshadow. It also allowed my eyeshadow to blend seamlessly compared to other primers that I've used in the past.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXGA">Tarte Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette</a> : As soon as I saw a preview of this in the summer I knew I had to have it. I'm in love with all these orange, red, brown shades. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXKK">Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette</a> : I used this palette on my birthday, for Thanksgiving, for Christmas, etc. This is a really great palette to own, and every time I wear colors from this palette I would get questions about it.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXHv">Stila Glitter & Glow - Smoky Storm</a> : I reach for this whenever I'm going to a party or I want something more dramatic. The glitter doesn't get everywhere, and it really adds a nice pop to my eyes.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXHD">Nastasha Denona Chroma Crytal Top Coat - Bronze</a> : This top coat is beautiful, it makes my eyeshadow look sparkly, and it shows up nicely in photos. I plan to purchase more colors soon.</li>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXIE">NARS NARSissist Wanted Eyeshadow Palette</a> : I don't have any NARS eyeshadows, and when I saw the colors in this palette I knew I needed it. I was shocked that I actually used the green eyeshadow, it isn't too out there and can still create a natural eye look.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXJL">Eyelure Vegas Nay Easy Elegance Lashes</a> : My favorite lashes by far! I always go through so many lashes and trying to find one that works the best for me, and these are definitely it.</li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXQT">Laura Geller Beauty 'Spackle' SPF 30 Protective Under Makeup Primer</a> : I had been in search of a good primer that had SPF, and a friend of mine recommended this to me. It doesn't make me breakout or oily which was really shocking. I use this everyday, even when I don't wear makeup. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXSi">Becca First Light Priming Filter Face Primer</a> : If I'm using my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ulK3">IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream</a>, I'll use this primer. It really hydrates my skin, and makes it feel really smooth.</li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXXe">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade - Dark Brown</a> : I started to get used to using this pomade now. I remember when I had it a few years ago, it was really difficult for me to use. But I use it everyday now and I find that it looks really natural.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXX4">Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara</a> : OBSESSED. It makes my lashes look very voluminous and long. I notice that it does flake a lot when I'm opening it, but it doesn't flake off my lashes which is the most important thing to take note of.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXV5">Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara</a> : This mascara also makes my lashes look amazing, and I'm obsessed with the applicator. I don't have to put on many coats.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXWC">Glossier Boy Brow - Black</a> : I've been using this to set my brows a lot, and it gives them a really nice look.</li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXZ1">Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation</a> : I was shocked at how much I used this foundation. I feel like there's barely anything left. Whenever I wear this, it feels like there's nothing on my face and I find that it doesn't transfer or oxidize. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tXZH">Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation</a> : This shade is now too dark for me, but I used it a lot in 2017 especially the summer. It isn't an uncomfortable matte, but I feel like with my super oily skin type it gives me a very natural finish.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX0e">Tarte Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Contour Concealer</a> : This is the best under eye concealer I ever used. A little goes a long way, it has amazing coverage. I will definitely repurchase.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX1O">NARS Soft Matte Concealer</a> : I am already running low on this. I use this to cover any blemishes, and on days that I don't wear foundation I find that it looks very natural.</li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX1Y">Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base</a> : I used this all throughout summer, especially when I went to the beach. It gave me a very natural touch of color, and it didn't wash off from the water. I like putting powder bronzer on top of this for an even more bronze look. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/t3Fy">Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer - Nude Bronze Light</a> : The formulation of the bronzers in this line is amazing. This is the second one I own, and it just looks amazing on my skin. I always get questions about my bronzer.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX0z">Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Blush - Birthday</a> : This was the birthday gift from Sephora, and I use this almost everyday.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX2p">Laura Geller Beauty 'Baked Gelator' Swirl Illuminator - Gilded Honey</a> : This highlighter truly makes me GLOW. I remember when I had a presentation in class once, and someone asked me what highlighter I was using afterwards because it was blinding. I mean, who doesn't want a blinding highlight?</li>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX0Q">Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 - Shea Butter</a> : I use this everyday before I apply any lip product. It nourishes my lips, and it has SPF which is the perfect combination.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX0W">Charlotte Tilbury 'Lip Cheat' Re-Size & Re-Shape Lip Liner - Iconic Nude</a> : It's the perfect nude. It goes with every/any nude lipstick I wear. It lasts a really long time.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX3i">MAC Lipstick - Honey Love</a> : I'm on my second lipstick of this, because I actually dropped my first one in the streets of New York which made me so upset. But I wear this anytime I go out, and I remember wearing it for my birthday party. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tX1f">Too Faced Lip Injection Glossy - Milkshake</a> : This makes my lips look soooo plump! I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but it's very glossy and I just love that look.</li>

In 2017 I decided that I really needed to simplify my skincare routine. I realized that I was just buying and buying, but not really using up everything I purchased. Having to throw away bad products and just see it go to waste made me realize how much money I spent. So towards the end of the year when I was running low on products, I wrote down a list of my skincare concerns and compared it to my Sephora cart. Did I really need to repurchase these items? Did I really need to try out this new cleanser?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It was a lot easier to narrow down a list of products I actually needed based off of what I had left in my collection. If I saw that I had too many cleansers, there clearly was no use for that many. If I saw that I was running low on moisturizer then that was something I needed to purchase.<br />

</span><br />
<u>Cleanser:</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/tePy">Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser</a> - I've gone through at least 4 of these already. This cleanser is really gentle and I feel like it would be great for all skin types. My skin is very sensitive and I find that I can really use this without worrying about getting any reactions. I also use this as a second cleanse after removing my makeup. I will definitely repurchase this since I'm running low.<br />
<br />
<u>Toner(s):</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/teQU">Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea Balancing Toner</a> - This was a newer purchase, and I got this because I'm a big fan of Herbivore. I find that their products really work well for me and I've tried their Rose face mist before which I loved. My skin has been breaking out and I find that this toner has really been helping with calming down any pimples. My sister has also been using this cleanser and loves it too.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/teRo">Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner </a>- Since the weather has been getting colder, my skin has been getting drier! I find that this toner is really gentle and my skin has not been patchy at all this winter. I used this toner a lot and it's been a new favorite of mine.<br />
<br />

<u>Eye Cream:</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/teUD">Pharmacy Dew It All Total Eye Cream with Echinacea GreenEvny</a> - This eye cream is really creamy and I noticed that it really smooths out my under eye area.<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te1s">Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb</a> - After getting a sample of this eye cream, I found that is moisturizing my eyelids and undereye so well. It really helps my makeup blend out seamlessly and my concealer as well, it really changed my makeup game.<br />
<br />
<u>Moisturizer:</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te0X">Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb</a> - I'm running out of this moisturizer as well, and I will definitely repurchase. I find that it gives me just the right amount of moisture without feeling or looking too greasy. I've gone through at least 3 of these in 2017.<br />

<u>Serums:</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te2P">Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil</a> - I've been using this serum at least 3 times a week, and my skin has really been looking good. The only thing I dislike is the scent, it smells very medicinal.<br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te4L">Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum</a> - This has lasted me for a while and I think it has helped my skin improve. I looked at previous pictures of me before using this and saw that my skin tone has really evened out.<br />

Whenever I have a bad break out and use this mask consistently, any pimples will be gone within a few days. It's also pretty gentle on my skin and a little lasts a long way.<br />

<u>Cleansing Balm:</u><br />
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te6Z">Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Celansing Balm with Echinacea GreenEnvy</a> - A friend of mine raved about this for a while and I didn't think it would be that good. I've used many cleansing balms in the past and found that it was a lot of work to use because I would always end up having to use micellar water afterwards to clean up any residue. But with this cleansing balm I found that I don't have that issue and when I clean my face with a cotton pad/toner afterwards, there isn't any remaining makeup on the face. This also doesn't dry out my skin which is a plus.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Glossier Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream)</span></div>
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/te7d">Glossier Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream</a> - I got this as a birthday gift from a friend of mine and I've been using it all the time since. It smells amazing and is really moisturizing. With my sensitive skin, most body creams would give me a rash or reaction, but I haven't experienced anything with this one!<br />

Pat McGrath's makeup line has been on my radar for a while now but I never got around to buying a kit because of the price. When I was at Sephora and saw this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/sFFk">Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLUST 007 kit,</a> I immiediately swatched the lip gloss and fell in love with how it looked. It was glittery and extremely glossy, I've been a fan of the glossy lips look lately instead of the matte.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The sequins inside the packaging is creative and buying this definitely made me feel like I was buying something limited edition. I wasn't a huge fan of the liquid lipstick color, but I mainly purchased this kit because of the lip gloss.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
I wish the lipgloss was in a different packaging, and had an applicator. Using my fingers to apply gloss just gets annoying, with the applicator I feel like it would be faster and neater. I really like the look of the gloss, since it makes my lips look plump and have a glass like finish. This gloss isn't sticky which is another plus, it's really hard to come by a lip gloss that doesn't feel tacky.<br />

The applicator of the liquid lipstick was really nice, I loved how flexible it was. It made it really easy for me to apply the liquid lipstick without any lip liner. It's a nice shade, and went well with my skin tone which surprised me. As for lasting power? I found that it lasted me about 3 hours, and after eating lunch it faded from the center of my lips so I looked crazy having liquid lipstick on the edges of my lips.<br />

I would definitely repurchase this kit because of the lip gloss. I hope Pat McGrath releases more similar glosses because I really do like the formula and color of it. As for the liquid lipstick, I'm not the biggest fan of the formula.<br />

So I had the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwgH">Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray</a> for almost a year now, and I still haven't run out of it. I think of it as my most luxurious hair care product. Yeah I have products from Dry Bar and Living Proof, but Oribe screams luxury to me. I also have good scent memories whenever I smell a product from Oribe.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This brand is definitely harder to get a hold of, it's more of a specialty salon item. You won't find Oribe products in Sephora or Macy's. Luckily for me, a friend/mentor of mine gifted me with a bunch of Oribe products. You really don't know how happy that made me! I've always wanted to venture out and try more Oribe products, but the price tag was something I was cautious about.<br />
<br />

<br />
So the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwgH">Dry Texturizing Spray (8.5 oz/$46) </a>was the first product that was introduced to me from the brand. I would see it constantly on Youtube and Instagram. Everyone would rave about this product and I've had it on my wishlist for years but didn't splurge on it until recently. This texturizing spray definitely makes a difference in my hair, it doesn't make it look crunchy or gross with product, but it gives me more volume and a messy look which I love. I also fell in love with this scent, it makes me feel so happy for some reason and whenever I do my hair in the morning and spray this on, it just puts me in a good mood.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwlU">Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil (3.3 oz/$55)</a> has really blown me away. I've been using my <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwms">Dry Bar 100 Proof Treatment Oil (3.4 oz/$36)</a> for a long time now and I love it so much, but this Oribe oil has really taken my hair to the next level. It smells just like the dry texturizing spray (definitely another reason for me to repurchase when I run out) and it makes my hair smooth without being sticky or greasy looking.<br />

(<span style="font-size: x-small;">Oribe <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Côte d'Azur Eau de Parfum Rollerball)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When my friend told me that there was a fragrance that smells like the dry texturizing spray, I think my jaw dropped. I am obsessed with the dry texturizing spray and I could probably spray it on my hair all day just to smell the scent. But knowing there's a fragrance for it, <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwoW">Côte d'Azur Ea de Parfum Rollerball (0.33oz/$32)</a>....I'm going to have to purchase the full size. I do wish that this rollerball was a spray instead, I just wanna spray it all over my body!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Oribe Lacquer High Shine Nail Polish - Night Orchid)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oribe's hair products are amazing, and I feel like most people do trust their products especially since they are used in many salons. I didn't know they had beauty products, their nail polish definitely looks unique compared to other nail polishes out in the market. The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwpe">Lacquer High Shine Nail Polish in Night Orchid (0.4oz/$32)</a> is pricy, but for the packaging and quality it's worth the price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Oribe Lacquer High Shine Nail Polish - Night Orchid)</span></div>
The brush is flat and it has a rounded tip which makes it much easier to apply. I noticed that one coat of nail polish is enough, it's very pigmented and definitely dries down true to color. I usually use Essie nail polishes and manage to get the polish all over my fingers, so I'm in love with this brush.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Oribe Lip Lust Crème Lipstick - Tropic Flame)</span></div>
This <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/qwum">Oribe Lip Lust Crème Lipstick (0.1oz/$42)</a> is gorgeous and the color is not your typical red. It definitely has an orange/red look to it which is more my style. I usually wear nude/mauve colors so this is out of my comfort zone, but I tried it on recently and loved how it looked on me. I know that I'll be wearing this during Christmas and New Years! The formula is really pigmented and I find that when wearing darker colors, you have to be cautious about it bleeding and transferring. Yes this transfers, but most lipsticks do. I noticed that after trying to rub this off, it won't come off completely unless I use a makeup remover which shows the lasting power of this lipstick.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Oribe Lip Lust Crème Lipstick - Tropic Flame)</span></div>
I really like the formula of this lipstick, and I really want to try out the other shades in this line as well. I don't see too many shades in their collection, but for the shades that they have, I think that it's definitely wearable and nothing too crazy or out there.<br />
<br />
Do you have any Oribe products?

So I may be really late on uploading this, but I'm still very into the fall makeup look. I had all of these products on my desk, and they have been a part of my everyday routine. I didn't include all the other necessities such as brow, mascara or setting power products just because it's the same for me year round. But the products that I am mentioning, I feel like they are definitely more suitable for fall and since I've been incorporating them into my daily makeup look, I decided that I need to share these products with you all.<br />

I'm pretty sure there isn't anybody who hasn't heard of the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pHXD">Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette</a>, I remember how much attention it got during the launch. I loved the colors, and was unsure of how it would look on me, but I wear this almost every single day now and constantly get compliments on my makeup. You can definitely create a more natural day time look, or a more smoky night time look. It's a very versatile palette, and you need this in your collection if you don't already have it.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Left to right: Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation & Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel)</span></div>
Matte foundations are a must in the fall, everything is all about that matte look. But I've been tired of the matte foundation look as I feel like it really ages my skin. Since I have oily skin, most foundations end up looking cakey on me by the end of the day which is truly annoying. My newest and favorite foundation currently is the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pHZL">Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation</a>, and I've been mixing it with the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pHZt">Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel in Dew You?</a> which is a really nice combination. The Marc Jacobs dew drops doesn't make me look glittery or shimmery, but it just gives a really nice glow to my skin even when mixed in with the foundation.<br />

Anyone who knows me, will know that I'm really into the heavy bronzer look. I mean, I feel like it looks good on me so that's why I like wearing it that way. But the <a href="https://www.esteelauder.com/product/631/41148/product-catalog/makeup/the-barest/bronzer#/shade/Medium-Deep">Estee Edit The Barest Bronzer in Light/Medium</a> is such a good bronzer, it blends effortlessly and I love the color of it. One of my new favorite highlighters are Dose of Colors Desi x Katy Fuego, it looks so natural on the skin and really is blinding. I always get compliments on my highlighter, and when I do, then I know that it's a really good highlight. The blush is from the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pH2U">Sephora Birthday Gift Tarte Set</a>, it's in the shade 'Birthday' and I love how natural this color is. It goes with a heavy makeup look, or a very natural one.<br />

<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pH4p">Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow</a> is such a pretty shade for the fall, and I always reach for this in the fall/winter. It also goes well with the Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow palette too which is a plus in my book. I like that formula isn't too drying on my lips, and it doesn't wipe off after having lunch.<br />

I had so much on my <a href="http://www.perfectshadeofmauve.com/2017/11/my-sephora-vib-wishlist.html">wishlist</a> this year and I did end up picking up a few of the items from there, but I also ended up buying more than I needed. I don't know the amount I spent this year and I don't plan on checking because I'll be really upset after I calculate all of that. But I'm really happy with everything I purchased this year, I'm still waiting on a package that has yet to ship yet.<br />

<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n2Dp">Huda Beauty Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette - Warm Brown ($27)</a>: This was an unexpected purchase, but this is also a really good palette and the shades in this reminds me of the Morphe 35O palette. </li>

<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n2KS">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade - Dark Brown ($18)</a>: I have this in ebony and it was drying out. Dark brown seems like a better match and I definitely like using this pomade more than the pencils.</li>

I have a love-hate relationship with the Sephora VIB sale. I love getting 20% off but I hate spending money. The sale for VIB Rouge started November 3 and is ending tomorrow, November 6. But this year, VIB Rouge actually gets 2 chances to participate in the sale! On November 10-15, VIB Rouge and VIB insiders get 20%, while Beauty Insiders get 15% off. There's a lot on my list, but I decided to narrow it down to things that I've been wanting for a long time, or some things that I really need.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Since I'll be getting 20% off I decided that I should get some things that I've been wanting to purchase and waited for this particular sale to get. If I'm going to get a discount, I might as well try it now.<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtbu">Natasha Denona Chroma Crystal Top Coat (Nude) $28</a> - I saw this being used in a few youtube tutorials and it's such a pretty shimmer shade. I've been really into glittery eyeshadow looks lately, and since all the holidays are coming up I might as well be adventurous with my makeup looks.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtbV">Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette (Scandalust) $49</a> - This was also on my birthday wishlist, but I didn't buy it because it's an expensive eyeshadow palette! I know I have a billion shades just like this, but I never tried a Marc Jacobs eyeshadow product before.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtcF">Tarte Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette $46</a> - The colors itself explain why I need this palette.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtdv">Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation $40</a> - I'm always searching for new foundations, and I hear a lot of hype surrounding this one.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtea">Sunday Riley U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil $80</a> - This has been on my wishlist for so long, but I couldn't justify spending $80 on an oil that might not even work. I've had a few samples of this, and I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I love Sunday Riley products.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ms7j">Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm with Echinacea GreenEnvy $34</a> - A friend of mine has been raving about this, and I love my micellar water but sometimes it leaves my face feeling dry. Since the weather is getting cold, I figure this would be a nice addition to my skincare routine.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mthh">Youth To The People Fresh Pressed Superfood Skin Kit $54</a> - Skincare has been really important to me, and I see a lot of great reviews on these products. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtil">Herbivore Blue Tansy AHA+ BHA Resurfacing Clarity Mask $48</a> - Whenever I have breakouts I use the tiny sample of this mask I have, and it really helps keep my skin calm. With 20% off I can finally get a full size.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtiC">Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea Balancing Toner $39</a> - I've been out of toner for a while and I love this brand. It sounds like it would be great for my blemish prone skin.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mtgw">Ouai Smooth Spray $26</a> - I have a lot of flyaways and have been searching for a product that targets that concern. This sounds like it would help me with my flyaways so I really want to give it a try.</li>

I had a great birthday and it was really nice spending time with my family and friends. Of course I didn't really expect much when it came to gift giving, but I'm going to assume that people actually did read my <a href="http://www.perfectshadeofmauve.com/2017/10/my-birthday-wishlist.html">wishlist</a>! Even though I had a lot of products listed on my post, I didn't think anyone would actually go out of their way to get me something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm grateful for everything that I received, and even more grateful for my friends & family celebrating my birthday with me. I did get a few gift cards and I'm waiting for some orders to come in, and of course I did buy myself some goodies.</div>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/l2eG">Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette:</a> I've been wanting this palette ever since I saw a bunch of tutorials on Youtube. I love the pressed pearl shadows.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/l2ez">Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Stick Eyeshadow - Frannie:</a> This cream eyeshadow stick has a very cooling effect. This color is a mix of silver/white, and it looks really nice as an inner corner highlight.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/l2d9">Stila Written In The Stars Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow Set:</a> I've been wanting to try these liquid eyeshadows for the longest time but I knew I could never finish a full product. This set is perfect for trying out all three shades. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/l2fV">Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - Vanilla Quartz:</a> Becca has some of the best formulations for highlighters, and I'm obsessed with this shade. I feel like it has a slight pink tone to it.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/l2g0">Glossier Boy Brow- Black:</a> I love how this makes my eyebrows look. I'll wear it by itself or on top my my filled in brows.</li>

I am someone who loves trying out new foundations, only because my skin tends to always change how it reacts with a foundation. When I saw this line I was so excited because of the color range, and because it's a matte foundation. I love the fenty highlighters (<a href="http://www.perfectshadeofmauve.com/2017/09/fenty-beauty-killawatt-freestyle.html">read that blog post here</a>) and I was hoping that I'd love the foundation as well.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I think the foundation shade matches me well, and I actually don't find it oxidizing on me like other people have mentioned when using this foundation. The only issue I'm having with this foundation is how it sets on my face. I find that it makes me look a bit cakey, and I've tried switching up primers and setting powders and I still have the same cakey effect. I have oily skin so I really thought this foundation would pair well with my skin.<br />

I'm still giving this foundation a try and I've been mixing it with other foundations to see if I get a less cakey appearance, but it hasn't really been helping me. I personally think that it has to do with skin type, because my friends with dry to combo skin love this foundation. Will I return this foundation? Probably. I really wish it worked better with my skin since I love the packaging and Rihanna.</div>

It's almost that time of the year again, that time when I turn another year older. I'm not someone who particularly likes celebrating my birthday. Most of the time I'll keep my actual birthday a secret and let people know it was my birthday a few days later. But this year, I'm actually going to celebrate my birthday with some friends whereas in the previous years I always celebrated with my family only. Every year I have family and friends ask me what I want for my birthday and I never know what to say so I put together a list of things that is in my cart from various stores.<br />

I really don't expect anyone to get me any of these because they are pretty pricy, and I appreciate any gift. But these are just a few things that I've been eyeing for a while and would probably purchase for myself for Christmas if I don't get them for my birthday.<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i2ua">Huda Beauty: </a><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i2ua">Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette</a> & <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i2rN">Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette</a>. I've been wanting the rose gold palette for a while now and it's constantly sold out. I really like most of the shades in the palette, and the metallic shades look beautiful. The desert dusk palette released not too long ago, but I've been some tutorials and there were some really pretty looks created with this palette. </li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i2va">Tom Ford Cream Color For Eyes - 01 Platinum </a>: I'm trying to get into cream eyeshadows more, and this shade looks beautiful. The swatches look beautiful, and I know that I'll be getting a lot of use out of this.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i2vF">Stila Written In The Stars Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow Set</a> : These liquid eyeshadows have been on my wish list for a while, and when I saw this kit I knew I had to have it. There are three shades in it, Diamond Dust, Kitten Karma, and Smoky Storm. I like that they are miniature sizes, because I wouldn't be able to finish up a full sized.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5VM">NARS Eyeshadow Duo - Isolde</a>: This has been something I've been wanting to get since I was in high school, I just couldn't get myself to spend $36 on two eyeshadows though.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5Xr">Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector - Vanilla Quartz</a>: I love Becca highlighters and this shade looks really pretty, I always love getting new highlighters.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5XJ">NARS Bord De Plage Highlighting and Bronzing Palette</a>: I love the packaging and all the shades in this, I swatched this at Sephora the other day and fell in love.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5Zj">MILK MAKEUP - The A-Team</a>: I don't own any MILK products, but this set seems amazing. I want to try a bunch of their products but never got the chance to buy any of it, this set will allow me to try out a lot of their popular products in mini sizes.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5YS">Too Faced Lip Injection Glossy - Spice Girl</a>: I have this in the shade Milkshade and I love the formula of it. Does it make my lips look bigger? I can't really tell, but I love the super glossy look that it gives my lips without that sticky feeling.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i5ZL">IGK Expensive Amla Oil Hi-Shine Topcoat</a>: My hair needs more shine to it and I've heard great things about this product, I never tried anything from IGK but this seems like the first product I need to try from them.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i50n">Gucci Bloom Eau De Parfum</a>: This smells amazing, and kind of reminds me of the Juicy Couture fragrance but with a more grown up scent. I love fragrances and have so many of them that my collection just keeps on growing.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i50x">Diptyque Vanille Scented Candle</a>: I LOVE Diptyque candles and I have yet to purchase this scent. I've used almost every single candle from the brand, but have yet to purchase this. I love vanilla scented products, and I'm sure I'll love having this addition.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/i504">Tempur-Pedic Windsock Slipper</a>: OH MY GOSH. I've been wanting to purchase another pair since the day I ruined mine. It's been a few months without these slippers and I have to repurchase. It's so comfortable, and I am one of those people who has to wear slippers around the house.</li>
<li><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/jkkU">Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette - Scandalust</a>: Ever since I saw this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZt8p-XAExW/?taken-by=hungvanngo">picture of Em Ratajkowski</a> on Hung Vanngo's instagram and he said he used this palette, I wanted it. It's such a beautiful eye look and it looks really pigmented. </li>
<li><a href="https://doseofcolors.com/collections/desi-x-katy/products/over-the-top">Dose of Colors Desi x Katy - Over The Top Gloss</a>: This collection keeps on getting sold out, but I've been wanting this gloss since they announced the collection. I hope it gets restocked soon because I need this gloss in my life.</li>

I was so excited for Rihanna's makeup line to launch, I actually stayed up till 12 am waiting for it to release...only to find out that it wouldn't be released until 3 am. But the next morning I purchased these products right away since I knew they were what I would use the most. I always love buying highlighters from a brand before diving into their other products, and I loved the shade of the lip gloss so I knew I had to give it a try.</div>

The packaging for Fenty Beauty is really simple, sleek and edgy. I love the hexagon shape, it's different than all the other brands and the clean white and pink packaging is so my style. It's made of a smooth plastic type material, so there won't be any finger print markings on there. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
I was torn between a few highlighter shades, but finally decided on one that looks least like the other highlighters I own in my collection. The <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/iooa">Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby</a> ($34/0.24oz) was what I decided on, and the day I received it in the mail....I knew I was going to become obsessed. Mean money seems to be more of an everyday subtle highlighter, it has a sheen to it but definitely won't give you that blinding highlight. I like to mix the two shades together to get the perfect glow, I even wore this to work and someone told me that my highlight looked extra glowy and metallic that day.

Packaging wise, I loved that the hexagon theme was constant with most of the products. This <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/iooX">Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer</a> ($18/0.30oz) is tiny and I love the shade of it. There is only one shade which is why I'm assuming it has universal in its name. I was really looking forward to buying this gloss since I've been using lip gloss all the time now. The formula isn't sticky, but I don't see anything special about it. I have many lip glosses that look similar in color, and the texture of this lip gloss seems to never dry down. After entering a building from outside, I'll notice that the lip gloss is on some areas of my face due to my hair touching it and then flying all over my face from the wind. Compared to my other lip glosses, this is the only one that seems to cause me that issue.<br />

I am obsessed with the doe-foot applicator for this gloss. I find that it applies just the right amount of gloss onto my lips and I'm really satisfied with that. The lip gloss has a nice smell to it, but I find that I can often taste the lip gloss which doesn't happen for me with other glosses.<br />

Overall, I think that Fenty Beauty is worth checking out. If you love highlighting your face, then you need the Killawat freestyle highlighter. I've already helped 3 people of my friends pick out highlighters from this collection that suits their skin tone, and they've all become obsessed with how it looks. As for the lip gloss, I don't think it's a necessary purchase but if you're a fan of the color then I'd say to go for it.<br />

Did you buy anything from Fenty Beauty?<br />
