Beauty Tip: Perfect brows in 1/2 the time

I haven't done a Beauty Tip in quite a while and I figured it was long overdue! I've recently come up with a new way of doing my brows and I really enjoy it. I thought I'd share since it has saved me a little bit of time in getting ready. It's a super simple tip but I thought I'd share it anyways!

Instead of applying a tinted brow gel or creamy brow product and then applying a powder to set it, apply it all in 1 step! I like to dip my angled brush in the left side of the e.l.f. brow kit (tinted wax) and then dip it into my favorite eyeshadow shade for brows. This makes the brows more defined than just using  a powder but less harsh than using a wax and a powder separately.

Left: Just brow powder

Center: Just tinted wax

Right: Both mixed together

I hope this was helpful, enjoy your morning/day/night!

Baby Lips Limited Edition Buds

So, I was shopping at Walmart the other day, and I came across a new Baby Lips display! Of course, I could not pass it up. When I scanned it, it only came up as $6 so that gave me even more reason to buy it. The whole display only had this 1 set with 2 limited edition spring shades. i really like them both and I really wanted to share them with you. I would definitely recommend checking your local Walmart or drugstore to try to find these.

The packaging is amazing! The colors are all so Spring-like and they go together perfectly.

 The two shades are Oh Orchid! and Petal Rebel.

 Oh Orchid! is more of a purple toned pink and Petal Rebel had a coral tone to it. I prefer Petal Rebel sine it's more wearable for me.

I found these to be just as moisturizing and regular Baby Lips. I've noticed all of the new Baby Lips have way less scent. These a have a slight sweet scent but it's not really noticeable.

Swatched, Oh Orchid! on the left, and Petal Rebel on the right. 

 Oh Orchid!

 

Petal Rebel

I really love both shades and can see myself getting lots of use out of them this Spring!

RATINGS:

Color payoff: 9/10 pretty good for sheer balms

Moisture: 9/10

Price: 9/10

Lasting Power: 8/10
Scent: 7/10
Would I repurchase?: Yes!

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss ~ Hot Shot

Hello there! Today I thought I'd share a review of a gloss I got on Boxing Day last year! it the Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in the shade Hot Shot. It's a very beautiful color and it's a great sized gloss!

To be quite honest, I didn't really like this gloss. I don't think it was plumping, but it felt very tingly and minty which I really didn't enjoy. The color was alright but I really couldn't get over the feeling. it didn't go away either. As long as a wore it, my lips felt tingly and minty. To me, that was very uncomfortable and completely turned me off of the gloss. It was also quite sticky which I also do not enjoy. my lips were sticking together and my hair was getting all caught up in the gloss. The only things this gloss had to offer was the color and I already have another lip gloss with a very similar shade. I bought this on Boxing Day ads one of the $12 or so deals. I gave the blush from the set to my Mum and she said she did not like it either. Oh well, I'm glad a tried it in a set rather than wasting $25 on it full price.

I'm not saying this is a bad lip gloss, this is just my personal opinions. I know some people may really enjoy tingly, sticky glosses and if so, this would be perfect!

The packaging is very pretty and classic and the wand applicator is oddly long. Although the length gives nice application. I noticed this lip gloss also gave off a really high shine which looked really pretty. For a gloss it gave a fairly good color payoff on the lips. It was a nice sheer coral.
