Sexy Mama the Balm Anti-Shine Translucent Powder

Hey guys I wanted to talk to you a little bit today about this product I picked up recently. I have a ton of foundation setting powders but I was looking for something smallish that I can carry around in my purse to touch up during the day that wasn't going to add more coverage than what I already had on.
I decided to get this guy and it's pretty cool.

This is .25oz
and retails for $20 I purchased mine online, click here to check it out.

It's claims:
Powder your face without a trace. This sexy formula uses revolutionary, tiny, oil-absorbing spheres to remove dreaded shine, leaving you with a soft, matte finish.

Let me start off by saying that not all translucent powders are the same especially for medium skin tones like mine. Some leave a white powdery finish and some can cake up your makeup. This does neither so yay! I love how tiny it is so it's a perfect on the go powder!


I've used this with BB creams, with liquid foundations and even on bare skin and it does a fabulous job at making my skin matte.  It goes on Light and evenly.

Well guys if you are looking for a good setting powder or translucent powder here is a good suggestion.

Doesn't the Balm always have the cutest packaging?
OK guys thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a fantastic week!

Ipsy January 2016

Hey guys so today I am going to show you what I got in this months Ipsy bag!

Let's start with this Ofra Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow pencil

 I am really looking forward to trying this. The color looks pretty good.















Next up is theBalm Cosmetics Mr. Write (Now) in color deep purple

This is the only product that I used so far and I really like it. It stayed in my water line and under my eye all day without smudging. I'm so glad I got this!













Next is the Skone Cosmetics Smudger Brush

I love getting brushes SO much! I can't wait to see if I like this one. So far Ipsy hasn't disappointed with the brushes I've received in the past. So here's to hoping.













Next is the Hikari Cosmetics Cream Metallic Pigment Shadow
I've only swatched this but OMG so so pretty! I am way excited to create fun looks with this little guy.














Lastly I have the Lasting Smiles Lip Balm in Peppermint Creme

Honestly this is my least favorite product to get in my ipsy bag. I have already given this away to one of my sisters. I get and have so many lip balms that I didn't care for this one at all.













This is everything I got this month guys. I will only be keeping ipsy for one more month. I have ran my course with it and February will be my last month until I cancel it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Ipsy October 2015

Hey loves hope all is well I got my ipsy bag pretty early this month, I am pretty excited about that. I am actually really liking most of my products too!

Let's start with the MicaBeauty cream eye shadow in Bronze

 

This is such a beautiful shade, it reminds me a lot of the Colour Pop shade "Kathleen Lights". I am pretty excited with this shade, it is gorgeous. I wore this shade the day I got it and for the entire weekend just because it was new and because it's the perfect fall shade. It lasted a long time and didn't crease, so kudos to MicaBeauty.

Moving on we have the Lavanilla Laboratories

This mini roller ball fragrance is very beautiful. I am a huge lover of the vanilla scent anyways so I knew I would like this. It warm and rich, it lasted all day on me (which is rare).

Next up we have the Ayres Sunrise Hand Cream

This one is a dud for me guys. I don't like the smell or the film it seems to leave behind, it was just not for me. Not at all a fan.

Next up, the Emite Make Up Tweezers

So I actually really liked these tweezers I like that they are angled and that they came in there own little container so that I can throw them in my purse and have them on the go. I like the way they performed. Great little tool.

OK to finish off we have theBalm Cosmetics Meet Matt(e) Hughes

This is my favorite product in this months bag. I love the shade, the texture and overall the lasting power. I love long lasting lipsticks and this one is a great mini addition to my collection.
Here is a snapchat picture I posted of me wearing it.

This is in the shade Committed. I love everything about this liquid lippie :). Follow me on snapchat for more silliness user name: daysio

 Those are all my goodies for this month. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Much Love,

Favorite Fall Palettes

Hey guys so as a beauty lover I have accumulated a few palettes along the way. I love all of my palettes and use them often. I wanted to share some of my favorite palettes for the fall/winter time. When I think of fall I immediately think of warm tones, don't you?
So here I have a combination of older, newer and unfortunately some limited edition discontinued palettes.
These are some of my favorites. Lets start with the Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette:

I love that this palette offers all matte colors. This has amazing shades and is super easy to travel with. You have 9 big eye shadows with great color payoff and a variation of warm, cool and neutral shades. 

Next up is the Kat Von D Monarch Palette:

Let me start out by saying that Kat Von D knows her stuff, she is quickly becoming an obsession of mine! This isn't my only Kat Von D palette but it is my only fall favorite one. The quality of her shadows are amazing and they last forever. You get 12 shades in this palette and it truly is beautiful!

Now let's talk Too Faced Chocolate Bar:

This original chocolate bar is amazing in every aspect. I own the semi-sweet too but this one is by far my favorite of the two. This has beautiful colors and it smells amazing! Perfect Fall palette for sure!
This palette offers you 16 shades total. All rich in color payoff and phenomenal lasting power.

Ok this next one is the Morphe Colab with Jaclyn Hill: (unfortunately no longer available)

This is such a beautiful palette, seriously you guys all I have to say is Jaclyn is amazing and knows her stuff. She put me onto Morphe and I love their eye shadows and brushes. These are such beautiful shadows. 28 shadows total. They don't sale the palette anymore but you can buy these individually.

Somehow I am sure you all expected an Urban Decay Palette listed somewhere, well I have one and it's the newish amazing Naked Smoky Palette!

I think this is one of my favorite all time palettes! No joke it is gorgeous. I have created so many fabulous eye looks with this little jem! This offers 12 shades that are perfect and compliment each other so beautifully.

The next one is a more affordable palette, it's the Revealed 2 by Coastal Scents:

This palette is great, especially the price point. The colors are beautiful and they offer good color payoff. There is very little fall out and just a tad bit powdery but nothing bad, trust me. This includes 20 beautiful shades.

Last but certainly not least is the bhcosmetics It's Judy Time Palette: (Also no longer available)

So this palette is a colab with another YouTuber, Judy and it offers 12 lovely eyes shadows. This was also very affordable and the colors are beautiful. They are so rich in pigmentation with little to no fall out at all.

OK guys these are my Fall Favorite Palettes!
I hope you have enjoyed my little post. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a kick ass day!
