St Tropez Self Tan Express and In Shower Tanning Lotion Review

Hey guys!! I am super excited to review this one, I have wanted to try it for ages and I finally splurged a little and got it! Lets begin with: St. Tropez Self Tan Express: I am LOVING THIS. I really appreciate that it only takes an hour for a little color and only 3 for a decent change.  I also love that it has a base color so I do not miss spots and can see what I have done and need to do. This goes on really well, no streakiness at all and it is a nice golden color, not at all orangey. It also seems to last ages, like I have used it numerous times and it is still going strong, doesn't seem empty at all. It also does not have a bad scent, the scent is fairly mild in my opinion. I am not sure this is something I will always be able to get every time but when I can afford it I will definately be getting this one again! St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower: Ok so I have mixed feeling on this one...On the one hand, a light tan in 3 minutes is great, on the other hand I have trouble know...

URBAN DECAY Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator Foundation Review

Hey guys!! So this one was a kinda on a whim purchase for me, I was looking around ultas website and new I wanted a foundation for the summer and new I like Urban Decay so I picked this up. It looked pretty and I like almost everything I have ever gotten from UD so I was like let's try it out. I really really like this, it is a little more full coverage than I expected but honestly I don't mind because it is still super light weight and a little goes a long way. My favorite way to apply when I want it thinner is with my damp beauty blender, if I want fuller coverage I use my hands to apply. This stays put really well and blends out beautifully, I haven't had any patchy spots or areas it built up at all. This creates a really good base for my powder products and doesn't budge (sometimes I find adding pressed powder can make certain types of foundation kinda cover less). This is not a matte finish but adding powder can make it more matte if you prefer that, I would say th...

Ulta Beauty Lip Liner Pencil Review (Bittersweet)

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing a Ulta Lip liner. This one is in Bittersweet. I really don't own lip liners. I probably should but I never feel the need to use them. I did however decide to try this because it does kinda go with some of my lipstick colors. It goes on very easily and its very pigmented. It actually outlasts my lipstick and stays on all day long. I do find the line can be a bit harsh because it is so pigmented but a little blending and the right matching color fixes that. So will I buy more lip liners? Eh, but it is fun to test new things so I do like having a few.

Ulta Beauty Mattifying Face Primer Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Mattifying Face Primer. This has a very greasy feeling formula, it reminds me of the  Gimme Good Face  primer I loved. It doesn't make my skin look greasy and dries down really fast. It blends in nicely and a little goes along way. I do think it helps my foundation last a bit, but the foundation I am currently using does pretty well on its own as well. I think it will help more in the summer as that's when I have more issues due to the heat. I don't really think this makes it anymore matte though, it looks about the same to me. If you need a cheaper primer option I do like this.

Ulta Beauty Blush Brush Review

Today I am reviewing the Ulta Blush Brush. What is there really to say about a brush? I don't review brushes often anymore as there is only so much to say unless the design is just super cute. This brush works well, it picks up enough product. It doesn't shed either which is good. So yeah, it works very well. lol Do any other bloggers feel this way about reviewing brushes?

Ulta Beaty Juice Infused Lip Oil Review

Hey guys!! Today I am going to be reviewing the Ulta Beauty Juice infused lip oils.  I have 2 of them, other than the smell they work basically the same. They, being oils, make your lips quite greasy at first but once they start to soak in they make your lips pretty smooth and moisturized. They have no color of there own so they go well over or under other lip colors. I don't have any issues for the most part using lip colors over this if I let it soak in a little first. And obviously over a color it will act as a gloss if you add it.  If you want a good moisturizer for your lips this works quite well :)

Ulta Beauty You Make Me Blush Blush and Bronzer Palette Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta you make me Blush Palette. This is a nice basic palette. The colors are pretty pigmented, but very buildable which I appreciate especially with bronzer. The bronzer gives a nice contour while the blush gives a nice more subtle pinky flush.  I don't know that I like this more than my Hoola bronzer but it is one of my top 3 now. The blush I like but I still don't prefer pinky shades on myself. I have definately been reaching for this a lot lately.

Ulta Beauty Tinted Eye Primer Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Tinted Eye Primer. So I like how this goes on, it goes on smoothly and dries pretty quickly. As far as whether or not I get creasing on my eyeshadow with this, yes I still get some creasing. That being said there are lots of times I will get creasing with more expensive products as well. I think I get less creasing with it than without though. My shadow on the lid area looks fine, it's just literally though my crease you can see it, so basically only if my eyes are closed. As I am used to this I won't blame this product and think it's still a good product, I do wish I would find one that totally prevents this though.

Ulta Beauty Illuminating Sheer Radiant Beauty Powder Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Illuminating Sheer Radiant Powder. I love highlighters if you don't know that so I am always excited to try new ones. I really like the shade of this, it is a very glowy warm shade. It adds a really nice glow to a bronzey summery look. It also has really good lasting power and is quite pigmented. I would definately recommend it, I have been using it a lot since getting it. It's currently one of my most used highlighters  :)

Ulta Beauty Brow Shaping Gel Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Brow Shaping Gel. Now if you guys watch my tutorials you might have noticed I really don't touch my brows. Therefor I wasn't so sure about this even though it is clear. I guess it works? I don't really have issues most days with my brows being crazy, but it does keep them down I guess... Idk guys I don't think I would buy this on my own just because I don't see the point, if you do, more power to you. I will use this till I use it up just because I have it, but I am not gonna pretend I feel like I need it.

Ulta Beauty Amped Lashes Volumizing + Defining Mascara Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Beauty Amped Lashes Volumizing Mascara. I quite like this. It makes my lashes look nice and long. I do wish it made them look fuller, but other than that I really like this. My favorite part is how quickly it dries down, it makes completing my makeup and curling my lashes so much easier and less messy. I can't say for sure how water proof this is, but I know it is at least somewhat. I still wouldn't recommend trying to wear it to swim, but I think if you cried you could get away with it not running.

Ulta Beauty Lipstick Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing a Ulta Lipstick. I really don't own a lot of nude colors so I was kinda excited to get a nudey color. This actually ends up being pretty close to my normal lip color, but in this I like that. It looks very professional and put together and I think it works great for work. I also like it with alot of different looks and feel like it is much easier to work around it vs a bright color. I still love my reds and pinks, but this definately has a new place in my collection.

Ulta Beauty Liquid Illuminator Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Liquid Illuminator. I love highlighters and I have only tried one other liquid one, which I loved, so I was excited to try this. It scared me when I first squeezed some out because it is very pink. Once you blend it in it gives you a nice romantic kinda glow that is actually very pretty. Now personally I still prefer more bronzy glow ones, but this looks lovely and I think it works very well with some looks. It blends well and it lasts all day for me.

Ulta Beauty Gel Eyeliner in Black Out Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Gel Eyeliner in Black Out. This eyeliner is a great idea, I like the tip and application is pretty easy as it is kinda like a pencil, but softer and smoother. However the formula reminds me of some of my first eyeliners and ended up transferring to my eyelid/crease area throughout the day. This is not a issue I have had in years so I really think this formula needs some work.  If I could avoid that everything else is great but that isn't worth the easiness to me.
