Swatch and Review: Sephora Double Contouring Cream Blush in Apricot Sheen & Coral Flush

I've been in a bit of a blush craze lately. Recently, I went out and purchased Sephora's cream blushes in Apricot Sheen and Coral Flush that were on clearance for $7 (previously $16). I intended to get Golden Spice, but I couldn't find it and settled on Apricot Sheen, which is gorgeous as well.

Sephora calls these Double Contouring Cream Blushes, but the colors are way too warm to be used as contouring. In any case, the colors are gorgeous and the texture is unique and easy to use.

Swatch and Review: Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette

My first S & R for eye products! I only have one eyeshadow palette that I use, and that is UD's Naked palette which I got for Christmas from my sister a few years back. I'm such an amateur when it comes to eye makeup that I use at most 4-5 of the colors in my Naked palette.

I feel like my lack of variety stems from the amount of shimmer in the Naked palette. There's only so many days I can wear shimmery, glittery eyeshadow and still feel like a grown up. I decided to invest in an all-matte palette, KVD's Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette ($46). I'm a huge fan of KVD's products, and her eyeshadow palette is everything that I could ever possibly want or need in matte eyeshadows.

Swatch and Review: Too Faced Soul Mates Blushing Bronzer in Carrie & Big

I've been in dire need of blush and bronzer for awhile now, and I stopped by my local Nordstrom Rack since they always have great deals on high end makeup products. While I was there, I was debating between a Smashbox blush and this Too Faced Soul Mates Blushing Bronzer duo ($34). I ended up getting Too Faced because it is so much more user-friendly than the Smashbox blush I was looking at.

Swatch and Review: #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder

I did it. I finally succumbed to buying a contouring product, even though the trend has pretty much simmered down and has been replaced with dewy highlighting/strobing. Nevertheless, I've been eyeing Marc Jacobs' contouring powder for ages now. And by ages, it's probably only been a few weeks of me pining every time I walked by Sephora. But I finally got it!
