Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eye Shadow Palette Review & Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I will be swatching and reviewing The Blushed Nudes Eye Shadow Palette by Maybelline.

Packaging & Shade Range

You are receiving 12 shades in total and only 1 shade is matte - the rest are shimmer shadows. It claims to be infused with rose gold pigments. They claim on the back of the palette that there are 13 looks in this palette that you can create and they even give you some colour combinations to try-out on yourself. It does come with an applicator which I will never use. The packaging is a nice rose gold metallic finish and the centre part is clear allowing you to see the shadows. 

Swatches

When swatched, the first shade (top left) was softer than the next two shades. The matte shade performed better than I thought it would and the last shade in the row was the most pigmented to my surprise. The top 4 shades when swatched, look very similar and the final two in that top row stand out to me. The first shade on the bottom row to the left is a nice rose gold shade but the brown right beside it was the worst shade in the entire palette. It was patchy, streaky and I wouldn't even try to use it. The third shade on the bottom row looked like a taupe shade but the shimmer was not as vibrant as the rose gold shade or the shade before it. The third last shade in the row reminded me of the same formula from the very first swatch that I had swatched as it was soft. The second last shade had to be built up and the last shade was just a deep shade with rose glitter particles in it.

Keep in mind that I had to build up these shades quite a bit and I couldn't just do one swatch using my fingers of each shade or else, you wouldn't be able to see the colours - especially the first 4 shades. Just for reference: one shade in particular, I had to go over 10 times when I was finger swatching it and then I stopped building it up because I was over it. These shades are very inconsistent in my opinion. These swatches were taken in natural lighting and I have not adjusted the brightness in either photo. The photo above was taken outside and the one below was of course, taken inside.

Where To Buy & Price Point

You can pretty much find this at any drugstore and they even sell it in the beauty section at various grocery stores. This definitely ranges in price depending on where you purchase it from but typically, it ranges from $10-$20. You are getting 9.6 grams of product in total or 0.34 oz. There are also different palettes with different themes that Maybelline has created.

Is It Worth Your Money?

I want to mention that the photos that I have seen online of this palette are very inconsistent and each one looks different. I urge you to check out the palette in person and perhaps swatch it for yourself if there is a tester available. I know that people were comparing it to the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette but there really is no comparison because the Naked 3 wins by a land slide. These honestly could have been more pigmented and if you love matte eyeshadows then definitely skip this palette. I would say to save your money and put it towards a more worthwhile palette.

Update: This palette has since been returned due to the quality of the shadows.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Review

Hey everyone! I recently picked up the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation from the L'Oreal Warehouse Sale and I wanted to put it to the test!

Packaging
This is a nice sleek bottle with a clear top and a pump which I really do appreciate. I do love the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation but I hate that you have to pour it out of the bottle and that it doesn't come with a pump. Of course you can add one on but it's much easier it the product already comes with a pump. There is a clear cap that protects the blue pump which is both good and bad. It is great because it works well with the design but isn't so good when you can see the leftover foundation all on the cap as well as on the pump. 

The Claims
This claims to be for all skin types and that it is medium to full coverage. It also says that it gives an all-day, flawless coverage and gives you better looking skin in 3 weeks. It is described to be an oil-free, long wearing foundation that helps your skin look better the longer that you actually wear this foundation. Inside the formula is an antioxidant called Actyl C which is a more stable form of Vitamin C because most of us know that Vitamin C in topical forms is not very stable. It is supposed to help reduce the appearance of any: redness, dullness, spots and bumps on the face. Overall, using this foundation will give you brighter, more even and smoother skin.

Shades & Price
I purchased mine in the shade Classic Ivory #20. There are 14 shades to choose from but as for the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, there are 24 shades in total. Furthermore, the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation offers 16 shades and the Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation Stick has a total of 8 shades. Since I purchased my bottle at a Warehouse Sale, I only paid $4 for it. It retails on the Ulta web site for $11.99 USD and you are getting 30 ml or 1 fl oz of product.

How It Wore Throughout The Day
Originally, I applied 2 layers of the foundation onto my skin and used about 5 pumps in total. I used a beauty blender to apply it and I felt that the sponge absorbed a lot of the product. I felt like the shade that I purchased (Classic Ivory) had too much of a pink undertone and wasn't a great match. I will use this as a mix-in foundation in the future. However, I immediately liked how it looked on my skin and I agree that it is a buildable coverage that you can build up until you get a full coverage look. It has a satin finish and felt comfortable on the skin as time went on.

It wasn't the most lightweight foundation that I have ever used though and looked slightly cakey on the skin before setting it with powder. I was very oily after 6 hours of wear but I blotted and the foundation wasn't breaking up on my face. After the night wore on, I realized that the foundation didn't have much of a pink undertone comparing to when I first put it on. 

Is It Worth The Money?
I think that next time I wear it, I would definitely apply it with a brush rather than a sponge and I feel like the pros outweigh the cons. I definitely feel like this foundation would be too thick and wouldn't wear well on people with dry skin. Overall, I thought it held up and that it wasn't a bad foundation to use. I will definitely be using it again in the future and you can't beat the price that I paid for it!

You can feel free to check out my Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation Review to see how that one compared to this one!

Until next time,

Project 10 Pan - Round 6 | 2017

Hey everyone! It's that time again where I share with you 10 products that I have used up! If you haven't already checked out my Project 10 Pan Round 5 post, I have linked it for you.

MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil - In Anticipation - I am so glad that I am finally done with this lip pencil! I featured this in Part 1 of my Disappointing Makeup Products video series, and I mentioned how it dried out my lips as well as how it was a strange formula. The actual colour itself, didn’t stay put either and wiggled around. When I sharpened it, there was a small gap or hole in the actual crayon despite that I was using a MAC sharpener on a MAC lip pencil. It didn’t make sense and neither did this pencil. 

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm - This is a non-tinted beeswax based lip balm that contains vitamin e and peppermint inside. You can definitely smell the peppermint inside and this is a great every day lip balm. It is small enough to put inside your pocket or the side pocket of your clutch. It did the job and I have no complaints other than when the actual lip balm got low, it had a tendency to fall out out of the tube which was rather annoying.

ELF Translucent Mattifying Powder - This was a decent translucent powder that is very affordable. I actually featured it in a past Haul on my YouTube channel. I am extremely oily and this only worked for me when I was using other oil-control products in-conjunction with this one. I finished it rather quickly and I know that it is only $3 on the ELF web site, but my other powders seem to last me a long longer than this one. I received this free with my order when I used a promotional code online, therefore, I really can’t complain! If you want a powder that will last you a long time, this is definitely not for you but this is a great powder to keep in your purse for touch-ups throughout the day.

Buxom Hot Escapes Bronzer in Tahiti (2 g or 0.07 oz) - I have been using this little bronzer for quite some time now, and I shocked at how long it has lasted me! I featured this in my Samples Challenge video that I created. I was using this bronzer every single day and even though it has some shimmer to it, it is not too much for every day use! This is overall a great bronzer and I love the scent as it smells slightly tropical! I originally redeemed this on the Sephora web site for the 500 point perk that came with a few other items from Buxom! 

Maybelline Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer in #20 Light - This is a great full coverage concealer that I was using every single time that I did my makeup. I did post an entire dedicated review for the Master Conceal in the shade Fair. I liked the formula as well as the colour very much. I don’y have anything negative to say about this product and the best part is that it is from the drugstore thus making it very affordable!

Maybelline Brow Precise Micro Pencil in Deep Brown - I’m not a fan of this pencil at all. I only purchased it because it was on sale at the time and I was in need of a new brow pencil. I know that this is a micro pencil but it did not last me long at all and the pencil actually kept breaking off on me. That was quite annoying and the NYX Micro Brow Pencil didn’t do that to me and it actually lasted me a lot longer. I would not consider re-purchasing this product ever again even if it was on sale or if I was desperate, I still wouldn’t buy it again.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara in #01 Extreme Black - I actually received this in my Sephora Mystery Bag and I found this to be an excellent mascara for the lower lashes! It is very easy to use, doesn’t transfer and I like the brush! It is not a plastic wand and it gets the job done! I looked forward to using this product each time I would apply mascara! To see what I received in my Mystery Bag, check out my video!

Buxom Hold The Line Waterproof Eyeliner in Call Me - I have two of these and I have finally finished up one. It is a decent eyeliner as it is a jet black, but it isn’t one of my favourites as I much prefer the one by Marc Jacobs. It does glide on smoothly but it transferred outside of my waterline almost every single time that I wore it. 

Tarte Rainforest of The Sea Marine Boosting Mist - I really did like this product because I found it to be a great multi-purpose product. You can see how I used it 3 different ways in my Samples Challenge Video that I created. What I didn’t like about it is how fast I went through it. I know it is a sample size but I was using it at night also after I applied all my skin care so imagine how fast I will go through a full sized bottle? It retails for $30 CAD for 2.5 oz/75 ml of product which is something to keep in mind. Another thing that I didn’t like is when I was almost done the product inside the bottle, it wasn’t spraying out clear on my face and was spraying out white specks on my face. It was annoyed after I had done my entire face of makeup and had to grab my beauty blender to tap out these white spots on my face. I do think it’s a great product, I enjoyed using it and I really liked the packaging as it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I just feel like those few things are preventing my from purchasing a larger bottle of the Marine Boosting Mist from Tarte.


ELF Makeup Mist & Set - If you have been following me for awhile, you already know that this is my holy grail facial mist. I use it to both prime and set my face in-conjunction with a few other products. I have a few back-ups of this product and I am already on my new bottle! I actually started spraying this onto my face at night after I applied all my lotions, creams and serums to lock everything in-place as well as to add another of moisture to my face! If you want to see how this compared when compared to 2 others, check out my post on the Battle of Setting Sprays!

In case you are wondering, after I share these 10 items with you, I don't throw them away, I actually recycle them at Origins. They have a great Recycling Program that you can check out!

12 Essential Makeup Must-Haves

Hey everyone! There is a lot of makeup currently on the market and I wanted to share with you 12 items that are needed in your makeup repertoire. Of course, you can always substitute certain items for others and you don't have to use the exact brands that are shown if you don't want to. I just want to show you the types of products that I find myself reaching for most often on a day-to-day basis.

Items Needed:
ELF Makeup Mist & Set
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15 Fair
COVERGIRL TruBlend Liquid Foundation in L5
MAC Studio CareBlend Pressed Powder in Light
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Medium/Deep
ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Lunch Money
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown
Maybelline Matte Lipstick in #665 in Lust For Blush
COVERGIRL So Lashy! Blast PRO Mascara in Extreme Black
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
beauty blender pro Sponge
Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens

The ELF Makeup Mist & Set can double for a primer as well as a setting spray. The Maybelline lipstick can be used both on the lips as well as on the cheeks for a nice blush colour. You can use the bronzer in your crease and the ColourPop highlighter can be used on the lids to give the illusion of a shimmery eyeshadow. The blotting sheets from Boscia can be used to keep your oils in-check throughout the day and you can just add it into your purse or clutch.

Until next time,

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream
Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray (Oil-Control)

To top off the look, I used #930 Truffle Tease Lipstick by Maybelline which is a great nude colour!

Until next time,

Project 10 Pan - Round 4 | 2016

Hey everyone! I have been using up a ton of makeup products lately and wanted to share with you some items that I currently have used up!

ELF Makeup Mist & Set - This is a holy grail item for me that I use before and after my makeup application. I have many more in my back-up drawer to go through and you will be seeing more empties of this particular product in the near future!

Maybelline Fit Me Hydrate + Smooth Foundation in 210 Sandy Beige - This has an SPF of 18 and is for Normal to Dry skin. I have combination skin and that didn’t really apply to me but I did appreciate the SPF in the foundation! I find myself going through these foundations rather quickly but it is very inexpensive so I really can’t complain. Also, I love that they have a wide range of shades in this foundation because there is something for just about everyone! Side note: This has been renamed to Fit Me Dewy + Smooth in the USA but is still the same formula as this one which is the Hydrate + Smooth. 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in Shade 240 Golden Beige - This alone was too dark for me and I mixed it with the Clarins BB Cream which gave me the perfect coverage on my skin! The original formula may just be my favourite out of the entire Fit Me line.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in Light - This gave me great coverage for under my eyes! I wasn’t a fan of the sponge applicator because I feel as though the sponge soaks up a lot of the product. It also can have bacteria which I try not to think about because you can’t exactly clean the applicator. I would have loved if it was in a squeeze bottle or even if it had a pump!

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr.Rescue in Pink Me Up

This wasn’t my favourite product to use because the formula didn’t last long on my lips and I was constantly reapplying it. It is a medicated balm and there is an expiration date on the bottom just an FYI. 

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer aka 'The Luminizer' - This was a great highlighter to use that lasted me over a year! I absolutely love highlighting my face and would often times apply this on my lips as well as in my inner-corners! It is described as a ‘honey-hued lumanizer,’ that really gives me the perfect colour that I look for in a highlighter! I also love the mirror that comes with the compact and I even found myself using it to do my makeup in when I was in different hotels!

NYX Above & Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ 10 Yellow - It is described as light weight and crease free. I would have to agree and I want to mention that I use it under my foundation to really brighten up all the parts on my face that I apply highlighter to. It was a decent product but I didn’t fall in love with it.

Clarins Paris BB Skin Perfecting Cream in 00 Fair - I have used up another tube of this that I spoke about in a past empties blog post. I use this before my foundation to even out my skin tone. I like that it has an SPF of 25 to help protect the skin. I am interested in trying out another brand before buying another tube of this BB cream from Clarins. 

Benefit The Pore-fessional  - This helps to ‘minimize the appearance of pores’ which I need because I have large pores that need some help! This product does not have a colour because it is translucent and feels silky on the skin when you rub it into your skin! It is also oil-free and lightweight. I would definitely re-purchase this product! It is pricey but it honestly lasts a long time and a little bit of this product goes a long way!

MAC Lipstick in Angel - This shade is a frost and is described as a ‘soft pink’ on the MAC web site. It is by far one my my favourite lipstick shades at MAC. I would definitely repurchase this!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal Review

Hey everyone! I recently ran out of my other Maybelline Concealer which was the Age Rewind one, and I went to the store to pick-up a new concealer which is when I came across this one.

I purchased mine in the shade 'Light' because the shade 'Fair' was too pink-toned for me and I knew that would not work because I have a yellow undertone to my skin. I much prefer this applicator to the Age Rewind one which is a sponge tip, because you can control exactly how much product comes out through the small opening. Now I don't know if this is with all of the concealers in the FaceStudio Master Conceal line, but mine was rather liquid-y when squeezing product out. It is not a huge downside to this product because it does give a nice medium coverage to the skin.

It does blend out very well and I use a small brush to drag the product onto my skin to outline the areas that I want to brighten. I then grab a Beauty Blender and blend away! The tube itself is small as it is only 12 ml. I was going to try the Fit Me concealer (also by Maybelline,) but that tube would last me about a month before I run out and have to purchase again. I wanted something that would last me a bit longer. As far as price is concerned, I bought mine for $10 CAD at Wal-Mart. 

Overall, I do like this concealer and think that it is a fair price for what you are paying. I do enjoy the medium coverage and that it is more of a yellow undertone in shade 'Light.' I am curious to see how long this will last me and I will be sure to keep you updated on that!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

L'Oreal Warehouse Sale Thoughts & Swatches

Hey everyone! I went to the L'Oreal Warehouse Sale a few days ago and I wanted to share with you the items that I picked up. They actually moved locations from North York to Markham. I remember finding a great YSL kit at their old location but I didn't seem to find much at their new space! The parking is MUCH better! At the old location, you would have to wait for a spot and there would be security would would help you with your parking spot. 

What I Purchased

Prices

I managed to purchase 3 lipsticks and one nail care set. The two Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks were $2.75 each. The L'Oreal Color Riche Matte Lipstick was $2.50. The L'Oreal Nail set was $1.75. I felt as though they were being sneaky because they only hand a few of these sets located by the nail polish section and they had only one of the two bottles closer to cash that were selling for $2.00.

I will get some good use of of these two products because I am about to be out of my other one! I couldn't go wrong for $1.75! You get a base coat and a top coat in the bundle. There is no step two because that is for your nail polish colour of choice.

L'Oreal Color Riche Matte Lipstick in 130 Androgyne

 I will not wear this alone but will be using it to mix with other lip colours! The packaging is old-fashioned but the product itself smells minty and is quite opaque!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 960 Tangy Tulip

I really like this shade of orange! It is perfect for Spring and will look great paired with my orange lip liner from ColourPop Cosmetics! 

Here is a photo of me wearing the shade by itself

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 735 Rose Rush

This is a nice red colour! I actually don't have any full-sized red lipsticks and I think that it is about time that I added one to my collection!

Overall:

I just want to mention that they do NOT accept cash. It is quite strange and I do not know the reason behind it. Also, they do not have any plastic bags. They will charge you about $2-$3 for a L'Oreal branded tote bag. I urge you to bring your own bag if you need to carry more than a handful of items out of the store! Also, I was disappointed that they show cased some NYX products on the displays but there were none to be found for purchase in-store!

This sale is by invite only and there is a limit on how much you are allowed to spend. There is a security guard who does a quick scan before you leave the building and if you have to use the bathroom before you go, you have to go back towards the entrance which is a weird layout in my opinion. Last thing before I go that I wanted to mention, it is the last week to visit the sale this week so if you are in the Markham area, check it out because you may have better luck than I did!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Top 5 Affordable Holiday/Winter Nail Polishes

Hey everyone! I wanted to write a blog post about all my favourite nail polishes that have been in my rotation lately! I feel that each one can be perfect to wear at a holiday party depending on your style and what you are looking for in a nail polish or just on a regular winter day!

Nail Polishes (Left to Right):

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in #390 Red Carpet

Such a great festive color! It really brings attention to the nails and can glam up your hands instantly in just 1-2 coats!

Maybelline Color Show in #305 Gilded Rose

This is a fabulous glitzy, girly colour! There are chunks of rose glitter inside, and the base colour is gold.

L'Oreal Nail Color in #116 Brit Invasion

The base colour is purple/grey and there is gold shimmer which is a beautiful combination!

OPI Nail Lacquer in My Private Jet

I heard online a few years back that Kim Kardashian was using this colour on her nails. After I viewed a picture showing her wearing this colour, I immediately had to get it! It is a darker black nail polish colour that when held up to the light, appears to reflect a shade of burgundy and it also, has little silver sparkles inside. It is a truly unique colour!

Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Twilight 

This shade is probably my ultimate go-to colour right now and my favourite out of these 5 beautiful colours. I have a back-up in my collection ready to use! The base colour is a true black and there are chunky flakes of green, copper, orange and gold. I have YET to find a comparable colour from another brand.

Until next time,

Thanks for stopping by!
