PUR COSMETICS Quick Pro Glitters REVIEW & MAKEUP LOOK

Its been a while since I shared a makeup look with you. Yesterday my daughter’s said “mommy you must be feeling better, you have makeup on!” I said “absolutely!” I had the flu over the March Break but I’m feeling better and I wanted to share two makeup looks with you. I’m using the PUR Cosmetics Quick Pro Glitters that are a 3-in-one formula. It can be used as an eyeshadow base, eyeshadow alone or glitter top coat to make any eye makeup look pop! I also used it on my lips and cheeks because I find that PUR Cosmetics is gentle on my skin. These glitters are so fine they are not harsh, they go on smoothly and when it’s time to wipe them off they come off so easy.

Did you know that PUR Cosmetics is Cruelty Free? They are also talc free, paraben free, gluten free, petroleum free, mineral oil free, vegan friendly and sodium lauryl sulfate free.

I received the Quick Pro Glitters that come in a kit and they are available at purcosmetics.com, ULTA and Kohls for $39.00. *PR SAMPLES

Here are the Glitters and swatches.

From top to bottom: NAMASLAY, LUST, QUEENIE and OMG.

Here is a makeup look with NAMASLAY

It’s a beautiful gold and the formula is very easy to apply. The applicator is great but I like to use my finger. I find it glides nicely with the finger on the eyelid. I also used it on my lips. It was comfortable to wear and didn’t feel gritty at all. I’ve never seen a glitter formula like this before and if I were to buy glitters I would totally buy these. As for the fur in the photo it is a faux fur and it’s a blanket. LOL

For this makeup look I used LUST & QUEENIE. I also applied LUST on the CHEEKS! It’s brilliant! Lust is a beautiful stunning copper and I placed that on the outer part of the eyes. Queenie is a light yellow and put that on the inner part of the eyes leaving a dramatic line going down. I love this look what do you think? I tried using a brush but I feel that using my fingers works best.

My overall thoughts about thePUR Cosmetics Quick Pro Glitters is that they are absolutely wonderful. I love how they apply and they stay on all day. The best part is they really shine so nicely and give an extra special sparkle. They also don’t look like cheep glitter. They are beautifully pigmented and reflect the light so nicely. They look and feel luxurious. These would be beautiful over any eyeshadow and you can use as little or as much as you like. They feel comfortable and light on the eyelids. The formula does not feel gritty or harsh in anyway. I highly recommend that if you are looking for eye makeup glitter you go for PUR Cosmetics Glitters. They are absolutely perfection!

Thank you so much to PUR COSMETICS for the lovely samples. I absolutely love them!

Essence Cosmetics Fall & Winter Makeup 2017

I’m very excited to share Essence Cosmetics Fall/Winter makeup. The Fall makeup is really beautiful and natural. The products can be used for a soft look or dramatic evening look. Very versatile and beautiful for every skin tone.

This is the Essence Eye & Face Palette in 01 Glow For It. I really love the pigmentation and colours. They are absolutely beautiful. They blend nicely and are perfect for everyday and evening. They last all day and I love that this palette also has a lovely highlighter and cheek colour.

This is the Essence BLUSHPLAY Sculpting Blush Palette in 10 Play it Peach. Very beautiful and gives a healthy look to the complexion. Beautiful peach colours! They are really lovely and give the skin a healthy look.

The Colour Correcting Sticks are fantastic for helping the complexion. The PURPLE 05 Say no to tired skin is a creamy colour correcting stick that eliminates dullness & harmonizes skin tone. You apply it directly on imperfections and blend it. Then there is the Liquid concealer in 10 Pastel Pink. This really helps with dark circles. The GREEN 04 say no to redness helps neutralize redness. You apply on imperfections and blend. Very creamy and easy to work with.

Here are my favourite lip glosses. Definitely my October Favourites! Matt Matt Matt long lasting lipgloss in the colours 03 Girl of today, 02 Beauty Approved! Also a clear gloss, 01 behind the scenes.

Top swatch is 02 Beauty Approved, Second swatch is 03 Girl of Today. Last one is the clear one.

This is the Essence all About Matt fixing compact powder. All about matt is extremely smooth waterproof fixing compact powder for a matt and natural finish all day long. Helps to blend blush and foundation colours together. Fixes make-up when applied as finishing powder for all skin types.

This is Essence instant MATT make-up setting spray. Oil-free and non sticky. It is very lightweight. It keeps the makeup in place all day and It doesn’t feel like you have anything on. It’s lovely matt spray. You can also use this as a primer.

This is Essence Waterkiss lipgloss lip colour. This is in the colour 05 Ocean Girl. This feels very light and it has a liquid formula that feels light. At the same time it is pigmented and doesn’t stain the lips. It feels like a stain formula but comes off easy. It doesn’t have the same consistency as the Essence glosses. This formula has more of a water base sensation.

The Honey Care smells so good! I really love the scrub. It really exfoliates nicely and smells so delicious. The hand cream is wonderful as well. Very hydrating and moisturizing.

I also have Essence Strobing Highlighting eyeshadow base. A fantastic base that gives a lovely highlight to any eyeshadow. It also helps the eyeshadow from creasing. Essence Strobing Highlighter Stick. Love this highlight. Goes on so smoothly and softly. Looks amazing and doesn’t have glitter. A beautiful illuminating light. The Essence Make me matt lip top coat is brilliant! If you have a drying matt lip product you can just add this on top and it will give a little hydration to the lips without changing the formula. Brilliant! The Cover Stick is fabulous! I have the colour 20 matt sand. It is soft and creamy and blends nicely on the skin. The metal shock lipstick in the colour 02 GUNS’N ROSE is the prettiest pink ever! Absolutely breathtaking metallic lipstick.

This little eyebrow kit is perfect! I absolutely love it and love how small and compact it is. These work brilliantly and are amazing to keep in your makeup bag. They are little but they work really nicely! The tweezers grab the little hairs perfectly. Amazing for travelling and on the go.

I love a beautiful French Manicure and these tips really help create the perfect French Manicure look. Very stylish and classy. They are super easy to use. I haven’t tried the stand out 3D Touch Manicure sticker yet but they look fantastic! I’m excited to try them.

These are brilliant Cooling and relaxing eye pads. You just place these in the fridge for one hour and then let the pads cool and relax your eyes. Perfect for tired eyes.

My favourite mascara at the moment. I love Lash Princess mascara and this is the sculpted volume. It works so nicely and I love the amazing volume and length that it gives my lashes. Definitely one of my October favourites!

I have two Essence pencils that are absolutely soft, creamy and long lasting. The Essence 01 Light Up Your eyes inner trim eye pencil, which is also wonderful to use all over the eyelid or even as eyeliner. Also the eyeliner in 18 Berry Merry is a beautiful berry colour.

Here I have a few makeup Looks Created with Essence Cosmetics Fall Winter Collection.

Thanks so much to Essence Cosmetics for the beautiful samples. I’m truly grateful and I adore everything!

I Spy With My Little Eye COVERGIRL on RIVERDALE! Hot Show & Bold Makeup!

Riverdale is an American teen drama television series based on the characters by Archie Comics. It was ordered to series at The CW in May 2016, and the 13-episode first season premiered on January 26, 2017. It was adapted for television by Archie Comics’ chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and executive produced by Greg Berlanti -wikipedia

Really excited to share with you my latest obsession. The Series RIVERDALE which is on Netflix. I know, I hate that word OBSESSION. It’s overused, but whatever. I love the show and I love reading the comic books. Ever since I was little I’ve been enjoying Archie Comics and they’ve made a Series based on the Characters. I love how the actors bring the characters to life. There’s Jughead played by Cole Sprouse, Archie played by KJ Apa, Betty played by Lili Reinhart, Veronica played by Camila Mendes, Cheryl Blossom played by Madelaine Petsch and more fabulous actors and actresses. The cast is incredible! I also can’t help but be in love with the makeup and outfits in this series. That’s obvious!

I spy with my little eye COVERGIRL on RIVERDALE:

*So lashy Mascara

Lipstick 310 Seduce Scarlet (Purchased by my self)

It’s very obvious because they pause one minute on each Covergirl product, but I don’t mind. I love Covergirl and if the girls on RIVERDALE wear Covergirl well so will I! I’m so inspired and can’t wait to share all the makeup looks that i’ve created today. Okay three makeup looks. Cheryl Blossom, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge. But before I get into the makeup let me tell you a little about the show.

The series takes place in a little town called RIVERDALE. Feels a lot like the town from TWILIGHT, I won’t lie but I love Twilight so thats a bonus for me. The series has a 50’s feel to it but still very modern and takes place in the present time. The only thing that I hope they improve on is the setting. It seems to me that the only place they go to in each episode is each other’s homes, the school, the forest and no mall! I wish they would include the mall. They only include Pop’s CHOCK’LIT SHOPPE, oh yes and Archie’s father’s job site. But I hope the remaining episodes change a bit in terms of setting. No big deal but it does get stagnant.

The series starts off with a murder investigation. Someone has murdered Cheryl Blossom’s brother and everyone gets tangled up in the messy situation. All the characters face challenges and relationship issues. The storyline keeps getting better and better in each episode. What I find most incredible is how the characters change. Not physically change but emotionally alter. Latest episode jughead really surprised me. Very deep stuff happening.

The ladies really run the show in this series and I adore how strong they are. There’s Betty, Veronica and the fierce Cheryl. There’s also the Pussycat dolls and they are amazing! I adore how strong they are. Fierce and strong. Also incredibly talented.

I relate to Betty, Veronica and Cheryl in many ways. I see a bit of me in each one and this has inspired me to create the makeup looks that I’m about to show you. The make up in the show is flawless and inspiring. Each character has their own fierce style.

I’m going to start with…

Cheryl Blossom

Cheryl Blossom might be the villain but she is fierce and very stylish. Her lips are ALWAYS bold and bright. When Cheryl is in the room the first thing you see is the lips and then her fierce defined eyes. She might be mean and have ulterior motives but I can’t help feel sorry for her. She is lonely and sad inside. She takes it out on others by being hurtful and snarky. The only thing I like about Cheryl is that she challenges people. She also surprises others when they are not expecting it by helping. Or is it because she wants to get something out of it?

MAKEUP LOOK

For Cheryl Blossom I focused on defining the eyes and extending the eyelashes. I also focused on using a bright red lip colour. The products I used are the following:

Hair extensions by: Irresistible Me

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*COVERGIRL Eyeshadow JEWELS Eyeshadow palette (second one from the left, the lilac colour)

*COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

*COVERGIRL Outlast All Day in RICHEST RED 130

*For the Eyeliner I used the Jewels Eyeshadow palette. I used the black colour (I wet it and used this shadow as a liner)

JEWELS COVERGIRL Trunaked

Next lets talk about my favourite girl

Veronica Lodge

Veronica is sweet, kind and always stands up for what’s right. She is fierce and defends the ones she loves. She’s a go-getter and loves her friends very much. She also has a crush on Archie. She loves her pearls and is very mature for her age. She is sassy and classy. I love her character so much. She definitely loves challenges and will take up anyone on a challenge. She is strong and smart.

MAKEUP LOOK

For this makeup look I noticed that Veronica loves the fine eyeliner and the lip is a lovely vampy purple. She loves her pearls so I’ve added them in the photo. She loves to line the upper eyelid. I also filled my eyebrows closer to my nose. I kind of like them this way. What do you think?

For this makeup look I used the following:

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*Eyelashes I used COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

Covergirl eyeshadow palette Goldens and used the 3rd one from the left. A soft brown.

*The Eyeliner is from the Jewels true naked Eyeshadow palette and I used the black one to line my eyelids.

*Lips I used COVERGIRL Outlast all day in the colour 155 Deep Burgandy

COVERGIRL OUTLAST ALL-DAY COLOURS

The hardest makeup look to achieve was Betty Cooper. The no makeup-makeup look was a challenge. I had a hard time with it because it’s all about highlight and low lights. To make the makeup look natural without creating a flat surface. First I will say that Lili Reinhart is so so beautiful! It was hard to become her in this makeup look because she is the all American looking girl and I’m a Greek girl if you know what I mean. lol So I decided to just take the makeup and apply it to my self and not actually become her but take what I can from her look and make it me. I hope that makes sense.

BETTY COOPER

She is sweet, kind and wants to do the right thing all the time. She loves her sister and wants to protect her. She might look sweet and perfect but she’s not to be messed with. She has a deep dark side that sometimes bubbles to the surface so don’t cross her. It’s Betty’s way or the Highway!

For this makeup look I used the following:

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*Eyelashes I used COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

*COVERGIRL Eyeshadow JEWELS Eyeshadow palette (second one from the left, the lilac colour)

Because I didn’t have a covergirl blush I just used the same eyeshadow for blush and from the same palette I used the first and lightest colour for highlight.

*For the lips I used OUTLAST ALL-CUSTOM RED in the colour 850 Extraordinary Fuchsia and used very little followed by Outlast All Day in the colour 110 Passionate Pink.

OUTLAST ALL-DAY CUSTOM REDS

I love COVERGIRL Outlast all-day Custom Reds because they are shiny, super long lasting and feel really nice on the lips. It comes with the all day colour coat which is applied first and then topped up with the moisturizing top coat.

This is the new COVERGIRL mascara Total Tease and I’m currently testing it out. I’ll get back to you all with a little review soon.
