KYLIE COSMETICS KYLIGHTER & BLUSH // REVIEW

-

I've tried quite a few Kylie Cosmetics lip products (which I love) - but this was my first time trying anything else from the brand.

Kylie Cosmetics Kylighters, Blushes, and Bronzers are sold  online at KylieCosmetics.com & online and in-stores at Ulta, where I purchased mine. They come in 6 shades each and would compliment a wide range of skin tones. 

The original Blushes and Kylighters were released a few years ago, but they were recently reformulated and repackaged. I really love the new packaging of both of these products. It doesn't feel like a junky plastic component that would break - it actually feels sturdy and like it would last a long time. There is also a mirror inside, which is so helpful and is something I utilize everyday when doing my makeup.  The pale pink color is so pretty and fits so well with the rest of the brand's aesthetic. 

The powders are also imprinted with the iconic Kylie Cosmetics drips, which is such a cute personalized aspect to the products!

Princess, Please // Kylighter // $20



Swatching this highlighter really won't do the product justice. The swatches can look a little bit chalky and like nothing special at first. In my experience, I have found this to be the case with most powder face products. This product really shines when you apply with a brush! It gives such a beautiful natural shine to the skin, and doesn't look powdery or cakey throughout the day. To make the shine more prominent, I recommend layering it on top of a cream highlight base.

The ultra-intense glittery metallic highlight can be fun sometimes, but isn't practical for day-to-day casual makeup - which is why I love this highlight so much. It gives the shine I want on my face, without looking like I have too much on. It does have a small amount of glitter in it, but it doesn't apply like a strip of glitter on the face like some highlights can. In the sunlight it just adds a little extra sparkle! 

I have "Princess, Please", which is a beautiful pale pink shade that compliments my very fair skin perfectly. My go-to highlighter brush is the Real Techniques Setting Brush.

Baddie on the Block // Blush // $18



Out of all the blushes I've tried, this formula is my all-time favorite! It has the perfect amount of pigmentation and lasts all day - even in the humidity and heat of the summer! I also love to layer this with the Flower Beauty Liquid Blush Bombs to make this product even more long-wearing!

I have the shade "Baddie on the Block", which is a mid-toned pink. Like I said before, I have very fair skin and this blush compliments my skin tone perfectly. It's not too bright and not too pink, so it leaves a very natural finish on my skin. 

It's a very buildable formula so you won't apply too much of the product all at once. I love blush, so I usually apply two layers for the perfect flushed look. 


Overall, I absolutely love both of these products and would highly recommend them to anyone interested. The only downside I have is the price - even though they're more affordable than most high-end brands, it is definitely a lot more expensive than drugstore prices. I would recommend buying during one of the many sales on the Kylie Cosmetics website or using coupons/reward points at Ulta like I did to make the price more reasonable. Otherwise, they're very high quality products that have become some of my all time favorites in my makeup collection!

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo // Album Review

-
Image
GUTS  is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Olivia Rodrigo , following up her massively successful debut album, SOUR , in 2021 . To have the level of success she has had right out the gate with her first-ever single "driver's license" in early 2021 is so rare and she quickly became one of the most notable pop artists to debut this decade so far. There are a lot of songs that I have come to really enjoy on this album, some of which are among my favorites of the entire year so far. When comparing  GUTS *  to  SOUR *,  they are alike in a lot of ways, both sonically and aesthetically. In my opinion,  GUTS  builds upon the foundation she and her producer/co-writer, Dan Nigro, set in place with  SOUR  really well. Olivia is in such an interesting and unique position as an artist right now. The closest, or most recent, comparison I have to it is where Billie Eilish was at with her career a few years ago after her debut album . Both her and Olivia went from being vir

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman * is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman * is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The

Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt // Newbury Comics Exclusive Rainbow Vinyl

-
Image
Tragic Kingdom is the hit breakthrough album by  No Doubt , released in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. Blending a mix of pop, punk, rock and ska, it was a groundbreaking album for the music landscape of the mid-90's and instantly became a timeless classic. It was the band's third album together, which differed quite a bit from their first two lesser-known records, partly because of the interpersonal drama within the lives of the members at the time. For the first time, No Doubt's music was mainly written from the perspective of the band's frontwoman  Gwen Stefani . This album was just the start of Gwen becoming the major force in pop music that she was for much of the next decade to follow. This record still is just as relevant now as it was then, I hear the influences of  Tragic Kingdom and Gwen's emblematic attitude try to be replicated by so many modern pop and rock records released today.  This album spawned several massive hits for them, including "S

Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves // Album Review

-
Image
Deeper Well  by Kacey Musgraves sounds like the first blossoming of spring after a long, cold winter. An aspect that shines the most within this music is her talent for sweet and simple songwriting. Every song is very rooted in nature and uses vivid imagery to paint such a stunning, honest and reflective portrait of this current phase of her life. The production is very stripped-back on most of these tracks, with the focus mainly on her vocals and lyricism. This is among her most introspective work yet, chronicling her inner-most thoughts and emotions from where she last left off in 2021 with  star-crossed . She worked on this album primarily in New York City at Electric Lady Studios , which is an environment that played into her wanting to make a softer, more subdued album this time. "There’s the smell of marijuana, pizza, people talking, skateboarders, loud music, everything at 220. And I think you take some of those things to the studio. When the outside environment is so max

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
