Makeup Haul and First Impressions

Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope you all had a great one! This is my first post for 2016 and I'm excited to share with you a few products I added to my collection and here are my first impressions and swatches.

You gotta love Ulta's end of the year discounts! I took advantage of the 20% off and ordered myself the Tartelette In Bloom. Walgreens is having a BOGO 1/2 off, I got 3 of the Vivid Matte Liquid colors that stood out to me. The Balm Cosmetic Mary-Lou Manizer is tough to get and I got luck this week to get one at Kohls!

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid  I got Nude Thrill, Berry Boost and Fuchsia Ecstasy. The colors are pigmented. It goes on smooth, but doesn't dry down to a matte finish. Its more like a Demi-Matte finish and creamy. It didn't dry out my lips or bleed, currently I am into the dry matte lippies and I was really hoping for that effect. The name is deceiving. If you love the NYX Intense Butter Glosses then you will appreciate this.

Tarte Tartelette 2 In Bloom Amazonia Clay Palette I am in love with this palette!! This reminds me so much of the Tartelette Palette but with 3 luster (shimmery) finishes. The shadows are creamy, pigmented and blend-able. Perfect for everyday or bold looks! A must have! I also recommend the OG Tartelette Palette!

theBalm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer I've seen this product everywhere and now I completely get why this is a favorite!! I am so glad I finally own it! It is so versatile and this honey luminizer is amazing on any skin type. You can wear this as an eye shadow, shimmer and highlighter. I can't get over how beautiful it is! Definitely a must have!

I hope you enjoyed! I'll be working on posting once a week. I can't guarantee the day, but you can count on that! I want to wish you all a blessed new year with health, happiness and prosperity in all you do! Thank you so much for all your love and support! Cheers to 2016!!
