Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette was love at first sight If you're a highlighter fan (who isn't? duh) then you should run to the store don't walk! This Star Light, Star Bright highlighter was a part of their 2016 Holiday collection. This palette is housed in a sturdy rectangular plastic compact with a mirror inside along with three stunning shades Bronze, Kitten, and Transcendence. The texture of these highlighters are very soft like butter, lightweight, and it feels bouncy to the touch it's absolutely stunning. It reminds me of the gelee formula it feels wet and creamy, but it's a powder it's quite unique. Although the cream to powder consistency wowed me however the pigmentation wasn't up to par. The shades Bronze and Kitten has great pigmentation, but the shade Transcendence lacked in pigmentation I had to go over it a few times for an opaque finish. All three shades lasted well throughout the day, and it wore for 9 hours before it started fading. And all three shades are medium to buildable coverage, so it's perfect for both daytime and night time looks. 

Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

• Bronze- A sparkly warm copper bronzy shade. It's very metallic and shimmery without the chunky glitters. I think this will look lovely on tan to dark skin tones on my tan skin it looks great gives me a sun-kissed glow but I have to go very light hand when it comes to the application, so it doesn't seem too orangy. This highlighter powder blends seamlessly I use my finger or my favorite Hakuhodo fan brush (featured here) to apply this highlighter.

Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

• Kitten- This is a stunning rose gold shade one of Stila's most popular shade, and I can see why it's lovely. On my medium tan skin, it shows up neutral not too warm not too cool I love the sheen radiant glow it gives me, but this can be a little dark on lighter skin tones. Also, It can be used as a blush topper which will look stunning! Kitten blended seamlessly it's very airy, and I love using this as an eyeshadow as well such a gorgeous shade this is my favorite out of all three shades.

Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

• Transcendence- A beautiful cool lilac shade with a bit of glitter which I'm not a big fan of, I don't typically reach for pinkish lilac shades when comes to highlighter. However, this is a fun shade, and I think it will look great on lighter skin tones and since it's not very pigmented you can never go overboard with this it will give you a soft opalescent glow. This powder like the other two blended seamlessly and I love using this on the inner corner of my eyes as a bright pop of color, and it's a great way to add some a subtle color to a neutral look. 

Stila Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

Overall

I'm a big fan of Stila Cosmetics I have been using their products for years, and I've seen the quality getting only better with time. I'm very impressed with this palette the formula is outstanding, and the sturdy packaging makes this highlighting palette very travel-friendly. Now, here's the part I don't like this is a Limited Edition palette so if you want this palette then check your nearest Sephora, Ulta or Macy's (still available online) for availability. Also, for those who wants to try just one shade out of these three Stila has got you covered with their new Heaven's Hue highlighter powders. You can purchase these powders in individual compacts it's now available at Sephora, Ulta, and Macy's. 

Which do you prefer the individual compacts or the highlighting palette? Please leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts.

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips Review and Swatches

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips 

Automatic, Impulse, and Tantalize $60 for 0.12 oz. each

Where to purchase: Nordstrom, Beautylish

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips 

Product Info:

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips bring the play of light and dark, integral to Tom Ford's face philosophy, to color contouring. Two shades (one dark and one light) complement for shaping lips with high pigmentation in a velvet matte finish. Using the dual-ended applicator, featuring a sponge on one end and a lip brush on the other, both shades can be applied to create a subtle to dramatic ombré effect. The powder-gelèe formula features emollient oils and a blend of polymers that provide rich color release and adherence. Each color combination is designed to complement every skin tone.

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips 

Today I will be reviewing Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Lips in Automatic, Impulse and Tantalize. If you haven't seen my previous sneak peek/first impression post with the complete swatches of Tom Ford Spring Collection 2017 check it out here. The packaging of these lip duos are the same size as their blush compact, and it comes with a dual ended brush. There is a total of six shades I purchased three I decided to play it safe and grabbed two nudes and a pop of color. These lip duos are very creamy in texture, and it's highly pigmented. Although these lipsticks have a matte finish, they're not drying on the lips, and it doesn't settle into the lines. I love how lightweight these lipsticks are, and it's so velvety and silky in consistency. I also love how the shades were put together you can create an ombre lips by applying the darker shade then dab the lighter shade in the middle you can actually play with these lip duos and get creative with it. 

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips 

I've noticed the nude duos are more matte than the bright ones so if you have very dry chapped lips I suggest priming your lips well before applying the lipsticks. I must admit I was skeptical at first cause I don't really like to use a lip palette, but to my surprise, I've been using these non-stop ever since I purchased them. I prefer using the lip brush than the sponge, and I like to use a lip liner with these lip duos I find layering it helps these lipsticks last longer. These had worn for 3-4 hours before it started fading and the bright shade did leave a light stain behind. 

Tom Ford Automatic Shade & Illuminate Lips

• Automatic- It's a pale beige nude and a brown nude shade. 

Tom Ford Impulse Shade & Illuminate Lips

• Impulse- It's a light pink nude and a dark mauve shade. ( my favorite!)

Tom Ford Tantalize Shade and Illuminate Lips

• Tantalize-  It's a peachy nude and a bright, warm coral shade. (love this one too)

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips Swatches

Overall

I'm a big fan of Tom Ford lipsticks, and I really like these lip duos the colors are coordinated perfectly, and my favorite ones are Impulse and Tantalize. All though I'm used to the traditional lipstick bullet I don't mind carrying and using these lip palettes, and it's very easy to apply with the mini brush.

Wanderbeauty: Wanderlust Powder Foundation, Retractable Brush & On The Glow Bronzer Review and Swatches

Wander Beauty

Wanderlust Powder Foundation $40 for 0.31 oz.

On-The-Glow Bronzer Capri/Candle Glow $45 for 2x 0.11 oz.

Pixel Perfect Retractable Brush $36

Where to purchase: Sephora

Product info:

An innovative, hydrating, ultra-fine powder foundation with globally sourced, skin-loving ingredients that glide on and last all day. Wanderlust Powder Foundation provides full coverage with an incredibly natural-looking finish. The lightweight and ultra-fine powder absorbs excess oil and minimizes pores without ever looking cakey. It’s infused with aloe leaf extract to moisturize skin and restore suppleness while hibiscus flower extract evens out your skin tone and increases the look of your skin’s elasticity. It blends seamlessly with a flawless, natural-looking finish that never cracks. Wear it alone with the included anti-microbial rubicell applicator for full coverage, or layer on top of liquid or cream foundation to mattify skin. 

Wanderlust Powder Foundation and On-The-Glow Bronzer in Capri/Candle Glow are the two products I've been enjoying lately. First up is the Wanderlust Powder Foundation there is a total of five shades available:

• Fair
• Light
• Medium
• Tan
• Deep

I have the shade Tan which is a bit light for me, but the last shade is Deep and that will be too dark so I had to make it work hopefully Wander Beauty will add more shades in the future. Another Wander Beauty product that has a nice little twist on the packaging this compact comes with a mirror, powder puff and a lid that covers the powder, so it's less messy. I do use the powder puff sometimes,  it's very soft, and it does a great job at applying the foundation. The texture of this foundation is amazing! It's very soft, silky and velvety it's finely milled, I just love the consistency of this powder. This powder foundation is lightweight with a buildable coverage, and it has a matte finish, but it doesn't get cakey throughout the day or oxidize. If you have normal skin, you can get away with using just this powder foundation. It covers my dark circles, and it evens out uneven skin tone. I use this mostly under my eyes to set my concealer since it a lighter shade it works out perfectly, but sometimes I use a fluffy powder brush and lightly dust this on my T-zone which is where I tend to get oily. And since it has oil controlling properties it helps keep the oil at bay. This powder isn't drying, and it's very long lasting it literally kept my makeup in place all day. Wanderlust Powder Foundation is enriched with skincare ingredients, and it's also oil free, Paraben free, Phthalate free, Synthetic Fragrance-free, Talc-free, and Cruelty-free. 

Ingredients:

Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Silica, Boron Nitride, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Caprylyl Glycol, PDimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Water, Jojoba Esters, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract, Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77499)

Product info: 

A sleek brush with soft, dense, and high quality, two-tone synthetic bristles that sweep on a flawless finish and maximum coverage. 

Wander Beauty Pixel Perfect Retractable Brush is perfect for those who likes to touch up during the day. The packaging had a little issue I'm not sure if it's the one I received is faulty but it's a little loose like it can pop out at any giving moment. This brush can be used to apply a cream, powder, or liquid products to buff, blend, and stipple on the face or body. The bristles are synthetic it does blend out product seamlessly, and it's a perfect travel-friendly tool. I don't do a lot of touch ups with powder throughout the day I prefer using blotting paper, instead of powder, so I end up leaving this behind. Although it's very loose, I didn't notice any shedding, but I hope they will fix the packaging issue soon.  

Product info:

A dual-ended, multitasking bronzer and illuminator stick that creates a natural-looking tan and glowing look all year round. Each On-the-Glow Bronzer and Illuminator features a Candle Glow Illuminator shade that brings a golden glow to any complexion with HD pigments that blur skin imperfections. 

Wander Beauty On-The-Glow Bronzer has two shades Malibu/Candle Glow and Capri/Candle Glow. I received the shade Capri, both of the shades come with the same Candle Glow illuminator. Capri, it's a gorgeous, cool tone bronzer that suits medium to deep skin tones. And a highlighter Candle Glow illuminator it's a luminous gold shade. I love their on-the-go products it's a perfect multitasking product, and it's very easy to apply. The consistency of this product is very creamy it glides on effortlessly and blends like butter. I love how this bronzer looks on me it gives me a natural sun kissed glow, and I think this will look stunning on lighter skin tone as well. I find this bronzer/illuminator very hydrating due to the Hyaluronic Acid being one of the ingredients, so this will be ideal for those with dry skin. Some of the key ingredients are Vitamin A, C, and E, Collagen which helps with firmness and elasticity to the skin. On-the-glow bronzer lasted about 6-7 hours on me before it started fading. You can check out their website they demonstrated how the shades would look on different skin tones and different ways of applying this product.

Overall

The Wanderlust powder quickly became one of my favorite due to the matte finish If you have oily skin, you'll love this powder. The bronzer has the creamiest texture ever! And it's so easy to apply perfect for a busy mom like me. I'm loving both of these products the brush not so much since I don't touch up during the day I end up not using it much.

Tom Ford Beauty Spring 2017 Collection Shade and Illuminate Lips & Cheeks Swatches and Photos

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Lips and Cheeks 

Where to purchase: Nordstrom, Beautylish 

Top Row: Automatic, Impulse, Tantalize

Bottom Row: Possession, Nikita, Saboteur

Tom Ford launched a new collection featuring six Shade & Illuminate Lips ($60 for .12 oz.) and two cheeks ($80 for .49 oz.). When I first saw the pictures of the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Lips I thought they were eyeshadow duos but once I discovered they're lipstick duos I actually liked the looks of these, and I was very intrigued. I found the Shade & Illuminate Cheeks similar (color wise) to an earlier TF collection which contained two powder blush and highlighter duos Softcore and Stroked. I purchased three out of the six lips duos, and I decided to pass on the cheek duos. Keep reading to find out which shades I've bought and swatches of all six lips and two cheeks Shade and Illuminate duos! Review here

The texture of these lipsticks are amazing it felt very silky and soft also each, and every one of them are highly pigmented.

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Cheeks Swatches

All though I like Tom Ford cream products I had to pass on these two reason being they're not as pigmented as I expected them to be. I have a hard time working with cream blushes it seems to fade away rather quickly on my oily combination skin. The texture felt very light and creamy, and I can see this giving you a youthful glow, but I'm not sure about the longevity about this one. 

For me, I couldn't pass on the lip palettes, and I'm glad I didn't they're really worth looking into. The Cheek duos not so much. As I mentioned before I purchased three shades Automatic, Impulse and Tantalize which I will do a detailed review on shortly Review here. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoyed this quick sneak peek.

Loaded with shea butter and jojoba seed oil, this super creamy formula gently lifts away dirt and debris. This a non-foaming cleanser the consistency is creamy, and this cleanser helps remove some makeup, but not all, so I mostly use this during my morning routine or as a second cleanser during nighttime.

I must admit I'm not a big fan of the fragrance of this cleanser, but it does dissipate quickly.

I usually stay away from gritty scrubs, but this is so gentle and creamy in texture my skin loves it. I also love how my skin feels after using this product it gets rid of all the dead skin cells without irritating my skin and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft. I use this twice a week, and I think this is a great scrub for dry or sensitive skin it makes my skin glow afterward all the while hydrating my skin. I highly recommend this product, simple ingredients with impressive results.

Dr. Roebuck's Anti-Aging Face & Pure Moisturizer 

Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer- This is an anti-aging face cream with minimal ingredients that hydrates and calms sensitive skin. It's ideal for all skin types, and it's targeted for fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness. This is an another favorite product of mine I featured this on my Best Skincare of 2016 (here) I love using this during both day and night time routines this also wears well under makeup. This moisturizer contains rosehip oil, vitamin e, macadamia oil and lavender oil all of which helps soothe, calm, combat fine lines and repair the skin. This is very rich and creamy in texture, and a little goes a long way with this product. I have been using this for the past few months, and I've noticed whenever I use this moisturizer my skin looks amazing! There is a light fragrance it's like a mix of essential oils I find it very soothing. This is very potent it doesn't irritate or break me out, and it absorbs quickly. I can't rave enough about this product if you're in the market for a new deeply nourishing moisturizer look no farther this will be perfect for you! This is formulated with only eleven ingredients with no harsh chemicals added making this my one of my favorite moisturizer of all time. Face is also one of their best selling product. 

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Glycerin, Macadamia Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Polyacrylate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Alcohol, Natural Vitamin E, Sodium Benzoate, Rosehip Oil, Lavender Oil.

Dr. Roebuck's Anti-Aging Face & Pure Moisturizer

An original Dr. Roebuck’s formula, the PURE Face Moisturizer is crafted with naturally derived ingredients with calming and hydrating properties to soothe sensitive skin. Created to complement any serum, the formula combats flaky, eczema-prone skin with a unique, dual-action blend to nourish and soften the complexion. 

Pure Face Moisturizer- This is an ultra-hydrating, hypoallergenic cream packed with essential ingredients to nourish sensitive skin. It's good for all skin types. And it's targeted towards dryness, dullness and uneven texture. Pure was Dr. Roebuck's original formula which had been created as a natural and effective treatment for eczema. Pure is very thick in texture, but it doesn't clog pores, and although it blends in quickly it can be a little mattifying I think this would be ideal for warm weather and oily skin type. A little goes a long way with this product if you apply a thick layer it can leave a white cast on your face, but it does go away shortly. This moisturizer didn't break me out, and I did find it soothing however it is a bit drying it does contain Benzyl Alcohol and Paraffinum Liquidum so if you have sensitive skin do a patch test before applying. Also, I love using this as a hand cream I have a horrible habit of over washing my hands and it does wonders for my dry hands. 

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Glycerin, Paraffinum Liquidum, Stearic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid,* Benzyl Alcohol.* 

Dr. Roebuck's Anti-Aging Face & Pure Moisturizer

Overall

I love the backstory of this brand and what I love most about the brand is the amazing products and their concept which is Minimal Ingredients, Maximum result. Recently I started looking into the ingredients of the products that I've been applying on my skin, and it was an eye opener. All though I may not understand all of the ingredients however I'm more aware of them now, and I do my research before applying or recommending any products. I fell in love with some of Dr. Roebuck's products cause the ingredients were simple and very easy to follow. Also, the products helped improve the overall texture of my skin tremendously. The goal of this brand is to soothe, calm, repair and restore skin without adding any nasty chemical and fillers. All the products I've tried so far the results were effective this is a great brand with great products, and if you have sensitive skin, I suggest giving Dr. Roebuck's products a try. 

Have you tried any Dr. Roebuck's products? If you have, please leave a comment below, I would love to hear them.

With Less, You're More. Lilah B. Review, Swatches & Pictures

With Less, You're More. Lilah B. 

B. Stunning Palette Perfection Eye Quad $58 for 0.32 oz

B. Radiant Virtuous Veil Concealer & Eye Primer $44 for 0.12 oz

Where To Purchase: Lilah B. Barneys, Neiman Marcus

With Less, You're More. Lilah B.

I discovered a new brand that believes in Simple. Minimizing and Decluttering makeup. Lilah B. is a brand that's all about the effortlessly polished look with fewer products. Cheryl Yannotti Foland, the founder of Lilah B, worked with many beauty brands and helped with products launches, promotions, and marketing strategies to help their business grow. During that time, she realized the world of beauty is very cluttered, and it can be confusing at times. That's when she created Lilah B. a luxury brand with a minimalistic collection of color and simplified beauty routine. 

With Less, You're More. Lilah B.

Can we all pause for a min and just admire this stunning, unique packaging. The "pebble" like sleek, glossy packaging is what really makes this brand stand out, and that's what caught my attention. These little stones are pretty heavy, so it's not the best to carry in your makeup bag, but it is shattered proof which makes them very travel-friendly. Lilah B. products are formulated with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients. Enriched with aloe, agar, and other beneficial botanicals, luxury formulas that deliver a healthy, glowing finish. All Lilah B. products are formulated without Parabens, Phthalates, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrance and not tested on animals. 

B. Stunning Palette Perfection Eye Quad

B. Stunning Palette Perfection Eye Quad- There is a total of two quads in Lilah B. collection. B. Stunning quad contains four neutral brown shades, two matte shades, and two shimmering shades. The shadows are big enough to fit a blending or flat shadow brush. The consistency of the eyeshadows are soft, smooth and the colors are buildable. These shadows are pigmented and very blendable, I love that you can create a soft everyday look with just this palette. You can use the shadows wet or dry I prefer using them dry, and I love using the brown shadow as a liner you can also use it as a brow powder. I used the Virtuous Veil Concealer and Eye Primer under the shadows and the wear time was about 6-7 hours, and it started to fade after that.

B. Radiant Virtuous Veil Concealer & Eye Primer

B. Radiant Virtuous Veil Concealer & Eye Primer- This is available in three shades I picked Radiant which is the middle shade. The texture of this concealer is very creamy, lightweight, easy to blend, and it's a full coverage concealer it covers my dark circles very well. I love that I can use this as a primer it doesn't crease or settle into fine lines. This shade is a little bit light for me, but I'm hoping Lilah B. will add more shades in the future. B. Radiant is formulated with native essence, derived from sea fennel, which provides hydration, radiance and oxygen delivery for energizing and purifying benefits.

With Less, You're More. Lilah B.

Overall

Lilah B. products are quite luxurious and expensive with the eyeshadow quad being $58 and concealer $44, but the concept of this brand is a bit different cause in this day and age with contoured brows and cheeks being a trend it's nice to see something soft and subtle. I love my heavy glam looks, but I do like to tone it down time to time that's when Lilah B. products come in handy. I love the idea of these multi-purpose products, and now I'm even more intrigued to try out more products from this brand. 

Have you tried anything from this brand? Also, let me know if you'd like me to review anything else from this brand I would be happy to do so.
