Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition has officially launched, and it includes their best sellers Le Rouge Lipstick in N315 Framboise ($40 for 0.12oz) and Prisme Libre Loose Powder in N01 Mousseline Pastel ($60 for 0.42 0z). Both products are encased in a Limited Edition genuine leather couture case that's dressed in a floral pattern.
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
For this Spring, the theme for Givenchy seems to be lush moody florals I say moody cause the black background against the floral patterns gives off a dark vibe. I love the packaging and I wanted to learn more about the collection, but there was not enough information available. So, I did a little research, and I came across Givenchy 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection, which had similar floral prints. The floral patterns are almost identical but the Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition has more vibrant colors, and the flowers are slightly different. I'm not sure if the 2013 collection were the main inspiration for this recent Couture collection, but there is some resemblance. I have collected a few images from Vogue so you can have a look.

Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
Now that we have learned a little about the Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition collection let's talk about the products. Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder in N01 Mousseline Pastel is an iconic loose powder that helps achieve a mattified yet radiant complexion. This is a fusion of four complimentary, complexion refining shades that together, create a made-to-measure, color correcting finish. There are five shades available, but only N01 comes in the limited edition packaging. Prisme Libre Loose Powder is housed in a sturdy, thick plastic jar, twist to unlock the top and inside you'll find a soft powder puff. The signature logo screen releases the perfect amount of each shade, allowing you to easily blend colors together for a sheer natural result. N01 Mousseline Pastel powder has a mix of pastel green, blue, lilac, and a creamy white shade. This powder is finely milled, it has a silky smooth texture, it's exceptionally lightweight, and it sets your foundation and concealer without any caking or creasing. I have a travel size of this powder (review here) which I really like, but during summer when I get a tan this shade is a bit light for me. Although it's almost transparent, during summer, when I'm much darker you can tell I used a powder that's too light for my complexion which is not so flattering. I do love the consistency of this powder it really helps give you a smooth base, it doesn't cling to any dry patches and it did a pretty good job at keeping the oil at bay. For someone with my skin tone, I would prefer the shade 2 or 3 but if you have pale to medium light skin tone, N01 should be a great match for you. This Powder is lightly scented I kind of like the fresh scent, it's not too overpowering, and it dissipates quickly.

Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition
Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition Lipstick in N315 Framboise is a bright raspberry semi-matte shade. Le Rouge lipsticks are lightweight, highly saturated with intense yet wearable pigments, and the formula has a soft buttery texture that glides on the lips like a dream. I'm a huge fan of Givenchy lipsticks the luxurious leather packaging is to die for. The comfortable, long wearing, velvety, and the ultra-smooth formula doesn't dry out my lips. Despite the creamy texture, it didn't smudge or bleed I didn't use a lipliner and it was very easy to outline my lips. N315 Framboise is not a new shade however it is new to me. I'm not a big fan of bright berry shade lipsticks and even though this shade is very Spring appropriate, this isn't something I would normally reach for. I would say this lipstick is more of a collector item, for me at least, but If you're someone who loves rocking bold, bright pink lipsticks then you'll definitely love this. Framboise started fading after 4-5 hours, and it left a light pink stain behind. This lipstick is also lightly scented but once applied it's almost undetectable.

Givenchy 2018 Rouge Couture Edition Lipstick in N315 Framboise
Final Verdict:
This collection was a hit and miss for me the beautiful packaging is definitely a hit, but I wish the powder and lipstick had more shades to choose from so that way everyone would feel included. If you read my previous review of the Prisme Libre Loose Powder then you know how much I like that product it doesn't accentuate dry spots or set in fine lines and a little goes long way so one jar will last you a long time. The packaging also makes this powder very travel-friendly. Since summer is coming up and I will get much darker so I was thinking of purchasing the shade 2 and giving it a try. As for the lipstick, it's simply beautiful, but I'm more of nude or coral lipstick type-of-gal so its a nay for me.
What are your thoughts on the collection? Is it a yay or a nay? Feel free to leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts.

Kjaer Weis
Cream Blush in Sun Touched ($56 for 0.123 fl. oz)
Lip Balm ($50 for 0.13 fl. oz)
Kjaer Weis was founded by Kristen Kjaer Weis, who's a Newyork based makeup artist, she worked around the world for some of the most renowned fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire. As an in-demand makeup artist, Kirsten found that people were sacrificing the health of their skin by using irritating, synthetic makeup. The natural products, however, were not up to par in performance, and the luxury of the beauty experience was lost. Kirsten used her experience growing up in a natural environment and her knowledge of beauty to pursue uncharted territory in the industry, creating Kjaer Weis - a pioneer in organic, luxury beauty.
Kjaer Weis is leading the movement with high-performing, luxury makeup that is, as everything should be, organic and sustainable.

Kjaer Weis Cream Blush in Sun Touched
KW Sun Touched cream blush is a beautiful warm peachy coral shade and it's great for medium-dark skin with neutral or golden undertones. The blush comes in a heavy metal architectural design compact and the cover slides open to reveal the pan. The consistency is very creamy, lightweight and it's highly pigmented so you only need a few dots on the apple of your cheeks for a youthful, glowy sun-kissed look. I like to use my fingers to apply the blush the warmth of my fingers helps melt the product which helps blend out the blush seamlessly. The texture has some tackiness to it without it being too sticky. My cheeks are very dry and I find this cream blush extremely hydrating and it doesn't cling to any dry patches. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this blush performed. I usually have trouble with cream blushes fading midday, however, this is very long lasting it wore for 8-9 hours before it started fading. Here are some of the key ingredients:
Jojoba Seed Oil- Adds moisture to the skin.
Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil- Excellent tissue regeneration properties; fights signs of aging.
Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract- Antioxidant; works as a natural preservative.

Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl
0.21 oz for 30.00
Product Info:
Under the artistic direction of Nicolas Degennes, Givenchy has created Gloss Interdit Vinyl, a gloss with medium coverage for high-shine, naturally-voluminous-looking lips. Shiny and luminous to the extreme, this formula offers a magnetic and sensual result. Thanks to the black rose oil in the formula, lips remain soft and supple with an absolute feeling of comfort. The foam end of this innovative applicator is stamped with a G to take up more product for a pleasant, even spread of color over the lips. G for Givenchy, G for Glossy, G for Glamour—Gloss Interdit Vinyl signs a new way of applying lip gloss. At once simple and precise, it sheathes the lips in dazzling color with a single stroke, making it a must-have for beauty addicts everywhere.
Givenchy recently launched some amazing new products their newest addition is the Gloss Interdit Vinyl. There are a total of twelve shades and Givenchy was kind of enough to send me three shades for review purpose. As usual, Givenchy did a phenomenal job with the packaging these glosses are housed in a sleek tube with a doe foot applicator that has the most intricate G stamped. Despite the beautifully stamped applicator, I did find it a bit hard to work with. It's hard to contour the lips perfectly since the applicator doesn't pick up the product evenly so, I have to be more careful with the application. The texture is amazing it's non-sticky, no bleeding and it feels very comfortable on the lips, it also has a high shine. The coverage is sheer to medium with one swipe you get a sheer wash of color or you can apply a few coats for an opaque finish. All three shades have beautiful shimmer however, it's undetectable once applied to the lips, with the exception of Rouge Thiller. There is also a strong fragrance although, It doesn't linger on I can see this being an issue for some who are sensitive to strong fragrances. One other thing I noticed there's an odd taste to the gloss I can only describe it as being soapy and I'm not a big fan of that.
Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl
12 Rouge Thriller- a warm undertone red that has a lustrous finish. This is highly pigmented and I love how plumped my lips look with this gloss. It lasted about 4-5 hours before it started fading and it did leave a light stain behind.
09 Crazy In Rose- a milky pastel pink shade, this is a great option if you're not into bold, bright colors. This shade is not as pigmented as Rouge Thriller but with two coats you can achieve an medium coverage. This shade lasted about 3-4 hours before it started fading and it left a light pale pink stain behind.
16 Noir Revelateur- this is made-to-measure color booster that reacts to skin’s pH for a result that is totally different from one woman to another. Noir Révélateur is an audacious shade that enhances the natural tone of lips with an enigmatic depth. I love this shade its such a unique gloss that looks dark in the tube, however, once applied it turns into a beautiful light berry shade on the lips. It's a very wearable shade, you can wear it alone or apply it over any lipstick or lipliner to intensify its color. It lasted 4-5 hours before it started fading and it left a pretty pink stain behind.

Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl
Final Verdict:
I'm not a big fan of glosses but lately, I do find myself reaching for glosses more instead of liquid lipsticks. I think it has to do with the weather being so cold and drying and these glosses are surprisingly very hydrating. The Givenchy glosses have been on rotate for the past few weeks, I absolutely love the formula it's not tacky, it's beautifully pigmented and the shades are very easy to wear. These spectacular shimmering shades of Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl have the options for both neutral or bold lipgloss lovers. If I had to pick one shade I would say my favorite shade is Rouge Thriller, it performed the best out of all three and I think this red gloss will flatter all skintone.

- Laura Mercier Body Souffle Body Creme $60- This luxurious ultra whipped body creme will definitely put a smile on your mom's face. I received a set of Laura Mercier's Body Souffle last year, and I've been obsessed ever since. Each and every souffle's smells amazing, and it's very hydrating as well.
- BP Scalloped Faux Leather Tote $49- Both my mom and mom in law loves tote bags, and this is a great affordable one. This tote bag comes in four colors, and since it's faux leather, it's not very high maintenance perfect for everyday use. Also, I love the scalloped topline it's such a cute trendy bag.
- A few other options I wanted to include which I think will make a perfect gift for any moms Slip Silk Pillowcase $79, Fresh In The Buff Bundle and Chloe Drew Square Zip-Around Wallet.
These are my top picks for this year's Mother's Day Gift Guide hope you'll find this helpful. And I Hope you all have an amazing Mother's Day with your moms and your grandmothers.

With Less, You're More. Lilah B.
B. Stunning Palette Perfection Eye Quad $58 for 0.32 oz
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.

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.

Kevyn Aucoin Bloodroses Eyeshadow Palette
Price $58.00 for 5 x 0.95g 0.035 oz each
Fall is the absolute favorite season of mine cause along with the Pumpkin Spice Latte (basic!) and sweater weather I get to enjoy all the fun new fall makeup collections. Kevyn Aucoin's brand new Bloodroses Eyeshadow Palette is just what I needed this fall. I always had my eyes on the Bloodroses eyeshadow duo so when I saw a 5 pan palette was being launched I didn't think twice before hitting that order button. Let's start with the packaging, it's simply stunning I love the ombre effect with the gold trimming and inside the compact, there is a pretty decent size mirror. The eyeshadow palette is also perfect for traveling since it's very lightweight and compact.
This five pan palette is perfectly put together, it's a mix of mattes and shimmers which provide endless combinations to highlight, contour and define the eyes and it can transition easily from day to night. It's formulated with micronized powder pigments and pearls for a smooth application. You may use these eyeshadows as a sheer wash of color or use it with a damp brush to intensify the colors. The texture of these eyeshadows is ultra smooth and buttery which makes it very easy to blend, It's also very long lasting without any creasing or fading. All five eyeshadows are very pigmented but the shade Deep Plum was a little patchy, Garnet and Iced Chestnut was the easiest to work with. The matte shades are a little bit powdery which can cause fall outs but patting down the eyeshadow on the lids will help avoid the fall outs.
- Cream- It's a matte vanilla shade, perfect for brow bone highlight.
- Iced Chestnut- It's a shimmery taupe shade with a satin finish.
- Dusty Rose- It's a beautiful soft pink shade with a matte finish.
- Garnet- It's a gorgeous burgundy shade with a satin finish. This one is my favorite one out of all five eyeshadows.
- Deep Plum- It's a deep rich plummy shade with a matte finish. I love the flecks of glitter in this shadow, even though you loose some of the shimmers during application it's not completely gone.
Now let's take a close look at all five eyeshadows and swatches!

If you own the Bloodroses eyeshadow duo or any other KA eyeshadows then you already know how amazing KA eyeshadows are. I truly love Kevyn Aucoin products and use them on a daily basis so for me, this palette was totally worth purchasing.

Let's be honest there is always room for another reddish burgundy eyeshadow palette to give you all the right fall vibes. If you are planning on heading to a KA counter soon be sure to check out this palette, also the new foundation they're launching which I have to get my hands on asap! Hope this review will help you make a decision. happy shopping!
