These are products from the Life of The Party collection. I have a really cute Eyeshadow duo and the perfect lip shade. It is the Dependable lipstick in "Raving Red"



Now this wouldn't be complete if I wasn't able to give you a surprise! I am going to give you an exclusive look at some upcoming shades from an unannounced collection! They are gorgeous and would be magnificent in Fall! Here is a Mini eyeshadow Palette and Sweetheart lipstick from the mystery set!

I am sure you want to know more about this brand, so I will give you my opinions. The shadows are buttery and super pigmented. They blend so easily too, they are ideal for any skill level! There is a wide variety of shades in the collections making it Possible for anyone to find a product they love.
Here is a quick day to night look I did using only Blend It Like Becker shadows

The lip products are great as well. My favorite is the Dependable formula. It is long lasting and really pigmented. It feels like the Ofra formula or the Tartiest Lip Paint formula, if you need a comparison.
The Brilliant formula is wonderful. I HATE glosses but this formula does not bother me at all. It is hydrating and not at all sticky! The color is buildable too! The Sweetheart Lipstick formula is a cream lipstick with a Semi-Matte finish, which is great for those who find mattes uncomfortable.

Check out these amazing products for yourself, you won't regret it. I will mention that I receive a small commission if you choose to use my code. My review and opinions are my own and in no way biased.

Colourpop Haul

I am completely in love with all things Colourpop. If you are not privy to this brand I will give you some important little details.
Colourpop is:
1. Amazing
2. The best
3. Inexpensive/ Affordable
4. High quality
5. Cruelty Free
6. Made in L.A.

You can buy their products on their website and soon at Sephora as well!!!!

This is a photo of my recent haul. I will give details in this post on all but the Fem Rosa "She" and "I Think I Love You" Palettes because those will be in an upcoming review. I bought everything on sale but the 2 palettes.

Colourpop has 2 Types of Eyeshadow. They have Super Shock and Pressed. The Super Shock formula is in a jar like container that must be closed up tight so they don't dry out. They have a sort of creamy texture to them. The Pressed shadows come in pans that can be added to empty magnetic palettes for safe keeping.

This is the Mile High Super Shock shadow collection. Pictures do not do these justice. "So Quiche" has a purple glitter that is hard to capture in photo! I picked this up on sale for $12.50, there is 6 shadows total.The packaging is great too, it is a hard magnetic case that features a mirror inside.

I also snagged the Peachy Keen Super Shock Shadow quad. This quad has 3 mattes and one shimmer shade. It is a very cohesive collection that if used together an make a complete shadow look.

I also picked up 3 individual Super Shock Shadows that were on sale. They are more subtle shades perfect for everyday use.

Next are the individual Pressed eyeshadows I bought. Because I got 4 I received a free empty palette to keep them in. Freebie number one in my haul =]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now onto my lip products. I Bought several types in this haul: Ultra Glossy Lip, Ultra Matte Lip, Lippie Stix, and Lippie Pencil.

This is the Shake, Rattle, and Roll Lip kit. It has Viper Ultra Matte Lippie, Sauce Lippie Stix, and Viper Lippie Pencil.

This the Persuade Me Lippie Stix collection. It has 6 colors and was also only $12.50!

Here is the Staycation Lippie Stix collection, also picked up for $12.50!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colourpop was celebrating 5 Million Followers on Instagram when I made this order. So I received 5 limited edition products for free!

I received a Cheek product, Eyeshadow, and 3 lip products!

I also received a free Gel Eyeliner. How?  Colourpop deemed the time they took to send/process my order too long. So I received a "sorry we are late" gift. So if you have to wait on your order a little longer have no fear they send you a goodie to make up for it.

Which is your favorite product from colourpop?

Bare Minerals' New Bare Pro Liquid Foundation

Am I the only person who has issues finding a great foundation in the correct shade? Okay obviously I can possibly be the only one! Well I recently had the pleasure of receiving the Brand New Bare Pro Performance Wear Liquid Foundation by Bare Minerals for free from Influenster for testing purposes. Yes I got the product free but I promise this is my honest opinion of this foundation.

So let me tell you a bit about the product before I go into my opinion on it.
According to the card that came with my foundation this offers 24 -hour wear that improves the appearance of skin texture over time while blurring pores and imperfections. It also contains ingredients that are good for your skin such as Papaya Enzymes and Bamboo Stem Extract. This foundation is also humidity, water, and sweat resistant with non-chemical SPF 20! So what does that mean for you and me? There's ingredients to help protect our skin while keeping us looking flawless; rain or shine. kinda nifty right? This foundation line comes in 30 shades and has a natural matte finish.
Now lets move onto my favorite part... my opinion!

So before I received my foundation I had to choose a shade based on some pictures of the foundation which was pretty hard, since as I mentioned before I am terrible at choosing foundation! I chose the shade Camel 17. Above is a picture of it just straight applied and then of it blended into my wrist. Based on that you can see it looks maybe a bit too yellow. I went to Sephora and they matched me with Natural 11, in all honestly it blended in and felt a bit pale to me even though it did match. Anyways back to Camel 17! I am going to post a couple of pictures of me wearing it on one side of my face. Its a bit scary to do so. But you have to see how magical this formula is. The formula adjusts to your skin tone, so if you choose a shade that is wrong you did not necessarily waste your investment because the shade seems to shift and balance with your skin tone. Okay here goes nothing...

One side has the foundation the other does not.

So all that I have on here is one layer of Bare Pro in Camel 17.  What is amazing is my imperfections don't show up as vividly as the bare side and the "wrong match" matches!!! I am talking 6 shades off works for me! Crazy right?!

Now I wanted to show you that this formula builds to maximize coverage! The foundation covers and still looks completely natural ! I don't know about you but that is something I definitely love in a foundation! This foundation is way pigmented and a little goes a long way! I used half a pump on my whole face and got a great even  medium coverage. Remember its easier to build up your coverage to full from medium then to go the opposite route. It feels like you have nothing on your face which may trick you into thinking you need more. But trust me you do not. I highly recommend giving this a shot. If you don't want to drop $30 on a product you haven't tried just go to your local Sephora, get color matched and ask for a sample to try it out. Trust me though its an amazing formula. Another tip is to use a thick brush with this. Either the Bare Minerals Luxe Performance brush or an oval brush work very well. I find that my beauty blender does not work very well with this foundation because it doesn't blend it out right and makes me look a little cakey!
Here is the foundation when I have on a full face of makeup.
