ColourPop Ultra Matte Review

I got my order of ColurPop Ultra Matte lippies today...they are EVERYTHING. I am so impressed with the formula and staying power. They are so vibrant and have an amazing color payoff. "This thin and lightweight formula glides onto the lips smoothly and leaves SUPER intense pigment-rich colour with a bold, ultra matte look. It's very long wearing and completely kiss proof. Available in 25 shades!" says ColourPop. I am definitely sold on these. They will be perfect for fall!  Here are the three I ordered this time, but I surely intend on making another order in the future!

• Midi- soft neutral beige. This shade is a perfect nude for me! Much to my surprise, it is my favorite of the three I ordered.
• Succulent-neon orange red. This shade is really fun, playful, and bright.
• Creeper-classic true blue red. Creeper is a true red that will transition well into fall. 

For only $6 each, these are a steal! To get yours, visit colourpop.com and if you are making a first time order, use code THANKSBABE for $5 off. Hugs, kisses, and cupcakes...

August Avon review

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have partnered with Avon with the goal of preventing, fighting, and eventually curing breast cancer. This month I was sent two products to try out. The items I received were "Avon Dew Kiss: lip dew" and "Avon Ultra Luxury brow liner" in the shade dark brown.  I currently do not have any Avon products in my line up of beauty products but I was pleasantly surprised when I gave these products a try.

(In this photo I am wearing both products)

Avon Dew Kiss Lip Dew

This is a great lip balm if you are just looking for something moisturizing with no bells and whistles. It's not tinted but it does provide a great shine and my lips were noticeably more moisturized after just one days use. My only complaint is the odd perfume scent chosen for this product. To me, it was sort of off-putting to apply to my mouth and the scent is pretty strong. I plan to keep using this while I'm applying my makeup to provide some extra moisture then removing to apply my lipstick. 

Avon Ultra Luxury brow liner

I was very pleasantly surprised by this product. Currently I use "It Cosmetics Brow Powder" and I found this very comparable for a fourth of the price. It was expecting it to be sort of waxy like most pencils are, but it was like a powder in pencil form. For $5, this item is definitely worth trying. 

This button is clickable and takes you to an Avon e-store where a percentage of your sale will go to end breast cancer. It would mean a lot to me if you guys used that button and tried some of the amazing products Avon has to offer, while also walking hand in hand to prevent, fight, and cure breast cancer. 

Sending hope to the fighters, peace for the survivors, and prayers for the taken.

Fortune Cookie Soap "Old Hollywood" fall box review 2015

Hey cupcakes! I have been given the privileged of doing an early review of Fortune Cookie Soap's fall soap box themed "Old Hollywood." Their subscription soap box mails every three months (seasonally). The cost of the soap box is $19.99 comes eight sample items from that seasons launch AND a $10 off coupon code to be used on their e-store. This subscription is by far my favorite of all the ones I get. Let's get into what we got this month!

• "Famous" wax tart. [Warm amber, wild orchid, fluttering white cotton, sundried herbs] I love the cute little gliterry star shape of this wax tart and it smells AMAZING. It's a very sophisticated floral scent. Very feminine. 
• "Tommy Guns & Baseball Bats" whipped cream.[Hot apple pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, warm brown sugar, and marshmallow fluff]  For as complex as the scent description is, I honestly just get the marshmallow. If you liked "Krispy Kreme" you'll love this one.
• "Glitz & Glamour" OCD hand sanitizer.  [Wet moss, polished woods, creamy vanilla]I really enjoy this scent. It's a light woodsy smell with a hint of vanilla. This could easily translate as a unisex fragrance in my opinion.
• "Pearls and Girls" perfume oil. [Vanilla, wild jasmine, and juicy pear] First of all I love the cute packaging they sent the perfume oil in this time. The predominate note in this fragrance is jasmine, but you can definitely pick up on the pear as well.

• "Scandal" bath powder.[Creaking woods, wind blown leaves, rose thorns] One of my favorite fragrances of this collection. It just smells like fall. It's a gorgeous scent that makes you feel like eating a pumpkin pie and jumping into a pile of leaves.
• "Hollywood Dreams" shampoo bar. [Brown sugar, graham crackers, apple butter, nuts, and maple]  I don't like this one...at all. It smells exactly like apple spice oatmeal. In a shampoo this scent just doesn't work for me.
• "Dressed To Kill" fortune cookie soap. [red wine, vanilla, apples, and spice] It smells like warm apple cider to me. My fortune reads "Play it Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'."
• "American Royalty" pomade. [Rose milk, honey, tobacco, caramel, and mandarin] This one is my FAVORITE. It is very similar to a scent from the "Winter is Coming" collection called "The Hound" which was my all time favorite scent. This has a bit more of a smoke smell, but it is fall perfection.

So that's it guys, Fortune Cookie Soap did an amazing job on this fall box. The scents mesh so well together and will, without a doubt, have you counting down the days 'til fall. If you haven't signed up for their box, CLICK HERE to sign up now. I'm not sure if you can still get the fall box, but trust me...you want to be subscribed to this soap box. This is my third box and I've yet to be disappointed. I love you all, and don't forget to "follow" me to stay in the loop on all things beauty!
