Hey Guys,
I know its been FOREVER since my last blog post. Since my son was born I have struggled to find time to create content for Instagram nevermind time to write a whole blog post. Ever since my boyfriend went back to work my time in between nap periods is limited. I always have a bunch other things I need to do like the never-ending pile of laundry, trying to fit in a quick workout, and eating so blogging has taken a back seat. I recently found time to snap some pictures for reviews so I have a few in the works. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on the Morphe 2 Ready in 5 Eyeshadow Palette in Malibu. @sadiedaniels_ mentioned this palette on Instagram and it looked so pretty so I had to pick it up. Keep reading to see swatches and hear my thoughts!

Review: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink & Lip Cheat Liner in Love Trap


*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I may earn a small credit from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on some more Charlotte Tilbury products. I decided to try the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in the shade Penelope Pink since I loved how it looks on _WithSarah who is a fellow beauty influencer. I decided to purchase as a lip kit and get a lip liner to pair with it. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each!
Review: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink & Lip Cheat Liner in Love Trap


Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"Darlings, get this fail-safe recipe for perfect lips! My K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink features ingredients for full-bodied, plumped-up lips. This nude beige lipstick has subtle pink undertones, making it the perfect everyday shade.

WHAT MAKES K.I.S.S.I.N.G LIPSTICK MAGIC:

  • Perfect, full, kissable lips really do grow on trees!
  • The Lipstick Tree protects your lips from UV damage & oxidative stress to leave them soft, soothed & hydrated.
  • Light-diffusing pigments gives your lips a multi-dimensional finish to leave them look full-bodied and luminous.
  • The blend of waxes glides over your lips for a rich, buildable color.
  • Ideal for an everyday nude in a hydrating formula."
On to my thoughts:
While I loved how the lipstick looks on Sarah I do not love how it looks on me. She does pair Penelope Pink with a different lip liner Iconic Nude. I didn't love that combo on me and prefer it with the Love Trap shade that I purchased. The formula is much more satin/glossy and less opaque than the Matte Revolution lipstick formula. It apply more sheer and kind of patchy. I am also not in love with how the nude color looks on me. This just goes to show you that depending on your complexion, lip shape, etc makeup can look completely different on different people. I will say that this lipstick is definitely hydrating. 


Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"Darlings, lip liner is every woman’s backstage, red carpet, secret weapon! My Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Love Trap is a ‘90s-inspired peachy-brown shade. This nourishing, velvety-rich formula is the key to creating fuller, wider, perfected lips.

WHAT MAKES LIP CHEAT LIP LINER MAGIC:

  • Perfect your lip shape!
  • Smoothes over texture for a seamless line, so you can resize and reshape for a fuller pout.
  • Lasts up to 6 hours with no smudging*
  • Waterproof formula
  • Transfer resistant formula
  • Ideal for perfectly defined, colour-rich lips."
On to my thoughts:
I really like this lip liner and it is on par with the rest of the lip cheat liners that I own. The color is a really nice warm brown nude shade on me.

Review: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink & Lip Cheat Liner in Love Trap

Here are swatches of Penelope Pink and Love Trap:

You can save some money and purchase a K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick and Liner Kit that includes a lipstick and lip liner at a discount. 

Overall, I do not like the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink enough to justify the price that I paid. If I got it at Sephora I probably would have returned it but it was too much of a hassle to return directly to Charlotte Tilbury. I prefer the Matte Revolution formula way more and wish that I got a nude shade in that instead. I do recommend the lip cheat liner in Love Trap and think its a nice basic neutral shade.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on two more Charlotte Tilbury products; the Hollywood Flawless Filter and the Cheek to Chic Blush in Climax. I have wanted to try the Hollywood Flawless Filter for so long because so many people rave about it. I really like the two Cheek to Chic Blushes that I own so I decided to pick up another one. I wanted to make sure that was a way different color than the shades that I already own. I picked these up during the Black Friday sale and they came together in a kit.

Review: Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette

*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I will earn a small commission from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette. I picked it up during one of the BoxyCharm Pop Up Sales. I think that I only have one palettes that is all matte and its only 4 shades. I have hit pan in two of shades and have wanted to purchase this palette for a while. I am someone that ALWAYS hits pan in the lighter matte base and transition shades in a palette. During the weekday I tend to reach for 3 shadows. A matte skin tone or bone color (base shade), a matte light brown transition shade, and a shimmer shade for the lid. I often reach for my ColourPop Super Shock Shadows for lid shades and then use my other palettes for the matte shades. I have hit pan on so many lighter shades and am wearing down on many of my warm brown shades so I felt like this would be a palette that I would reach for a ton on a daily basis. Keep reading to hear more about this palette!

Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette $48.00
Review: Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette
Here is what is said about this palette on the Dominique Cosmetics site:
"Life is complicated, but makeup doesn’t have to be thanks to Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette. Keep things simple with this versatile, multi-use palette. Define, contour, brighten, and highlight with a range of warm to cool neutral shades with a matte finish. Play up your eyes. Enhance your brows. Choose daytime no-makeup makeup looks or go sultry, smoky glam—these blendable, longwearing pigments can do it all."

Review: Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette
Here are some tips on how and where to use each shade:
  • Brighten with Natural and Frothy.
  • Contour/bronze with Toffee, Cinnamon, Coffee Beans, Blushing, Carmel, Mocha, and Hazelnut.
  • For blush, use Blushing, Chai, Cinnamon, Soft N’ Sweet.
  • Fill in brows with Coffee Beans, Ash, Mocha, Coal, Toffee, and Cinnamon.
Here is a close up of the shades:
Review: Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette

Frothy: Cream with a matte finish
Toffee: Warm tan with a matte finish
Blushing: Warm peach with a matte finish
Coffee Beans: Deep brown with a matte finish
Ash: Cool gray with a matte finish
Natural: Nude peach with a matte finish
Honey: Vintage yellow with a matte finish
Chai: Berry rose with a matte finish
Hazelnut: Spiced terracotta with a matte finish
Coal: Dark brown-black with a matte finish
Carmel: Light taupe with a matte finish
Soft N’ Sweet: Mauve with a matte finish
Cinnamon: Burnt brown with a matte finish
Mocha: Chocolate brown with a matte finish
Smokey: Rich black with a matte finish

Here are swatches of the shades:
Review: Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette

On to my thoughts:
I do like that this is a multi-use palette. The fact that you can use it as shadow, blush, contour, and brow powder makes it very versatile. I most likely will only use it as shadow but its a great palette to travel with or for someone that doesn't have a ton of different beauty products. The shadows are very pigmented and blend very nicely. I have been reaching for it a ton. I really have nothing negative to say with my experience so far. My only wish is that there was one more matte brown shade that was on the warmer side. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye and Blush Duo. I picked up this kit during the summer sale. I actually thought that it was on sale for a larger discount than it was. The discount is actually 20% and its one of her normal bundles . There are a bunch of different bundles offered on her site that allow you to try more than one of her products at a discount. I was going to return it since I thought that I purchased it at 40% off but decided to just keep it since I've wanted to for a while. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this duo!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye & Blush Duo $74.40

Review: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye & Blush Duo

As I mentioned above, this bundle is a 20% savings vs buying the two products separately. You save $18.60. You are also able to choose between the Original Pillow Talk Blush and the Pillow Talk Intense Blush. I have both blushes so I will share swatches and reviews of each below.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury lip kit that I purchased during her summer sale. If you haven't read my review of her Bigger, Brighter Eye Tricks Bundle you can check it out HERE. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on the two products in this lip kit!

Review: Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lip Kit
During the Summer Sale they had a special lip bundle that they called Charlotte's Iconic Matte Lip Kit  which was 40% off. I paid $33.60 for the kit. The Matte Revolution Lipsticks are normally $34.00 and the Lip Cheat Liners are $22.00. The bundle was essentially the Matte Revolution Lip Kit but with a bigger discount. The Matte Revolution Lip Kit is $50.50 and you get to  pick the Matte Revolution Lipstick and Lip Cheat Liner for your kit. You are saving $4.50 (10%) with the kit that is currently on her site. You can get an additional 10% discount by subscribing to Charlotte Tilbury marketing emails. 

I decided to pick up this lip kit because it was a great deal and I have wanted to try the Very Victoria lipstick for quite a while. I decide to pair it with the Hot Gossip liner for my kit.

Hey Guys,
It's been a while since I've purchased Charlotte Tilbury products but I finally picked up some more! Last year I purchased my first Charlotte Tilbury products including the infamous Pillow Talk lipstick. You can read my review (HERE). I've had my eyes on some of her other products for quite a while. Her brand is considered a "luxury" brand and the prices can be pretty expensive. That is why I have waited to make another purchase. There was a pretty big summer sale on the brands website last week. She doesn't offer big discounts that often so I decided to take advantage. I picked up two bundles and one other product. Today I will be reviewing her Bigger, Brighter Eye Tricks Bundle. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on the products in this bundle!

Review: Charlotte Tilbury Bigger, Brighter Eye Tricks Bundle
The bundle was created specifically for her sale and is no longer available. The bundle was 40% off which made it $64.20 ($107.00 value). It included the Bigger Brighter Eyes Exagger-eyes Palette, an Eyes To Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow of your choice, and a The Classic Eye Powder Pencil in either black, dark brown, or shimmering brown. Below I will discuss each product in the bundle.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Kaja Beauty Bento Bouncy Eyeshadow Trios. I have wanted to try these little compact shadows for a while and finally picked them up a few months ago. I shared one of them on Instagram and loved it so much that I purchased a couple more. I am traveling soon and originally planned to bring one larger eyeshadow palette with me. After I purchased a new toiletry bag I decided that I was going to only bring one bag for all of my makeup and skincare. The best way to succeed at that is to bring smaller items. That is when I decided to pick up more of these little trios. Keep reading to hear more about these Bouncy Eyeshadow Trios and to see swatches of each.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Tartelette Juicy Palette. Its been quite a while since I purchased a palette or a bunch of makeup in general. I have always been a fan of Tarte shadows and their Tartelette palettes especially.  I have owned all of them at one point or another. This palette isn't brand new but it is their newest one that they have launched. I decided to pick it up because the colors seem like a good range of neutrals that you could use on a daily basis.

 Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the Jaclyn Cosmetics Poutspoken Liquid Lipsticks and Lip Liners. I wasn't able to grab any during her initial launch because they sold out in minutes. However, I was able to grab a few during her restock a few weeks ago. Both products are currently only available on the Jaclyn Cosmetics website but will launch at Ulta in May.

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Jaclyn Cosmetics Bronze & Blushing Duo that I picked up when it launched at Ulta. I planned to grab two duos but the other one that I wanted sold out instantly. If you are unfamiliar with Jaclyn Cosmetics, its is a brand owned and run by beauty YouTuber Jaclyn Hill. She has had three different product launches over the past few years. The first of lipsticks was a complete disaster and she faced alot of back lash because of it. (I personally really liked her lipsticks). Her second launch was different forms of highlighters. These were well received and customers begged for her to make these limited edition products permanents. You can check out my review of the Flash Palette HERE. She recently launched a quick Valentine's Day collection and then announced these duos. Her new collection consists of 7 blush and bronzer duos. She also launched single highlighters the most popular shades in limited edition highlighter collection.

    On to my thoughts:
    These shadows aren't super pigmented at first swipe but more buildable. The shimmers are definitely more pigmented than the mattes and apply best with your finger. I actually used a Pixi Endless Shade Stick on my lids first with both that looks that I created with these Eye Effects palettes. Doing so helps the shimmer look even more pigmented on the lids. I was really happy with the look that I created using this palette. You can check it out on my IG reels HERE and HERE.

    On to my thoughts:
    This palette is also pretty but the dark pink blush isn't my favorite. I prefer more subtle blushes like the second blush in this palette. Both highlighters are so pretty. The lighter highlighter works better for a highlight on me and the more pinkish purple highlighter would be better as a blush topper or eyeshadow.

    Overall, I really like all four palettes. While not every shade in every palette worked for me; there are definitely some gorgeous shades in each palette! However, if I had to pick which palette type that I would recommend more I would say the Nuance Quartettes. They are more versatile considering that you can use them on your face and your eyes. My favorite of the bunch is definitely Honey Nectar.

    Hey Guys,

    Today I'm going to share my favorite ColourPop Super Shock Shadows. For those of you unfamiliar with ColourPop, they are a USA based affordable and cruelty free beauty brand. Located in California, ColourPop manufacturers all of their own products locally. They are one of my favorite affordable beauty brands and have been around since 2013/2014. They have a full range of complexion and color products as well as sister brands that cover skincare and bodycare. The first product that they launched was their Super Shock Shadow. These shadows came in a large range of finishes and has a unique bouncy texture. They are super pigmented and last all day without creasing. The best part is that the shadows only cost $6.00 each! I have gathered quite a large collection of Super Shock Shadows over the years. They are my favorite shadows to use on my lid or as a lid topper over other shadows. They are also awesome for creating a quick look with one shadow swiped across the lids. The shadows apply the best and most pigmented using your finger to apply them to the lids.

    Favorite ColourPop Super Shock Shadows
    For some reason, they don't offer as many finishes as they used to. I really hope that they release more finishes like before. I wanted to share my favorite super shock shadows that I own because I think they are a really great product and very affordable. I have hit pan on most of them and always replace my favorites if they are still being made. Ulta carries a small selection of Super Shock Shadows as well. I just saw some on sale the other day for $3.50 each!

    Hey Guys,
    Today I'm going to share a brand I'm really excited about. The brand is called treStique and they are all about simple and quick beauty. I heard about the brand years ago when I got a mini shadow stick of theirs in my Ipsy Glam Bag. I remember really liking the product and even including it in one of my monthly favorites. Flash forward to 2020 I was re-introduced to treStique and I looked into it some more. I was very intrigued by the whole idea of "simple quick beauty". I have never been able to do my makeup quickly but with COVID and wearing less makeup in general, I really liked the idea of this. Their products are meant to be quick and easy for the mom or woman on the go or for someone that just doesn't want to spend a lot of time doing their makeup. treStique products are about convenience and are meant to enhance your natural beauty. The product lines cover everything from foundation, concealer, shadow/liner/mascara, brows, bronzer, concealer, and lip products. You can purchase these products individually or in sets. They even have mini sets if you don't want to commit to the full sizes just yet. The best part, all treStique products are super travel friendly!
