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.

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Morphe x Madison Beer Channel Surfing Artistry Palette that I picked up last month. I have seen a lot of good reviews of this palette and have wanted to pick it up for a while. This palette was already very affordable to begin with. However, Ulta had it on sale so I was able to get it for even less and use some of my Ulta points toward the purchase. After all the discounts and points I believe that I got this for about $7.00.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to review the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill The Eye Master Collection. I didn't jump on this collaboration when it first launched. I have so many brushes and just didn't feel like I needed more. However, I recently had a Ulta gift card, took advantage of the 20% off coupon, and  decided to pick this up. Keep reading to learn more about this collection and to hear my thoughts!

 This brush collection was hand picked by Jaclyn Hill and includes her favorite eye brushes. She also came out with a face collection too which you can check out HERE. Both sets are exclusive to Ulta.

Hey Guys,

Last week I discussed Morphe's 8W Warm Master Palette that you can check out HERE. This week I am back to review two of the Morphe Blushing Babes Trios. Keep reading to learn more about these trios, see swatches, and to hear my thoughts on them!

Here is what is said on the Ulta site about this product:

"Show your true colors with this collection of Morphe Blushing Babes Blush Trio's for your most flattering flush. Give your cheeks a little pink-me-up with creamy mattes and silky, shimmery satins. This collection of sassy blush trios in sweet shades slays every look with a blendable formula and wearable, oh-so-you shades"

Morphe Babes Blushing Babes Trios in Pop of Coral $12.00

Pop of Coral:

• Boss (matte melon)
• Fierce (glimmering vibrant coral)
• Unapologetic (matte burnt ginger)

These colors are super pretty! I have been using this palette more than the Pop of Rose. Boss has been a little light for me as I have been pretty tan. However, as my tan fades it will show up better on my skin. Unapologetic is my favorite color from this duo. Its such a pretty neutral shade and I love matte blushes. Fierce gives a pretty glow but its not as pigmented or soft as the shimmer blushes in the 8W palette. 

Review: Morphe 24G Palette

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Morphe 24G palette. I originally wanted the Morphe 39A palette but it was limited edition and sold out on both the Ulta and Morphe sites. When this palette came out, I thought it was nice but wanted to wait until it was for sale on the Ulta site so that I could take advantage of my rewards and their coupons. I recently picked it up during the Ulta 20% off sale and am reading to share my thoughts!

Morphe 24G Grand Glam Palette $29.00

Here is what is said about this palette on the Morphe site:
"Rock endless looks with the Morphe 24G Grand Glam Eyeshadow Palette, featuring 24 crazy-creamy, powerfully pigmented eyeshadows. Day or night, wet or dry, these neutral and bronze shades go the distance. And since a Morphe Babe loves to play, Morphe sized these matte and metallic wonders up 2.2x for double the pleasure."

Morphe's website also gives some tips for using these shadows:

"DOUBLE DUTY 

These eyeshadows can give you a highlight high that works with your complexion
Glazed (fair-to-light skin tone)
·         Crystal (medium skin tone)
·         Dream (medium-to-dark skin tone)

Bronze OR contour with:
·         Creamer (fair-to-light skin tone)
·         Frenchy (medium skin tone) 
·         Mojo (medium-to-dark skin tone)
PRO TIP: Glitz not only provides a pop of color for your eyes, it also can werk as a blush!"

November Favorites

Hey Guys,

I can't believe how quick November has come and gone! My holiday shopping is almost done and I have to start wrapping! That is my least favorite part of Christmas shopping. I am super excited to celebrate Christmas with my family; especially my nephews who are 6 and 2 years old. My youngest nephew is just beginning to understand "Santa" and that we will be bringing gifts to him if hes a good boy. He just got Elf on the Shelf but doesn't quite understand that yet haha. I have time off after Christmas and am looking forward to some relaxation. Anyways..back to my November favorites...

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Galaxy

I really love the Rimmel Lip Lacquers. I have a bunch of them. Galaxy is a mauve color that is great for the fall. I have been wearing this often.

Review: Morphe 35O Palette

Hey Guys,

As many of you know, Morphe has blown up in the beauty/blogger industry due to their relationships with big time beauty bloggers like Jaclyn Hill and Manny. They have helped spread the word about Morphes amazing brushes and eyeshadows. Recently released was the Morphe 35O palette which quickly sold out. They got more stock in recently and I was lucky enough to place and order and have it filled. I have been using this palette non stop! Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette and to see some looks that I have created with it.

Morphe 35O Palette $22.99

Here are swatches of the shadows:

Here are some looks that I created:

Crease: Row 5 Column 6

Inner Corner: Row 3 Column 6

Lower Lash Line: Row 2 Column 7 & Row 3 Column 7 

Brow Bone: Row 1 Column 1

Transition/Crease: Row 3 Column 1 & Row 2 Column 6

Lid: Row 2 Column 3 & Row 3 Column 6

Inner Corner: Row 3 Column 6

Lower Lash Line: Row 3 Column 1 & Row 2 Column 6

Brow Bone: Row 1 Column 1

Transition/Crease: Row 3 Column 1 & Row 3 Column 4

Lid: Row 1 Column 2 & Row 3 Column 6
Crease: Row 3 Column 5 & Row 4 Column 5

Inner Corner: Row 1 Column 3

Lower Lash Line: Row 4 Column 4 & Column 5

Overall I am really loving this palette! All of the shadows are super pigmented and blendable. They do have some fallout in the pan due to the fact that they are so soft. I haven't had any fallout on my face when using the shadows. This palette is very warm with a BUNCH of similar different browns. There are many similar colors but that is obvious just by looking at the pictures of the palette. I tend to gravitate towards neutrals and browns so that really doesn't bother me. If you aren't into warm or neutral tones then I would skip on this palette. It is a GREAT palette for the fall. Plenty of burnt oranges, reds, and browns. I would recommend this palette to anyone that is into those types of colors. The next palette that I plan to get is the Morphe 35K palette which has a more diverse range of colors.

Review: Morphe 18 Piece Vegan Brush Set

Hey Guys!

I have wanted a new brush set for quite some time. One of the brands that really stuck out to me was Morphe Brushes. They are affordable and I have read great things about their quality. Jaclyn Hill has talked alot about their brushes recently and now has her own favorites palette with them. I decided to check out their brush set offerings and pick one to put on my Christmas list. After going through all of the sets, I chose the 18 Piece Vegan Brush set. It included a wide range of brushes, was a reasonable price, and was vegan which was the best part! Luck for me, my lovely sister in law picked this up for me as a Christmas gift! I was so excited and couldn't wait to get home and try the brushes out. 

Morphe 18 Piece Vegan Brush Set (Set 686) $49.99

These brushes come in a patent leather brush case that snaps shut. It also has flap that covers the brushes. I have it folded behind the case so that you can see all the brushes.
