Current Favorite Blushes

Hello!! Today I'm going to share my current favorite blushes. These are the ones I've been reaching for the most out of my collection lately, and honestly I don't think I've used anything else for the past 2-3 months! 

You've already seen these before on my blog, most of them even very recently. I did a review for the Physicians Formula and Majolica Majorca one, and the one from ModelCo was shown in my last favoeites post, and my last ipsy bag post. 

These are all very pink and coral toned blushes, which is what I gravitate towards in the spring and summer time (when will spring be here??!!).

I'm going to start with my beloved Nars Orgasm blush. This has been a long time favorite of mine and you can tell that it's well loved and used a lot. It's a pretty pink/coral shade with gold flecks in it. It doesn't look too shimmery on the skin, and just gives a pretty highlight in with your blush. 

Next up is the Physicians Formula Argan Weat blush in the color Natural. This blush is beautiful. The packaging is beautiful. And the design is beautiful. If you remember from my review, there was tons of gold glitter detailing on it (that was also beautiful lol) but it all came off. Physicians Formula blushes are my favorite from the drugstore, I own a few and they are amazing. 

This is the Majoloca Majorca Puff de Cheek Blush in the color PK302 Strawberry. I've always wanted one of these for years, and I decided to order one from eBay a few months ago. This is the first asian makeup brand I tried and I'm in love with this blush. It's gives yours cheeks such a natural flush of color. And the little tin it comes in is so cute!

Last is the ModelCo blush in the color Cosmopolitan. This blush looks way bright pink and it's not usually a color I go for. At first when I got this in my ipsy bag I wasn't excited but when I tried it on I really liked it! Props to ipsy for actually giving me a shade in something that I like! It blends super nicely so it doesn't look l have Barbie pink cheeks and also gives a nice flush of color!

I tried to do a top 5 blushes post, but I really couldn't pick another one out because that is all I've been using! 

What are your current favorite blushes? Let me know in the comments!!  

January Favorites!

I haven't done a favorites post since October! Does anyone else feel like writing favorites post is a chore? I do! And I also feel like they are an obligation as a beauty blogger LOL! That's probably why I haven't done one in so long. Honestly, 90% of the time I use the same stuff everyday/every month unless I get something new and that's another reason why I haven't done one. 

So since I haven't done one in months, I thought this would be a good time to do one. With that being said, I probably won't do these every month, just randomly when I feel like I have goodies to share ;)

First up is some cheek products. My all time favorite bronzer is Nars Laguna. I finished up the one I had in a blush/bronzer duo and I bought the full size back in December. I've already hit pan on this!! I seriously have been neglecting all of my Bronzers for months because I love this one so much! 

Next is two blushes- Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blush and Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek Blush. I've done reviews for both of these, but I seriously can't stop using them! They both just give you just a beautiful flush of color! 

You've all seen the Urban Decay Naked palettes a million times. The original one is my favorite and you can tell mine is well loved. This has been my go to palette for the past few months. I'm going to have a post on my currentl everyday eye look using this soon! 

Next up is the L'Oreal Infallibe Pro Spray & Set. I love this setting spray so much! I'm going to do a post comparing it to the UD all nighter spray soon, but this is obviously a spoiler that I love it.  Next to it is the Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume. My sweet husband got this for me and it smells like heaven. I've had my eye on this one for a while and if you like vanilla scents, then you would love this one! 

Lastly I'm going to share my favorite lip combo! It's the Urban Decay 24/7 lip pencil in Naked with Mac Hug Me on top of it!! I wore this in a recently FOTD post. I never use to be into lip liners but once I tried one from Mac, I was hooked! Hug me was a long time favorite lip stick of mine but these two together is just amazing. I got this lip liner as a free sample when I ordered something from UD so long ago and it's just been sitting in my makeup collection. I'm so glad I'm using it now!

Now that I've wrote novel long descriptions for each item, this concludes my favorites post!! I'm super hyped up on coffee right now, so that is the culprit for my ramblings. 

What are your favorites this month?

Also, if you guys have any request for posts please let me know! I'm feeling sort of un creative right now and also feel like I'm slacking a little. Someone inspire me! 

Majolica Majorca | Experimenting with Asian Makeup Brands

Being a lover of makeup, it's natural for me to lust after beauty products from other countries that I can't find here in the U.S.  I don't know how many times I've watched or read people talk about products from Asia, Europe, Australia, and even Canada and thought 'ooooh I wish I could try that!' 

I have heard about a Japanese makeup brand from Majolica Majorca a long time ago on YouTube that I've always wanted to try. I spent what seems like hours searching for affordable ones on eBay and Amazon, watching and reading reviews and looking at swatches etc. I found a blush that I wanted and an eyeshadow quad, and I waited very impatiently for them to arrive!

The palette I chose was one of the Jeweling Eyeshadow quads, and the blush is a Puff de Cheek blush. 

Eyeshadow 

The packaging is cute and practical. It's very small so it's nice from travel. 

This one is in the color GD886. You can tell from the photo with the flash how stunning these look. I was shocked when I opened this up at how pretty it was. Of course I chose a neural one with pretty bronze colors because that's all I normally wear. 

Here are the swatches. These are with no primer underneath. 

Here's the eye look I did with these.

My thoughts-

-These are super buttery and smoothly and blend out nice. They did have some fall out, but nothing crazy. 

-The pigmentation was decent. It took a little bit to build up the color in my crease. 

-I would say these are more like drugstore quality for eyeshadows (similar to wet n wild or Nyx). They are good but definitely not the quality of Urban Decat or Lorac. If you can get these cheap, I would recommend it but I wouldn't pay $20 for this on eBay like I did. 

-I can see myself using this a lot, it's cute, little, and my type of colors. 

The Blush 

This is the Puff de Cheek Flower Harmony blush in PK302 StrawberryM. 

I have seriously wanted one of these forever, and this is why I started my hunt for this makeup. I think the little tin is so cute and I had a hard time picking what one to get. I was kind of confused because from all the pictures I saw these were one solid color but the one I got has the swirl inside haha. 

Here are the swatches for the blush. 

My thoughts-

-I am in love with this!! The pigmentation isn't super great, but that's why I like it. It gives you such a nice, pretty and natural flush of color. 

-It looks a lot more shimmery swatched and in the pan but when it's on your cheeks, the shimmer doesn't stand out. It just gives you a nice natural glow. 

-This is super long wearing. I wore it to work and even afterwards when I got home (11 hours) it stayed on and was not patchy at all. 

-I know I'll get a lot of use out of this one. Especially in the spring and summer when I wear more coral shades!

I am super happy with both of my purchases, and I can't wait to try out more things like this!

Have you tried either of these products? 

Also please let me know of some other brands that I should check out!! I would love to try more makeup brands that I can't get here in the US!
