March 5-9 Week in Review

Hello and welcome back, Beauties!! Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week. Since it’s Friday, it’s time to go over my looks and standout products from the week. If you’re interested in checking out how the week went, just keep on reading.  (more…)

Being on this low-buy has really helped me discover some gems in my collection, as well as actually use what I have and enjoy more. I’m into it. Now, I will admit that I will have a Lush haul up on the blog next week, but I haven’t purchased any makeup in a couple weeks, so there’s that.

Anywho, let’s get into what I loved this week in products and looks.

I think that the product I loved the most this week was my Lancome Dual Finish Multi-Tasking Powder Foundation, $40.00. This powder truly is multitasking, because I can use it lightly to just set my foundation or apply it to bare skin and get some coverage like I would with a BB Cream. You can use the powder wet or dry, but I haven’t tried it with a wet sponge or anything. I love this powder to pieces and would recommend it  to you guys.

I forgot how much I enjoyed the Buxom Va-Va Plump Shiny Liquid Lipstick, $20, until I used it the other day. I have it in the shade Stay the Night, a burgundy shade. I definitely want to pick up more of these. They’re just as great as the Milani Amore Shine Liquid Lipsticks that I have been wearing nonstop for the past few weeks. If you’re in the market for a high end shiny liquid lipstick, these are for you.

Now, let’s check out my looks from this week.

For reference: The images on the left are (top to bottom) from Wednesday, Thursday and today. The image in the top right corner is from Monday.

The only day that I wore liquid foundation this week was Wednesday (my current fave, the bareMinerals barePro, in case you’re curious). Every other day this week I used the Lancome powder I mentioned earlier in this post for my base. Today (Friday), I went for a quick look because I couldn’t be bothered, so I just threw on my brows and mascara with a little gloss. All of my eye looks this week were created using various single shadows I have in my collection. I had forgotten about some of them, so I’m glad I got more use out of them this week.

So, this week I was loving two of my looks, instead of just one. Now, of course the green smoky eye I did was one I loved too, but that’s not news. Monday’s look on the left was my jam because I just loved the way the yellow shadows went with my nude lip and yellow shirt. Thursday’s look on the right is something of a go-to look for me when I just want to do something simple that looks like I did a lot of work. Plus, I’m always down for a bold lip, so that’s a thing.

That’s it for my weekly review, y’all. Let me know in the comments below what products rang your bell this week.

Until next time, Beauties!! xoxo

Alright Beauties, I must say that this week I didn’t try out as many new products as I usually do. I basically stuck with what I know, with the exception of a few eyeshadows. I am making this low buy work for me. It’s really showing me what I already have that I love, and what I have that I’m not even interested in. Let me know if you want to see a post that kind of goes into more detail about that.

Enough rambling, let’s get into this week’s review.

This week, I found myself reaching for one product consistently, even though I had plans on using other things. That product was the bareMinerals barePro Foundation. What can I say? I love it. The last foundation that I tried and couldn’t put down was the Lancome Teint Idole, so it’s definitely been a hot minute. I will link my review of the foundation HERE in case you missed it.

Now, let’s get to this week’s looks!

Y’all know that I basically do the same looks all of the time, but I’m trying to branch out. Thursday’s eye look was a dark green smokey eye with some shadows I’m testing, so that’s new at least. As a whole, my favorite look was definitely Tuesday’s look. Here’s the pic:

I just feel like everything was laid out perfectly for this look. Between the makeup and the lighting, things were going my way for Tuesday’s look.

Alright Beauties, that does it for this week’s review. Let me know in the comments below what products or looks of yours you couldn’t get enough of this week.

Until next time!! xoxo
