Colourpop Cosmetics

By now I am sure that most of you have heard of this brand right now. They are pretty known for making great quality affordable make up. Their ultra matte lip is only $6 and their lippie stick and eye shadow retail for only $5. But what also makes this shop special is it is only an online retailer based our of California. I first knowingly spotted one of their products when one of my good friends posted a picture on instagram and I just had to know where she got her lipstick from and she directed me to this website. I tried the eye shadow, ultra matte lip as well as the lippie stix. I will tell you what I love about the products and what I least like about the products.
First I will start off with the untra matte lip

I actually brought the colors Sundae (shown in picture) and StingRAYE. I must say that StingRAYE is the first nude color EVER that I have tried on my lips that I actually like. Both of these colors are well pigmented and see to last a fair amount of time. The don't come off on your drink which I love. But these babies really are ultra matte and I swear my lips have never felt drier. It is really an uncomfortable feeling so what I usually do is put some chap stick over it but I feel like that messes up the consistency of the ultra matte its self so I am still trying to figure out how to make this work for me. Also a con is that these bad boys stain your lips.

Secondly we have the lippie stick.

I purchased Grind (pictured above) and Wet. I must say that I absolutely hate wet. It is a foil and I love foils but this one did not work for me at all. Grind on the other hand I can not stop wearing. I would definitely purchase more of these but I must say that one thing that I do not love is the smell of these.

Lastly, I did try out the eye shadow.

I purchased So Quiche (pictures above) and dare which is like a nude color with lots of sparkles of course. One thing that I will say about their shadows is that they are very pigmented and the colors and well defined. I love this and please believe that I do wear these eye shadows casually and I have been complimented on them more than one.

So overall I really do love this brand and I recommend it to everyone. They have colors that will appeal to everyone's liking and if you're not a matte person you can always go for the lippie stick.

Covergirl The Super Sizer Mascara

I swear to you guys I don't think that I have ever loved a product so much. After one use of this, I immediately put down my usual go to mascara and replaced it with this one instead. My eye lashes have never looked so full and noticeably amazing. This will definitely be my staple mascara for now on and it only retails for about $7 which is not expensive at all compared to all the other brands out here. The reviews on it are mixed although I am sitting here reading them and wondering if myself and the other reviewers were using the same product because I feel it is simply amazing. I believe you can pick this up at your local drug store. I strongly recommend you to give it a try.

The Power of Coconut Oil

This post is strictly dedicated to coconut oil. I fell inlove with it maybe a year or 2 ago and I have decided to share its benefits with you guys.
1. Obviously you can cook with it lol
2. You can use it to moisturize your body. I personally like to use it for my face in the winter when the cold weather dries my skin out.
3. It also moisturizes hair. I use this for my hair but not too often simply because I feel like oils are too heavy on my hair but it is one of the few oils that actually does moisturize hair.
4. Make up remover! This is my favorite thing to use coconut oil. It takes make up off so effortlessly and works well as a make up remover all by its self. A little goes a long way. (Please try this at home.)
