21 Days of Beauty 2017

Woops I did it again...went into Ulta and spent money oh baby baby

Like I said in my Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick post, I bought a Buxom full-on Lip Creme today because it was only $10 instead of $20 thanks to the 21 days of Beauty campaign Ulta is currently running. A lot and I mean A LOT of shades were sold out, especially the nude shades. These shades were also sold out online! After going to a second Ulta, I managed to score the shade in Rose Julep. This shade looks like a muted pink, not quite a mauve color but it's not a flaming hot pink either. It is a wearable everyday pink. On the website it is described as "pink punch."

Here is the natural pigmentation of my lips before I swatch shade Rose Julep


This is what the product looks like on my lips. Just gives it a healthy touch of pink :)

Next year I will probably be the first one in the store so I can get my hands on the shades I actually wanted. This shade was a pleasant surprise and I'm glad I was able to pick up an everyday color to try out.

Rimmel match Perfection Blush #002 Light/medium

I mentioned that I would update you guys on whether or not the Rimmel match perfection blush in #002 light/medium would show up on my skin tone. 

Refer to this post http://allaboutbabytigerlily.blogspot.com/2014/02/target-deals-21014.html 

Unfortunately NOTHING showed up, literally nothing! There was absolutely no trace of color, not even a white or pastel cast on my arm. I am usually against returning beauty products to the store after I have opened the packaging, however there is just nothing I can do to this product. If it was a foundation I could easily darken it up with some bronzer. However, this is a blush and I shouldn't have to "darken" or "change"the color of a blush. Therefore I will be returning it to Target.

What a pretty pink! It isn't an in your face pink so it is perfect for an everyday look :) and it works on darkly pigemented lips! You will need a mirror to apply this one.

100 Petal Plush

This is a harder color to pull off on my natural lip color ;/ I can shear out the color so it isn't as "dead" looking. It has pretty pink sparkles (not alot).

Not really satisfited with this color. It was streaky in it's application. I would say to pass on this color and look at some of the darker shades!

I think the easiest way to used this color is to simply just use it as a topcoat to a pink or nude lipstick when I want to go for a more glossy, juicy lip look. I can't really use this on its own because of the streaky application. It can also go on over a lip liner and this tends to be a pretty easy look to pull off.

This is another great nude, it isn't too deep of a brown. It is a brownish nude. This is fantastic formula for every color!

The perfect nude, I thought that it would be too light because my natural lip color is a little dark. However these lipgloss/lipsticks are super opaque!! They are comfortable and very moisturizing. This color you might be able to get away putting it on without a mirror, but some of the other colors you won't get that lucky.
