New Obsession: Purple Makeup

 
Hello angels!! I hope you are staying nice and warm. It's snowing a lot where I'm at right now and we've gotten as cold as -15°C the other day.

I wanted to share with you this haul I did from Sephora. After my Flower Knows haul I got really obsessed with finding more purple blush and purple makeup in general because of how well it complimented my skintone.

I searched every corner of the internet but couldn't find anything I liked until I spotted these items on sale at Sephora.
I had to do a restock of my dry shampoo so I decided to fill out my order with some purple makeup 💜
I got this purple blush from Morphe and some highlighters from Fenty. I really like the consistency of the Morphe blush! It goes on top of my base really well and doesn't lift the foundation.
Here are some swatches, I did the Fenty powder highlighter first, then the stick highlighter. I was hoping the matchstix highlighter would be a bit more creamy because I have the contour stick and it's a great texture, but this is a bit on the more dry end so I would apply with a brush.

The bottom swatch is the Morphe blush!! I love it so so much I'm literally obsessed with it.
That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed reading! I'll see you in the next post, take care 💖

[Jan 2023] Smokey Banba

Hey angels, how are you? Today we're delving back into the backlog. I got these super intense contact lenses and wasn't sure how to style them. When I was looking at them originally on the store page they didn't seem that vibrant so I was quite shocked when I put them in 😱 I forgot to account for the model's natural eye color but it's ok it gave me the opportunity to experiment.
I had the idea to try another banba look but this time I wanted to try and cover my brows. It's hard for me to do other brow shapes because of the microblading I got so just ignore the fact that you can still see my brow hairs at the end. Shaving them would've done me no good after I wiped the makeup off 😂

I went with a black and blue theme to compliment my hair!
I think this was done quite late at night so it wasn't like I was going out so I didn't put on a full outfit. I just threw on this Alba jacket and cowboy hat for photos 🤡
I thought it would be cute with some flowers so I pinned a few in my hair as well.
I thought this was a fun look to do and I learned a lot while experimenting with the brows and also eyeshadow placement. I don't think I have enough lid space (because of my brows) to make this really pop the way I wanted to but maybe the next time I try something like this I can do more on the bottom lashline to balance things out. 
I also got a new nail set earlier that day! I really like this one, we went with a black and gold theme. I loved the dragon charm but after a while it got kind of annoying cause the tail kept getting caught on everything 😭
That's all for this post, see you next time!!
