Benefit Bella Bamba Blush

I wanted a Benefit boxed blush for a long time. I was thrilled when I saw that this was part of the Pretty Committee set for $40 as these blushes retail for $28. I absolutely love it!

The color is very flattering but you have to be careful with it. It can be applied much too heavily if you aren't light handed. But if you are gentle with it, it can give you a nice flush! It also has a nice scent.

Next I want to try Coralista! Let me know if you have tried any of the other blushes!

Wet N Wild palette in "Blue Had Me at Hello"

I've been having a love affair with Wet N Wild eye shadow lately. Their trios are heavenly! When I saw the teal in this palette, I knew I had to have it.

There are two looks to this palette. On the left is a smokey look and on the right is a teal look. Both of them are stunning when applied. Hopefully you can see how beautiful the swatches are. These shadows are buttery. My favorite color is the teal. It's beautiful and true to color.

If you want cheap, high quality shadows, check out these palettes!

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick, The Universal Color

Sorry for my absence! I've been in a funk when it comes to blogging lately. I was also on a no buy for the month of July. Then I went on a week long camping trip where I wore absolutely no make-up at all! But I do have a back log of products to talk about so here goes!

My dad's girlfriend has this lipstick and I've always been interested in it, especially because she sings its praises. Next I ran into it on someone's blog. She was a member of a group called the "lipstick bandits," a group of bloggers who coordinate posts about lipsticks. They, as a whole, decided that MAC Viva Glam V is the universal lipstick color. Once I read that, I knew I had to buy it.

I really really love this color! And it has indeed worked on everyone I've tried it on. It's a beautiful color that is definitely a mlbb on me. I can slap it on without being too worried about application because it's such a natural color. It looks great!

I would suggest this to anyone looking to buy a flattering MAC shade!

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream

This is the first BB cream that I tried, ever. I automatically liked it. Everyone else hates it. I don't really know why. I have since tried a sample of the Stila HD BB cream that I received in my Birchbox, but I don't like it more than this. I think this one has the same amount of coverage, a more pleasant smell, and I like that it has SPF in it which the Stila one doesn't. SPF is pretty important to me this time of year. I've been trying to make sure I either use a moisturizer or foundation with SPF in it every day. This is both, go figure.

Hopefully you can see from the swatch that it matches my skin pretty well. It applies sheer to medium coverage. People say it's just a glorified tinted moisturizer but I disagree. This gives me much fuller coverage than even my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. Coverage is important to me as I have very red cheeks; I feel comfortable wearing this out of the house with the amount of coverage it gives me.

Am I missing out terribly when it comes to higher end BB creams? Please let me know! Tell me what your favorite BB cream is or if you've used this one, let me know what you think!
