ColourPop x NKLA

No Comments

NKLAxColourPopOn Thanksgiving ColourPop launched two new eyeshadows called Puppy Love, and Cat Nap. But the best thing about these launches is that all the proceeds from these eyeshadows are going to support Best Friends Animal Society. Through the NKLA (stands for: no-kill LA) they are working to make Los Angeles a no-kill city. They are the only national organization that are dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in American shelters. You can support the charity by purchasing any of the two shades for $5.00 each, on ColourPop’s website.

NKLA x ColourPop shadowsThe formula of the two super shock eyeshadows are the same (as is the price) but the packaging has an added bonus on it with a limited edition paw print on it, for the NKLA x ColourPop collaboration.

NKLA x ColourPop swatchesBefore these arrived to me, I haven’t tried ColourPop’s eyeshadows before (only their lip products). I was surprised how cushiony and soft they were… and easy to swipe with my finger. It’s almost like the products are cream-based, but not. Know what I mean? The shade Puppy Love (the lighter of the two) didn’t show up well in the photograph, but on the back of my hand it’s a pink-gold iridescent shade that reflects the light beautifully. I’m pretty sure Puppy Love could definitely double as a highlighter shade. Try it out!

Burberry Kisses Lips (swatches)

Burberry-Kisses-lips

3 Burberry Kisses Hydrating lip colours, and 3 Burberry Kisses Moisture Shine lip colours — each and every one of them (that I have) are easy to wear, comfortable on, and hydrating on those winter-lips of yours. The lip colours aren’t long lasting on your lips, but I do have to say, after wearing a vibrant matte lip out to my husband’s Christmas party last weekend and having it wear off in weird patches, I think I’d rather a product that fades off beautifully and effortless to reapply without walking in those steep high heels of mine to find a mirror in a restroom to reapply.

The hydrating lip colours were more glossier on the lips than the moisture shine, but both formulas were equally as nice to wear in their soft neutral everyday wearable shades. Both formulas feel lightweight, and applies so silky smooth to the lips. However I’m sure you can find other brands that feel the same on the lips. But you have to admit, Burberry’s packaging on their lipsticks are so fun with the Burberry plaid silver squared tube that snaps magnetically together. Pure luxury! Oh I seek the joy out of the simplest things. I think that’s a good trait, don’t you?

Makeup-Of-Day

Brightening-BlushI mentioned in yesterdays post I’d show you what the Bobbi Brown Brightening Blush in the shade Pink Truffle would look like on. It’s equally pretty as both a blush (which is what I did in this look), or as a bronzer. It’s totally universal and can be worn year round for a warm fresh glow to the skin. It’s something I would’ve looked past at the store, not sure how to wear it. But I love how it looks on my cheeks! You can use the three shades as a blush and/or highlighter to brighten, depending on the look you want to go for. The shade on the left is a sheer natural looking blush with a soft sheen finish. I swirled my blush brush around the entire compact and popped it onto the apples of my cheeks. Although looking a bit glittery in the pan, it doesn’t look that way on the cheeks, especially once its all blended in together.

motdI’ve been fairly consistent using the Burberry Cashmere foundation since I got it back in October (see my first post about it here). So I thought I’d do another look featuring the foundation I love and enjoy so much, but with a bit more variety.
