ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS LIQUID EYELINER

So many of us have multiple brands of makeup that we use, some more then others but eyeliner I'm pretty picky about because I can't stand a bad eyeliner. I have used drug store to high end makeup and there are some I have truly stuck with to a point, and now there's a new liner in town that has officially caught my eye enough to try. The new Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Eyeliner I will admit I was a little hesitant because of the fact I had gotten use to the pen liners and this new liner has a separated applicator. It did take me a little to get use to at first but that first glide I'm not going to lie ha me hooked and shook. It was such a smooth glide and so easy to use. The balance of the whole liner container is absolutely amazing and very well designed. I truly give this liner five stars and highly recommend it so anyone that loves a good liner that glides and wings so well. I also have to say the formula is spectacular and is as advertised it stays on all day and does not budge. So if you're looking for a new liner to add to your top favorites this one can definitely make the list. So like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT!! And wear it with style.

KAT VON D - GO BIG OR GO HOME MASCARA

I have always been so picky with mascara like anyone trying to pick the perfect formula to their liking, mascara is a big part of any look. Kat Von D has come out with a new formula not only vegan, but made of amazing ingredients such at sunflower and olive oils which are extremely healthy for you. The formula goes on very smooth and also has no strong chemical smell like most mascara formulas, and most strong chemical smelling mascara's do tend to burn the roots of your lashes that cause them to deteriorate over time. I absolutely am in love with the long lasting no transfer and none budging of this formula that I use it when I workout, yes I said workout I am one of those types that feel very naked with absolutely no makeup on, yes I am guilty of whats called workout makeup. So if you're like me and wear just a little makeup when you workout, this mascara is deferentially for you and gives you a great natural look without having to put on fake lashes. This product is sold online and in your local Sephora as well as online at Kat Von D Cosmetics. And like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT!! And wear it with style.

JEFFREE STAR-BLUE BLOOD PALLET

Jeffree Star has always wowed us with each and every new product he comes out with, and this new pallet he truly has out done himself once again. The Blue Blood pallet has a beautiful arrangement of  blue pastels along with a few taupe nudes for balance. I also have to point out the most amazing packaging the design is beautiful and very well thought out, however the only small problem in the design to me at least would be the slight snugness of upon opening the pallet. I love a good makeup packaging but the slight strain to open it does put a little damper on it, but other than that everything is quite amazing. The pigments are beautiful each color practically has its own character from the shimmers to the glitters and yes even the mattes.

The only problem I had from this launch was the order process, and I wasn't the only one that had this problem sadly. Jeffree Star really needs to up his game on the site when it comes to making sure nothing goes wrong. This company that he put so much into needs more into it, the site needs a huge upgrade and as you can see Jeffree has the funds to do so. All in all the product is amazing I do give it a 10 out of 10 but as I saw in comments a lot of people don't want to order from his site anymore and that's not good Jeffree. I do agree there needs to be a lot of bug fixes on the site and upgrades I have never had a problem like this ever, especially on a launch and it is fixable so hopefully Jeffree puts more money back into fixing this problem so it doesn't happen again, and scare away customers to buy. I will say this pallet is worth having lets just hope no more launch day problems from Jeffree and like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT! And wear it with style.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Pallet

This pallet is so stunning I absolutely love the combination of pastels from the settle sultries to the vibrant opaques. The Riviera pallet really pulls me out my comfort zone is the most amazing way, and I usually play it safe with sultry colors or even a light color mixed with a little pastel with a smokey eye. However this pallet has me thinking outside the box with such fabulous color mixes of matte, shimmer and glitz. Just like any other Anastasia Beverly Hills pallet this one is also very pigmented, and the glitz glides on beautifully without fallout, and with each color a little goes a long way when applying and blending. I really adore the packaging as well, these pigments are literally just the perfect upcoming spring and summer colors, but we all know any time is good makeup time no matter how you want to wear it. So like I always say RCOK IT DON'T KNOCK IT! And wear it with style.

GLAMLITE PIZZA PALETTE

When I first saw this pallet I was over come with happiness my two loves in life makeup and pizza together as one. Not only is it designed like a pizza but it even comes in its own pizza box and packaging is everything for me. I have to say you can really see that this was really created with a lot of thought and love, and not only is the packaging amazing but the colors are beautiful. Most of the colors are a matte but there are some shimmer colors, and they all match up beautifully together.

The colors are so pigmented a little goes a long way and the formula of them apply and blend beautifully, and I love how all the colors are named after toppings. The colors go on with ease and there's no dry or chalky pigment or feeling in every color whether matte or shimmer. I do know some pallets do have that problem where the mattes would be chalky and the shimmers glide but not with this pallet. I highly recommend this  amazing GLAMLITE pallet not just for the awesome packaging, but for the fantastic and stunning quality that is so obviously put into this pallet. So like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT ! And where it with style.

FENTY BEAUTY By RIHANNA

I was so excited to be getting my first ever liquid lipstick from Fenty Beauty By Rihanna I heard so many great things about it, but you can't always believe what you hear or see. I purchased a few of the Fenty liquid lipsticks, however in the color Uninvited which is a beautiful black once I put it on I absolutely loved it, but soon after there was a change. The applicator is amazing and helped the lipstick glide on beautifully I absolutely love it, and when it started drying matte is was gorgeous. Sadly after only a few minutes of applying, the inside of my lips started to crack and crumble a little not to much but still enough to notice. I reapplied and again the same happened. I'm sorry to say but this is not really a liquid long lasting lipstick even though it is advertised as such, it also showed it does have minimal transfer after I did the kiss proof test which this lipstick is not, and I have tried a lot of long lasting lipsticks. I'm not sure why it does what it does I feel the formula may have to be looked over again. I'm wondering if the fact that it's in a glass container that it could be messing with the formula, unlike other products that use acrylic or plastic. So I'm wondering does the containment mess with the formula of the product and does Fenty beauty need to go back to the drawing board with their black liquid lipstick all together. The other liquid FentyxRihanna liquid lipsticks strangely don't have that problem though, but they also have problems. I have never known a liquid lipstick to bleed out, but for some reason three out of the four do and for some reason the only one that doesn't is, you guessed it Uninvited. I'm not saying I will never wear them I do love the colors and again the applicator is amazing and well designed, but I do have a solution to these mishaps with the products.

  With the liquid lipstick in the color Uninvited it for some reason is the only liquid lipstick that doesn't bleed out, use it as a type of liner and then fill it with the lipstick in the color F'n Black. It does help a little with the long wear but sadly it does transfer if eating, drinking, getting dressed, and kissing. With the other liquid lipsticks you do have to use a liner again for some reason these other colors bleed out. I don't usually rate products but this was a bit of a mess I give it three stars out of five, and the reason is even with these problems I will still wear it from time to time. The only thing I ask out of this is for Fenty to go back and take more time with their products,testing them at least a year before release so these problems can be prevented and not have to be solved after customer purchase. I'm not saying I will never wear Fenty Beauty but I do hope that they listen to reviews and go back to fix these problems for future releases and new formulas. So like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT! And wear it with style.

TOO FACED-DIAMOND HIGHLIGHTERS

We all love that little extra when it comes to our makeup looks whether they be bold or soft we still add a little highlight. Well Too Faced came out with two more highlighters then before as you'll remember the first diamond highlighter was launched in 2017. Since then this year not only did they launch an eye shadow pallet to match, but two more diamond highlighters as well. I myself don't wear highlighters to often but I do add it to my eye shadow looks almost all the time for that little extra in the corner of my eyes. These are amazing the formula itself is sleek and goes on like butter, and with porcelain skin like mine each color goes beautifully.


   The three colors from left to right are Diamond Fire, Canary Diamond, Fancy Pink Diamond.
   They each come in such a stunning and well designed pallet that you just can't say no to.
Each highlighter is very much worth having I almost didn't get the two new additions, but I am so glad I did they defiantly add some pop to my looks. Whether I glide them on my cheek or add them to my eye shadow they just make a look complete. You can get these at Too Faced online or Sephora and Ulta both in store and online, and like I always say DON'T KNOCK IT ROCK IT! And wear it with style.
