Review: Stila All Over Shimmer Duo in Kitten

Hi Everyone!
So a while back a bought a bunch of products from Sephora and I have been testing them out to review them for you all. So I have finally made an opinion on the Stila All Over Shimmer Duo in Kitten.


Now I apologize for the pictures once again. I am taking them with my iPhone because the camera I usually use is not working at the moment.

Anyways! I was really excited about this product because one of my favorite Youtubers, MarrissaLace, raved about this product. I trust her opinion because she likes a lot of the same products that I like. So the moment she recommended this product, I had to get it!

My Opinion:
My favorite highlighter is the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. This is amazing. It gives the perfect sheen so when I got this product I expected it to be just as amazing as the MAC product and maybe even better.

But when I started using the lighter side, I was really disappointed. When I swatched it it was much more pigmented than it was when I put it on my cheek bones. 



Both products swatch beautifully. Especially the lighter pinky shade. I have an olive skin tone and so I thought that the lighter shade would be the perfect highlight for the winter because I am pretty fair at the moment. But the problem was that when I put it on, in like 20 minutes, I could not see it anymore. It just blended right into my skin. No matter where I moved my face in the light, the highlight disappeared. Now I did not try the bronze shimmer yet because I wanted to get more of a tan. So I will come back to tell you all if I like that side or not.

But for $22, which is cheaper than MAC Skinfinish, I was not so impressed. $22 is a lot of money on a highlighter and I would rather pay $30 for the MAC one than the Stila one. Now don't get me wrong, I love Stila products. But this light pink color was just not a good highlighter. I tried it with a bunch of different foundations, blushes, brushes, and nothing made it stay on my face.

I honestly was really disappointed. Now this might be your favorite product of all time but it just did not work for me. Now this is my own personal opinions. I did buy this product with my own money. 

I will definitely get back to you on how the bronzey color works in the summer but I would not recommend to go rush out to Sephora and buy this product. 

I hope you all enjoyed this review! Let me know if there are any other make up products you would like me to review, I would be more than happy to! :)

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Must Have Nail Polish for Spring!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and  I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
