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

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

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.
