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

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one.

June Ipsy Bag 2015!

Hey everyone! I really need a better way to say hi to you all. If you have any suggestions, let me know! Today I am doing my June Ipsy bag! I am super pumped because whenever I get my Ipsy bags/ pouches I get to try different brands that I might not have ever heard about. I never look at a preview of what I am going to get because I always want it to be a surprise. So let's get started. Not going to lie, when I first got my Ipsy bag, I was a little disappointed. The reason why is because on the Ipsy Instagram page, they had so many products that I wanted to try like the Formula X nail polish and  the It Cosmetics brow pencil. But when I first looked at the products that I received, I was disappointed. The bag/pouch: This pouch is super simple but I really like it. This is the perfect pouch to keep all your make up in and throw it in your purse. I like how it is flimsy feeling but durable. Some of the Ipsy pouches are very sturdy and structured and I am not really a...
