The Coola Mineral Sunscreen Tinted Moisturizer provides SPF 20 and light coverage. This product came in my July Ipsy Bag. As you can see in the ingredient list above, this tinted moisturizer is almost all organic ingredients. This makes it much better for your skin in addition to the sun protection. This makes it hard to say that this just isn't for me! The color is completely wrong. It is very orange and I have a cool skin tone. In addition to it being orange, it's also just too dark for my fair skin. However, when blended in really well it can look okay on me, but when sheered out that much it barely gave any coverage. When not sheered out it gives a fairly light coverage. XOX ♥

This is the deluxe size which was featured in my July Ipsy Bag. Benefit's Benetint is a popular liquid rose colored lip & cheek tint. These kinds of products are great for summer because the liquid formula lasts longer than most powder blushes & lipsticks. This formula isn't my favorite. I think the thin liquid application is cool, but I find that when I blend it out, it doesn't show up a lot. I think Benetint would be best for someone who likes very subtle cheek color. On the lips, though, it creates a really pretty, extremely lightweight stain! XOX ♥
BH Cosmetics' California Collection: http://www.bhcosmetics.com/search?x=-1070&y=-80&q=california The BH Cosmetics California Collection Shadow Sampler includes 3 shadows from their 3 California Palettes. These colors are Hollywood, a deep purple, San Francisco, a bronze & Malibu, a yellow gold. These shadows were really nice. They weren't the most pigmented shadows I've tried, but they blended nicely & surprisingly created a gorgeous eye look with all 3 colors! XOX ♥
Price: Set of 6 for $25 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 3 g / 0.1 ozhttp://popbeautycosmetics.com/Popbeauty_Products/Lips/Pouty_Pop_Crayon_Kit/Index.html Pop Beauty's Pouty Pop Crayon in Fuchsia Flirt is a lightweight fuchsia lip crayon that was in my July 2013 Ipsy Bag. Pop Beauty's Pouty Pop Crayons are Pop Beauty's version of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains or Clinque's Chubby Sticks. Pop Beauty's Crayon doesn't smell minty like a lot of other lip crayons do. This lip crayon is sheer, but is easily build-able to create a more opaque fuchsia shade. XOX ♥
Price: $5.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.12 oz / 3.4 g The Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Moonlit Jewels is a quad with a muted blue, muted green, dark brown & light neutral gold cream shadow. I love these shadow quads and am surprised that I haven't seen any other bloggers or YouTubers mention it. This is my 4th one! These cream shadows have a very similar smooth feeling & great pigmentation like the Maybelline Color Tattoos. They also blend really easy. However, these cream shadows aren't very water resistant.

Price/Buy At: $2.99 @ Target & $3.99 @ Walgreens * Size: 4.4 g / 0.15 oz http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Lip-Makeup/Lip-Balm/Baby-Lips-Electro-Lip-Balm.aspx I recently fell in love with Maybelline's Baby Lips again and was so excited when I saw that they released a new collection! This new collection is the Electro line which is designed around a neon theme. The shades I picked up are Pink Shock, Berry Bomb, Oh! Orange & Strike A Rose. The other 2 colors in the collection are fairly clear, so I didn't get those. They are named Fierce N Tangy (yellow) & Minty Sheer (green). Formula-wise they are the same as the permanent Baby Lips line and the previous LE collection. They are smooth and hydrating. As for the pigmentation, this line is more pigmented than the other lines of Baby Lips. I found that Pink Shock's color payoff was more like Maybelline's Color Whisper line. Strike A Rose & Oh! Orange were more pigmented than the normal Baby Lips, too. Berry Bomb's pigmentation was more sheer than the others when on the lips. If you were wondering how Pink Shock & Strike A Rose compares to Pink Punch from the permanent line, they really are nothing alike. As you can see in the swatches below, Pink Punch is more sheer, lighter and more cool toned than both Pink Shock & Strike A Rose. XOX ♥
Price: $5.94 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink is a cool-toned shimmery pink cream shadow or shadow base. Inked in Pink has a fairly creamy texture that is easy to apply. However, even when the lid is always closed tightly, it tends to dry out the top layer. This product has amazing wear. It does crease a little bit, but is easily fixed by blending it in with your finger throughout the day. It's also smudge and water proof! XOX ♥
Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.12 oz / 3.5 g The Milani Baked Powder Blush in the shade Corallina is described as a coral (shimmer). This coral leans more on the pink/red side versus orange. Since it's a baked product, it looks gorgeous in the pan! It's a bright coral pink with shimmery white streaks. This blush is super pigmented, but can be sheered out using a blush brush that isn't dense. Since it has lots of shimmer, I suggest tapping off the brush to prevent glitter fall out on your face. The packaging of the Milani Baked Blushes is gold and quite thick compared to other blushes. It's about as thick as the Maybelline Color Tattoos. The reason for the thickness is because the blush has a dome shape & the compact features a mirror & a little brush under the blush. This may be a turn off to some, but it really doesn't cause any trouble for me. Here, with Corallina on my finger & a blush brush, you can see how much product comes off with an easy swipe. I am super impressed with this blush! I really wish Milani was sold at a Target near me, but, sadly it's not. The color is gorgeous and pigmented and had a wear of about 3 or 4 hours.. I hope to try other shades soon! PRODUCT INFORMATION Price: $6.49 Buy At: Target Size: 0.15 oz / 4.2 g The Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit (in 01 Light) comes with a shimmery ivory highlight shade, a light & dark brow powder, angled brow brush, tweezers, sponge eye shadow applicator & a mirror. I think the compact of this brow kit is really cool. Part of it lifts up to reveal a mirror & holds the three mini tools next to the powders. I am really impressed with the quality of the brow powders & the highlight shadow. They are all smooth and not chalky at all. I really like the highlight shade, I don't know if I'd use it as a brow highlight though because I prefer matte brow highlights. XOX ❤ NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel is simply described as "peach." It's a little lighter than my lip color and a little peachier. This makes it a very easy to wear color that matches most eye looks. The Butter Glosses are NYX's newest gloss and have a typical doe foot applicator. (I previously reviewed the shades Creme Brulee & Peach Cobbler) Like I said in my previous review of the Butter Glosses, I really like the formula. It feels great on the lips and isn't sticky. Some people love the smell of these, but I'm not the biggest fan.
