Rouje Beauty Lip Palette Les 4 Rouje

When I heard the news that Jeanne Damas was launching a beauty line for Rouje I could not be more excited. I adore Jeanne Damas' makeup looks and her signature lip colors ranging from bright reds to dark plums. I was so excited to finally get my hands on the lipsticks that Jeanne wears and incorporate them into my everyday beauty routine.

Rouje launched Les 4 Rouje, as well as four other single lipsticks. The lipsticks range from reds, a pinky nude, a dark red and a plum color. The palette contains the same four shades of the lipsticks which I really enjoy because you get to try all of them.

I am really adoring the palette so far. The shades are pigmented and can be built up for beautiful bold lips, but they can also be blended in to make your lips seem more lived in and natural looking. I love the idea of this palette because it can be used on the lips, cheeks, and even eyelids. I have been tapping my fingers into the palette and blotting the color into my lips to give that bitten look. With the  left over color, I blend into my cheeks and eyelids like Jeanne Damas did in her Vogue Beauty Secrets video. The color stays on for a long time since I really blend it into my lips.

I believe these shades give the lips a nice tinted look which does not require a lot of touchups!

Overall, this is a lovely palette if you want to have that beautiful lived in lip look that Jeanne Damas does so well. I am looking forward to see if Rouje will add anything else to their beauty collection down the line. 

 Thank you! Merci! ♡

RMS Beauty Shimmer + Twilight Palette

I am a big fan of RMS Beauty and recently purchased this palette at Anthropologie. RMS Beauty's Shimmer + Twilight Palette includes their magic luminizer, their eye polish in Myth and finally their lip2cheek in Demure. This palette is small and ideal to use for everyday. I really love their magic luminizer because it is incredibly dewy and makes the skin come alive. The eye polish is really easy to apply and gives the eyelid a well lived look and keeps it glowy. Finally, their lip2cheek is a beautiful pale pink that looks lovely on the apples of the cheeks as well as the bridge of the nose. I really love this cute small palette and will be using it for everyday makeup!

Dior & Chanel Haul

In the past month I bought a few makeup products from Chanel and Dior. I am happy to share about them since I have loved them all so far.

I purchased two eyeshadows. The first one is Chanel's Premiere Ombre Eyeshadow in the shade Memory. I have heard a lot about this shade on Youtube and I absolutely love it. It is really pigmented and looks beautiful on the eyes. It also does not budge or crease which is bonus for my hooded eyes! I also purchased Dior's Mono Eyeshadow in the shade Backstage. This shade is a sparkly baby pink which looks really nice on my fair skin.

The last things I got my hands on were two Dior lipsticks. The first lipstick I bought is the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in the shade Beige Sunrise. I purchased this because really wanted to try this iconic Dior product and I also wanted an everyday lipgloss. It makes my lips look super plumped and smooth. I also enjoy the minty tingly feeling it gives to my lips.

The last product I bought is Dior's Lip Scrub. This is probably my favorite product out of this entire haul because it both exfoliates my lips and leaves them with a really pretty pink tint. I have been wearing this whenever I do makeup because it feels like nothing on my lips

I hope you enjoyed my short haul and enjoyed looking at these amazing products! Thank you ♡

Orgaid Greek Yogurt & Nourishing Organic Sheet Mask

To be quite frank, sheet masks are not really my thing. I have only used a few Korean brands for sheet masks and most of the time they leave my face feeling red and hot. But, after trying on this sheet mask, I can say that this mask did the opposite. 

Orgaid is a company who specializes in creating quality sheet masks. Their masks have been the first sheet masks to hit the market in the United States delivering high-quality organic ingredients. Orgaid's masks are: "Parabens, formaldehyde, alcohols, phthalates, sulfates, and fragrance free." They also do not test on animals and are gluten free. 

Orgaid currently has 3 different type of sheet masks for purchase. Each individual one concentrates on different skin needs while maintaining the promise of safe ingredients and no preservatives. 

I got my hands on the Greek Yogurt & Nourishing mask. This mask would be ideal to throw on when your skin is feeling a bit dull and in need of some care. Some of its main ingredients include greek yogurt, organic botanicals, allantoin, pro vitamin B5, beta glucan and vegetable proteins. Each of these are designed to soothe the skin, provide supplements, and tighten. 

Sheet masks usually leave my skin more red and irritated than before. However, this was not the case with this Orgaid mask. The sheet mask left my skin feeling replenished, supple, and moisturized. I did not feel any discomfort on my cheeks which is usually the case with other brands and I did not experience any flushing. I believe these masks really deliver with their high quality organic ingredients and do not disappoint! Also the sheet masks themselves are pretty durable and do not rip easily.

Orgaid has impressed me with their sheet masks and I recommend using these masks if you are trying to go into cleaner beauty and trying to expand on different brands for sheet masks! 

Thank you! ♡

Rouge Coco Lip Blush

Chanel's Rouge Coco Lip Blush is what I look for in a product. Easy to apply, pigmented, and multi-purpose. This product checks off all those marks which makes it a new favorite. Rouge Coco Lip Blush comes in 6 different shades ranging from pink, orange, red, and purple.  I picked up the shades 412 and 420 and will hopefully add more of these to my collection. 

Chanel claims the product is a "soft-gel touch" formula which I love. It is almost similar to their Rouge Allure Ink Matte Lipstick, but lighter. It is not heavy in any way and lies nicely on both the lips and cheeks. It can be built up for a more opaque look, but personally I love the sheer wash of color it can also bring. The finish of Rouge Coco Lip Blush is matte, but is rather airy than drying. 

420 Burning Berry on my lips

I am very pleased with it's finish because it does not feel heavy and makes my skin look enhanced. 

412 Orange Explosif applied lightly on lips

         

These colors are really pigmented which will definitely look beautiful on a range of skin tones. They also work the same on cheeks as they work on the lips and can be really blended to create a natural look! I am looking forward to buying one of the pink shades in this collection to use as an everyday blush. 

I recommend Chanel's Rouge Coco Lip Blush to anyone who loves 2 in 1 products and loves a soft matte finish!

DIOR BACKSTAGE LIP PALETTE + Swatches

     I have been super excited to try out this lip palette ever since Dior launched this collection. This Backstage Lip Palette features 9 lip shades that range from gloss, satin, and matte. 

          

The colors are warm toned and vary from light pinks, mauves, and berry shades.

 This palette is meant to create looks that can be both natural and bold. It is a universal palette and these colors can definitely be worn all year long. 

Dior's beautiful lip palette ♡

                                                                     Each shade is creamy and pigmented                                                                               

I am really in love with all these shades! They can be built up on the lips which is always a plus. The glosses are a bit sheer by themselves, but can be put over any other color in this palette or a lipstick on your own. 

These colors feel really creamy on the lips and have a high staying power. I am going to enjoy playing around with this palette to suit the needs of all my makeup looks. I suggest buying the Dior Backstage Lip Palette if you are looking for an easy travel palette and a palette that holds a lot of colors and options! 

Swatches:

Gloss: Pink, beige, blush 

Satin: Honey, beige, rosewood 

Matte: Amber, burgundy, berry

RMS Beauty "Un" Cover Up

RMS Beauty "Un" Cover Up

I finally got my hands on this foundation/concealer from RMS. RMS Beauty says this concealer is: "Formulated to reveal and enhance healthier looking skin…not just cover it up," which is a perfect way to describe this product. I have the shade 00 and it blends really nicely with my pale complexion. It is both a foundation and a concealer and I personally use it for the redness in my cheeks and und my eyes. 

It's consistency is really smooth and I believe works best with your fingers. When I dip my fingers into this little pot, the texture begins to melt from the heat which makes the finish look very natural. I am really enjoying it and a little does go a long way. The coverage is medium and can easily be built up if desired. If you want a a product thats the best of both worlds (concealer+foundation) this is perfect for you. It is easy to apply and no brushes needed!
