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.

                                                                     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!

Sundaze Skincare C-Shells Daily Sunscreen

C-Shells Sunscreen

A brand new sunscreen called C-Shells has been released by Sundaze Skincare. This sunscreen is a daily sunscreen and protects against both UVA and UBA rays. Sundaze Skincare states one of its main ingredients is Vitamin C which is used to repair the skin and cause a brightening effect. The sunscreen has a SPF of 30 and is "parabens, fragrances, phthalates, sulfates, formaldehydes, PEGs, etc free" and is also vegan!

Sundaze was kind enough to send me their sunscreen which I am thankful for because this product will now be in my everyday skincare/makeup routine!  

First of all, their packaging is adorable. If you look at their instagram, you can see the process of it being selected which I think is really cute. It comes in a 2oz tube which is easy to carry around for everyday application. 

The sunscreen itself has an orange smell which is really fresh and it smells nice while applying. The texture is like a white moisturizer which is easy to blend and is pleasant to work with because it is not too watery or thick.  

I apply moisturizer to my face first and then I follow with C-Shells. I think this sunscreen does play nice with makeup and it does not cause any problems with blending or longevity.

So far I am really pleased with this sunscreen and I continue to look forward to using it everyday! It seems to work with my skin and does not cause any irritation or breakouts. I also feel good about putting it on my face since it is free of the bad stuff.  

I hope Sundaze Skincare continues to produce skincare products because I am interested on what products they might aim towards to next. 

Thank you! ♡
