Hourglass

Can I just take a moment to express my admiration for this brand? While I love high performing cosmetics, I love a high performing cosmetic that is cruelty free the most. While I strive to be 100% cruelty free, sometimes I fail due to my very sensitive skin.

While Hourglass isn’t the newest rage (at least not at the moment), I feel like the brand has made their stamp in the cosmetic world by being a tried and true brand with age defying formulas that work for all skin types no matter what your age is.

With that said, here are four GREAT starters into the Hourglass world.

Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Mineral Primer

Im not usually one for primers, to be honest, they don’t always perform well on my skin and usually do a great job of clogging my pores. The Veil Mineral Primer is fantastic! A lightweight, oil and fragrance free formula that really just feels like very lightweight moisturizer and works amazingly on my super oily skin at keeping my make up in place.

Hourglass Veil Fluid Makeup Oil Free

With oily skin, oil free foundation and other face products are a MUST. This foundation offers a light to medium coverage and worth the higher price point. Now unlike other Hourglass foundations, this formula will leave a dewy more natural finish.

Veil Translucent Setting Powder

Looking for a powder that wont make you feel like a frosted cake? This might be the one for you, too! Lightweight feeling and silky texture. Another product in their lineup that is so worth the price point!

Ambient Lighting Powder

I feel like the Ambient Lighting Powders are the holy grail products for SOOO many people, and I am late to jump on this train. Why do these three shades cause such a stir? Honestly, I feel like it is their natural shades without being too flashy. While I like to sparkle like a twilight vampire at night, during the day I am after something more settle, and this product delivers!

Jeffree Star… WHAT?!

I am kind of freaking out here.  Now for those of you who don’t know, Jeffree Star Cosmetics has been taking over the matte liquid lipstick world in a fierce way. I actually have a review on the color Scorpio coming up as soon as I can fix my camera (hence the lack of posts lately).

Before getting in too deep here, let me just say… I have an undying love for Jeffree Star.  He might not be for everyone, but the bitch has major game and the newest surprises from his cosmetic line have me envious in the worst way.  Before I know it, I will own every product made.

But let’s get into why I am so excited about his make-up line today. In a little over two weeks, the line will be launching their first ever highlighters and full shadow palette. The colors are just to die for.

First, the palette.  The colors are not only stunning, but the formula looks like a buttery soft dream.


Check out the video for swatches of the full palette.

Second, the highlighters.  Now the mint green is probably one most people won’t buy, but I will give it a try, even if it is for shits and giggles.  I love highlighter, I have an obsession with it and can never have too many.  My need to highlight like a damn sparkling vampire is real and these highlighters, are speaking my language.

These new products launch May 25, so get your bank accounts ready for the pillaging!
