humble beauty opinion #5

Since starting Behind the Leopard Glasses,
I have been getting more into make,
& I bring you my humble beauty opinion #5 of what is new to me/what I've been loving/reviews

1st up ipsy
I love ipsy!
It keeps getting better & better!
Review: 
The "acid pink" lipstick from Cailyn is a pretty color,
 but weird application as with most of Cailyn products
The Urban Decay eye pencil has a nice application 
haven't used it that much- I love my Maybelline Stiletto eyeliner
I love the Elizabeth Mott pop! goes the shadow in Champagne is a nice color for all over the lid or a blending color
As for the benefit tint lollitint, eh.
I am not a huge fan, 
I really don't see the hype around the benefit tints,
I have lollitint and positing & used to have benetint
& when ever I use them they are too streaky or make me look like I just ate a lolly pop
I recently was invited to the new Benefit store in Princeton, NJ & got a free spray tan! 

Such a cute store & a fancy spray tan! 




One of my favorite benefit products {besides Porefessional of course} 
is this "luv it up" cutest nudist makeup kit 
The "nude swings" color is so pretty I use it almost every day! 
It also came with RSVP primer & dandelion lipgloss 
I also love this Almay intense i-color trio in 401 smoky-i for browns,
it is an easy eye look that is very pretty! 
I also finally repurchased the sumita brow base canceler from birchbox 
it was out of stock for a while so I stocked up & got one for each of my sisters. 

My new purchases from the drug store: 
I am LOVING this Milani baked blush in 05 Luminoso perfect blush/highlight to add to any look,
speaking of highlights- this Physicians Formula shimmer strips in Vegas Strip is a nice golden one 
{on the same level of theBalm mary lou manizer} 
Also loving these NYC bronzers- "Sun'N'Bronze in 706 Hamptons Radiance" also got a darker one for when I finally got a tan & "720A Sunny"- perfect matte bronzer very pigmented & CHEAP!
My new favorite blush is NYX "Cinnamon", love the orange for the spring!

I received one of these NYC from my last influenster & had to get two more! 
Especially love "Air Kiss"

I am also a HUGE fan of these Wet & Wild trios, 
this is my current collection:


My favorite is "Knock on Wood" I have even hit pan! 

Also still loving my Sigma F80 brush for foundation! 

I also need to repurchase this Urban Decay makeup setting spray,
I love this stuff, 
I will need to buy the big one and fill up one as a travel spray
Any beauty products you're loving and I should try? 
Playing with makeup is so fun to change up your look for a day!

Had no idea Benefit had spray tans! Would you recommend it? My favorite beauty product this month that I am loving is Anastasia's Brow Wiz (picked it up in my most recent Sephora haul !)

They offer spray tans, waxing, eyebrows and tinting! The spray tan I got was awesome, I had Jackie at the Princeton location and she was very nice and made me feel very comfortable even through I was butt naked (my first time with a person and not in a booth!). I have heard great things about the Brow Wiz (I use the Miliani brow kit and I like it).
