We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

My skin tone/coloring: fair/warm-toned (elf Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain is a perfect match)

Favorite look you worn: The one I’m wearing right now! I used the Lorac Venice Beach palette, Seraphine Botanical Blush in Happy Hibiscus blush, Clinique Spiced Apple lipstick

Most used product of the week: Besides my foundation, powder, and mascara… Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Balm in Love!

Any new beauty discoveries: I picked up the Lorac Venice Beach palette for 50% off… It’s so amazing! All of the colors are perfect. If the palettes weren’t so pricey, I think they would have sold better.

Skin tone/colouring: MAC NC23, light with prominent warm yellow undertones. Dark hazel eyes, dark warm brown hair.

Favorite look worn: colourpop bel air as a transition, coastal scents barista as a crease shade, and then MAC Embark as a outer V shade. And then for the lid, I mixed Colourpop SSS in nillionaire, and thirsty girl mixed on my lids. It created a nice glittery bronze smoky eye! For lips I used NARS lip glide in unspeakable (a dark burgundy!) On my lips!

Any new beauty discoveries: first aid beauty ultra repair lip therapy! I have the tinted version. And it’s amazing! It’s not good for over night lip balm. But during the day it’s perfect!

Most used product of the week: Clinique cheek pop in Black Honey Pop. If used it every day for two weeks. It’s the PERFECT neutral go with everything blush for ME!

Most used product of the week: My little sample of Fenty Foundation in shade 290, UD Jawbreaker bronzer, DoC Mírame highlighter and of course, mascara and eyeliner!

Any new beauty discoveries: Using MAC x Taraji P. Henson VG 2 with the LE MAC x Mariah Carey Butterfly Bling makes for the prettiest bronzey autumn shade of lip color I have ever used! They are *perfect* together!

Medium Warm (MAC NC30)

Favorite look: NARS Tarvos and Cressida dual intensity eye shadows worn together are probably going to end up being one of the best eye looks on me ever. I am wearing them as much as possible before summer comes to an end.

Most used product: I picked up UD’s Naked Skin foundation and I’ve been wearing it everyday all week. What I like: the color is awesome (I wear 5) and it always looks natural.

New beauty discovery: I am OBSESSED with the combination of Lorac’s Jetsetter lip liner, UD’s Exhibition lipstick, and Buxom’s Full Bodied Lip Gloss in Pucker Up. This is a very bright, bold lip combo, but on my skin tone it is not over-the-top. I wore this combination to work all week. Even my husband complimented me on how beautiful it looks.
