SEPHORA+PANTONE Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid Collection with Swatches!

Hey ladies, 

If you're a true makeup junkie, you know Sephora was having 15% off sales going on this week. I picked up all these items during this time because I've been hearing so many good things. I am really impressed. First of all, I love this color! I'm all for bold colors, and loving how pigmented everything is! By the time you're reading this, the sale would be over, but these are reasonably price and worth the money! This is a limited edition collection, so get your hands on it before its sold out!

Color of the year: Radiant Orchid

Radiant Rush Matte Lipstick ($18)

SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
Rush Luster Cheek Sweep ($26)

SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
Radiant Paint Gloss Trio ($26)

SEPHORA+PANTONE UNIVERSE
The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set ($48)

This is really the star of the collection. These shadows blend really nicely and are full of color! This is a rather large palette, so it does take a lot of room. But you can use this big mirror to do your makeup, which comes in handy!

I would recommend this collection to anyone who loves bright and bold looks! Talk to you ladies later! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram, anabelogb,  I post a lot more often on there! I like talking to you guys, so don't be afraid to ask me any questions! -Anabelogb

City color be matte blushes (as seen in ipsy glam bag)

Hello, 

Third post this week, yay me! 

Here I have city color matte blushes, I first heard about them on ipsys website! I seen other girls got one of these blushes in their bag, mine didn't ! So I went ahead and just ordered directly from the site! 

If you don't know what ipsy is it's a subscription website for beauty items. Each month you pay $10 on the first and they send you 4-5 products in a makeup bag mid month. I'll have my link below so you can sign up. http://www.ipsy.com/r/2ne9

Anyway, moving on to the good stuff. Ipsy did give me a coupon code for 20 percent off, these are each at $2.99, so super affordable. Omg they are so pigmented and easy to blend. With a light hand you won't look like a clown! A little goes a long way with these! 

There's 8 colors in total. I have 5 of the 8. I really wanted the one named melon fresh, but when I ordered these, it was out of stock.

Go get you some girl!

My MAC lipstick collection!

Hola ladies,

My favorite brand of lipsticks of all time is MAC! They have so many different colors and finishes (matte, my fave) available. I think they are quite affordable. Well, compared to other high end brands, they are pretty affordable ($16). These lipsticks have great pigmentation and texture. I have a total of 22 lipsticks in my collection. It is an obsession, now that we can get passed the fact that I have a problem, lets move on to the lipsticks, lol.

When bringing out my lipsticks I realized I have more limited edition colors than I do have the permanent ones. I think since, they are limited edition I justify by saying, "I probably won't ever be able to get my hands on it again, I need it"! and there you go, i place my order for the LE lipstick, plus they are always have some kind of pretty packaging! Btw, if it's limited edition, it means it isn't available anymore. The permanent ones are colors you can still get at any mac store, counter, or online!

Permanent colors

Rebel, Vegas Volt, All Fired Up, Candy Yum-Yum, Heroine, 

Flat Out Fabulous, Lady Danger, Ruby Woo, Girl About Town

You might have noticed that I only own bright colors. For my skin tone, I really like how bold colors look on me. I get scared with nudes because they make me look washed out. Therefore most of my nude lipsticks are drugstore!

These are my all time fave and most used.

Ruby woo, Looks orange here because of the lighting (the struggle), but it's a classic, true red!

Rebel, Fave color to use in the fall.

Heroine, It used to be LE, but since so many people loved it, Mac made it a permanent color!

Flat Out Fabulous & All Fired Up, both are from the retro matte collection, I LOVE these colors!

Heres a picture of the colors that are limited edition, I didn't want to swatch them because basically you can't get them at the Mac or online. People might be selling them online, but most likely overpriced or used.

PARTY PARROT, omg, all time fave! So pretty!

See you later!

Must have eyeshadow palettes

Hello ladies, 

I'm going to be showing you which eyeshadow palettes, I think, every girl needs in her makeup collection! 

I have a drawer-full of palettes! My name is Anabel and I have a makeup hoarding problem! LOL. But I'm here to show you which are the essentials and how you probably don't need a drawer full of them. 

I have my top four that I use and feel are universal to anyone who loves makeup. Weather you're a beginner or a junkie status (me). I'm not going to show swatches because I'm sure you can find a million posts, but I will include my photos of each item. 😘

Lorac pro palette ($42)

This is my absolute fave, I think it's way underrated. These colors are so pigmented and easy to blend. There's the top row of mattes and the bottom of shimmer. 

As you can see mine is beat up because I use it so much! I've used this for everyday, night out, wedding. Basically any ocasion.  

You have the lighter shades for day time, but you can easily smoke it out for a night out with espresso or black shadow! 

Second must have, 

Urban decay naked palette ($52)

You need this palette in your life! It's a staple item in a girls collection. Either the naked 1 or 2 can be used for everyday and multiple looks. Personally, I used this palette over the naked 2 anyday. 

As you can see I've hit pan on "buck" and serious damage to "sin"! When I first started using makeup, this was the first palette I bought. Now It isn't my go-to anymore since I have so many other palettes. But this is definitely one, I recommend to beginners. 

Third, 

Urban decay basics ($27) 

This goes along, with my second post, urban decay has some amazing eyeshadows. Their pigmentation is great and easy to use/blend. 

When this first came out I thought I really didn't need it, but surprisingly I use it a lot. I like to throw it in my makeup bag when I go out to do any touch ups. This is also great for beginners. It's really a no brainer you can't fail with this one. 

 

Finally, I have my mac eyeshadows. 

(Price varies)

The palette itself is ($10) the palette + insert. 

Each shadow if you buy the pan itself is ($10) 

It does come out very pricy but these shadows are worth every penny. 

I didn't buy all these shadows at once, I would buy a couple here and there. That's how I built my palette, also some shadows were ones I depotted or were gifted to me. Some of these colors are my absolute fave and are used everyday.  

My fave is "soft brown". It's the one on the bottom right next to the orange one It may seem like just any other brown but this one really makes my eye shadow blend nicely and a great transition color. 

Mac can be overwhelming because they have so many colors and options. So I might do a separate post about my mac essentials. 

I hope this post helps you out. Feel free to ask me anything! Remember makeup is suppose to be fun, don't take it so seriously! Buy things that make you happy and that you love! 

Talk to you later loves! 

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color!

left to right: Fiery Coral, Pink Rave, Violet Addict

Hola Ladies, 

I finally found these babies at my local Walgreens for $6.49. I was hoping for a BOGO or any other sale, but this week there wasn't any deal, but I couldn't skip out on these. I found the new regular glosses at my CVS, but I wasn't too impressed. I really wanted these for a full color, which they totally are. They are really bright and pigmented!! 

There are four colors in this formula. I bought 3 out of the 4. I'm not really into red glosses, I prefer a matte red, so I just reached for these other 3 colors. I love that they are really vibrant. These definitely scream spring and summer! They do have a strange scent, that I can't quite pinpoint, kind of like vanilla frosting. I also found that the names of the color don't really match the color in the tube.

Fiery Coral, my least fave, it is super NEON! This is definitely the brightest. It kind of reminds me of Mac "Candy Yum-Yum". I would say this looks like a barbie pink on me, far from coral. I would of named this one "Pink Rave"

Pink Rave, my FAVE! It compliments my skin perfectly. Its such a fun color, without being too in your face. 

Violet Addict, I was most excited about this one. I would say I'm a "violet addict", I couldn't get enough purples this fall/winter. The color is nice, but it was disappointing, I wanted MORE purple, not what I expected. 

What do you think on these??
