    Hi dolls!  Today, I am bringing you my review of the Colourpop Golden State of Mind Eyeshadow Palette!  As you probably know by now, I am obsessed with Colourpop's Pressed Eyeshadow Palettes.  I have already reviewed the Colourpop Yes, Please!

    Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder Review

    August 31, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Hiii, everyone!  Today, we will be reviewing the hugely popular Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powders!  These highlighters have been out for awhile, but I have not been able to find them at my local drugstores.  Those shelves get cleared out quick!  I was so pleased with the goodies from my recent Wet n Wild Haul (blogpost here) that I had to give these a try.  They recently released some new colors, but I decided to stick to the two OG shades that kickstarted the cult following, Crown of My Canopy and Precious Petals.

    Happy Saturday, everyone!  I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far.  Today I'm bringing you a quick review of the goodies from my Colourpop Mini Haul!  Is it just me or does it seem like Colourpop is releasing new makeup every other week?!  Thank you for taking all my money  I missed out on the initial release of the Yes, Please! Eyeshadow Palette and had been suffering from FOMO ever since  So when they had a restock, I wasn't gonna let the opportunity pass me by.  I couldn't resist the new Powder Bronzer and No Filter Concealers so those jumped into my shopping cart as well ;) Please read on to…
