This week Mariah Carey’s newest fragrance line, Lollipop Splash the Remix hit stores and of course I had to pick up all three scents from the collection right away. As a card carrying lamb I’m quick to get anything having to do with my beloved Mariah, but I’m particularly fond of her fragrances which I always seem to love. The latest line featuring everything from fun and fruity to rich oriental scents is no exception, so check out my thoughts on the line below and see which one is my favorite!

Final Verdict: LOVE IT!

A self proclaimed perfumista, I’m always on the lookout for new fragrances. So when I was contacted by JuicyLuci to do a review for their brand new fragrance line I jumped at the chance. I was sent two fragrances – their signature sent Juicy Luci, and a another called So Juicy – and love them both. Check out the video below and see what makes these scents so fabulous!

How fierce is this ad? I just love the color scheme.

You know I love the packaging. Beads and bling- what could be better?

Final Verdict: Love it

I’m always on the lookout for new sparkle to add to my makeup drawer, so when MakeupGeek mentioned this product in her last video I knew I would be making a trip to Ulta real soon. Not quite a glitter and not quite a pigment, this shimmering “top coat” goes over eyeshadow to add a little more sparkle without altering the color too severely. And after playing with this all night and trying it out with different eyeshadows, I think I’ve found my favorite new product! Not that I’m surprised- though it’s been discontinued I’m still completely obsessed with Lorac’s Glam Rocks. These guys just really know their way around shiny eyeshadow!

Though it only comes in one color, this can be used over any eyeshadow, alone or even as a highlighter making this a really versatile addition to your makeup collection.

This shimmering white color is gorgeous when worn alone. But placed over other colors it adds nothing more than an iridescent glow that’s almost…angelic.

The only glitter I’ve ever seen in liquid form, it comes in a 0.17 fl oz bottle with a dropper making it easy to dispense. I place one drop onto my hand then pick it up using my finger or a flat shader brush for more precise, spot application.

This is a swatch of just one drop of product, which you can see is fairly sheer. For a more intense look, build upon that until you have reached your desired amount of sparkle.

I can’t wait to use this in a tutorial, and best believe my makeup oriented little brain is already thinking of looks I can incorporate the 3D Lustre into. If you’re into maximum sparkle like I am, get this product. It’s definitely worth the money!

Final Verdict: Love it!
Price: $16

I originally planned to save this for a collective haul video, but since I’ve gotten a few messages asking if I had tried this gel yet I figured I would just do a quick little review. It’s not the worst gel ever, but I don’t really like it and here’s why:

This product would have scored much better with me had it not made my hair so crunchy. But I do really like where they’re going with the zero flaking so hopefully they tweak the ingredients a bit to offer the same benefits without the stickiness and crunch factor. For now however, I’ll stick to my Herbal Essences Set Me Up gel.

Final Verdict: Hated It!
Price: $2.94 at Target

Last week I received the most amazing package of goodies from theBalm cosmetics, and I’ve been hooked on them since. I’ve always liked theBalm, but I had only really used their concealers and mini brushes. Then I had the pleasure of meeting owner and founder Marissa Shipman as well as a few members of her lovely team at the Beautylish Spring event and she mentioned sending me a few products to try out. And boy did she! In my package I had everything from rich, velvety eyeshadows to the most amazing blushes this side of Nars. Check out my haul/review video below, and check back in a few days for product swatches!
