First ColourPop Order

Trying out new purchases from ColourPop

It’s been a really long time since I did a Beauty Blog post, but I figured I’d do a quick run down for my first ColourPop order.

Back around December/January I was seeing a lot of ads for ColourPop, and they were having a pretty nice sale – so I put out the call on my socials to see if anyone I knew had ever bought from them – and… crickets.

Either my post didn’t get seen (thanks algorithm), or no one I knew had ordered from them to give feedback.  In early June, they had another similar sale (not quite as good, but pretty good all the same…) so I figured I’d take the plunge and check it out.

Dreamgirl & Boudoir Eyes

While I was doing a lot of cosmetic shopping at Winners, I first passed up this Boudoir Eyes eyeshadow mini-palette from Two-Faced. I mentioned it to a friend, and she said that she thought I’d like their products – because for pale skin the shades still showed up…

So when I was back at a different Winners, and found it again – I picked it up.

Swatches of Vision, Dragon, and Paris… the three #limeCrime Diamond Dew shades I bought at @winners recently. May 13 I'll have a #blog post about these #cosmetics; read my #beautyBlog for thoughts about consistency, transparency and how true the colour is in person compared to the web photos and descriptions.

One last post specifically about Lime Crime cosmetics I bought from Winners today. I bought three different shades of Diamond Dew; but I’m not nearly as obsessed with them as I am about the Diamond Crushers…

Beauty Obsession – Lime Crime Diamond Crushers

The the other day I posted about the Lime Crime cosmetics Hi-Lite palettes from Winners. Today… a much bigger obsession… the lip toppers called Diamond Crushers.

Beard balm – DIY recipes

Beard balm with vanilla and cinnamon leaf oil

While out shopping with a friend, he started checking out some beard balm and beard oil. He didn’t pick any up, but when his birthday rolled around, I bought him something, and wanted to make him some beard balm to gift him as well.

I started out with three recipes, each with different ratios – I figured I’d try a few different things and see what he liked in terms of scent and texture/moisture/etc.
