Bite Beauty - Palomino Lipstick Review

Hey Glitzies! Sorry it's been so long since I was last on, but life has been crazy with many things. I just want to post a quick review. As you know, I absolutely LOVE lip products! I also love bright pink, so the combination of the two is perfection to me. Palomino does not ONLY serve its purpose as a lipstick, but is also a great lip stain! I'm not sure if that's what this lipstick sets out to do, but dang it stays on! It was perfect to get me through an 8 hour day and I didn't have to worry about reapplying. I do recommend reapplying lip products with almost any brand to keep it looking fresh, but it isn't necessary for this one.

Here is what the container looks like. (I got the mini version in a kit.)


And here is what the swatch looks like.


It's pretty evident that this pink is bright and will definitely put focus on your mouth and lips. For people who are bold lip-product wearers, this should definitely be in your makeup bag.

MAC Prep + Prime

Hey Glitzies! I feel the need to put a review out there for MAC Prep + Prime because it is a very big part of my life. I love wearing lipstick, lip glosses, lip balms, etc. I love anything for the lips (including scrubs)! I almost always use this lip primer when I go to wear a lipstick or lip gloss. 



It goes on clear, which is also a plus! 



I really feel that it makes your lipstick or lip gloss look better overall. Whenever I have chapped lips, I make sure I put this on so my lipstick doesn't look bad. It's definitely worth a buy!

ColourPop Super Shock Shadow - Pop Rocks

Hey Glitzies! Like I mentioned in the makeup review before this, I have recently started to love Colourpop. Their products are so fun and colorful! So, I decided that this eyeshadow deserved a review.

Pop Rocks has beautiful purple, blue, and pink pigments in it, with glitter! It has a metallic finish, and I love how the blue color of it isn't too intense. The finish is mostly blue with glitter.

Here's a swatch on my hand.


Now here is what the container looks like.


And here is what the color of it looks like. I have used it so the coloring isn't 100%.


This product is very good and is $5.00. It's a good price for good quality, which I, like many people, love. Pop Rocks is a product that I won't mind purchasing again!

ColourPop Lippie Stix - Charm

ColourPop Lippie Stix - Charm 

This green lipstick has a very pretty satin finish and is very pigmented! I have recently began to fall in love with some of ColourPop's products. This lipstick is a very bright pastel green and I love how it looks. I will admit, I am one who loves bright and unnatural colored lipsticks, so this is great for me. I also love the way it feels, because you can feel it's there, yet it doesn't feel to heavy on your lips. 

Here's what the swatch looks like. I applied the same number of layers that I normally do for lipstick (more than one).


Here is what the container for it looks like.




Overall, this lipstick is a pretty good deal (in my opinion) for $5.00. You have to enjoy wearing some pretty crazy yet fun colors if you want to fully appreciate this lipstick. Even if you don't want to have the green color, there are plenty of more natural colors that you can purchase. In the end, I say that this is definitely worth a buy.

Peppermint Oreo Candy Bark

Since it's the winter season, peppermint is everywhere! I am definitely a person who loves the holiday/seasonal tastes and flavors. In the fall, I'm eating everything pumpkin spice and I'm chowing down on peppermint things in the winter. I am also a huge fan of Oreos and love sweets, so this recipe is one I had to try. 


I will admit, I was unable to find the peppermint Andes baking chips, but the regular mint ones still tasted great!

Hair Color

Hey Glitzies!

As a fan of colored hair, I always love seeing brightly dyed hair come up on whatever social networking site I'm looking at. I just want to know if anyone has had the guts to fully dye it like this. 


I love it but I'm a little too scared to do it. I only have the tips of my hair dyed (currently purple) but I want to dye all of my hair one day. If anyone has any tips, let me know! :) 

Lots of love <3
