Cosmetic Gold

Lately, I have been spoiling myself with new cosmetic products. I love to buy makeup and skin care products to try, but using new products is always risky. Cosmetics always require some type of trial and error process. I've been quite lucky with my recent purchases so I decided to share them with you.

The most expensive splurge has been my Kylie Jenner lip kits. I bought the matte lipstick and liner set Candy K and fell in love with this product. I was already obsessed with Kylie's makeup style in the first place. Her lip kits are totally worth all the hype. The formula smells amazing and goes on your lips very well. It also lasts through eating, drinking and daily lip threats. I also ordered the shades Mary Jo K and King K. The only downfall about Kylie's kits is that they sell out way too quickly. They're also quite expensive. Compared to other big name brands they are reasonable, though. It took me forever to get one because it's so hard to catch the restock times. Kylie has been working hard to get everyone lip kits by creating more product and bigger restocks. I applaud her professionalism. She is always apologizing and taking responsibility for her products being so hard to get. She is a very trustworthy business owner.

Another product I really love right now is Elf's lip exfoliator. It's a beauty steal for only $3. It has saved my lips from drying out and cracking. I use it as a normal part of my beauty routine now. It's just a cinnamon sugar scrub of some sort. It plumps up lips and if you add some chapstick right after using it, you'll love the results. Definitely add this product to your make up routine. Elf makes a lot of quality products and they are always quite cheap. I use their highlighting powder and blush as well. Elf is also a great brand to buy makeup brushes from. I use a combination of Elf brushes and Eco tools brushes. I don't really care to spend a lot on brushes, so Elf is the perfect brand for me.

Now, I want to talk about my favorite brand of makeup. That brand is NYX. NYX is sold in Ulta and other similar stores. NYX products are pretty cheap, but they work more like high end products. I just recently bought the NYX Dewy Skin Setting Spray. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Normally, my face ends up being very matte finished after I set all of my liquids in powder. I hate when this happens because it looks too dry and unnatural. The NYX dewy setting spray is the perfect end to my face routine. It makes my face makeup look natural and hides all of my dry spots that power seems to highlight. I also use the NYX soft matte liquid lipsticks. They look and feel just like Kylie's Lip kits. The only problem is that NYX's lip products don't last all day. But, for only $5 they are a much cheaper option compared to Kylie's.

If you're looking to find some great beauty products, definitely do some research before you buy anything. I always search Pinterest and ask my friend's opinions before committing to a product. I like to buy trusted products with great reviews. Researching your products will save you from wasting money and being unhappy. Makeup can be tricky, but with the right products you can create the perfect look.
