got glam cosmetics - review


Hello friends!

Today I wanted to talk to you all about some lovely makeup products from Got Glam Cosmetics!
These were sent to me a little while ago, and I've been testing them out so that I can share my opinion with you all :)


Waterproof Mascara (black) : (US$22.00, CAD $30.22)

I've absolutely fallen in love with this product!  Typically, I don't like waterproof mascaras and find that they don't end up looking nearly as nice after being in the water.
But, that definitely isn't the case for this one!  I've recently started teaching swimming lessons, and even after hours in the pool this keeps my lashes looking amazing.




Plumping Lip gloss (in the shades radiant & sassy)   (US$18.00, CAD $24.72)

These glosses are like nothing else in my makeup collection!  They are packed with glitter, and look gorgeous alone, or over lipstick.  The golden colour reminds me a lot of the Jouer Cosmetics Lip Topper in the shade skinny dip, which has been a favourite in the makeup community ever since it was released :)
I adore this high-shine, plumping formula and I know I'll get a lot of use out of these. They're so lovely!

pretties for your face - review

Hello everyone!

Today I will be reviewing some gorgeous products from an Etsy shop called Pretties for Your Face!  PFYF is an adorable makeup brand which sells eyeshadows, highlighters, and pressed glitters.  They kindly sent me a few things to try out so I could share them with you :)  So here they are!



These are by far the most intense and glowy highlighters in my makeup collection!  They are such blendable, soft powders and a little bit goes such a long way.  They are also cruelty free, which is amazing. Also, all the highlighters in the shop are currently buy 1 get 1 free :)


The shades that were sent to me are rainbow goodness and aphrodite ~


 rainbow goodness is such a unique product, and is different from anything else in my collection!  I've seen rainbow highlighters like this trending in the makeup community lately, and I think that it is such an adorable and innovative idea.  This isn't a product I wear day to day, but it is so great to have for photo-shoots, and for Halloween :)
The way I've gotten the most use out of this product is by using the individual shades as eyeshadows. They are all very pigmented and have the most gorgeous sheen ~ so lovely!


aphrodite has quickly become my favourite highlighter in my collection!  It's a pearly white colour, which is the perfect highlight shade for my fair skin.  This product reflects light so beautifully, and gives a super intense glow!  Make sure to use a light hand when applying it cause you only need a little bit :) I've received countless compliments and questions when I've worn this, cause it's just so beautiful!


eyeshadows

PFYF makes so many gorgeous eyeshadows and pressed glitters!  They are very pigmented, shimmery, and blendable.  I have noticed a bit of fall-out when I use them though, so I recommend applying your eyeshadow before any face makeup when you're using these.


The shades that were sent to me are copper craze and midnight ~

Copper craze is a stunning warm toned metallic shade which is absolutely perfect for the fall.  Midnight is a duo-chrome black with a strong navy blue shift.

These shadows come in metal pans which will pop into any magnetic palette. I keep mine in my MAC customizable palette, but you can also purchase a 4 pan magnetic palette from PFYF, or place them in a Z-palette.


These are such lovely products and I am so thankful to Pretties for Your Face for sending them to me!
I hope you guys will check out their shop, and let me know which of these products you like best!

xoxo
