MUST HAVE: Napoleon Perdis Iris Lipstick Review


While organizing my makeup this weekend I came across one of my old favorite lipsticks,
so of course I had to do a review. I don't know why I didn't do a review sooner.
 I actually bought this lipstick a few months back after I ran out of the Xenia (a nice deep red), I discovered IRIS and fell in love!, the color is amazing the perfect nude.

I first came across the "DeVine Goddess" collection while attending the Napoleon Perdis Academy and they have been on my must have list ever since.  This lipsticks come in a super cute package, which they redid not long ago and I love love love it!, the lipsticks are creamy and semi matte, they are full of herbal extracts and antioxidants and the colors are too die for!.

If you haven't tried Napoleon Perdis's DeVine Goddess lipsticks you are seriously missing out!.

you can purchase this lipstick ($25) and other colors at NapoleponPerdis.com or at a Napoleon Perdis counter in Nordstroms.

A Pop of color: BA STAR Review

  



BA STAR is a new brand to me and oh have I been missing out!. 
 I was excited to get the opportunity to try their new Tropical eyeshadow Palette, adding a pop of color is a must for the summer.

BA STAR is the Number One Performance Makeup for Cheerleading, All Star Cheerleading, Rec Cheerleading, Cheerleading Competitions, Dance Makeup.


 I received a palette with 5 eyeshadows and a eyeshadow glue (base).
 I wasn't sure if the colors will show up as bright as they looked and oh was I impressed,they are very well pigmented and shimmery, when I applied the eyeshadows without the glue the colors were bright but not as bright as they were when I used the eyeshadow glue. Not only were the colors bright but they also blend so well!.The palette comes with a brush but I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of the brush. 
with eyeshadow glue

without eyeshadow glue


Overall I'm really happy to have gotten a chance to try this amazing product, the colors are vivid and the eyeshadow glue is amazing!, BA STAR has amazing products and amazing prices. I will defiantly be ordering some more products from BA STAR. 
From now until July 4th you can get 50% off your purchase!
