New Beauty Pick Ups ♡

One of my many interests is obviously beauty, with or without makeup. This post might be about makeup, but just because I love makeup does not mean I do not believe in natural beauty. I don't necessarily use makeup as a cover up but instead as a hobby. I enjoy accentuating my natural beauty, and I do not use makeup to please anyone else but myself. But now, I have three items I recently picked up that I want to share about to you.

**Sorry for the inconsistent background which I know might be a bit unappealing to the eyes.

I really wanted to get another lip pencil but even though I enjoyed the NARS one I had, I wouldn't repurchase it. It didn't last long at all and was a bit dry. I decided to purchase a Bobbi Brown Art Stick because they have a creamy formula and you can sharpen them, with a complimentary sharpener. I was very impressed with the results. I chose the color Harlow Red because I've been dying for a good quality red. It is very vibrant and stays on for a long time. Overall I would rate it a 4.5/5 

The second item is the Buxom Lash mascara in Blackest Black. Although this is a volumizing formula, it works really well as a lengthening mascara as well. I usually use two mascara for my lashes but I could truly just use this one by itself to get fuller, longer lashes. It's also very clump-free, which is incredible. The only con is the size of the brush as it might be a bit hard to get the product in the corners. This mascara works even better by using it with the Maybelline Volum' Express The Colossal Washable Mascara. Overall I would rate it 3.8/5

It's always so hard to purchase a new eyeshadow palette because they are probably the most expensive items in your makeup collection and you want it to worth the money. I have a lot of nudes but I really wanted a wider variety. I was thinking of buying either the Urban Decay Vice3 or the Tarte Bon Voyage Collector's Set but the Master Class palette definitely had a broader range for the best price. It has 32 eyeshadows, contour powder, bronzer powder, highlighter powder, and 3 blushes. The colors a highly pigmented and they last all day, with primer of course. The contour and bronzer work just fine but the I am not too crazy about the highlighter. The blushes are beautiful shades, my favorite is flush. The packaging is very, very sturdy and travel friendly. Also, it includes look cards and face charts for those just getting into make-up. Overall I would rate it a 4/5.
