makeup brands – Karissa Talks Beauty

Hello friends!

Today I wanted to share the products that I’ll be playing with in October and (hopefully!) getting a review out on them soon. Let me know if you’re especially curious about anything you see and I’ll try to prioritize getting a review out on them!

Base:

Make Up For Ever Step 1 Smoothing Primer: I haven’t had much testing time with this primer, but the fact that it’s supposed to help minimize the look of pores is definitely something I’m interested in trying!

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation: I’ve heard decent things about this foundation & I’ve gotten the chance to wear it a few times, but it’s been a while since I’ve really worn a full face so I want to see what I think for sure.

An Introduction to Beauty 101

May 17, 2019May 13, 2019 Karissa

Hello friends!

One thing that’s important to know about me is that I am a naturally curious person. I ask a lot of questions, some of which are better than others. And I ask questions about everything.

As I started getting into makeup, I heard lots of words that I was unsure of what they meant. To be honest, I still don’t know what some of them mean. That is why I have decided to start this series: I have so many questions about makeup, skincare, ingredients, what the purpose of different products are, etc. and you know what they say: if you have a question about something, chances are other people do, too!

New at Ulta | March 3 – March 30, 2019

April 1, 2019March 31, 2019 Karissa

Hello friends!

After my first New at Ulta post, I decided that I really enjoy doing a wrap up of the products I’m interested in and wanted to start making it a regular occurrence.

One thing that I wanted to share is that there were originally items on this list that have been removed, such as the Morphe 35G palette and the Kylie Cosmetics Ulta Beauty lip kit. I did this because when I had the chance to look at them in store I was seriously disappointed in the pigmentation of the 35G palette, and I didn’t love the color of the lip kit.

If you would like me to continue to share those products and just note them somewhere, let me know!
