makeup update – 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.

New at Ulta | September 2 – September 29, 2019

Hello friends!

It looks like Holiday season is now upon us! I had a real love for the new eyeshadow palettes this time around – 6 of the new items are palettes! Additionally, I’m really loving the little kits that come out and had quite a few on this list. I just feel like kits are an amazing way to try a lot of different products/colors at a much more affordable price – plus, I have too much makeup to ever go through, so the smaller products make me feel like there’s a chance of finishing them!

Recent Beauty Empties | Spring 2019

July 1, 2019June 30, 2019 Karissa

Hello friends!

I’m back today to share the products that I used up between March and June! While it’s not as many as I wish, I’m still happy to make any progress. Plus, I tried some amazing products this time around!

Bubble & Charm Body Wash “Cups of Tea”: This was not a bad body wash! I really enjoyed the fragrance of it, but it didn’t foam up much which I like in my body washes. I got it for free, but I don’t think I would buy it.

Purlisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk: Purlisse is one of my favorite skincare brands, and this cleanser was incredible! I would use it on bare skin and skin with makeup and it removed the makeup entirely without feeling like my skin was getting dried out. I have a hard time getting in the routine of cleansing every night (when I’m not wearing makeup), but with this I actually really enjoyed doing it. I would absolutely purchase this when my collection gets smaller!

Where Are They Now? | Makeup I Reviewed Between January and March 2019

May 27, 2019May 19, 2019 Karissa

Hello friends!

One thing I’ve noticed in the beauty community is that oftentimes we will talk about something once, share our thoughts, and then never return to it again. I would have done the exact same thing too had I not heard someone bring up this awesome idea!

Today, I wanted to share where the makeup products I reviewed between January and March have gone. That means if they stayed in my collection, moved elsewhere, or were rehomed.
