new lipstick – Karissa Talks Beauty

Hello friends!

Surprisingly, there wasn’t a lot that interested me this time around! I really couldn’t say why, either – there just wasn’t a bunch of holiday collections that looked like something I needed.

A few holiday packs stood out as something I wanted to try, including both the Becca holiday collection & Disney Frozen Anna Collection! I might need to pick up some of the gifts if they go on sale – especially that MAC advent calendar.

New at Ulta | August 5 – September 1, 2019

September 2, 2019September 2, 2019 Karissa

Hello friends!

I’m back with yet another New at Ulta, and this month was pretty exciting! New brands were introduced, as well as awesome new products!

I’m especially excited for all the new collections being released; like Beauty Bakerie, Tarte, and Too Faced! Plus anytime Colourpop can be purchased at Ulta makes it even more awesome, since basically half of my makeup is Colourpop.

As usual, there’s a ton of eyeshadow palettes that peaked my attention; surprisingly, I seem to have also been drawn in by concealers and setting sprays!

New At Ulta | May 20 – June 9, 2019

Hello friends!

This edition of New At Ulta has a lot less on it than usual! I found that there wasn’t a lot that stood out to me as something I wanted to buy. I’m not sure if this is true, but I also feel like there wasn’t a ton that got released during this time period on Ulta! I’m assuming it’s because this is just a slow time for makeup releases and that as we get closer to September (read: holiday!) we’ll have a lot more to look at and chat about.

One big thing to note was the addition of more Kylie Cosmetics items, so I have quite a few on my list of want to purchase! I’ve never tried her products, but I do own one of the lip kits. I’m curious about her powder products!

Hello friends!

We’re here for another edition of my New at Ulta series! I love browsing the New Arrivals section and seeing what peaks my interest; there’s always so much to choose from. I actually ended up picking up a few of these after my no buy in April was over. I grabbed the Ulta Dry Shampoo Kit and the MAC Aladdin Lipstick in Rajah!

MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick “Mull It Over” | Review

March 15, 2019October 20, 2022 Karissa

Hello friends!

I feel like MAC is a brand that almost every makeup lover has heard of; it’s definitely got a reputation and has been around for a very long time! I wanted to make it a point to start testing some of their cult classic products and see if they’re worth the price or not.

Unlike their classic lipsticks, this is a brand new formula called the Powder Kiss lipstick, which is a matte, powdery formula that gives you a smooth and blurred look on your lips.

Color: Mull it Over is a warm peachy nude that tends to pull very orange on me, unfortunately. Sometimes warm pink nudes tend to look much less pretty pink and way more bright orange, which is not flattering in my opinion.

When this formula first launched, this color was the closest to a wearable nude for me. They recently came out with new shades, some of which are much better for me in terms of an every day shade!
