Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadows

I'm finally getting around to posting about my last Sugarpill purchase from Camera Ready Cosmetics and I'm so happy because I haven't even played with them much until now and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner! These shades are stunning!
These are the Sugarpill ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadows!

Sugarpill Loose Eyeshadows from Camera Ready Cosmetics

Hi loves!

If you've been following me for a while, you most likely know I have a slight (unhealthy) obsession with Sugarpill. The color, pigmentation, longevity.. everything is beautiful to me. Since my last purchase from Camera Ready Cosmetics was so succesful, I decided to take the business of the rest of my Sugarpill wish list (which has since grown..) to Camera Ready Cosmetics!

CRC has super afforable shipping as well as free shipping after $60 (no code necessary). I think my last order ended up being under $4 for shipping, which is awesome. I really dislike having to pay nearly as much in shipping as I am for the product(s) I'm buying.

From the Sugarpill selection, I purchased Magpie, Junebug, Hellatronic, Royal Sugar, and Sparkage!
I officially have all of the ElektroCutes and they're SO gorgeous!

These eyeshadows, as expected from Sugarpill, are incredibly vibrant and pigmented. They are loose eyeshadows so they do take more TLC when applying than pressed eyeshadows but personally for me, it's totally worth it. The outcome is amazing! What you see IS what you get!

Here's a look I did using Hellatronic and Magpie. (Amongst many other Sugarpill products that are listed on my Instagram)

Hi loves! ♥ Today's post is sharing with you some of my Summer Beauty essentials!

I've been pretty excited for this post because living in Florida gives me a pretty good environment to find out what does and doesn't work in Summer heat and I have some makeup tips to share with you!

Peacock Peepers

Hellooo lovelies!

Today's look, as you can see, I nicknamed Peacock Peepers. This look came out reminding me of a
peacock (unintentional) and I thought this name would suit it pretty well!

Nanshy Eyeshadow Brush Set

Hi loves! I have another Nanshy brush review and to cut to the chase--I'm happy!
These brushes are so soft and have really shown me how much of a difference brushes make, I really wish they had a wider selection! I'm going to try to keep this review short for those of you who may be interested but don't want to read a lot, because I did cover the quality pretty well in my review of the Foundation Brush Set.

PROs:

Extremely soft

Distribute Product Accurately (& Easily!!)

Multi-Purpose

No Shedding

Easy to Clean

Cruelty-Free, Vegan, and Synthetic

Affordable (Approx. $6 per brush)

CONs:

This is less of a con and more of preference, I'd like a wider selection of brushes. The quality is great and I'd like to get my hands on more blending brushes of different assortments. I know they have their Luxury Makeup Brush Set but I personally haven't tried it so I'm not sure how the brushes compare in diversity/similarity.

Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with how these brushes have changed my makeup application. I never believed in the hype of brushes and how they "change how your makeup goes on", but it's actually really difficult for me to go back to my old brushes now. Especially since they feel really scratchy compared to these! I try to use these for every purpose possible but, seven brushes can only do so much.

This brush set retails for $44.95 on Amazon.

I highly suggest giving these Nanshy brushes a try if you're looking for some good ones!

Simple / Bright for Summer

Hi lovelies!

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen these looks by now, but for those of you that don't, I wanted to share a few here!

I've really been loving colorful looks as well as simple, so here are three that are colorful, simple, and both!

I hope you enjoy!

(DETAILS FOR EACH OF THESE LOOKS CAN BE FOUND ON MY INSTAGRAM)

Helionunculus

Hi beauties ♥

Today's look is another neutral eye with a pop on the lips. I've really been loving this, as if it hasn't become obvious;), it's just such a simple way to do a played down look but also "bring it to life".

If you're totally confused by the name of the makeup, I was lacking creativity and simply combined the two liquid lipstick names that I used for this look!

Simply Summer

Hi loves ♥

Today's look is a simple Summer-y look featuring orange and gold with a simple eye. I've really been loving simple, fresh makeup looks lately, especially when I incorporate colors into them.

I know it's still technically Spring but.. if you're in Florida then you understand why I'm calling it Summer already!

Model Co Cosmetics Designer Brow Kit

Disclaimer: This post contains press samples.

Hey!!

I have another review of a Model Co Cosmetics products for you all today!

This is their EYEBROWS Designer Brow Kit. If you've been reading ChrissyAi for a while now, you probably know I didn't get into eyebrow products until I was introduced to BDB. I prefer simple, natural looking brows. Anything too dark makes me feel like a cave (wo)man. (I don't say this towards to anyone else who likes dark and defined brows, I'm saying as a personal preference that I feel I look bad with dark brows.) Which is one reason why I love this product!

Shimmering Bronze

Hey!!

Today's makeup look is a soft and glow-y bronze look. I've been wanting to do something like this for a little while so I'm happy I finally got an idea together to do it! I wanted this look to be a little on the natural side but still eye catching so I went with my Red Cherry Lashes in #217. They can really add drama to any look!

black|Up Cosmetics Lipstick in 21 & M17

Disclaimer: Post contains PR samples.

black|Up Cosmetics is a brand that's new to me but was one of those brands that immediately drew my attention. I'm a complete sucker for sleek packaging which is probably one of the main reasons I was so excited to try them out!
Today I have two of their lipsticks, 21 and M17.

A little bit about the brand:

"Founded in 1999 by an African makeup artist, black|Up Cosmetics is the first dedicated upscale beauty brand to magnify black and mixed beauties. black|Up develops a true expertise answering darker complexion’s specific needs and offers products that pair professional quality and pleasure of use: velvety effects, mat or powdery finishes, perfect coverage, ultra vibrant colors, 100% non-ashy finish... Thanks to its unique offer, black|Up has become a key player in the makeup world that seduces black and mixed women as much as all the makeup addicts of the planet."

At first glance, this brand doesn't exactly seem like I'm it's targeted consumer.
However, you know the old saying don't judge a book by its cover? It applies here.

Macarooned Pastels + Pictorial

Hi loves!

Today I'm sharing a makeup look I did the other day using my D'Antoinette Palette along with a couple Sugarpill colors. 

I can't get enough of these palettes, I swear the colors are addicting!

Keep reading for the product list and tutorial!

Lime Crime Fantasy Palette D'Antoinette

Disclaimer: This post contains press samples.

Hellloooo!

I've had this gorgeous palette for quite some time now and I'm happy to bring you all this review. Just a warning, if you're a pastel lover like me, this may leave you drooling. The Lime Crime Fantasy Palette D'Antoinette has such an amazing selection of lovely pastel shades with a surprising twist of metallic, I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. 

The best part? They are surprisingly pigmented!

Nanshy Foundation Brushes

Disclaimer: This post contains press samples.

Today I bring you lovely readers a review of what has become my favorite set of brushes over the past year.

The quality and presentation of Nanshy has easily won me over and I'm so happy to finally be getting this review up for you all! I've featured these brushes in many of my posts under my "tools" list and as well as in my brush cleaning video.

As usual, I want to share information with you about the brand because personally it's a pretty big part of why they're so awesome!

Colored Eyeliner!

Color liner.. I'm obsessed!

Ever since I bought my Sugarpill eyeshadows, I've been completely obsessed with doing colored eyeliner. They are SO pigmented and work extremely well with the DG Superstar Serum. —And surprisingly, it wears a lot better than most eyeliners I own! If you don't already own the Superstar Serum, I think you really need to buy it. It goes for only $3 and if I recall, shipping is fair as well.

Here are a couple looks I've done with colored liner lately, I hope you enjoy!

I posted this first look on Instagram a few weeks back, I really loved how it came out! Sugarpill's Velocity worked so extremely well with the Superstar Serum, it gave such a bold and bright look without even really doing much!
If you're interested in seeing the products I used for this look, I've put them in the Instagram post!

This next look is just as simple but I used Sugarpill's Midori.

I didn't like this look as much as the previous but I was still happy with the vibrancy of Midori!

The details of this makeup will be in the Instagram post as well once posted!

Do you like the colored liner trend? What are your favorite colors to wear?

I'd love to know!!

Bright Coral Makeup (Yay For Spring!)

I'm not sure how other states are doing but I am absolutely loving the Florida weather lately! It has been hot and sunny but with a great breeze! I've really been wanting to do some bright makeup looks but lately I've been in a bit of a slump. Hopefully I'm coming out of it now because I have so many ideas brewing!

I am absolutely in love with how vibrant Sugarpill eyeshadows are, I can't stop using them!

The lashes I used for this look are the Red Cherry #747XS from ObsessedCanda.com. I am absolutely in love with these! They are the perfect size, to me, for a natural and full look and hopefully you can tell in the photos, they look so natural! So far, they applied the easiest out of any lashes I've tried and they were extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this pair! (Obsessed Canada also offers free shipping on all orders to Canadian residents!)

My Current Favorites

Hey everyone!

I haven't done a favorites post in what feels like forever so I figured why not? These aren't ALL my favorites (because I do have a lot..) but I figured this way I could share some and leave some for future posts as well! I hope you enjoy!

Smith Farms Marshmallow Face Cream

 "This face cream has been my favorite for a little over a year now.

I got the chance to try it out when I won Jayne’s giveaway for it and ever since I’ve been head over hels for it! It applies smoothly without a greasy or oily finish and absorbs into the skin within minutes. I love that it doesn’t sit on the surface for a long period of time since I use it at night and that would basically result in it transferring to my pillow. Unfortunately, this will most likely be my last bottle of the face cream due to the price increase and shipping cost. As much as I love the product, I think it’s time we part ways until the price becomes more feasible for me." +It also takes such a small amount!!

#WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias

Hey guys! Today I have a makeup tutorial for you on a simple everyday winged liner look! This is typically what I do when I go to do winged liner (with the exception of when I'm feeling creative for blog posts).

For this look, I went to Walgreens looking for all the right products to create an everyday look! I have to say that Walgreens made this incredibly easy.. but also incredibly difficult. I don't know about other Walgreens, but mine was almost overwhelming it had SUCH a large selection of products! I walked in and had no idea where to start, there was so much to choose from but luckily I had an idea of what I wanted. I initially had in mind I wanted a medium coverage foundation, concealer, and an eyeliner that would give me precision to use for wings! Now.. of course I ended up with more than planned. I mean.. look at all the options!

DIY Sugarpill Pro Palette - Ben Nye 12 Color Palette from CameraReadyCosmetics

Hey loves! Today I have a super fun (well, I think so..) tutorial for you on how to DIY a Sugarpill Pro Palette using an empty Ben Nye palette from Camera Ready Cosmetics. First off, to give you some details, the palette is only $9 from the CRC website (guaranteed lowest price!) and it got to me within two days of being shipped at the cost of under $3. (I believe it was $2.90) I don't know about you guys, but this completely blew my mind. The shipping was incredibly fast and so cheap! The palettes came wrapped so securely in the package, I seriously believe CRC knows what they're doing and they will be getting my business whenever I need to purchase something they have.
