I had previously come accross the brand ColorPop while watching Youtube videos. The producs all seemed amazing from the reviews I had seen, so I thought why not try them out? When I got my first order I was hooked! The products are so creamy and pigmented! Did I also mention very affordable? What woman doesn’t love makeup that is affordable? They are based in Los Angeles and their products are only tested on humans. Another thing I love about them! No animal testing!They recently came out with some new blushes-Super Shock Cheeks (can I just say they are also amazing). So today I have a little bit of a mixture of the products for you!

I got two of their new blushes Prenup & Birthday Suit. The Super Shock Cheeks are 4.2 grams and $8 each. The blushes are a sponge like cream to powder texture. They have 20 different blushes to choose from in so many different ranges of shades and finishes.

Left to Right: Birthday Suit and Prenup. Birthday Suit is a Neutral Pink with a satin finish and Prenup is a mid-tone plum pink in a satin finish.

Top to Bottom: Prenup and Birthday Suit. When swatched they look very similiar to each other. I do feel though that I like Prenup a little more but both are really pretty and perfect for spring (I’m so ready for Spring, it’s not even funny).

Here is the recommendation on how to apply the blushes via ColourPop:

Fingertips will provide the highest amount of coverage. Brush suggestions: Use a flat synthetic cheek/ foundation brush or a short duo fiber brush; flat synthetic brush will give more coverage and the duo fiber brush will give a more sheer, air brushed effect. WHEN FINISHED: Close that sucker up tight! Don’t leave the jar opened for long periods of time; you may lose some of the magic that makes the Super Shock Cheek so amazzzing. Colour builds from natural- looking flushed looks to more intense bright looks. … Build to your heart’s desire!

Now on to some of their other great products!

Pictured here are two of their Lippie Stixs & Lip Pencils. Top to Bottom: Lumiere (lippie stix is the thicker one and the smaller one is the lip pencil) and Flawless. Lumiere is a dusty mauve pink in a satin finish and Flawless is deep red violet in a satin finish. These go on amazingly soft! They have shades that range from black to red and everything in between. The lippie stix and pencils are $5.

These are the amazing Super Shock Eye Shadows! These also have a sponge like cream to powder texture. They are 2.1 grams and are $5. These do not require any brushes for the application, unless you’re using one of the colors for your crease. They go on perfectly with just using your fingers (though you don’t want to press into the shadows to hard because it will hit pan). A little bit of the product will go a long way!

Top to Bottom: Desert, Girl Crush, I Heart This and Bill. Desert is a warm saddle brown with a taupe satin finish. Girl Crush is a mid-tone true gray with a matte finish. I Heart This is a cool-toned silvery taupe with multi-coloured glitter. Last but not least, Bill which is a muted plum beige with a Matte Finish. These eyeshadow are to die for!

As you can tell I am definitely obsessed with ColorPop products! I was extremely impressed that they had great products for such a great price. I would recommend that you check them out! To see more of what they have to offer visit their website at https://colourpop.com/

Ladies, sometimes we just have to break the rules!!

First things first, if you’re like us and most women, we struggle with how critical we are on ourselves! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Every commercial, song, magazine and news article portrays “railway model skinny” but, it’s about having love and respect for yourself and the body God has blessed you with. It’s interesting how society has these rules on how women are supposed to act or look like, or what we should and should not wear. It’s up to our own individual selves to decide on how we show ourselves in public. It is also up to us as women to support and not judge each others choices. Be confident in your own skin and learn to love your body and that will be a huge accomplishment for yourself!!!!

Don’t let society define how you want to portray yourself. If you want to wear that one piece of clothing item for the rest of your life, you GO GIRL and you ROCK IT, because that’s what makes you comfortable. It’s something that should make you feel self-defined. We are all different and beautiful in our own way. We should not judge others or ourselves. Let us all work on self-improvement and progression…for life! There is always room for that. Wake up each morning and tell yourself how beautiful YOU are!!!

While doing our first shoot for the blog, Kacie and I, were so hard ourselves with how we looked in our pictures. We felt that this would be a great article to not only inspire ourselves for future shoots but to let all women know, they are beautiful!!!

Secondly, lets get into what we are wearing in this post!

The Maurices Pants I (Kacie) am wearing are killer!!! Very versatile for dressy business or casual Fridays. They are super basic but I am obsessed with the fit. If you’re built like me with a little extra in the back ;), you can relate when its hard to find a good pair of jeans to fit you correctly. I strongly recommend these! These are probably the best pair of jeans I own and oh so affordable. Kacie’s outfit details: Top and Undershirt: Mimosa Boutique, Jeans and Wedges: Maurices , Hat: Dillards and Watch: Michael Kors.

I, (Mistle) chose this outfit for the shoot because the weather had been nasty that day and I just wanted to be comfortable. Let’s be honest, sometimes being comfortable wins over being overly dressy, especially when the weather in the South, does not want to corporate with you! Mistle’s outfit details: Shirt: Kohls, Jeans: Target, Clutch: Charming Charlies and Watch: Michael Kors.

We hope you enjoyed this post and our outfits! Please feel free to leave any comments below!
