First Impressions On The New Products

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation

I received this foundation for a collaboration with Lancome and although I used it in my latest makeup tutorial, I have yet to share it in writing on the blog. I’ve never tried a high-end foundation before this one and I can say that I am thoroughly impressed. I can definitely see a difference in this foundation from drugstore foundations! This foundation has a pump which is super convenient, a huge shade range, and keeps me matte all day. This foundation deserves all the praise it’s been receiving lately!

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer

This concealer was so nice when applied over top of the Lancome foundation. It’s definitely on the thicker side when it comes to concealer so a little goes a long way with this! I would recommend using the tiniest amount when applying under the eyes as it will crease up if you apply too much. It does an amazing job at brightening and covers blemishes like a dream!

Anastasia Contour Kit

I’m not exactly a first time user of this palette but I decided to include it in the first impressions portion as I did just receive a brand new one. I ran out of a few of the shades in my original contour kit so picking up a new one was a necessity as the banana powder and contouring shades are all apart of my everyday makeup routine. I cannot say enough good things about this palette; I think it’s perfect for both beginners and professionals alike!

Anastasia Glow Kit in Sundipped

I know I’m late but I decided it was finally time to hop on the bandwagon and pick up a Glow Kit! Boy am I glad that I finally jumped the gun. This kit is an awesome deal as you get four highlighters for $40 as opposed to one of their individual highlighters being $28. The shades are all beautiful and leave you truly glowing! With a little Mac Fix Plus added to one of these bad boys, you could definitely blind someone – that’s seriously how pigmented these all are!

Violet Voss Creme Brulee Eyeshadow Palette

I haven’t heard too much about Violet Voss eyeshadows from anyone other than Tati, but when I saw this beauty by the register at Sephora I was instantly drawn to it. There are ten eyeshadows in this mini palette and it sells for $18 which is honestly a steal for high-end eyeshadows! I was so pleasantly surprised by the pigment and blendability of these shades + they are all warm tones which are my preferred choice. I cannot wait to play around with this palette some more and know that it will quickly become a favorite of mine.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara

This mascara lengthened my lashes like none other – holy crap! Not to mention it was super separating as well. However, I didn’t find that it added a whole lot of volume to my look so I layered it with my Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mascara which did just the trick!

What new makeup have you been trying out lately?! I’d love to hear your current favorites below along with any other questions, comments, or requests you may have for me. I hope you found today’s post helpful in some way. Thanks for stopping by!

With love, McKenz
