Hello again my little Quiches! 
This is part 3 of 3 of my Holy Grail 
makeup products installment. I was just 
going to do one whole post....but it would
have been way too long!
Today I will be talking about my holy grail makeup products! I use these everyday and they have never failed me (Well, most of them!). I have some swatches as reviews to go along with these products as well. I will put links under each product so you can check them out!

Disclaimer: I have recently only been trying to purchase cruelty free makeup products. The products that are not cruelty free that are in the post, are ones that I will not be repurchasing, but I am just trying to use them up and get rid of them!

 This post will be a short one! I will be talking about my favorite lip products, and brushes. I did swatches of all the lip products, but they didn't turn out :( Any swatches in this post do not belong to me!
Alright, Let's start with brushes.

BH Cosmetics 10 Piece Sculpt & Blend
I actually found these brushes at TJ Max! I bought them because everything that I've recieved from BH Cosmetics has been wonderful. I am so glad I picked these up!!! I use them every single day and they have replaced all of my other brushes. I would 100% order these again, refer them to a friend...anything! They are really inexpensive and cruetly free so that's a huge plus ;)








Wet & Wild  (Pink Brushes)
In the top picture above there was a sneaky wet & wild brush. These pink & White brushes are amazing. They are so soft apply product very evenly. There is no shedding whatsoever and again...CRUELTY FREE AND VERY INEXPENSIVE!!! 


Lip Products!
1. Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Plumsup
This was actually the first plumping gloss I have ever tried... and I'm so excited to try more. I love to put this over matte liquid lipsticks for extra moisture. Now at first it can be kind of scary because because your lips get all tingly and they sting...but after you use this product for a while you will start to love it! Whether or not it actually does make my lips bigger, I don't know about that, but it is very long lasting, and it smells like chocolate!


2. Tarte Amzaonian Butter Lipstick in Plummy Rose
To be honest I bough this product not knowing if I would actually use it. I bought this when I first started wearing lip products and I didn't know how long that phase would last....turns out it wasn't a phase...but a way of life! I use this color pretty much every day. It feels like a chapstick, it's minty and refreshing, it literally goes with any makeup look, and it is a beautiful color. I need to get more of these lipsticks because  I'm always reaching for this one! Plus the packaging is super cute!


3. Colourpop Cosmetics Liquid & Satin Lipsticks in EVERY COLOR!!!

Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand next to Too Faced. I own so many lip colors by them that I can't even pick a favorite, so I went ahead and just put every color as my favorite. Their liquid lipsticks are SO matte that they will not budge. I could wear just one coat for an entire day and it would still look good. Their satin lip products are great too. If you want the long lasting effect but a little more moisturizing... this is the product for you. Honestly this brand in itself is a holy grail. I am so excited to try their new glosses as soon as I get the chance. But please try their products! They are only $6.00 and for that price they are honestly a steal.

Hello again my little Quiches!

Disclaimer: I have recently only been trying to purchase cruelty free makeup products. The products that are not cruelty free that are in the post, are ones that I will not be repurchasing, but I am just trying to use them up and get rid of them!


Let's Start with primer!

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
This primer is fantastic! Just like any other Too Faced product tbh. It applies very thin and and doesn't add any extra color to the skin. I really like that about this primer because there are some eye shadow primers out there that are thick, clumpy, and don't dry well. This dries so fast and really does prolong the length that my eye shadow stays on.


Eye shadows


1. The Graveyard Girl Swamp Queen Pallete by Tarte.
So let's be real. I was fangirling so hard when I found out that Tarte was coming out with this pallete. I was just waiting and waiting for it to be in stock again and I finally got my hands on it. This pallete....I can't believe I'm going to say this....is my ALL TIME favorite pallete. The colors are so versatile, you can create an endless amount of looks with these colors. Let me just say that the pictures do not do it justice. The bronzer, highlight, and blush in this pallet also kick some serious ass. You can do so many things with this and I would recommend it to everyone!

2. The Kat Von D Shade & Light Eye Pallete.
This pallete would be perfect for beginners. It's very easy to blend and has all the colors you could possibly need for neutral eye looks.I actually use the middle of the top 3 shades to powder my eyebrows! Kat Von D always saves my life when I don't know what to do with my eye shadow.




Eyeliner/ Eyebrows

1. (On the far left) Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in Blonde.
I've actually just started using this product. It is very thick...in a good way, and makes your brows look phenomenal. The color pay off is crazy!

2. Anastasia Brow Pencil in Taupe.
Next to the brow pomade we have this Anastasia Brow pencil. I LOVE this product. I like this better than the gel only because of the ease. It is so simple to put on and so easy to blend. I always use this when I'm in a hurry and it gives me great results!



3. Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Liner in Black
Next to the Anastasia Brow Pencil we have this Stila liquid liner. This liner really does stay on all day. I mean it does not budge. The felt tip is very easy to work with. This liner has great color pay off and dries to a matte finish! I don't believe that Stila is cruelty free, so I'll probably be trying Kat Von D's liquid liner next.

4. Rimmel Exaggerate Retractable pencil in Black.
Last but not least we have this Rimmel liner. I use this for my upper waterline and lower. It doesn't have the best staying power but I hardly ever use eyeliner on my waterlines so it makes it good enough for me! It's very affordable and does it's job. As far as I know, Rimmel is not cruelty free so I will not be repurchasing when I run out!


Mascara

1. Maybelline Colossal Spider Effects Mascara
If I had to rate this mascara out of 5 stars, I would give it a 3. I actually don't particularly like this product as much as I though I would, but I needed a new cheap base mascara and thought that I would give this a try. I was really hoping for thick and clumpy as hell lashes but it really doesn't do that for me. I only included this product because I use it everyday...and I'm just trying to get rid of it! Not cruelty free. Will not be repurchasing.

2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
Okay, so I never thought that a high end mascara would be any different than a drugstore mascara but boy was I wrong. This gives me the fullest, most beautiful lashes I've ever seen a mascara give me. I love to pair this with the Lash Sensational mascara for extra volume. These two are amazing together!

3. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
I haven't been able to find a drugstore mascara that I like for a very long time until I ran across this little gem. This mascara gives me such long and full lashes. It's crazy how great this product is. I am so very bummed that this is not cruelty free.
