Motives Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadows

Motives Cosmetics- probably my only "high end" makeup.  I am completely content with the makeup, and my makeup collection. I reached out to someone who sold Motives Cosmetics through Instagram and she reached out to her representative. I started talking to her representative Kathy, and was telling her that I am interested in the cosmetics, and working with Motives. Sadly, i'm not 18..... yet. She was telling me about the teen program, where they sell Motives and receive commission. I made my website, and am now apart of the Motives Cosmetics family, but each Teen in the Teen Program (under 18); gets sent a kit. The kit includes 1 Motives Kohl eyeliner, 1 cream eyeshadow, 2 pressed eye-shadows, 1 pressed blush, and 2 nail lacquers.  (Prices will be located at the end of blog.)
I was very excited to be apart of the Motives crew, and immediately started posting my info on all my social media sites! Although I have no made a sale, I'm still very content with the makeup I was sent.

The purple eyeshadow is in Fantasy, and the Gold shimmery eyeshadow is in Bling. These eye-shadows are amazing! Although I have been in the process of moving, I've yet to create a look with it.... But will VERY soon.
The pigmentation in these eye-shadows are amazing! I couldn't even complain about the shadow themselves. The only thing I would complain about would be, the pan moves in the packaging. Just wish the magnet would be more effective. Other than the pan moving, I have no other complaints! 



 
 The pictures truly do not do justice of the pigmentation of these eye-shadows. 
(Sorry about bad quality pictures, my auto focus in my camera is broken.)

NYX Lip Butters

To start off, I wanted to state that I am NOT a lip-gloss kind of girl, I never really have been. A lot of the lip-glosses I've tried was too sticky on my lips, or too thick. I always seen a lot of beauty gurus, and beauty people of you-tube and instagram post pictures of them! I was very skeptical at first, but I honestly had to try them for myself!
I was searching on amazon for makeup, I absolutely love getting makeup from there, even drug store products are really cheap! Anywho, i'm rambling. I was searching for makeup, then typed in "NYX lip butter set", which comes with three of them- the first set I seen was "enchanted kiss butter lip gloss set" it comes with Merengue, creme brulee, and apple strudel. The set was only $13.23, but if you go down to New & Used, I got mine for $9.00 + free shipping ***Note that it was BRAND new, I don't buy used products.  I was very satisfied that the package wasn't damaged or broken. I opened them up and swatched them on my hand! I didn't think that they were too thick, or too sticky at all. Especially with me not being into lip-gloss like most girls I was completely content with the texture, and the creamyness of them!
I think the first one I wore was the Creme brulee, which smells amazing, they all had a wonderful smell! Overall i'm a very happy customer, and will probably be getting the rest of the lip butters to add to my collection! I highly recommend the Lip butters, although everyone has their own opinion about how they like them, and why they don't. I really don't have nothing bad to say about them at all.


Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this blog, Happy Holidays, and if you like what you're reading, please follow my journey in becoming a beauty blogger.
Thanks. <3

BhCosmetics Day and Night Palette

Although I just started this blog, I didn't want to start it off by totally downgrading a product I've tried! It took me days to finally figure out what my first review was going to be on. I probably thought about it way too much! Signing on, I finally thought of the day and night palette from bhcosmetics! It is the only bhcosmetics product that I own... for now! You can get the palette at www.bhcosmetics.com
My very first impression of the packaging was it was very pretty and vibrant! I had to open it immediately! Not only to look at the colors and to play with it, but to see if anything was broken!  Gladly nothing was broken and I was able to play with my wonderful new palette right away. I got to swatching some of the colors, and they were amazingly pigmented. There were only a couple of them that were not as pigmented, more of a chalky texture.
I always use an eyeshadow primer before applying eyeshadow, but they were still a little chalky! I'm not disappointed with the whole palette just those certain colors! Overall I give this palette a 9 out of 10! Very happy customer and will be buying more! I highly recommend this palette, especially for beginners and/or makeup lovers like myself!

      Hello, I'm a new beauty blogger! My name is Alyssa! I had a love for makeup, but didn't really get into it until recently. As my makeup collection started growing, I thought i'd actually learn to do makeup. I am self taught, I'm not a MUA... yet.. I am still a senior in high school, but then will attending beauty school. I want to share my opinions about the makeup I've tried (mostly drugstore); which I don't mind! I'm not very picky about my makeup at all.

   I hope that you will like my blog posts, again I will be stating my honest opinions about the make up I've tried! Hope you will subscribe to my blog channel, if you like what you see, follow me on instgram at lyssamarieporras and follow me on twitter at LyssaMPorras ! Thank you.
