Primers and Eyeshadow and Lipstick...Oh my!

My Partners In Pretty know the way to my heart! Being an aspiring makeup artist, you have to build your kit with the essentials. Foundation, primers, concealer, powder, eyeshadows, blushes, lippies, etc. And the ladies always bless me with the perfect products to add to my growing kit. Here are a few things that I got this weekend from my boos Shana of ShanaJanelle and Nikkia of Silver Lips Beauty. (I can't thank you ladies enough for my goodies!)

Ben Nye MagiCake Aqua Paint Palette...12 colors for the face and body. Activated by water or Ben Nye's LiquiSet Sealer, these colors are vibrant and extremely pigmented. 

Sephora eyeshadow in Prisma Chrome. This eyeshadow is not only pretty in the pan, it amazing on the skin. The texture is velvety smooth and easily blendable. I also think this would be a beautiful cheek highlight for the summer. 

MAC Cosmetics Pearlmatte eyeshadow trio from the Lilyland Collection. My girls know I'm a sucker for anything pink and green lol. I love the design of this trio and it may be too pretty for me to use lol. 

Senna Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer. (Colors light and medium) Senna cosmetics describes this product as a color magnet, eyelid color corrector, wrinkle minimizer, and eyeshadow fixative. 

MAC Cosmetics Metal Maven lipstick and Rock Out lipglass from the Riveting Collection. I love the frost on this lipstick and the rainbow glitter in the lipglass is gorgeous! Can't wait to find somewhere to rock these two lippies!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) lip tar stained gloss in new wave. I haven't tried these new stained glosses so I'm excited to see how they work. Plus I love a pink lip :)

Temptu Pro s/b concealer wheel. Being as though I am trying to build my kit...this is a perfect addition for concealing and highlighting. 

Make Up Forever makeup bag...this is great for travel or your big purse lol. You can never have too many makeup bags!

Each marks an era in beauty for women of color using various hues of pink (one of my favorite colors).  Click here to check out this behind the scenes video on the collections.

The 1980’s Fresh Capsule Collection speaks to the legacy of the Hip-Hop decade.  This was an era when women began to express themselves using fresh, beautiful, and alluring colors.  The Fresh Capsule Collection is a set of gorgeous warm pink colors to evoke a fresh beauty.

This collection comes with Fresh Pink Lipstick (a rosy creamy pink), Tickled Pink Lip Teaser (a bubblegum pink with cool undertones), Ginger Berry Beauty Blush (a berry pink with gold flux), and Fresh Pink Nail Lacquer (a frosted coral with silver shimmer).

The 1990’s Sensuous Capsule Collection reflects a new evolved era of beauty, when women embraced bolder colors.  The Sensuous Capsule Collection is a set of rich, modern, and bright pink pallets to celebrate a woman’s sensuality.
