It's Judy Time!

Hello lovies! Happy Monday! So I got myself a new baby. After many months of contemplating if I should buy this makeup palette or not, I finally cracked and bought it. I finally purchased my favorite YouTube Guru/Vlogger's palette. I have been dying to get this palette ever since Judy announced it on her channels. Mainly because I absolutely adore her and her vlogs with her family, but I was scared of the colors. However, looking at it now, actually in my hands, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I love that it comes in neutral and fun shades so I can  play it up or down.  
This product is an It's Judy Time exclusive and is a limited edition. It comes in 12 shades, ranging from shimmer to matte so you get a good mix and obviously you have your neutrals and blue shades too. This is only available on the BH Cosmetics website (http://www.bhcosmetics.com/products/its-judy-time) for about $20.00. I did get mine on sale though, and there's always sales going on on the website. Shipping is pricey though. I think it was about $7, but I ordered it on Thursday and got it today (Monday, Friday was a holiday). Overall, I think it's a great palette for what it is originally worth, but adding shipping I wanted to wait til it was on sale. But this is a gorgeous palette and very small and slim too so it is very easy to travel with. 

I am so excited to do makeup looks with this. Judy also features this palette on her channel ItsJudyTime quite frequently, so if you're like me and are scared of the more brighter colors, I'd recommend you check out a few of her videos on YouTube. I do believe that this palette will look great on most, if not all, skin tones as well. It's a very simple and chic palette that is a must in my collection. 

Thanks for reading, and stay turned for some tutorials using this!

Lippie Review | Lime Crime Lipstick (Geradium)


Hello lovies! Hope you all had a good weekend! Today, I am writing my first ever Lippie Review! I decided to do this one on one of my most favorite lipsticks in my collection.


I bought this lipstick a little over a month ago, pretty much because everyone else on the planet has one so I wanted to jump on the bandwagon. Now this is a really big talked about company, Lime Crime. If you don't know about this company, they sell amazingly colored lipsticks. And when I mean amazing I mean they are crazy opaque colors. And not just your simple everyday lipstick colors. These are bright, fun, crazy colors. Some of them are so crazy, that it is very hard to see yourself wearing them out of the house. However, the one I ordered was one of the more wearable shades they offer.



I got the lipstick color Geradium and it is the perfect Barbie pink lipstick. The color glides on so smoothly and you only need a few swipes of it to really build up the color. However, I do recommend to really scrub you lips with a sugar scrub (I use lush sugar lip scrubs) and use a good chapstick to build a good canvas for your color to stick to. I recommend doing this with any lipsticks really, just to avoid any flakiness that may happen. Also, it helps the color to apply onto your lips more evenly.


The Lime Crime lipsticks are only sold online. I bought mine through eBay but they do have a website as well. The lipsticks are $18 each (not including shipping and taxes), and their popular shades do sell out quick and are usually not in stock when I try to order them. Now $18 for a lipstick may seem like a lot, but the thing with Lime Crime is that their lipsticks are vegan and cruelty free, which means there are no chemicals in their products and they are NOT tested on animals. I really appreciate that in a company, so to me $18 is a very reasonable price. 

 
So would I recommend this product to anyone? Yes I would. First of all the packaging is so cute!!! Who wouldn't want to have one of these in their collection. That was the main selling point for me. Secondly, the color is amazing and bright, and it is such a smooth consistency. And lastly, they are just so fun to play around. I am definitely ordering some more myself in the future to add to my collection. But if you are looking for a fun bright lipstick, this one is for you. And hats off to anyone who would wear the blue, yellow, or green shades out of the house!

Thanks for reading, and let me know if there is anything you want me to write about on my next post!
