Wrapping up this week's guest posts, today I have Adaleta of Adaatude! She is one of my favorite beauty bloggers and Youtubers to follow. (Her travel diaries are some of my favorites to watch!) She always has great tips and reviews of brands, so I am very excited to have her posting for me today!
Finally, I have to touch on my absolute favorite makeup brand as of late. Not only do
they carry a wonderful message about how every single human is beautiful, but
their products are second to none. I love trying all of their new makeup and
repurchasing their existing line too. If you haven't tried anything from IT Cosmetics I cannot recommend this
enough.
What beauty have you been loving
lately?

To say I have a makeup addiction is definitely an understatement. Along with the
beauty, I have a serious itch for travel, fashion anything else life throws at me. If you
visit my blog, you'll
find a lot of reviews and lifestyle posts. Today on Darcy's blog, I'm sharing my favorite beauty items.
Let's kick this off properly by discussing MAC eyeshadows. Retailing
at $16 per shadow, these are creamy,
blendable, long-lasting and just utterly beautiful. They are excellent to have in your
beauty collection whether you're a beginner or a pro makeup artist. The quality is
incredible. How many are in your collection? I am guilty of hoarding quite a
few of these (sshhhh, don't tell my boyfriend!)
At this stage in my beauty blogging career, I've tried a number of beauty
subscription boxes. I've gone through Ipsy and Birchbox and they didn't really
appeal to me after a year. Those are the two most popular ones and I think it's
because they're cost effective and have some big names supporting the marketing.
However, I found that Glossybox was much
more in tune with my brand and interests. I wrote an entire review breaking out
why I prefer Glossybox, so if you'd like to take a peek make sure to read more here. I would
recommend that if you're even interested in investing in a beauty subscription box,
just skip the noise and sign up with Glossybox.
Because I travel so much, I tend to pick up makeup as a "souvenir" on my trips.
When we went to Berlin, I found an entire Kiko Milano store. It was a total dream come true
because Kiko is not the most well known brand in the US and it's quite difficult for
me to get my hands on it in person. Their eyeshadows are drugstore priced
(just a tad bit more than your standard Maybelline shadow) but the creaminess,
texture and longevity of these is honestly mind-blowing. If you have a chance to get
one of these textured shadows, do not pass up the
opportunity!
Clinique recently released their Chubby Stick in the foundation form. Not only is that
an amazing foundation, but their entire chubby collection is on point. I did a review of the entire
collection here. I use the blushes, eyeshadows, lip pencils, mascara and
foundation on a regular basis. The highlighter and contour sticks are also top notch.
My favorite part is that they're so easy to throw in my purse and take with me on the
go. Oh forgot to apply my lip color? I can just take the lip pencil with
me and apply on the road. It's so easy!
I have been raving about the L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte foundation for over a year,
because I truly believe it is the best foundation I have ever tried. It's cost-effective,
ideal for oilier skin types and just blends beautifully into the skin. However, the
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation has taken
the cake for the best new foundation in my life. I have not picked up the L'Oreal
foundation in weeks and I'm so impressed with every aspect of this foundation. It is
absolute perfection and worth every penny of its luxurious price tag!

Love the idea of picking up makeup on trips as a souvenir!! Definitely going to start doing that! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIt's how I learned to "get away" with buying more makeup than really necessary ;) I think it's all necessary. It's market research & I get to review it, but evidently my accountant and boyfriend don't agree with that logic haha! xx adaatude.com
DeleteIt Cosmetics is one of the next brands I really want to dive into! They seem to have so many amazing things!

I completely agree. I find that not a lot of people know about the brand, but I've become addicted to their products & I love the brand messaging! xx adaatude.com
DeleteThanks for letting me guest post, absolutely loved doing it for you & so glad to be featured on your beautiful blog! Lots of love & hope you're having an amazing vacay! xx adaatude.com
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great vacation! Love the thought of makeup as souvenirs! Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like the idea, it's how I justify my makeup obsession ;) xx adaatude.com
DeleteShe had me at MAC eyeshadows! I've heard only amazing things about the Glossy Box, and love the idea of picking up makeup while traveling as souvenirs :-D

Hahah your comment made me laugh. "She had me at MAC eyeshadows" YAS girl, you have great taste. MAC eyeshadows are amazing. Did you know that MAC spends little to no money on marketing? You've never seen a commercial or real advertisement (video, ads, etc.) from them? ...and they still manage to be the number one cosmetic brand. They've definitely got it made! xx adaatude.com
DeleteMakeup heaven, I love it.. very nice products.

Thanks for leaving the kind comment as that is really nice of you! Makeup heaven is right ;) I house so many products because so many get sent to me, but I've decided to do lots of giveaways so I can share the makeup with everyone else because it would be unrealistic to use all the makeup. I've only got one face! xx adaatude.com
DeleteI adore Mac eye shadows. I wear "dazzlelight" almost every day of life because it's a nice neutral color to brighten your eyes up for work or everyday wear.
ReplyDeleteI love dazzlelight! I'm also about a neutral color that brightens the eyes, but doesn't go overboard. You definitely have great taste ;) xx adaatude.com

2 things! I LOVE the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation and wear it everyday. It's the best! Also, I never loved birchbox either and totally agree with you on that. Need to try glossybox though!! Nice to meetcha Adaleta!

Thanks so much for commenting & nice to meet you too! I hope you come over and join me on my blog since the makeup obsession is VERY real. I'm glad I intrigued you with Glossybox as it's definitely more of a niche box. I think most people have heard of Birchbox or Ipsy since those are heavily marketed in the YouTuber and beauty community, but I wanted to try some other boxes so I took the chance and love Glossybox!! xx adaatude.com
DeleteI've never heard of Glossybox but i'm going to check it out now. I love makeup and skin care products!

Most people have heard of Ipsy or Birchbox since I believe those are the most marketed & they're the most affordable. Glossybox is a bit more niche, but I'm glad you're intrigued ;) xx adaatude.com
