MBA Cosmetics Chromalights Foil FX Glitters Swatches & FAQs

Hey beauty babes, welcome and thank you so much for joining me today! Today I have a swatch video to  share with you of the amazing MBA Cosmetics Chromalights Foil FX Glitters, which have gained quite a bit of popularity since a huge feature by Insider Beauty! If you are a long time follower of my blog, you already know that I work for MBA Cosmetics and you are probably used to seeing me post about these glitters and have seen them featured in several of my makeup looks! However, since these glitters have gained some popularity, I wanted to share these swatches PLUS some helpful info and answer some FAQ's about these for anyone who is new around these parts! ;)

So as you may imagine, I have several MBA Cosmetics Pressed Glitters in my collection, but MBA Cosmetics has MANY more colors to choose from. As you watch this video I will show the names of each of these glitters on the screen, but I'll have them all listed here with their description for you to reference!!

I encourage you to please watch & listen ALL the way through my video, to make sure your question isnt already answered in the video before commenting with any questions! If I missed anything, I will be glad to help and give an answer. But I'd hate to have to be repetitive and write out an answer that is already in the video! Thanks!

Drugstore Color Correcting + Highlight & Contour Routine | Maybelline | LA Girl

*affiliate links used*

Hello my loves! Thanks so much for checking out this kind of "wacky" looking post! haha Today I am sharing my current Color Correcting +  (cream) Contour & Highlight routine - using affordable/drugstore products! Woop woop! I actually filmed this video quite a while back to go along with (this look) but I completely forgot about it until recently! 

At the time actually I wasnt specifically going for the "drugstore" routine, these are just products that had become part of my current routine... And after looking back to edit this video, I realized wow - these are all drugstore products! Which is a fabulous thing, because this full makeup look is one of my favorites I have done in a while. My face makeup looks practically flawless - which goes to show that you don't need super expensive makeup to look good!! ♥ 

Some of you may or may not recall that I am typically NOT a fan of cream products. In fact, aside from the MUFE Pro Sculping Contour Kit, I have not particularly liked any other cream products. But when Maybelline sent me some of their new cream products to used I wanted to give them a try. And I was surprised by how much I actually really liked them!

Their Contour Duos are so easy to work with, they blend out nicely and almost dry down to a powder finish. I dont thing they are considered a "cream to powder" formula, however they definitely do not have that waxy cream feeling that most cream products have (that I hate). So that was a bonus. And because I was SO impressed with the formula of these I was curious to see if maybe the ingredients matched up with the MUFE cream contour...

So I did a little research and didnt find them to be a match at all. But surprisingly I DID find a close ingredient list match to another high end brand. The Lancome Le Duo Sticks share 13+ of the same ingredients as the Maybelline contour duos! And the order is pretty close as well!

I put together the photo below to show the ingredient lists side by side. The bolded are same ingredient & same order and the bolded blue are same different but order. I know the photo is small, click on it to bring it to full size if you need. ♥ 

Anyways, I dont own the Lancome duo sticks, so I cannot say for sure if these are dupes - but judging by the ingredients, I bet they are pretty close!! And over all - I totally feel tha if I didnt know better, I would assume the Maybelline duos where a high end product. So I definitely recommend. ;)

Easy Gold Halo Eye | MBA Cosmetics Vintage Romance Collection

*affiliate links*

Hey, hey beauty babes! Welcome and thank you so much for visiting my blog! ♥ Today I am here to share some makeup inspiration for you using some shadows from my Collaboration Collection with MBA Cosmetics! What can I say - I am SO proud of this collection, I LOVE how all the shadows and colors turned out, and I really want to give you inspiration on all the different looks you can create with this collection. ♥ So expect a few more looks to come using this collection... And then I will try to move on to other products too. ;) On that note, if you happened to miss any of my other looks using Vintage Romance - you can find them all listed (here)!  And remember if you are interested in purchasing this collection, you can save 15% with code AGAPELOVE15 - and yes MBA Cosmetics Ships world wide!!

Today's look is a pretty easy going look. Nothing too dramatic or difficult to create. I didnt even use falsies for this look. ♥ I wanted to keep it low-key, something you can wear during the day, that isnt over the top but still adds a little oomph to your eyes. So I decided to make the shadow "Key To My Heart" the main focus of this look. Its hard to tell, but Key To My Heart isnt just your average metallic gold! It includes copper and purple sparkle in it and is just stunning. ♥ I tried my best to capture it on photograph but it was a little tough. Still if you look at the close ups below you can see a little bit of that pretty purple sparkle that makes this gold shadow so unique!

I did decide to go a little bold with my lip color, but a nice warm nude lipstick or a clear gloss would be perfect with this look too! Its all up to you - what you feel comfortable with and what you feel is day time and/or work appropriate! 

♥Product details♥

Products used: 
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-MBA Cosmetics Shadows: Hearts A'fire, Love Letters, Key to my Heaty & Vintage Lace-Rimmel London Wonderlash Volume Colourist Mascara
