BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Palette Review & Swatches

The hype for the new BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Palette was even more intense than her original palette.  The morning of the deluxe edition's launch turned into a rather hairy situation on the BH Cosmetics website; the site couldn't handle the number of visitors that flooded in to purchase the palette, and everyone (including myself) was left stuck being unable to purchase.

Thankfully, Carli came in to save the day and relaunched the palette on her own personal website within hours.

In terms of the size and range of shades within the palette it is a steal for the $22.50.  High end brands sell palettes with half the product in it as the Carli Bybel palette, and sell them for over twice the price.  The highlighters in this palette alone, two of which are brand new shades, are creamy and highly pigmented high end quality.

The Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition is one of the best drugstore and affordable brand products I have ever tried.  Check out my full review of the palette in the video below, including swatches!

First Time Mom! Mother's Day at 7 Months Pregnant | Random Act of Kindness

As a first time expecting mom-to-be this was the first year I was able to celebrate Mother's Day for myself.  As supportive and loving as always, Brandon made it a memorable day for me.  He knows the way to my heart right now is food (pregnancy cravings!) and made me a delicious pre-Mother's Day dinner, gave me my favorite chocolate strawberries, and then took me out to brunch.  We also did a little baby shopping and took in some phenomenal Mexican food for dinner.

While we were at brunch I witnessed a random act of kindness for another mother, who appeared quite lonely.  It only served to strengthen my love and appreciation for everything my gentle giant does for me every single day.

Next year I'm excited to see what Brandon does with baby Welles to celebrate this holiday.  Check out the vlog below for a play by play of our amazing day!

Milani Make It Last Makeup Setting Spray | Drugstore Dupe?

Sometimes you come across a drugstore makeup product that everyone starts claiming is a dupe to a product from a high end brand, and you think, could this be true?  At an affordable $10 for 2.03 ounces, the Milani Make It Last Makeup Setting Spray was rumored to rival Smashbox Primer Water and MAC Fix+, both high end sprays that will run you almost $30 a bottle.  

I'm always one that's up for testing a potential drugstore dupe, but this spray was by no means easy to get my hands on.  It was sold out at every drugstore I visited and I sat through two restocks on Milani's website before I snagged one.  Now I wish I had grabbed at least two or three bottles!

Check out the tutorial to see my full review and find out whether or not I actually think it's one of the best drugstore setting sprays on the market.
