CoverFX Monochromatic Blushes - Swatches part 2

 *purchased by me*

I swatches part 1 over here. And like I mention in that post I will be getting more colors of these beautiful blushes. Once again ULTA Beauty had them on sale for FALL 21 Days of Beauty Event. I think these blushes were the only interesting thing during the sale... No wait, I had Shape Tape in my cart but forgot to check out on time so ... it went back to regular price...

Now the blushes. I picked up other three shades I was missing (was not interested in bronzes at this time). 

So I got 

  • Warm Honey - its the lightest in this bunch. Its has bronzey gold undertones. As name suggest its warm and I bet it would look perfect on summer tan skin. :) Not that I have any tan hahaha I white as a sheet but I know these babies are blenadable so I bet it will look good on. 

  • Spiced Cinnamon - this is more of a terracotta shade. Again it has lovely warm undertones and I think this one would look pretty during Fall months. 
  • Sweet Mulberry - ha I don't know what I was thinking when I added this one to my cart... I mean its dark and plumy but at the same time gorgeous! I just hope I will be able to pull it off. Also if you remember my last post I mentioned that I wanted one more shade but when I went back it was out of stock, Well this was this shade. 
From top warm Honey, Spiced Cinnamon and Sweet Mulberry 

I order them on September 10th and got them already on September 12th. So surprised! I mean I been getting a snail mail lately and every one I swear every one blames Covid... And then there is ULTA who ships packages out in flash... so if ULTA can so can other companies .. Just saying ,....

CoverFX Monochromatic Blushes - Swatches

*purchased by me*


*** These babies are coming for FALL 21 Days of Beauty Event. They will be available at ULTA on September 10th . GET READY Ladies ! ***

As you can remember I got these blushes during Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Event. 
There were half off (org. $38, got it for $19). 
 You guys I been wanting them form the moment they launched but yeah spending $38 on a blush was to much for me. 
It took me forever to decide what colors to buy... I did want them all and I will get the reaming colors at some point. I did a lot of thinking, watched YT videos and looked for swatches on blogs etc. Finally I made my mind up and added 4 shades in my cart just to delete one.. I went back later on to buy it but it was sold out. They did surprisingly sold out super fast.


Description from the brand:

" The duo includes both a "monochromatic matte and shimmer shade" that can be used "individually or layer[ed] together." The blushes are described as having "high-impact payoff" with no other specifics. The consistency of the matte shades was incredibly silky, finely-milled, and smooth without being powdery--they were thinner but not difficult to apply and sat well on bare skin as well as over foundation. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque and was definitely buildable."

I got following shades:


* Mojave Mauve - perfect romantic dusty rose. warm matte and luminous pink duo gives this romantic look the the cheeks. This one is my fave.


* Pink Dahlia - pretty flush of pink. Contains matte coral and shimmery warm pink


* Soft Peach - a peachy nude shade gives sublets of flush to the skin for a fresh look


from the top Pink Dahlia, Soft Peach and Mojave Mauve 


I have not worn all the blushes as yet. The only one I tested with full on makeup was Mojave Mauve. Gosh words can't describe how much I love that blush. The color was pigmented but blended so nice on the cheeks. Just keep the pigmentation in mind and don't pick up much product if you have fair skin tone. I applied both shades on and it did give a beautiful radiant flush.
These are really worth it. You get two blushes in one compact. I do understand that $38 is not for everyone, so my advice- wait for some kind of sale :) 

Ulta 21 days of Beauty - Complete Haul

*purchased by me*




Another 21 days of beauty event passed. Next one will take place around September :)

Let me make this post short and just jump to my haul. 


  • ABH Brow Wiz in the shade Taupe - last year during 21 days of Beauty I bought 2, and I run out of them fast. So this year without thinking twice I order 5 pencils. I love this brow pencil. Nothing that I tried so far compare to this :) I rarely try new brow products, but you will see something new a bit further down. :) There were $11 each during the sale (free cosmetic bag with 4 sample size product free with $45 purchase)

  •  Nabla Skin Glazing Highlighter in the shade Amnesia - I almost missed this! I was eyeing two more shades but they were sold out unfortunately. I haven't play much with it as I don't feel like doing my makeup now.  During the sale it was priced at $12

  • Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit - it contains sample sizes of Good Genes and Ceramic Slip. I been dying to try Good Genes for a while, and grabbing this kit was a go for me. I get to try two products and make up my mind if I want to invest in full size :) Not bad for $12.50 


  • Origins Go To Greats Day to Night Skin Care Essentials - i haven't tried Origins on forever. I remember buying years ago sample size masks and loving them. I though for $13 was well worth it. And I hope they work well for me. 


  • Urban Decay - I grabbed two lipsticks Backtalk and Rapture. Rapture is a repurchase. I had that shade in the previous I believe that was revolutionary formula. I love the shade! Backtalk is a new shade for me and I heard people liking it so why not. Both were discounted during sale to $13.30 each. 
  • Urban Decay Brow Blade Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil and Ink Stain - shade Taupe Trap. I love my ABH but this got me curious! TBH i don't see anyone talk about it or use it. So no clue, is it good? Have you tried it? Paid $13 during the sale 
  • Urban Decay mini All Nighter Setting Spray was a gift with purchase, all you needed was to spend $35, which I did :) I love All Nighter and I actually am due for a full size bottle :)

  • Buxom Full On Plumping Lip Creams in the shades Dolly and White Russian - I love this! I never had a full size but I had sample sizes of both lip creams :) Cant wait to play with them :) $10.50 eah during the sale. 

  • Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duos - shades I picked up Soft Peach, Pink Dahlia, Mojave Mauve. I actually wanted them all. I know silly me... but ohh they are so pretty and I can't wait to ply with them. I wanted them ever since they came out but I can't spend $38 on one! During the sale they were discounted to $19 
Ulta recently also had a Spring Sale and I got few products that were not shipped yet. 
Also Sephora sale is on and I will be posting my haul in May :)
