Alrighty! We have officially received everything that I picked up via Cyber Monday deals, so let's dive in!
First one we'll pick up on is from Mac Cosmetics. I actually only purchased one item and got 6 samples. 5 of which were also part of their Cyber Monday deal. I picked up what I heard was a cult favorite, Mac Fix + Prep and Prime. This is pretty much was a Youtube made me buy it product.
I have read so many rave reviews on this product and with an additional 25% off I decided to take the plunge.
This stuff is suppose to smooth and hydrate skin and can be applied before and after makeup application. And after a couple uses, I am in love. I love the packaging for one and travel friendly cap. The smell is amazing, a very light refreshing scent. I also sprayed it on some makeup products like highlighter and eyeshadows and wow, it made a very noticeable difference. I did use it with ABH Glow Kit and it did bring down that over glittered look and made it easier to apply and work with.
As for the samples I received 3 trial size mascaras in 3 different styles: Extreme dimension 3D black lash, Zoom Lash, and False lashes extreme black.
I also got 2 creams: strobe cream hydratant lumineux and skin base visage. I did pick up another skin base cream just because, my brain told me to! I really like the creams they give my skin a smooth slate to work with. I haven't worked with the mascaras too much.

The next web shop I stopped by was Colourpop! They had an additional 20% off all products with their usual spend $30 get free shipping for domestic orders. I went a little crazy at this one, we all know CP already has really low prices for amazing products. So ya know, gotta take advantage of these little treats. I ended up picking up one matte liquid lipstick, one highlighter, and quite a few eyeshadows.
First up is eyeshadow set Studio 1400. You get 4 pearlized eyeshadows.
From top to bottom in the above picture we have:
+ Static
+ White Rabbit
+ Donna
+ 8 Track
True to CP standards these are some super shock pigmented shadows. I was really drawn to the colors Donna and White Rabbit. I'm a super neutral gal and this whole pack was so not neutral. They are fun colors to experiment with and get to step out of the box with.
Next up are 3 separate eyeshadows that we got.
From top to bottom:
+ Stereo
+ Cat Nap
+ Puppy Love
Stereo is an amazing almost duo chrome color. It is a dark burgundy with pink and copper chrome glitter with a metallic finish. It definitely comes out darker on the skin than in the picture on their site, just a head's up.
Next up is Cat Nap and Puppy Love. These two are a collab with NKLA and Best Friends Animal Society. These two are great causes and any products proceeds going to our furry animals may have my money. Cat Nap is a gorgeous rose gold color with a bit of pink and silver glitter in a metallic finish. Reminds me of a mix of La La and Nillionaire every time I see it. Puppy Love is a very soft peach with pink and gold duo chrome sprinkled in there, and this is in a pearlized finish!
For more info on these two awesome organizations go to bestfriends.org and nkla.org!
Next up on the list is my first CP highlighter. I've heard good things. I picked up shade Might Be. It is a metallic rose gold in a metallized finish. The description say it is bright, but I found it to be darker than the picture and on the skin, so I found that a little misleading. It is easy to work with to get a desired look and would look great on the lids if it is too dark for you!
And last but not least for CP is the liquid ultra matte lipstick. I picked up bestseller and also a slight cult favorite Beeper. This is a warm taupe color, I'd say a mid toned color. And I love it!! It is a very complimentary color and goes with pretty much everything and anything. Highly recommend.
All these products are true to the CP pigmentation and quality.

Last, but totally not least! Something that has been on my wishlist for too long. And it is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Moon Child glow kit. AH! These highlights are just too good, they are intensely pigmented and very buttery feeling. Honestly compared to her Glow Kit that she just released, I prefer Moon Childs formula a lot better. The newest palette does have a bit of an overload on glitter and a little bit harder to work with, formula wise it is a little bit rougher to the touch.
Swatches from top to bottom:
+ Blue Moon
+ Lucky Clover
+ Pink Heart
+ Purple Horseshoe
+ Star
+ Blue Ice
Long time lover of these glow kits without ever really getting to hardcore play with one. The love is still there. Highly recommend 10/10 would buy again.
