Colourpop is a fun affordable company giving you a great shopping experience starting with the description of the products on their website and hand-written messages you get when the order arrives.
They are offering quite a unique product, too. Their super shock shadows formula is different from what we all are used to. They are mousse to powder, if you know what I mean. They obviously offer different finishes within the sparkling department. I don't think they have any matts, but I might be mistaken.

Coastal Scents Black Friday Grab (gift for my dear self)
I am new to many popular US makeup brands as far as you can tell. They were simply not available in Russia, or I never paid attention. That's why it is so much fun for me to try them out now. Coastal Scents was one of them until Black Friday 2014.
They had 50-70% off entire site. Products are already quite cheap regular price, so it was a steal. I did my research on their popular\worth-the-money products and ordered the following products for my personal use:

Clinique Even Better Foundation SPF15
After the sad story of MAC Face and Body breaking me out, I kept thinking on what foundation to try out next for my kit. I was especially disappointed with MAC because it is so popular and I hardly ever had such a reaction from any other foundation. Of course, I don't want to risk and cause break outs for my beautiful clients. I have a friend who has an extremely sensitive skin and the only brand she ever uses that doesn't cause her any skin problems whatsoever is Clinique. I went ahead and purchased Clinique Even Better Makeup with SPF15.

HOT drugstore products + swatches.
I made yet another drugstore products purchase, this time online. And I loved everything I got, thanks to online research. When I am in the actual store I tend to grab things emotionally. I do that online, too, but then I can sleep over and decide the next day what is a keeper in the shopping cart and what is not.
Anyways, here are great makeup items worth considering:
Wet n Wild
Color Icon Collection Eyeshadow Set, Comfort Zone 738
$4.99 at drugstore.com

Makeup Geek Blushes. Review with swatches
I recently purchased 5 Makeup Geek blushes for my kit. They retail for $9.99 a piece on their website. They come in pans without packaging, but you can also purchase the individually packaged ones for $12.99. Or you can purchase a Z-palette to store them as I did.
Shipping rates are very affordable + they ship internationally.
I was super very excited to get them. And now I am super excited to talk about them, because after playing with my blushes I have not a single bad thing to say.
Most of all I like that these blushes look like skin, if you know what I mean. Thanks to their buttery formula, they glide on easily and have this healthy skin look to them.

MAC Face and Body BREAKS ME OUT!
This post is more of the complaint how disappointed I am about MAC Face and Body foundation.
I am trying out different foundations right now to stock up my freelance kit. I had such high hopes on Face and Body. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful dewy finish foundation. I love how it applies and how awesome it looks on your skin, but I advice to try it out maybe in the store first or get a sample to test it out on your skin before investing $27.
As soon as I applied it, I got like 1 million pimples in certain spots on my face, mainly around the bridge of my nose, chin and forehead (it clogs your pores like crazy). This is the biggest amount of pimples I ever had in my entire life. My skin is on the dry side, so even when a teenager I had no problems with acne. No other product ever broke me out like this before either.
So so disappointed....
I know everyone is different, but I will definitely not include Face and Body into my kit.

YAY, my brushes arrived. I am beyond myself with happiness. I've been playing with them the whole day and they are awesome awesome awesome.
