Lightened Up Colourpop for Summer

Most of my purchases from Colourpop have been in Fall/Winter shade realm so for Summer I picked up bronzey gold shades of supershock eyeshadows since they are amazing. With one blush to try and a lippie stick and pencil from the best sellers list. I placed an order for the new Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick when they came back in stock so I will have a review of those up soon :)

Keep Reading for the Summer of Colourpop Review!

Summer 2015 Beauty Must-Haves with Splender


Summer is in full swing and with temperatures reaching the 90's here I have been all about a quick and easy makeup routine. Not being accustomed to such sweltering heat in Seattle I wanted to pick up a few new Summer must-have products to get me through the meltdown! I started by signing up for free with Splender. An awesome site that allows you to shop for your favorite fashion and beauty items and get paid to do it! Here's how!

Splender offers up to 40% cash back on your online purchases. There are over 800+ popular stores to choose from. What's different from some other deal sites is that you can stack coupons. For instance, 5% off sale + extra 30% off coupon + 5% cash back = big savings!

Plus if you join through my link HERE you will get an extra $5 Cash Back to start with!

To get the cash back process started first select the store you want to shop at on the Splender site. There are a ton of retailers to choose from like SEPHORA, Nordstrom, and Ulta.


I am shopping for some new Summer beauty items from SEPHORA where it is currently 10% cash back. After selecting your items just complete your purchase on the store's website like you normally would. The store then pays Splender a commission for sending you there to shop and Splender shares that with you in the form of cash back. It is super simple and easy to use and who doesn't love saving money!

Undoubtedly a number one must-have makeup item for Summer is a contouring palette. I went with the Kat Von D Shade + Light Highlight & Contour Palette. I was very happy that despite appearing on the warm side none of the bronzers lean orange and all of the highlighters can be used on my fair cool toned skin. I will review Shade + Light in depth soon after I give it some more use!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. This mascara has been my holy grail ever since it was released. With big voluminous black lashes eyeliner can be skipped completely.
COOLA Mineral Face SPF 30 Matte Tint
When its hot out I do not like to wear face makeup, not at all not one bit. This mineral matte face tint BB Cream from COOLA will have you feeling bare faced but looking fresh faced. It provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF30 sun protection that is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. The lightly tinted matte finish formula acts similar to a makeup primer blurring imperfections and giving the skin a shine free matte finish.

Evian Brumisatuer Facial Mist
I love the face mist from Evian so much I buy a new bottle every month! Brumisateur is a must have to pack in your bag for the pool or the beach. It removes perspiration, salt, and chlorine. If you've stayed out in the rays a little too long this cooling mist soothes and rehydrates sun-burned or wind-chapped skin. I mist myself with it morning, noon, and night. A little frivolous but so refreshing!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Streak
Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick is my absolute favorite lipstick formula. Creamy, light-weight, moisturizing, non-scented, and long lasting. Streak is a luscious shade of coral that I have been wearing repeatedly this Summer. It adds a subtle pop of color to a natural look and the balmy texture keeps the lips feeling supple. It is easy to forget that your lips need sun protection too. SuperGoop! Mint Fusion Lip Balm Broad Spectrum SPF 30 invigorating minty lip balm hydrates, repairs, protects, and soothes. Moisturizing shea butter locks in hydration and provides a protective barrier. It has a light mint tingle with a soft shine that is perfect alone or under your favorite lip color.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector (deluxe sample)
Through Splender I was able to see all of the promo codes available to use. With code PERFECTOR I received a free deluxe sample of Becca's Skin Illuminator in Opal with my order. Becca highlighters have a cult following for a reason. They know Glow. Shimmering Skin Perfector blends in to your skin looking like a glow from within, not glittery or garish. Opal is a shimmering golden opal pearl. The subtle luminosity gives a soft, natural glow.

FOREO Issa Toothbrush
At just under $200 Foreo's Issa toothbrush is a splurge you can feel good about with the 10% cash back rebate with Splender. Foreo Issa is the ultimate travel companion as it only requires one charge for 6 months and no charging dock is required. I love having this for travel over a standard toothbrush. Issa gives that extra clean feeling you can only get from an electric toothbrush. The ultra-hygienic silicone bristles are both gentle and effective and less abrasive on gums. The minimalist design and vibrant colors mean even your toothbrush can look stylish.

Bumble & Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil Primer (100 pt. BI Gift) + 3 Samples
Having spent over $100 I selected B&B Invisible Hair Oil Primer as my BI Insider Gift. I love the BB Invisible Oil and the primer is just as nice! The lightweight spray leavse your hair feeling conditioned and frizz-free. Protecting against breakage from heat and UV radiation it transforms even dried out salt & sea locks. The pleasant tropical fruity scent smells like a day at the beach. SEPHORA always offers 3 free samples with your order, for ine I picked Marc Jacobs Daisy, Tarte Bronzer & Blush, and a Pate Au Ginseng Mask.
