Hello, my makeup lovers! Spring is definitely in the air, and the warm temps are soaring! One thing you should know about me is that I am a fan of warm weather - it just makes me so happy. In the midst of my break, I did indulge on a spring makeup haul. Included in this haul were products I've wanted to try, referral products, and finally grabbing some that have been sold out for some time. Most products I have tried already, and some I am still waiting to try (I know, what is wrong with me)! I also used some products on makeup looks that will be posted on the blog soon. So, let's get started!

JayChantelle's Spring Makeup Haul

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (Gleam)
Milani Cosmetics Bronzer XL (03 Radiant Tan)
NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator (Gleam)
Urban Decay Deslick Setting Spray
LA Girl USA Gel Glide Eyeliner Pencil (Very Black)
Inglot Duraline
Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel 77
Sigma Beauty E06 Winged Liner Brush
ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip (Chi, Kae, Rooch)
ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip (Botanical)

The Verdict

I have tried a few items, including the Inglot eyeliner gel to which I completely love. The Inglot gel to be the best eyeliner out right now. The formula is so rich and has a lot of pigmentation. If you are looking for a pure black gel liner for your eyes, then invest in this gel liner. I am applying it with my new Sigma Beauty E06 winged liner brush, and I must say it is a dynamic duo. A few months ago, I purchased the Sephora Collection Pro Gel Liner Brush #26 to which I loved until I started using the Sigma E06 brush. I must admit, I like the Sigma brush a little more than the Sephora brush.

I also tried the Milani bronzer xl, and I think it is okay. It is not as pigmented as I anticipated, so a heavier application to your face is needed. I am still on the hunt for some good bronzers for the summer. The UD deslick setting spray is a winner, and last but not least, the LA Girl gel glide eyeliner pencil is freaking bomb! This has to be the best gel pencil I've come across since the UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. Compared to $20 for the UD pencil, the LA Girl pencil only costs $5.00! That is a $15.00 price difference to an eyeliner that works just as good as the UD pencil. I use the pencil on my water line (a little goes a LONG way) then I smudge with my brush.

I hope you enjoyed my post of my spring makeup haul. Even though I haven't tried all of the products yet, I am anticipating on using them soon. Stay tuned for a follow-up post!

Peace and Blessings!

Xoxo,

Get Jay's Look: Beychella x Jaychella

Apr 22, 2018

It's been a while since I've done any Get Jay's Look posts and it feels good to bring them back. Kicking off my 2018 makeup looks, it was only right to recreate Beyonce's makeup from her performance at Coachella.

Pro VS Anti-Valentine's Day Makeup + Giveaway

Feb 14, 2017

Happy Valentine's Day! Typically for this holiday, you have the ones who are Pro-Valentine's Day and the people who are Anti-Valentine's Day spectators. Last year, I created an Anti-Valentine's Day look that ended up being quite successful with a dark gray smokey eye and a wine colored lip. This year, I wanted to create a look for the lovers and haters of the holiday of love.

Get Jay's Look: Turquoise Gold Passion

Dec 6, 2016

Now I am not going to lie; I was a little nervous about creating this look. As a woman of color, I usually do not experiment with vibrant colors as much. I can also recall a few years back where I did not know how to use such colors, especially on my eyes. Fast-forward to 2016, I am no longer afraid, and I was pleased with the final look.

Get Jay's Look: Autumn Glam

Nov 20, 2016

At last! We are in the fall season. Now don't get me wrong, I love the summer, but I also love the fall just as much. The dark hues, the layers, the scarves, leather jackets, boots, sweaters are my favorites. There's nothing like wearing darker, bolder colors and to add a kick of highlight just ties everything together. For this look, I was preparing to see Mary J. Blige in concert.

Get Jay's Look: #ShaylaTaughtMe

Jul 25, 2016

*Pops mouth* First of all, I would like to send congratulations to one of my favorite professional makeup artists in the world, Shayla, as we all know as MakeupShayla on her collaboration with Tarte Cosmetics. She teamed up with Tarte to create a contour palette that is easy to use, and most importantly, it is catered to women of color. From the moment I discovered the palette, I could not wait to get my hands on it.

Get Jay's Look: Azure + Extra

Jun 21, 2016

As a woman of color, wearing blue eyeshadow can be tricky. It has the potential to look a mess if not applied appropriately. For this look, I pulled some tricks in order to bring it all together.

Get Jay's Look: Dripping in Gold

For this look, I wanted to appear as I am dripping in gold. I created a soft smokey eye with gold tones, a bright highlighted face, and a gold color nude lip. This is soft yet dramatic look, and I receive

Get Jay's Look: Ice Princess

Jun 2, 2016

I think all of the looks that I create are fun, but for this look, in particular, I was nervous about it. My goal was to achieve a soft, yet dramatic look with a little bit of goth. Of course, I had to throw a little glam by using glitter on the inner corner of my eye.

Get Jay's Look: Purple Goddess

Apr 26, 2016

For this look, I wanted to pay homage to one of my favorite musicians, Prince. Unfortunately, we lost him on April 21st, but his legacy will live on. As many expressed their love for him, I was overjoyed to witness how much of an impact he had over the world. I always loved his music, but I admired his artistry. He marched to the beat of his drum and did not give a damn on what people said or thought. He kept pushing on and breaking barriers and remained himself through it all. His drive has always been motivational to me, and now that he is gone, my takeaway is to keep pushing and aim for success in my artistry.
