Ofra is a brand that I have slowly come to love. I was exposed to them in subscription boxes and have really liked trying out things I wouldnt usually have picked as first products form a line to try out. But from highlighters and powders I can confidently say I like the brand Ofra. That for me is not only important but it inspired me to make a purchase that I might have hesitated at before.

You see I love the youtuber KathleenLights and her colourpop colabs I have jumped on in the past. With her liquid lipstick with Ofra it was pricier and a color that with my yellow undertones I couldn't be sure would look nice on me. But knowing the product would be quality weather it flattered or not I bit the bullet and made an order.

Im so so glad I did. Now while this color might not be for everyone I have seen women and men with varying skin tones rock this color to perfection. And even if the color isnt for you this brand of liquid lipstick just might be.

Color- Now this is a strange color it reminds me of those Spanish roof tiles, and I kind of love it. Now packed on to much it looks straight up orange on me and I cant wear it. But done with a light hand it a beautiful wash of color that is so gorgeous and very flattering on me. I know it might not work on everyone but it is such an original color and its Limited Edition so if you have had your eye on it id snap it up now.

Formula- Ofra is now my go to for liquid lipsticks, hands down. Im so excited to find a brand I like this much. As someone with dry skin I also can have dry lips and most liquid lipsticks dry down so matte its uncomfortable for me to wear. These start off as moussy and light and the way they dry doesn't settle into every fine line I have. I have an order in on about 5 more of these liquid lipstics including KathleenLights second Ofra colab!

All in all this lipstick is a favorite of mine this year and I hope the ones on the way are just as amazing as this one is. What are some of your guys favorite Liquid lipsticks? Leave any suggestions down below!

My First Publisher Sent Book! {Live To Air}

Reading is a serious passion for me, its no secret. I was the kind of kid that being put on punishment in my room wasn't really to bad because I could open my window, lay on my bed and get lost in a story. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkeban was my go to at times like this as a child because back then it was the only book I owned in the series (The rest had been from my teachers class library.) Now a days I can still find time to do this. When hurricanes and blizzards knock out the TV or electricity im never left bored like the rest of my family because books take no batteries and only need some light, candle if necessary, to see the page. So when the lovely Magdalene from Greenleaf Book Group approached me about reading and maybe reviewing a new novel I was beyond excited. After reading the books synopsis I decided Live To Air was something I could really sink my teeth into.

Live to Air: An Ethan Benson Thriller by Jeffrey L. Diamond- Television, politics, and the Russian mob: Live to Air is a riveting crime thriller, jam-packed with intrigue and unforgettable characters.

Ethan Benson is a charming and principled-if sometimes difficult-television producer in New York City who detests doing crime stories. But that's of no significance to his high-powered boss at the network, and Benson finds himself assigned to investigating a bloody shoot-out in the Meatpacking District, whose old grime and new glitz provide a symbolic background for a sensational murder that has dominated the headlines.

As he pieces together his story, Benson literally covers New York-from Central Park and Fifth Avenue to Little Russia in Brooklyn and Rikers Island in Queens-crossing paths with a fascinating cast of characters on both sides of the law. Unknown to Benson, organized crime may be only one facet of the thrilling investigation. With his wife and son in hiding and his life in danger, Benson draws closer to a resolution that will have explosive results for the criminals-and for some members of New York City's political elite as well.

Tell me this doesnt sound like such an interesting read? I love how it will take you across the city, to these little sub worlds and give insight to a job many of us would know little about. I really love books that give you some world building though they take place in our real world. Im going to be reading and reviewing this on Goodreads and if you want to read along or check the end review my good reads is linked on this blog because again I love it so.

Any new thriller contemporaries that are worth adding to my TBR?

My Current Favorite Palette {Makeup Revolution}

Many might not know I have had a long and sometimes abusive relationship with eye shadow. I had a stage in high school where I wasn't sure why red and pinker shadows didn't work on me... I was just a couple of years before the vampire craze when looking sick would have been totally in. Its been a struggle for me to find this happy place between shadows that look good on my complexion and those that flatter my very dark brown eyes. But ive been working on it and in Those struggles I have found some amazing shadows, this palette is one of my favorites.

Now this beauty is from Makeup Revolution, a new very affordable and high quality brand in the UK. It was gifted to me by my lovely friend Eleanor and I knew instantly id love it. It has shadows in the pink family, it reminded me of the Naked 3. But they were warmer and shimmery and everything the shadows I used in high school were't. Makeup Revolution is a very affordable brand and this sites constantly had offers and sales. I have an ever growing collection between international orders (Which they do with amazing shipping) and gifts. And now they are selling some of their original products here in the states at Ulta!

Now this palette break down into 12 shimmery satin shades and 6 mattes. Thats 18 for a price tag of about $15 here in the states. That is amazing bang for your buck and they are so worth it. True some of the lighter mattes look chalky on me but I feel like thats more to do with my complexion then the shadow and they might work better on someone with fairer skin. Still the whole right hand side of the palette I am obsessed with. Especially the shade in the very top right corner. (Excuse my not knowing the names, they were on a sheet that came inside the palette and has since gone AWOL) With this palette I can final achieve that pinky smokey eye I tried and failed at SO hard when I was 16.

But the Palette is also versatile. I smoke out almost every eye look I do, I cant help myself im a dramatic child of the 80's. But you can do a very toned down everyday look with this, as well as split the different and get something colorful but not super intense. If your building up your own personal makeup stash I think this palette is worth a look at. Its so unique for the drug store, I have nothing like it from elf or NYX. Just all in one complimentary palette for you how can it get better?

If anyone would like a Makeup Revolution swatch fest let me know I have soooo many goodies to share with you all. Also a holiday look with this beauty might be in the foreseeable future! Hope everyone is having an awesome day!
