Been a while since I've posted but I'm trying to keep posting even if it's just here and there. I am more active on other social media like Instagram so if you want to keep up with my makeup looks I do you can find me as @molecularmakeup - I appreciate all the support :)
Anyways I thought I'd give my opinion on the Guerlain Météorites Base Perfecting Pearls which is a primer that you can buy from +Sephora (link here). There are two different "kinds" of these pearls - one white and one pink. I got the pink one as a sample and fell in love with it! This primer is amazing, it gives your skin a healthy glow without being shiny or oily looking and it lasts all day. It holds my foundation beautifully without pilling or sliding and it smells divine! Like most of Geurlain products it has their iconic violet scent which isn't over powering to me though some reviewers said they disliked it - honestly I want to eat it, it smells that good. This primer is so light and feels like a moisturizer on my skin and the big bonus is it doesn't break me out *little touch down dance*.
I went to buy a full sized bottle of it - it is pricey ($81) but it's so worth it - and I accidentally bought the white version. It is still very nice for a primer but there's something about the pink one that I feel isn't in the white version so I'm glad I have a pink sample once again to use.
So if you're still on the hunt for a great primer I highly suggest getting a sample of these to try!
Melt Cosmetics Radioactive Stack
With my midterm out of the way I can now do a couple more posts before my next period of stress!
So recently I purchased +Melt Cosmetics new Radioactive eyeshadow and pressed pigment stack because...well because why not! It's a gorgeous grouping of neon colours and they come in such a unique package. They are also awesome quality! I found that they were easy to blend and the colour payoff was great, though I think if you have an eyeshadow primer with more of a white base the colours would show up even better (I use +Urban Decay Cosmetics eyeshadow primer potion - anti aging cause no one likes wrinkles at 22 ;)).
Since I live in Canada I had a $10 shipping rate and also the exchange rate from US to CAD and lets be honest that sucks, but I really wanted to try this palette and since I had no similar colours of eyeshadow it was worth it for me. In total I paid 84.99 CAD for this product, a bit steep I know, so if you want to save some of your CAD dollars I would suggest grabbing the Electric Pressed Pigment palette from Urban Decay (not exactly the same but Thrasher is a good dupe for Xenon) which can be purchased at +Sephora.
Here is what the package looks like when you open it up, unfortunately the adorable box it comes in that has pictures of lips (I think they are Dana Bomar's and Lora Arellano's lips if I'm not mistaken) was a bit banged up so I didn't include it in the photo.
From left (pink) to right (orange) the colours are Radioactive, Xenon, Neon, and Radon. The actual box has an almost holographic look the the writing that didn't show up in this picture.
Note: Radioactive and Radon have ingredients not safe for use around the eyes so do take that into consideration if you have sensitive skin and/or have had reactions to makeup before. I did put them around my eyes but I was very careful and though they stained the skin a bit, I had no averse reaction to them. Their warning isn't to put you off buying this product, it is just for liabilities and if you are okay with using them on your eyes then that is a risk you will have to take.
If you don't follow me on Instagram (@molecularmakeup) I have done a look using this stack which I will put below. I actually went grocery shopping with this makeup on, I would normally never leave the house with makeup so bright but I worked hard on it and I'm trying to go out of my comfort zone.
Photos were taken using my new Nikon Coolpix L840 camera (love it!!)
Aaaaannnddddd one more because who doesn't like animal photobombs :)

Too Cool For School - Egg Mousse Soap Facial Cleanser Review
Ok, I'm back. I have been a combination of extremely lazy and very overwhelmed lately, but I'm going to try to be more regular in my posting! I recently got a new camera to take better photos and I have some professional lights coming so I can do looks at any time of day (I'm not exactly a morning person) so I'm hoping to be able to post better quality pictures of my makeup soon. I still post looks on my Instagram if you want to see what I'm up to (@molecularmakeup)!
Anyways back to the review! I bought this cleanser back in November I believe because my skin was starting to get really dry - hooray for winter skin! Said no one ever - but I didn't want my skin to break out from using something that was too heavy.
You can get this cleanser from +Sephora (http://www.sephora.com/egg-mousse-soap-facial-cleanser-P400281?skuId=1734722) for $24.
I really liked that this cleanser didn't have an overly pungent smell to it, it was very lightly scented. The texture was what surprised when I first used it - kind of like shaving cream (extremely thick) but not greasy and very light. After using it my face felt very smooth, soft and clean without that tightness and "squeaky clean" feeling you get from using soap. It didn't cause acne which is always a bonus!
Overall this cleanser was quite nice but nothing spectacular to replace anything in my daily routine.
