It brings me great joy to share the new of this amazing collaboration! One of my absolute favorite beauty bloggers, Rachel Anise of the Beauty Professorhas teamed up with Christian Audette to create three stunning lipsticks. Admittedly, the brand Christian Audette is new to me, however, knowing Rachel's eye for luxury and quality, i was certain this launch would be a major win!
Johannah - A darling pinky nude (named after her sweet daughter) is a wonderful everyday situation!
Golightly - The perfect opaque peachy nude is one of those shades i will reach for over and over
again!
Elle - A universally flattering cool pink that is absolute perfection!

The formula is creamy, beautifully pigmented and the opacity is unsurpassed! These beauties are a quick swipe and done! They're incredibly comfortable to wear and while these shades are quite perfect on their own, they also layer seamlessly! Overall, I'm beyond impressed with the shades that Rachel so delicately crafted for this trio as well as the rich, buttery formula. Equally impressive is the luxurious packaging. I love the sleek black, adorned with the Christian Audette X Beauty Professor logo. These beauties are limited edition and trust me when i tell you , you do not want to miss out on this collaboration! Pick up a set for yourselfand don't forget to gift the beauty lover in your life as well! They will undoubtedly love this sweet little set! You can purchase these here!

I was recently introduced to the Christian Audette brand when one of my favorite beauty bloggers Rachel of the Beauty Professor collaborated on a insanely gorgeous lipstick set (read my full review here). I fell madly for this insanely creamy formula that reminded me so much of my Tom Ford satin lippies for a fraction of the price!
My friends at Christian Audette sent over their CEO collection to play with and wow WOW! From packaging to formula, I'm seriously not sure you'll find a more luxurious wear. These babies are a one swipe and done situation. These lippies are so rich and creamy and have a suede finish that is truly long lasting but most importantly, they provide a super comfortable wear! The color selection feels as though it was curated with me in mind (let's just go with that because a girl can dream...) but really, i love the peachy pink nudes but can never resist a good bold red! These are the perfect lippies for Valentine's Day! Madame CEO is a must have... it's a true classic red that packs on the drama! Pair it with a good coat of mascara and let this beauty shine! It's a show stopper!
I promise you need these and i promise you will NOT be disappointed! I wore Madame CEO this past weekend for a girls' night out and received a ton of compliments! No doubt you will too! You can purchase this collection here!
As a busy mommy of twins, concealer is one of my most reached for makeup products. And listen, concealing my under eye circles is no easy feat! Many have tried and failed and only a very select few have made the cut. In fact, the two holy grail concealers currently in my stash (not drugstore btw) better make room for their new BFF! There are so many things i love about the new Covergirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer! First, i love the applicator because the wand makes it super easy to swipe and blend! The formula is velvety smooth and matte which keeps things perfectly in place. It blends seamlessly giving you the look of a 'full night sleep' even when you tossed and turned for most of the night! With this powerhouse at your side, no one will ever know! Now let's chat longevity! This concealer stayed put for HOURS! I didn't wash my face until 11:30 pm last night and quite honestly, all was still perfectly in tact! This is the first time i've had such a great experience with a drugstore concealer which is why i'm excited to shout it out here to my beauty BFFs! I always spend quite a bit on concealer and am so excited to share that if you're a budget, this is the product for you! (ps... my shade is L900).
Ok now on to the finished look! I played with some more Covergirl products (some i already owned and a few new to me)! First, i used Covergirl's TruBlend Matte Made Foundation. I tried this for the first time when it launched and fell instantly in love! I had so many of you reaching out to let me know how much you loved it too. It's a medium to full coverage matte foundation that has major lasting power. As far as drugstore is concerned, this is easily my favorite! My shade is L50.
One of my favorite products to try from this Covergirl mailing was the TruBlend Super Stunner Highlighter! Oh my GOSH it's so good!!!! In fact, i opted to wear all three shades not only as highlighter but as eyeshadow! I swept a combination of all three shades on my lids keep the lightest shade on my inner corners for a subtle brightening effect. There are three shades available (Pearl Crush, Rose Quartz and Gilded Glory) and i honestly could not decide which i love more! They're so so beautiful and add such a gorgeous glow!
I set everything in place with Covergirl Trublend Minerals powder. Also tried the Easy Breezy Brow Gel to comb my brows in place. I didn't want super structured brows and love a good brow gel to sort of comb and shape in a natural way. This stuff stays put so work quick before it sets.
Lastly, there are a few non Cover Girl products i used to complete the look! I'm obsessed with this Tarte face palette for cheeks. Also, now that my lash extensions are off, i was stoked to finally try the new Tarte Big Ego mascara and wow it did not disappoint! BTW if you subscribe to BoxyCharm you may see this beauty in there (full size too baby)!
OK so this is the full look! Major love for all the products working seamlessly on my face! Thank you Covergirl for introducing me to my new favorite drugstore concealer and highlighters which have officially earned prime real estate in my rotating makeup stash! Also, guys my lashes..... uhhhh Tarte, this mascara is SOLID!
Thank you so much for reading! Please know that while some of these products were sent for PR consideration, as always these are my true opinions based on my experience with the products sent as well as those i've purchased myself. Xo, Carla
