Hey doll hey!!! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I’m doing a little bit better, still in considerable pain but am able to sit up and type on my own instead of using Cortana to type for me… so progress.
I received my Ulta order and a second Fenty birthday package so I figured I’d haul and swatch everything. There may not be any Face of the Day looks for a few days just until I recover from the fall I took.
Let’s take a closer look shall we?
*As always… All products listed we purchased for me, all links provided are purely for convenience purposes to help you find the product quickly and are in no way affiliate links. The swatches are done on clean bare skin with no primer and are done in 1 swipe and with flash to maximize color payoff *
UP FIRST THE ITEMS I PURCHASED AT ULTA:
1. Good Molecules Rosewater Daily Cleansing Gel ($12 for 4 fl oz / 120 mL of product at Ulta) is billed as infused with antioxidant-rich rosewater, this pH-balanced gel face wash soothes and balances all skin types. It claims to gently purifies skin of dirt, oil, and makeup without disrupting its natural moisture balance, with Soothing Rosewater that is rich in antioxidants to help skin maintain a bright tone and Pineapple Extract which helps gently purify skin while promoting clarity and softness.
No First Impressions: I’ve been using this daily cleanser as my 2nd cleans step for a year now and I am absolutely in love. No tight skin feeling, no residue left behind and my skin looks amazing.
2. Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum ($6.00 for 1 fl oz/ 30 mL of product at Ulta) is billed as being formulated with hyaluronic acid, this water-light serum draws moisture to the skin for long-lasting hydration. With just one use, skin appears smooth, supple, and well-hydrated.
No First Impressions: If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you already know how much I rave about this product! Great skin care at a great price point.
3. through 5. ColourPop BFF Liquid Liners ($8 for 0.019 fl oz / 0.55 mL of product each at Ulta) I purchased 3 of the 7 shades available at Ulta. They are billed as an ultra-fine felt tip liquid eyeliner that delivers intense pigmentation in one easy swipe.
The shades from left to right are: Numero Uno (true black), The Hills (muted emerald green) and Grande (brown).
First Impressions: The felt tip liner is replenished by a spring form dispensing system in the cap. The colors are very pigmented, dry down in a matter of seconds and do not smudge once dried, feather only slightly and dey down to a demi matte finish.
UP LAST THE ITEMS IN MY BIRHTDAY PACKAGE:
1. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara ($24 for 0.42 fl oz / 12.5 mL of product on their website) in the shade Cuz I’m Black is billed as the ultimate do-it-all mascara designed for a fully exposed lash look, featuring an exclusive flat-to-fat brush that instantly volumizes, lifts, lengthens, and curls.
First Impressions:
2. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Bright Fix Eye Brightener ($25 for 0.35 fl oz / 10 mL of product on their website) in the shade Rose Quartz (cool pink for light skin tones) comes in 16 shades and is billed as an undereye brightener that easily hydrates, brightens, and conceals. Delivers a fast, natural, no-makeup makeup effect with sheer to buildable coverage. Crease-, humidity-, and sweat-resistant longwear formula.
First Impressions: When I first dispensed the product to the back of my hand I wasn’t really sure that this was going to do much because it felt thin and liquidity. After rubbing it in I realized this is the perfect formula… light weight AND brightening and very little is all that is needed.
3. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($36 for 1.08 fl oz / 32 mL of product on their website) in the shade #120 (light with neutral undertones) comes in 50 shades and is billed as a soft matte, light weight, longwear foundation with buildable, medium to full coverage.
First Impressions: This is super pigmented, very light weight, and a demi matte with full coverage. It did not oxidize and it also sent down completely.

No First Impression: I own 4 other shades and have tested this formula already, in a few words… this formula is perfection! Now, can we talk about this shade? DIVINE!!! Perfect for fall and winter both, hell it would even work perfectly for a grungy pop of color in the warmer months too.

Ohh how are you liking the good molecules gel face wash? I love rosewater it’s my favorite scent and stuff to use definitely helps with my oil sebum production. The colourpop liners are hands down my favorite of all times I bought the gel pot eyeliner bundle set and of course they added so many more colors I want them all 😅.

I absolutely love the face wash. Good Molecules rarely makes a product that I don’t like. I got to gel liner vaults from Colourpop for my birthday and the liquid liner vault too but I need a purple and an orange liquid liner I have all the other colors now 🤗
