Root Pretty Gloss Review

Hello everyone! Today, I will be reviewing the Root Cosmetics Root Pretty Gloss for you. I have four colors in my collection. They currently have 11 shades in their collection and *SPOILER ALERT* I honestly, want all of them.

These glosses are not super slippery but they are also not thick and extremely sticky. They are that perfect in-between texture that is a bit tacky but super comfortable on the lips.

PLUS, they are VEGAN, NATURAL, & CRUELTY FREE

Ingredients: Organic Castor Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Grape Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Kaolin, Organic Carnauba Wax, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Carrot Powder, Organic Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Organic Lemon Peel Extract, Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract, Organic Grapefruit Seed Extract, Vanilla Planifolia • May Contain: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides

Here are some swatches…

Cora: Orange-y coral shade with small shimmers
Jama: Hot Orchid with pink and blue shimmers
Emma: Creme mid-tone pink (basically, your lips but better color)
Lucy: Warm red with no shimmer

I would have to say that Cora and Jama are my two most favorite shades since I am a sucker for corals and purple hues. I really hope you try these someday.

April 2017 Book list: I Read Past My Bedtime

I love reading. If I could, I would probably draw, read, eat, and not do anything else (maybe someday). So I thought it would be fun to create a booklist every month for those of you who want recommendations on some good reads. I usually only read non-fiction books but I will throw a few fiction novels here and there. This month, I wanted to showcase some of my favorite picks for books that “you can’t put down” for those nights before bed.

Deep Dark Fears by Fran Krause
This lovely illustrated book was given to me by a dear friend and I absolutely LOVE it. I tend to be on the anxious side and this books shows a humorous side for all of us anxious-irrational people.

Talking to Heaven by James Van Praagh
I really like to learn about the “other world.” Whether you believe in ghosts or spirits, James Van Praagh has written a few interesting books about them.

The_Bad_Beginning

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
I know, this is a children’s series. But it has so many dark and deep elements to each story. Daniel Handler, more known as Lemony Snicket, is a genius. If you have not read these sad, despicable stories, I recommend you do so ASAP.

The Know-It-All: One Man’s Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World by A.J. Jacobs
If you love knowing random facts, then this book is for you! The author takes you on a rich journey through Webster’s encyclopedia’s most “interesting” facts. Guaranteed to make you giggle occasionally.

Makeup Bag Monday Week#1

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! Today, I am so excited to do this series inspired by Serein Wu (a Youtuber and lifestyle blogger). She is one of my favorite influencer and makeup lover of all time. Her series “Makeup Bag Monday” is a great way to encourage people to rotate their makeup collection and try new things every week.

Over the years, I have tried to curate my makeup collection into just a “few” necessary items but recently, I have been craving more and more makeup. Thus, my addiction has prevailed and I need to hit pan on some of these items.

For those of you who do not know, I only purchase Cruelty Free cosmetics. I can talk about what cruelty-free means in a later day but for now, here are my picks for this week’s makeup bag….

Face

100% Pure Luminous Primer

100% Pure 2nd Skin Foundation in Golden Peach

100% Pure Bamboo Blur Powder

Jeffree Star Skin Frost in Peach Goddess

Eyes

Colourpop Eyeliner in Stomper

RMS Beauty Polish in Myth

Beautycounter Lengthening Mascara

100% Pure Long Last Brow in Medium Brown

Lips

Root Pretty Gloss in Cora

Lime Crime Unicorn Lipstick in Varsity

Welcome!

Hello everyone!

This has been a long time coming from me and I’ve finally decided to buckle down and start my blog (finally!). Over the years, I have struggled with finding my design style, purpose in life, and most of all, self love. This year, I’ve decided to put my doubts, fears, and anxiety aside and just DO IT (Thank you Nike for the beautiful slogan).

My blog, LISTYASARI, will compose of three main things:

Art/Crafts, Beauty, and Positivity!

There will be more posts and much more improvement on the blog/site coming soon. I hope you will join me on this adventure and thank you so much for your love

Hugs,

Daniar
