I had never tried Gerard Cosmetics before so I thought I would give the brand a shot. One thing that I really wanted to try was the new ‘Star Powder’ highlighting compact. Once I got it, I absolutely loved the look of the compact. So sleek and beautiful! Opening it, I fell in love with what was on the inside. I absolutely love how there is a clear plastic cover you can open and close to keep the compact clean and also protect it from the powder cracking. Of course I fell in love with the color of the highlighter as well! I got the shade “Audrey” that looks like…

Easy Summer Nails
Hello! Today I got these two Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polishes that I’ve never tried before and wanted to test them out by doing a super simple nail tutorial. Hope you enjoy! So the first thing I did is apply a clear base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s Base Coat so the nail color adheres better to my nails. Once the base coat was dried, I applied two coats of the nail color in the shade “L.A. Smog” and let it dry for around 10 minutes. After around 10 minutes, I poured out a small amount of the nail color in the shade “Hollywood Land” to make a flower on…

One of my Favorites: Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit
Hello and welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Today I decided to contour my face with this amazing ‘Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit’. ‘Contouring’ your face means you are creating an optical illusion that helps minimize, emphasize and shape your facial features using shadows and highlights. I am amazed with how smooth and pigmented all of the powders in this pallet are. My favorite shades out of all of these powders are the bottom left and the bottom right. Those two shades are the perfect shades to highlight and contour my face. I first used this light ivory/yellow-ish toned powder and swept it all over my face and really focused on the…

My Favorite Summer Nail Colors
I don’t know about you, but I feel naked if I don’t have any nail polish on… I guess I’m just a nail polish addict. The funny thing is, I’ve only got my nails professionally done a HANDful of times…(hehe) But really, I love doing my own nails because it’s cheaper and I like hoarding nail polish. Doesn’t every girl? Since its summer time, I thought I would share with you some, just some of my favorite summer nail colors I like to wear. I had a ton of other colors I wanted to show you on my nails but let’s be real, I got tired of painting my right…

What’s in my makeup bag?!
Here’s a look inside my makeup bag! These are my current favorite products I’ve been using all summer long! Enjoy! #1. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (Shade: Mont Blank)- I absolutely LOVE this foundation.

Welcome to Shop With Kendallyn
Hello and welcome to Shop With Kendallyn! My name is Kendallyn, a 19-year-old born and raised in a beautiful small town close to Portland, Oregon. Ever since I was a young girl I was obsessed with makeup, fashion and being as creative as I can be. I’m pretty sure I got the makeup and beauty obsession from my lovely mother, Juliann, who is a very successful blogger for the “All Beautiful Mommies” blog. Creativity is not as much of an obsession, but something that comes naturally to me. Quite often I find myself in my room either crocheting, sewing, or painting deep into the night not realizing its 4 AM. I…
