PUR DreamWorks Trolls Eyeshadow Palette Swatches & Review

The PUR DreamWorks Trolls Eyeshadow Palette is a limited edition eyeshadow palette released in celebration of the Trolls movie. It caught my eye because it’s different from the usual palettes I’ve seen released lately, where every shade is warm toned. This has a really healthy mix of cool and warm tones, as well as mattes and shimmers. That bottom right shade is absolutely stunning, and I did a makeup tutorial and look using it that is going up tomorrow on here. I’ve got full swatches inside! Read More

Hot Pink Lips // Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in “Carina”

Today I have a quickie post for you on a gorgeous lip color I’ve had for awhile now. I was playing around with makeup today and decided to bring out this little beauty which is perfect for a pop of color in the middle of winter and particularly great for upcoming Valentine’s Day looks. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in “Carina” is a hot fuchsia pink that dries down to a matte, long-lasting, budge-proof finish. One of the reasons I love this shade so much is that it’s wearable on every skin tone due to having neutral undertones. Full details after the jump… Read More

Juvia’s Place Masquerade Palette Makeup Look & Tutorial

Juvia’s Place is an indie brand of makeup that I discovered toward the end of 2016. The brand has some really gorgeous eyeshadow palettes at great prices and you can usually find a coupon code online to take a deeper discount off the product. I am an eyeshadow palette junkie, so of course I had to purchase one and see how I liked the overall formulation and shades. I have the Masquerade Palette today for you which was inspired by African festivities and culture. There is a fantastic mix of bolds and neutrals to create a plethora of looks. I have the full tutorial inside, Read More

Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in “Smoldering Satin” // Makeup Look & Tutorial

stilaglitter3

I confess that when I first saw the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadows, I assumed they would be a hot mess. There have been a lot of liquid glitter eye products released and almost all of them have fallen short of my expectations. When I went to my local Sephora to swatch these, I was blown away by the formula. Rich pigmentation, tons of sparkle, and a long lasting budge-free finish make these astoundingly attractive. I have Smoldering Satin for you today which I paired with a peach eye look. Full tutorial and swatches inside, Read More

PAT McGRATH LABS METALMORPHOSIS 005 Kit // Bronze // Swatches & Look

metalmorphosis9

This post was beyond fun for me to come up with. One of my makeup idols is Pat McGrath, so when she came out with these insane METALMORPHOSIS 005 Kit’s, I was not only sold on purchasing one of them, but I knew I had to do an editorial look with it. I went back and forth on which shade to choose, and I finally went with Bronze. These stellar kits come with a silky cream pigment, a metallic pigment, a mixing liquid to liquefy the pigment, and a black dual-ended eyeliner. You will feel like a chemist in your own makeup chair!

I have had the Tarteist PRO Amazonian Clay Palette on my radar for a few weeks now. I was going to pass on it until I walked into my local Ulta, saw it on display and then immediately caved and purchased it in less than 5 minutes. Where is my willpower?

I love that the majority of the palette is matte, since I’ve been wearing more and more matte eyeshadow shades lately. There are 4 insanely gorgeous metallic shimmers on the side of the palette, though, and they will entice you to purchase the palette themselves. I’ve got the full look and tutorial inside! Read More

Kat Von D MetalMatte Palette Look & Tutorial

metalmattelook3

Often times, when I sit down to do a makeup look with a specific palette, I go in with absolutely no idea of what I want to do and just let my creativity flow. Last night, I broke out my Kat Von D MetalMatte Palette, which I recently showed you swatches of. My final look ended up being very cotton candy inspired, with shimmering pastels seamlessly blending into one another for a prismatic look. This would be a great makeup look for Halloween if you’re going as something feminine and ethereal, such as a princess or a fairy. The full tutorial and look is inside, Read More

The Kat Von D MetalMatte Eyeshadow Palette was released just several days ago and I scooped it up in a heartbeat.

I like to mix and match my finishes on a daily basis, so having the option in one palette is huge for me. Also, can we talk about how insanely gorgeous those metallic shades are?! They make me swoon. I’ve got full swatches and my thoughts inside, Read More
