Comparing The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes to Shadowhunters
Well I'm through the second book now and I thought I would do this again, though honestly if I keep this up these are going to be a jumbled mess between the different seasons. Plus I know there are some major plot points between the show and the books that are completely different. So if something happens during the show that didn't in the books I'll put it in the minor details/differences section though some of them are not minor things.…
View PostThe Mortal Instruments: City of Bones | Which One was Closer to the Book: Movie or TV Show?
As I mentioned about a week ago, I got The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Typically I like reading the book series before diving into movies or shows but this time was the opposite. I saw the TV show first then watched the movie and now I've finished the first book in the series. So I thought I would compare the three together on the merits of which one was the closest to following the plot of the book. Since I will be talking about the plot of all three, a spoiler warning is in effect.…
View PostCan We Dupe it? Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette
Continuing on with my single pan declutter project, I'm going to be comparing my individual shadows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette as it's one of my go to palettes. Sometimes I do have issues with Subculture, but ultimately the shades just call to me. So I want to see just how close we can get to recreating the palette using my individual shadows. Now I know for a fact we won't get close on a large majority of the shades.…
View PostCan We Dupe it? Jeffree Star Cosmetics Thirsty Palette
This is probably going to be my most "off" Can We Dupe It posts, but I still find this a lot of fun to do as I compare my palettes to my individual shadows as a means to declutter. So today I'm comparing some of my shadows with the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Thirsty Palette. I still have five full large eyeshadow palettes of individual shadows but a smaller palette has been completely emptied out so using this series I've managed to declutter 12 shades that I had duplicates of elsewhere in my eyeshadow collection.…
View PostSwatches & Comparison Of All The ColourPop Jelly Much Shadows
One of my favorite products at the moment is the ColourPop Jelly Much Shadows. I use them on almost a daily basis either as a base for other eyeshadows or as the only thing I wear for shadows to work. These just make getting ready in the morning super easy. So I have gotten every single shade that has been released. I have discussed the initial launch and showed off the newest in the Villain collection, but otherwise haven't brought them back up. Until today, I'm going to break down the entire collection of Jelly Much Shadows by color then do swatch comparisons of those groups.…
View PostCan We Dupe It? Dominique Cosmetics Latte Palette
Next up in my "Can We Dupe It?" Series I'm going to do one of my favorite everyday palettes, which is the Dominique Cosmetics Latte Palette. It has quite an interesting color story especially with the metallic shades so I was a little excited about that since if a shade matches exactly, I'm decluttering the individual shadow I'm comparing the palette to.…
View PostCan We Dupe it? Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Palette
I'm going to do a new mini-series on my blog where I take some of the palettes out of my luxury or high end bin and try to recreate it using individual shadows that I have in my collection. I'm not going to do every palette in my collection as some of them have a lot of shadows that I know I can't recreate. And I don't know of the palettes I picked out if I can honestly recreate them completely but that's why I wanted to do this series. As I'm mentioning I'm just going to focus on recreating the palettes from individual shadows as in the end if I have a lot of the same tones I'm going to de-clutter those pans. 'Cause I can't think of any better way to go through them where I won't instantly go where is that one shadow. So to start with I'm going to start with one of the more recent palettes to join my collection: Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera.…
View PostComparing Tarte NEW Face Tape Foundation to Original Shape Tape Matte Foundation
After last year's failure of a foundation launch by Tarte, they went on the wayside for most influencers. From a terrible shade range for both formulas and repackaging a foundation and claiming it as being new in that same launch. This flop also came with the excuse that they didn't release darker shades because these were the "winter shades" and the darker ones came later in the summer. No one bought that and canceled them. To start off the year of 2019 they released a new foundation called Face Tape, which includes 50 shades ranging from very fair to very deep. The Face Tape foundation is supposed to be the remastered version of the Matte Shape Tape Foundation, and both were inspired by their iconic shape tape concealer. Their slogan for this release was: "You asked, we listened." A bit late to be honest, as I mentioned they did expand the original range but at that point everyone had started looking for dupes of the concealer so they had alternatives to that. And stopped talking about their products.…
