3 Looks 1 Palette: Jeffree Star Cosmetics Alien Palette
My sister got me this palette for my 26th birthday, which is coming up in a matter of a few weeks. So I wanted to play around with it since I got one of my presents early. Mainly as my sister couldn't keep it a secret and handed it to me immediately when it arrived in the mail. I'll have a review of the palette up later as I'm still playing around with it, but I thought I would share three looks that I've made so far using the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Alien Palette.…
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 PostI’m Obsessed With The ColourPop x Disney Villains Collection | Overview of the Collection & First Impressions
Let me just say I've been obsessed with Disney my entire life, and honestly some of my favorite characters from the movies are actually the villains. Plus ColourPop releases bomb products so I got almost the entire collection. I skipped out on a few of the glosses and all of the creme lipsticks since those aren't things I would reach for. But I thought I would get two of the glosses since I don't have any in my collection, and on an extremely rare occasion I want a gloss.…
View PostMakeup Battle: Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden vs Makeup Revolution Cut Crease Canvas Eyeshadow Base in Illustrate
I have been using Urban Decay Primer Potion for AGES as a base for my eyeshadow, which makes my eyeshadow last all day long without any noticeable wear or weird creasing. Recently Makeup Revolution has been killing it with launches to the point where they don't really seem like dupes anymore. I mean there are still a good amount of products that are recreations but I don't know what their cut crease eyeshadow base is supposed to be the dupe of. So I thought I would battle out the products to see which one is better or more worth it. As much as I love the primer potion, I'm not made of money so if I can save a buck and get the same result sometimes I will go for it.…
View PostWhich Brands Have the Best & Most Consistent Eyeshadow Formula
Over the last three years, I have been cruelty free when it came to makeup. And in that time frame, I have tried a lot of different brands and eyeshadow palettes. Other than monthly favorites or reviews after I've tried the palettes for a while, I never really went back through the palettes. I mean I've done ranking the palettes from insert brand name here. But never put them up against each other, just used them for numerous tutorials without going back into the formula. Since I'm on a low buy year, I'm challenging myself to go over different topics about makeup that I just haven't done in the past.…
View PostThe History of Eyeshadow
One of my favorite cosmetics products is eyeshadow, I think it's a lot of fun to play with to apply on eyelids and under eyebrows. And can be used to add depth, dimension, and expression of creativity. This is not a new product to hit the market in the last few decades like most cosmetics products. It can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and India.…
View PostJuvia’s Place The Saharan Palette Review & Swatches
I had fun taking a break last week with the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blood Sugar palette, but we're back to going through all of the Juvia's Place eyeshadow palettes. Today I'm going to be going over The Saharan palette which was inspired by the spirit and vibrance of the Fulani culture. And contains 12 with 4 mattes and 8 metallic/satin shadows. Unlike other Juvia's Place palettes previously reviewed, this palette does not have large pans for the shadows instead the regular size you see in ColourPop. But like the other palettes, this palette is $20 and does not include a mirror or a super luxury packaging not that the artwork isn't lovely.…
View PostDifference Between Pressed Pigment and Eyeshadow
This is a topic that has been discussed a lot recently with the release of the Morphe x James Charles Artistry Palette... which I do have and just haven't gotten around to playing with. Since it contains some shadows that are pressed pigments and a user on Twitter ranted for two minutes about getting hives and stained skin due to one of the pink shades in the palette. As I have not played with that palette, I cannot speak to the formula. However, I have been playing with the Jeffree Star Blood Sugar palette, which also includes pressed pigments and has a vegan formula. Plus I've been researching this topic as I wanted to attempt making a palette myself from scratch. So what are the main differences between eyeshadows and pressed pigments?…
