Two ColourPop Palettes that I’ve Been Wearing Lately: Lust for Dusk & So Very Lovely

Two ColourPop Palettes that I’ve Been Wearing Lately: Lust for Dusk & So Very Lovely

I've been pretty good about not buying every new ColourPop release. Granted, my sister has still been very generous in ordering them for me as surprises lately. Not every release but a fair amount of the eyeshadow palettes. Not all of them I have used or reached for a lot. But there are two lately that have stood out mainly as they've been sitting out and I've worn them almost every day since I received them. Those palettes being the Lust for Dusk and So Very Lovely. …

Review of e.l.f. x JKissa to the Rescue Palette

Review of e.l.f. x JKissa to the Rescue Palette

The first time JKissa collaborated with e.l.f. I missed out as it was constantly out of stock whenever I tried to get it. So, this time I did not want to miss out with the To the Rescue Eyeshadow Palette. That is not the only thing that came with this collection. There was also a furever eyeshadow brush set (I love e.l.f. brushes and they make up the majority of brushes I own/use), and Tsuki To My Heart Eyeshadow Topper Duo. I'm not going to be focused on those two items from this collection in this review, but I did get both in addition to the palette.…

Review & Swatches of the ColourPop 9-Pan Shadow Palettes (Part 2)

Review & Swatches of the ColourPop 9-Pan Shadow Palettes (Part 2)

Honestly, this is something I fell off the train of following with each of the new releases ColourPop did with the 9-pan palettes as I have gotten almost all of them. Save for three of more recent ones though I will probably end up getting them at some point. Instead of going back to the original post I did on this, I figured I would just start a part 2. So, if you want to see the first set in ColourPop's 9-pan collection check out that post.…

Review of Ace Beaute Scarlet Dusk Palette

Review of Ace Beaute Scarlet Dusk Palette

I love a good sunset moment on the eyes or red eyeshadow. It reminds me of my favorite color plus the deeper shades just call to me. I miss my Merlot hair on a frequent basis (remind me not to start that up again, I'm extremely tempted at the moment) and this palette has shades that remind me so much of this. Specifically the shades Bahamas and Sangria, especially Sangria. Anyways, I've been using this palette for the better part of the last week since reds are more "work-appropriate" than blue and green, so next up in reviewing of Ace Beaute palettes is Scarlet Dusk.…

Review of the Ace Beaute Oceanic Palette

Review of the Ace Beaute Oceanic Palette

A brand I've been following on Instagram for a while, and really wanted to try out was Ace Beaute. And when I recently got promoted at work, I decided to treat myself by getting a few of their palettes one of which was the Oceanic Palette. Which is filled with blue and green shadows, if you look at my Instagram you would know when I'm not doing creative looks I have one something in this color family. Not always but a good majority of the time on the weekends. So, I had to start off my adventure with this palette in particular.…

Is Tati Beauty Textured Neutrals Vol. 1 Worth the Hype?

Is Tati Beauty Textured Neutrals Vol. 1 Worth the Hype?

It's been a while since I've done a full blown review so excuse me if this is a little messy. But I really want to review this palette as I think it's so stunning, and something I am honestly shocked not to see before. Tati Beauty is a new brand started by Tati Westbrook (GlamLifeGuru) that is both vegan cruelty free. The first palette they have launched, which sold out right away as well as the pre-order is called Textured Neutrals Volume 1. I managed to get it during the pre-order which was a mini restock of the palette, and I have to ask is it worth the hype? I have not seen a single bad review of this palette, so my expectations of the palette going in were pretty high to say the least.…

Are You the One I’ve Been Looking for? Overview of the ColourPop x Disney Frozen II Anna and Elsa Shadow Palettes

Are You the One I’ve Been Looking for? Overview of the ColourPop x Disney Frozen II Anna and Elsa Shadow Palettes

ColourPop and Disney collaborated yet again for a Frozen II Collection, which included two 9-pan palettes named after each of the sisters: Anna and Elsa. Each palette costs $15, includes a mirror and comes in a cardboard packaging. I love Disney, and recently saw Frozen II (see The Pop Culture Download #18 for my thoughts on the movie). I've been listening to several of the songs on repeat since seeing the movie. So, even though I swore I wasn't going to buy anymore palettes... I couldn't stop myself. I had to get these.…

I Can’t Help It I LOVE Disney | Overview of the ColourPop x Disney Midnight Masquerade Collection

I Can’t Help It I LOVE Disney | Overview of the ColourPop x Disney Midnight Masquerade Collection

When it comes to Disney, I can't help myself I have to have it. I have seen almost every Disney movie at least five times. And can break out into any song at the sheer mention of a line. So, when ColourPop announced the Midnight Masquerade collection with Disney (their third collaboration) I wanted it in the worst way. My sister ended up surprising me by getting me the entire collection not just part of it as my Christmas present. Yes, several months early but you know what I'm in love!…
