I usually don’t like to post reviews without showing what the shadow looks like on my eyes, but I am making an exception for one of these palettes (Electra) in this case because 1) the Fiona Stiles Electra Palette is already sold out and 2) Meier is still available but I imagine will be sold out soon as well. At…

I have had enough time to form an opinion about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette ($42.00). At first, I thought the formula would be like the Nars Loaded Eyeshadow Palette, but it’s not. I’ve also curated three looks with the palette, two that were difficult to do and one that I performed with relative ease.

I was so excited when the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Color Paints ($25.00) came out! I went to Sephora and initially only bought two colors, but I couldn’t stop thinking about two other colors I regretted not getting so I went back for two more!

I often experience those days where all I want is a wash of color over my eyes and a bare face but I often end up with a full face of makeup! I recently purchased a cream shadow that helped me in that department and I am so in love with it! The Tom Ford Cream Color for Eyes in…

I was on the fence about whether or not to buy the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette. I had read so many different reviews on what it was like to work with this palette. I ultimately decided to get it because it sounded like my beloved Nars Loaded Palette as far as how powdery these were said to be and also…

The Sonya Esman X ColourPop Perks of Being a Wildflower Mini on the Go Collection includes four multitasking Multi Stix and one lippie primer. I picked these up a month or so ago from ColourPop for $18. Unfortunately, I dragged my feet getting this up and I no longer see it on their website, but ColourPop often brings products back…

The Fiona Stiles Artist Eyeshadow Quad in Oceanus is the prettiest of the three Fiona Stiles Quads I picked up from Ulta. It’s the most beautiful blue-green palette I have ever seen!!

I’ve finally gotten around to reviewing a few items I picked up from the ColourPop Summer Edit! I knew I had to have the Super Shock Shadow As You Wave ($5.00) at first glance. Sea Stars and Beach Blanket (currently on sale for $4.00 each) were fillers, as it just felt weird only buying one thing! I also filmed a…

I recently acquired two new pieces of eye makeup that I have just been obsessed with. The first is the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Proliner in Obsidian Black, and the other is an old flame that came out with a new color, the Eye Tint in Armani Cruise. Armani Cruise is a warm almond brown and provides me a…

I picked up the Viseart Petit Pro Palette ($30.00) after it had been sitting in my Sephora cart for way too long. I was aware that the palette would be small, but I was surprised to find that the squares of shadow are large enough for my eyeshadow brush, and I didn’t even scoff at the tiny palette. As I…

The NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00) is a very warm palette and it’s very brown — almost boring you can say, but that’s the reason I bought it. Nars describes it as neutral, and ok, I accept that, but it’s also quite warm. I wanted something fresh and new for more natural looks for my 9-5. A couple of things…

I had total FOMO with the Giorgio Armani Eye Tints ($39.00) the first time I saw them, but I thought they were just too pricey so I just lusted after and thought about them for a long time. Finally, one day I just said F it and picked up Green Iron, the one I have wanted since seeing them on…

Who doesn’t love a good taupe? After brown, for me it’s the perfect shade of shadow. I purchased Mally Beauty Shadow Stick in Over the Taupe some time last year, thinking it was the one I had seen her demonstrate on QVC. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t (I think it was though). I remember it being so sparkly and pretty. Of course, that’s…

When I first spotted the Laura Mercier Editorial Clays Palette ($48.00), I felt instant infatuation. Love at first swatch. The colors glide on so smoothly. There are three mattes, three metallics, and a finishing powder. Top Row: Blackened Black Clay, Blackened Blue Clay, Blackened Brown Clay Bottom: Metallik Platinum, Metallik Pewter, Metallik Rust Side: Air-lite Setting Powder

I was in New Orleans for an entire week when this sweet precious bundle of joy arrived at my house. I finally had a chance to get some swatches of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Makeup by Mario Master Palette ($45.00) going this past weekend. First impressions: At first swatch, I noticed immediately how powdery these were… as in there was…

ColourPop Super Shock Shadows are pretty good. I recently acquired three more shades to add to my collection: Game Face, Nillionaire, and Wattles. Wattles is a beigy pink on me, Nillionaire is my favorite of the bunch: a super wearable bronze, and Game Face is the most interesting being that I don’t have a coppery color like this in my…

Remember that post from five months ago about the Fiona Stiles Cream Shadows? Well, I’m just getting around to posting a full review on it for some reason. I know; shameful. It’s not because I’m that lazy, but just because so many shiny new things have held my attention. Arrow

What a long overdue post! If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen what these shadows look like on me and you already know how beautifully wearable they are. Prior to the collaboration, I had not heard of Jenn Im, nor had I participated in any of the other collaboration purchases; they just didn’t speak to me. These…

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Birthday Boy was an anniversary release, and was provided free with a purchase. It’s a gray-silver sparkly shadow, with somewhat of a brown base. Part of my purchase was ColourPop Ultra Matte Chilly Chili ($6.00), which has become a lippie that I reach for constantly.
