Violet Voss X Laura Lee Eyeshadow Palette

violet voss x laura lee palette

Hey everyone, today’s post is going to be about the Violet Voss X Laura Lee Eyeshadow Palette!  Not going to lie, I was pretty excited about this palette when I first heard about it.  First, I love Laura Lee and have been watching her Youtube channel for a long time.  Second, I’ve been wanting to try a Violet Voss palette ever since there was a lot of buzz going around about how great their Holy Grail palette was.  So let’s get into it!

So, if you love neutrals, especially warm neutrals, you are probably going to love this palette.  This palette contains 20 eyeshadows-10 matte shades and 10 shimmer shades, so it is nicely balanced in that regard.  The matte shades are super smooth and buttery feeling, as are the shimmers.  All of the shades are super pigmented as well.  You are able to get the most out of the shimmer shades by foiling them with a setting spray on your brush (or water even), though they still look really pretty as is.  The matte shades are super easy to work with, they aren’t patchy and blend out really nicely.

Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette

beauty killer palette

Hey everyone!  Today I’m going to be reviewing the Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette!  I was so excited to order this palette, because I think Jeffree Star does some amazing makeup looks and is serious about makeup quality.  Basically, I knew this eyeshadow palette had to be bomb.  Let’s get into it!

beauty killer palette

As you can see, the colors are just beautiful in this palette.  The palette consists of 10 eyeshadows:   4 mattes, 5 shimmers, and 1 matte with flecks of glitter in it.  The pans are also really big, which is awesome.  As you might expect from Jeffree Star, most of the colors are unique and more on the bold side.  But, you still have a blending crease color, a base color, and a nice smokey color for adding depth.  So, even though there are a lot of colorful shades, you do have the basics you need to create a makeup look all in one palette.

Berrisom Peel Off Lip Tint

 

Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint

Hi everyone!  Today I am going to talk about the Berrisom Oops! My Lip Tint!  If you haven’t seen any of the peel off makeup products from Korean beauty that have fascinated us all, then where have you been??  The peel off brow and lip stains have been the latest beauty fads, mostly because it’s such a fun and intriguing idea.  (I did order and am waiting for the peel off brow tint as well, so stay tuned for that!)  There are some other brands that carry the peel off tints, but Berrisom seems to be the best and the most popular.  I went ahead and ordered the pack of 6, because why not?

Too Faced Peanut Butter Palette


too faced peanut butterHey everyone!  Today I’m going to be talking about the Too Faced Peanut Butter Palette!  The whole idea behind this palette was just too cute to pass up; I mean who doesn’t love peanut butter and jelly?!  Plus, it actually smells like peanut butter!  Though, if you ask me it kind of smells more like chocolate and peanut butter mixed, which smells amazing by the way.  Honestly, Too Faced is really killing it lately with their new products. 

This palette has 9 colors in it, 3 of which are larger.  All of the colors are more on the neutral side with warm browns and ivories, except for the 2 pops of purple which represent the ‘jelly’ shades.  Also, the peanut butter themed names of the shades are too adorable, such as ‘nuts about u’, ‘spread the love’, ‘jammin’, and ‘extra creamy’.  There are 3 matte shades and the rest are shimmers, all of which are super soft and creamy and have great pigment.  They are also super blendable.  The only really negative thing I have to say about this palette is that I wish that they had included one more matte shade, one that is a lighter brown to use as a transition shade for the crease.  My favorite colors in this palette are ‘jelly’, a super bright shimmery purple, ‘nuts about u’, a very warm terracotta brown, and ‘spread the love’, a really pretty light pink shade with peachy/pink glitter.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

Too faced sweet peach palette

Hey guys!  If you’ve been around the beauty community at all lately, I’m sure you’ve heard about the new Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette.  I was so excited for this to come out and that I was able to grab one.  I know they have been constantly out of stock online and people have been having a hard time getting it.  Honestly, I probably just got lucky, but I just went to my local Ulta and picked one up.

Let’s just be real here.  One of the main reason I wanted this was because of the packaging.  It is just so cute!  It comes in just the most adorable tin, embossed with little peaches.  Also, the other main reason is that it actually smells like peaches.  No joke, it smells so good.  It’s not overly strong or perfume-y scent.  It is a subtle pleasant smell, like actual peaches.  I swear, it makes applying your eyeshadow 10X more fun.

Hey guys!  I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette!!  I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this as soon as it launched a while back because, I mean, Gwen Stefani…right?!  Let’s just talk about the part that wooed me the most with this palette-the packaging.  This really shouldn’t be any surprise though, because Gwen is just so chic.  It is just SO beautiful, I almost didn’t even want to use it in fear of ruining it.  I really love the colors in this palette because it’s the perfect combination of nudes with those few pops of color that are super wearable.  Also, it has a good combination of both shimmers and mattes.  The names of the colors are really fun too!

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting MistHey everyone!  So as you might already know from my previous post, I finally got my hands on a couple of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea products!  So excite!  I really wanted to try the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist because I just really love facial mists.  The awesome thing about this one though, is that it is supposed to be a 4-in-1 facial spray.  It claims to act as a primer, a setting spray, a hydrator, and a skin refresher.  Which is perfect because why use 4 different products when you can use just one?!  Definitely a time saver!
