Natasha Denona Trichrome Palette : A Review


What is Natasha Denona Trichrome Palette?

Trichrome

Natasha Denona Triochrome 15-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($129.00 for 1.2 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that’s centered around three, Multichrome eyeshadows (the third column!). As the name suggests, it is a palette with three different pressed-pigment, multi-chrome shades in the center of each row and their complementary tones to complete a makeup look. This palette provides maximum color payoff with minimal effort, blending seamlessly to create vibrant, ultra-pigmented, long-lasting looks. These resplendent shades can be used for playfully-bold creations or effortlessly-wearable everyday looks.

What’s in the Trichrome Palette?

The Trichrome Palette is paraben and cruelty-free. In addition, the palette contains 15 eyeshadows. The eyeshadows are: Scrap (cool dusty army green) , Andradite (pastel mint), Scarab (poison green / warm gold / blue), Ion (acid green) , Vert (vibrant mustard), Naga (pastel lavender), Manganese (vibrant eggplant), Kinetic (purple / pink / muted green), Redox (dusty lilac), Tungsten (toasted mauve), Vertex (cool Ivory), Plutonium (burnt mandarine), Color flip (fuchsia / nude / dusty green), Garmon (peachy taupe), Diatonic (vibrant light coral) .

Swatches:

As you can see it is opaque even after 3 layers.

Looks:

The Verdict:

I don’t think that the palette is worth the hefty $129. The matte eyeshadows had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable pigmentation with lightly powdery, though blendable, consistencies; they were less substantial and a bit thinner compared to the brand’s matte formula, generally. It required a lot of layering in order to get the same consistency. Furthermore, there were a lot of fall off. Only 3 of the 15 shades are actually “trichrome” and the rest are sort of odd color story matte’s. I would not recommend wasting $129 for this palette. To me it’s mediocre at best.

CAUSES CLOSE TO MY HEART

PLEASE DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH MY FUNDRAISING LINKS:

I consider myself fortunate to have good health, a full-time job, and a roof over my head. However, there are still so many people who are struggling to put food on their tables. Please join me to help those who are struggling. If you have good health, full-time jobs, and a roof over your head, please join me to help those who are struggling. Whether you donate $5 or $500, you will make a huge difference in someone’s life.

No Kid Hungry:

America’s kids need us. The coronavirus is closing schools nationwide, and millions of vulnerable children are losing the school meals they depend on. For some, it’s the only food they’ll receive on a given day. We have a plan to feed kids, but we need your help today to continue our work to ensure every kid gets three meals a day.

Food Bank of Maryland:

Help make sure all hungry Marylanders have reliable access to nutritious food when you join Sustainers Circle.

Manna Food Center:

PLEASE DONATION ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN AND SHARE THE POST WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Manna Food Center, a nonprofit organization, strives to eliminate hunger in Montgomery County through food distribution, education, and advocacy. Millions of children go to bed hungry in America every year, sadly it’s worse now! Today, 14 million children regularly miss meals — three times more than during the Great Recession and five times more than before the pandemic.

Many parents have lost their job during the pandemic. Sadly, that shows no sign of stopping. Your donation can bring relief to the millions worried about where their next meal will come from. It’s even worse for Latino and Black families, whose rates of nutrition insecurity have spiked to 25% and 30%. In the world’s wealthiest country, this is unconscionable.

Even before the pandemic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated 37 million people in America struggled with hunger and nutrition. The Centers for Disease Control reports 76% of people killed by COVID-19 had at least one underlying condition, most of which were diet-related. Diet-related diseases also fuel skyrocketing health care costs, which rose from 5% to 28% of the federal budget in the past 50 years.

Let’s make the world better, kinder, brighter. Every dollar you give will create real change. $1 will feed 5 hungry children here in the US, but $1,000 will feed 50,000 starving children overseas. Be the good in the lives of many by giving right now.

My Latest Sephora Haul – September 2020


My Latest Sephora Haul – September 2020

Hi there my beautiful lovelies! Hope you guys are doing well and staying safe. Happy first of October you all. Well, this month reminds me of the beauty of the fall. Today, I want to talk to you about my latest Sephora haul from September 2020.

As you may know, I am a huge Sephora fan. In fact, I bought my very first makeup kit from Sephora years ago. I still remember the warm greeting from the associates. When they heard that that was my very first makeup shopping they were so helpful in finding the right product that matched my skin tone and type. They even gave me a quick makeup tutorial. Thanks to Sephora, my very first beauty haul experience was relaxing and stress-free.

KVD Vegan Beauty Lock-It Precision Powder Brush – ($16 – Sale)

This is a pretty nice brush. This a powder brush with a unique arched shape and a flat profile that is specially designed for setting undereye concealer and precise highlighting. You can tell how good the quality of the brush is just by the weight. The brush itself is so soft, holds onto products with dear life until you put it where you want it. So worth it on sale and even full price honestly!

Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-conic Multi-Finish Eye Shadow Palette in Extravagance! Limited Gold Edition – $49.50

This is a limited gold edition eyeshadow palette with seven ultra-pigmented shades from unexpected neutrals to smoky shimmers for gilded looks. Decked out in luxe gold stripes, this limited-edition eyeshadow palette covers lids in the same velvety-rich, super-plush pigment of the original Eye-Conic palettes. Style your eyes with its four fashion finishes: buttery matte velvet, shimmering satin, sparkling silk, and metallic lamé.

Oh, how I love this Extravaganza palette! The eyeshadows are creamy, pigmented, and last pretty long on my oily eyelids without primer. The shades are just beautiful and the shimmery shades don’t leave fallout all over my face like other palettes twice the price do. That last shade works so well for lining the eyes, no wet brush needed. And the shade before that is a metallic wonder. This lovely palette is a reminder that one can still buy and receive a beautiful, quality palette that is exciting to use without spending a ton of money.

What Others Are Saying? (4.5 stars by 29 reviewers)

“Love Marc Jacobs eyeshadow. Great color story, travel friendly. Great glam look and complements the color stories of the other Marc Jacobs palette. I’d give it a 9/10 only bc I like other Marc Jacobs palettes better and I think they could have thrown in more unique shade.”

“Love Marc Jacobs eyeshadow. Great color story, travel friendly. Great glam look and complements the color stories of the other Marc Jacobs palette. I’d give it a 9/10 only bc I like other Marc Jacobs palettes better and I think they could have thrown in more unique shade.”

“This was my first Marc Jacobs purchase. The shadows are pretty and blend well. They last a decent amount of time when used with an eye primer. The packaging is luxurious – this does not matter as it doesn’t contribute to the finished look. The eye shadow pans are small and the colours, while pretty, aren’t anything overly special. The price tag is hilarious, and not in a good way.”

Lancome SKIN FEELS GOOD Skin Nourishing Foundation – $35

This is my first Lancôme makeup product that I bought. This is a hydrating and oil-free foundation with SPF 23 that is infused with antioxidants, is lightweight, and ideal for that “no makeup” look. It has the perfect coverage and offers hydration without getting cakey under a mask all day. This product keeps my skin feeling fresh while providing coverage.

What Others are Saying? (4.3 stars by 2602 reviewers)

“I barely ever write a review, but let me tell you this product is AMAZING!!!! Personally I purchased the wrong shade because the testers were in the wrong spots and the description of the shade color wasn’t on there or was covered up. Since this shade is a little bit lighter than my complexion I blend the outside of my face only with a darker foundation now. When I first bought it I wasn’t blending at all and as time passed I realized my face was off but wasn’t aware until I left the house and took photos. I have bad house lighting anyways that was 4 weeks ago. For 3 1/2 weeks I’ve been wearing this product. Let me tell you when I mean my small acne and skin cleared up, it completely cleared up. Not only is my skin tone more evenly balance without makeup but it’s smoother and clearer. I have an uneven skin tone so my under eye area is a little darker and the skin is thin there. You can see my veins under my eye and my complexion is Rihanna’s skin tone so yea and I don’t use concealar with it. I use concealer with EVERY product I’ve used. I have never felt confident about my under eye area to leave my house without it being covered but now because of this product, my confidence with my face without makeup has grown so much. First time I felt naturally beautiful. My skin on my face is basically hormonal or occasional break outs. It’s always on my T-zone area which is my oily area. I have combination skin and I only get oily on my T-zone. It’s a few little bumps. I know everyone is different but for females who have a similar situation as mine this can be very helpful. I love to wear makeup period but I prefer a lightweight moisturizer foundation for everyday wear. This does last long but towards the end of my work day I look more like a person with really good skin than a girl wearing good makeup. It’s literally the definition of the name of the product. I told everyone who doesn’t wear makeup regularly or doesn’t like foundation to invest in this.”

BETTER NOT YOUNGER Superpower Fortifying Hair and Scalp Serum – $47

This is a lightweight, non-greasy, leave-in serum that strengthens the scalp, nourishes the follicle, and restores essential nutrients to support healthier hair. This serum is formulated with vitamins, caffeine, and a blend of strengthening ingredients to help support healthy hair, while ceramides and kelp promote hydration and nourish the scalp. It is also safe for color-, keratin-, and chemically treated hair.

What others are saying?

Rate: 4.6 Stars by 70 reviewers

“I like this serum, it’s not greasy and I don’t have a dry itchy scalp anymore. So it’s definitely helping, I think I need to use it more often (I use once every 3 days or so). I also have thick hair, and a lot of it, so I feel like I end up using more than it says I should. My hair and scalp is never oily after I use this. It absorbs nicely. Repeat use is key.”

“Love this product!! Best results if you use it daily, my hair is growing!!! Only been using it for a week and I’m happy with the results. I was a bit hesitant to buy it since it had mixed reviews but I’m happy I did. Doesn’t leave any weird residue in my hair either. Only complaint is the dropper, but it’s not too bad just annoying.”

“No much difference in my hair even though I used every night.”

YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE Dream Eye Cream – $49

It is an overnight eye cream formulated to visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firm the look of skin, and actively hydrate while you sleep. This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, and comes in recyclable packaging. This potent overnight eye cream harnesses the power of high-tech goji stem cell, plant-based ceramides, vegan hyaluronic acid, and THD ascorbate (vitamin C)—a complete overnight eye recovery in one step. Dermatologist tested for safety.

What Others Are Saying? 4.9 stars by 69 reviews

“I received a sample size of this product, so my review is based on my initial thoughts and not any long term benefits. That being said, I am very impressed with this eye cream. I have tried almost everything and over the past 5 years been using a Japanese eye cream that I love. Whenever I tried a new product (I love product testing) I’d usually noticed a decline in the look of the skin around my eyes within a week. However, the TTTP eye cream is fabulous. The skin around my eyes continues to look bright and dense. The texture could be slightly thicker for night time, but for the day works perfectly. It sinks in immediately and feels great. I have sensitive eyes and this causes zero irritation. I really love this eye cream and would consider purchasing the full size. I would love to see this cream in a tube form, I think the texture would work for this and would keep it a bit more sanitary than a dip pot. That is my only suggestion, other than that, I really think YTTP knocked it out of the park with this eye cream. Well done!”

“It’s a very nice moisturizer as is all the moisturizers from YTTP. I’ve been using YTTP products for many years and religiously use their face wash and air whipped moisturizer (which I’m obsessed with). I recently added their enzyme face scrub which I really like. I can’t say this eye cream is any kind of miracle, like I said it’s a very nice moisturizer but it doesn’t do much beyond that for me personally. I’ve been using it nightly for over 2 weeks and occasionally during the day but I haven’t seen any dramatic change. I’m in my mid 30’s so maybe I need something stronger. It’s not a bad product just not working for me personally.”

SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Wink-It Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner – Waterproof: $14.

These colorful liners can be applied like a traditional liner or used to create a dramatic look. From the blackest black to pastel perfection, each shade offers the highest concentration of pigment, leaving bold lines that never smudge or fade. The no-fray, felt tip applicator ensures extreme precision, so you can achieve your favorite liner looks—quick as a wink. This not my favorite liner. It took me a few tries to get the look I wanted.

What’s Others Are Saying? 3.8 stars by 972 reviewers

“I used to purchase high-end eyeliners assuming they would work better than “cheaper” ones. I have super oily eyelids so by the end of the day, my eye makeup would be eaten by my eyelids and everything would melt off (maybe a tiny bit over-exaggerating haha). A Sephora employee recommended this one to me and I have used it ever since (for about a year). I love that it’s affordable and has long-lasting power. I have purchased it in black and brown multiple times and always carry a backup with me in my purse in case I need to touch up. I’m very happy with this eyeliner and will continue to purchase!”

“This liner is not only not waterproof but the liner is dry at the tip of the pen. I definitely will be returning both the liners I bought. If you like to create a wing this is not the liner for you. I used this for a week and it is dry already.”

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer – $32

This is a full-coverage, oil-free concealer that conceals and blurs imperfections with a soft-matte, natural-looking finish. NARS’s Soft-Focus Smoothing Complex contains Optimal Diffusion Powder, which transforms the look of skin by blurring imperfections with light-diffusing spheres. The formula delivers all-day wear and high coverage that’s non-cakey, and won’t settle into fine lines and pores. I for one always use an eye cream with concealer for a smooth, crease-free application.

What Others Are Saying? 4.5 stars by 2,082 reviewers

“So I bought this because of Jackie Aina, a YouTube beauty vlogger.
I’m in the shade caramel in the original concealer. That one is my favorite. This is one is great for when really weakening up the eyes, as it appears to be a bit brighter and thicker than it’s lil sis lol. I like this for when I’m doing a full face and want the brightness but also want FULL COVERAGE!!! It’s more full coverage than the radiant one. Happy shopping. Hope this helps someone.”

“This concealer was sooo drying and patchy on me. Couldn’t wear it at all under the eyes, it just did not work. Sadly, had to return.”

Cover FX Glitter Drops – $22 on Sale

It is a multidimensional glitter highlighter that imparts a high impact, light-reflective finish. It is ultra-concentrated and customizable, and these liquid glitters can be used alone, under or over makeup, or mixed into your favorite beauty product for an incredible luxe glitter effect on the cheeks, eyes, lips, and body.

What Others Are Saying? 4.2 stars by 282 reviewers

“Ugh, can I please just tattoo these into my skin?
Seriously so beautiful and multi-dimensional, I feel like a fairie in these.
I’ve found that using a TEENSY bit and layering it on in thin layers will not disturb any makeup I have on underneath. So far I’ve tried it on my ultra-sensitive eyes, lips, cheeks, shoulders, and hair. I wore this all over my shoulders and mixed into my favorite Ouai hair oil in my hair for a recent night out and people were almost gasping at my dinner table every time this caught the candlelight. It can be a little messy to apply if putting it on the body or in the hair, but I found it washed off easily with soap and water. I was skeptical of wearing a glitter highlight since I’m out of my 20’s but the fleck on this is so fine, it’s really a sophisticated glitter. Like, I could see Dita Von Teese wearing this on stage. I definitely want to try Aurora next.”

“Don’t bother if you wear foundation
I tried to love this product because of the hype, but it didn’t work for me. I tried under makeup, on top, mixing with foundation, but it kept settling and disturbing my foundation. I tried a beauty blender and a brush. I really wanted it to work! It made my foundation, which is usually smooth, patchy, and gross. I’m not sure how people are using this, perhaps on bare skin. It might be worth it if you don’t wear concealer, foundation, etc.”

Givenchy Le Rouge Metallic Peony Lipstick – $29 on Sale

It is a glittery, metallic, and iridescent iconic Le Rouge lipstick that is reinvented for the Givenchy Gardens Collection. This unique shimmering formula delivers a frosted effect in one stroke. The result is a glittery veil coat on the lips for a fresh makeup look that is perfect for springtime. This lipstick also features a new floral look to its couture Le Rouge Lipstick case reinterpreted in an impressionist style. I love the color and the softness of the lipstick.

What Others Are Saying? 5 stars by 9 reviewers

“If this had not been on sale I would not have tied it. But it looked so pretty. It’s gorgeous on and the color would be spectacular on anyone. Highly recommend.”

“This is a beautiful shade of lipstick that comes in a beautiful case. I love the peony color and the glitter is so beautiful. Even though I only applied a little bit in the morning, it was still visible after a full day of eating, drinking, etc. I am in love with this lipstick and I totally recommend it for others to buy it as well!”

Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Frost Lipstick – $16 on Sale

In just one sensual swipe, Le Marc Lip Frost Lipstick delivers high-impact metallic shine that’s never sheer or glittery. The unprecedented color payoff comes from concentrated, color-boosting pigments that are triple-milled and enriched with hydrating ingredients—imparting ultimate long-lasting color and moisture. Powerful peptides, antioxidant-rich seaberry, and natural humectants—including meranti and cocoa butter—leave lips feeling nourished. The subtle vanilla taste and scent mimic a decadent dessert.

What Others Are Saying? 4.3 stars by 43 reviewers

“Bought this item while on sale to give it a try and I’m glad I did. It applies smoothly and very noticeable on my deep lips from the very first swipe. Gives a subtle shimmer but nothing that makes you look to juvenile. The packaging has a magnetic top which was a great surprise. Love the wild print as well. It’s sleek and perfect for a clutch! Stays put as well once applied and doesn’t feel dry or caked on, but definitely requires minor touch ups throughout the day. It’s so cute to look at though that reapplying is not a hassle.”

“Thought it would have a little more red, as that’s what the picture shows. Either way, I love the shade, the feel, smell, the packaging, and love the magnetic close!! More makeup should come in animal print. Is snakeskin next?! Glad I got it on sale, rn in my life I wouldn’t pay full price, in the future, absolutely.”

My Latest Beauty Finds at Mac Cosmetics


Hi there my beautiful lovelies! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. Today I will share with you my latest beauty finds at Mac Cosmetics. I love the products from Mac Cosmetics.

To be honest, when I first started buying makeup products years ago, I first started at Mac Cosmetics. I love their products but it was hard for a novice makeup person to find her way through Mac. It was hard for me to navigate through the vast collection at Mac. The only item I absolutely loved is their lipsticks. At Sephora, I had someone color match the products to my skin tone, and learn the basics of makeup and beauty products. Once I learned about my skin tone and type along with my products suited to my skin tone and type, I was able to use that to buy more beauty products at Mac Cosmetics.

After a long time, I finally did a small shopping spree (with cash of course) at Mac Cosmetics. I got the following items: Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder, Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Got A Callback, and Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Over The Taupe.

Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation ($33)

It is a one-step pressed powder and foundation that gives skin a 12-hour ultra-matte finish while controlling shine and without causing acne. It does not look cakey at all. I give a light no-makeup makeup look. This foundation gives skin a smooth and even ultra-matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage, with a velvety texture that allows the skin to breathe. M∙A∙C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is long-wearing, color-true, non-caking, non-streaking, and non-settling – all for 12 hours.

Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder ($29)

A pro-quality, refined loose powder to set makeup with a matte finish. Infused with nourishing ingredients, it wears comfortably without feeling drying. With sheer coverage, M∙A∙C Studio Fix Perfecting Powder is a universal makeup must for beginners and buffs alike.

Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Got A Callback ($24)

This is a liquid lipcolour with a whipped, mousse-like texture that delivers soft-focus moisture-matte, comfortable color with ten hours of hydration. I love the way the color looks on my skin tone. The special blend of vitamin E, powders, and emollient properties provides excellent cushion, flexibility, wear, and moisture that will leave lips looking and feeling soft and smooth all day.

Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Over The Taupe ($24)

This is a nude tone. I love the color. I love wearing nude colors at work on a regular basis. I again love the way it looks on my skin tone. and the soft, hydrating, and yet matte lip color.

Verdict: Overall, I love each of the products that I got at Mac. Through items, Mac does live up to its reputation as a provider of quality beauty products. While trying these items, I went back to my regular trip to the Mac Store in Union Station in Washington D.C. I love the interactions, the quality you never get online.

My dear lovelies! I hope you enjoy the post as much as I loved sharing it. Please let me know about your favorite products at Mac Cosmetics.

Power of the Petal – Sephora Favorites


sephora3

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had wonderful Saturday. I have been sick for the past two weeks from severe cold and sinus. However, I am back to share with you today one the items I got from Sephora. Unfortunately, it is no longer available at Sephora. It’s the Power of the Petal from Sephora Favorites. 

Description: This $38 set contains 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Face Lifting Soft Cream – 0.24 oz/ 7 mL Estée Edit Pink Peony Overnight Water Pack – 0.71 oz/ 21 mL Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask with Echinacea GreenEnvy – Deep Moisture (Cucumber) – 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Fresh Rose Face Mask – 0.51 oz/ 15 mL Karuna Age-Defying+ Hand Mask – 0.7 oz/ 20 mL L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate – 0.09 oz/ 2.8 mL Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask – 1 oz/ 30 mL SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. The set is worth $114.

Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Face Lifting Soft Cream: This lightweight, but intensely nourishing cream delivers visible plumping and firming hydration while leaving a matte, pearlized finish.

Estée Edit Pink Peony Overnight Water Pack: The water-gel formula provides a power-packed punch of glow and hydration while you sleep. Pink peony, gogi berry, blueberry, and cranberry soothe, smooth, and brighten skin while hyaluronic acid hydrates. This mask can be used daily as an overnight treatment or anytime as a hydrating and energizing mask. It really keeps my skin smooth and hydrated.

Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask with Echinacea GreenEnvy – Deep Moisture (Cucumber): Cucumber extract delivers high levels of vitamin C, which assist in helping to maintain moisture levels, while the Echinacea GreenEnvy contains the highest known concentration of cichoric acid—helps protect the skin by supporting natural collagen. My skin felt hydrated and healthy after the 20-minute process. Can’t recommend more!

Fresh Rose Face Mask: This hydrating and toning gel mask is infused with real rose petals, soothing rosewater, and a “smart” algae that deliver optimum moisture. I have a big fan of masks, and this almost completely absorbed into my skin. It smells good and feels great on my skin. However, I am not sure if I am not convinced enough to pay $62 for the 3.3 oz size. You can get the 1 oz for $25. I am not completely convinced yet.

Karuna Age-Defying+ Hand Mask: This hand mast contains creamy oil-serum that leaves your hands more hydrated, softer, and smoother in as little as one application. This mask is amazing. You can actually use your phone, without living any oily residue while using this mask. How cool is that! Most of all, it left my hand soft, hydrated and bright after one use. I am definitely buying this masking again. I am so glad Sephora Favorites introduced me to this mask. ‘

loccitane

L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate: The concentrate is enriched with almond oil and milk for a firmer, smoother, and hydrated looking skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It is extremely moisturizing and not greasy at all. However, it is quite pricey.

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask: This fast-acting eye treatment sheet contains pure retinol micro-infusion technology to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as 15 minutes. The stretchy material adheres nicely to visible laugh lines around the mouth too.  The eye mask brightens and smoothes under-eye area after the first use. However, it is quite pricey. It’s $65 for a pack of 12 masks. I will probably use it for special occasions.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence:  This treatment essence is enriched with more than 90 percent Pitera, the main ingredient used to enhance the skin’s renewal process. Additionally, it contains nourishing vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and acids to promote the skin’s renewal. I saw great reviews about this product. However, I did not see much difference on my skin.  I only used it a couple of times hence probably is too early to judge. However, when I look at the price of the item, I think I will pass.

My dear readers! I am really glad that I got the chance to try so many wonderful products. I am really glad that I got try these products and would like to thank Sephora for this.

What is your favorite product from here?  Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Tarte Make Believe In Yourself: Eye & Cheek Palette


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are doing well. Today want to take the time to talk to about this beautiful palette to my collection. It’s the Make Believe In Yourself: Eye & Cheek Palette from Tarte. It retails for $40.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Description: This is an unicorn-inspired eyeshadow palette with 10 radiant shadows and a strobing eye and cheek highlighter. This is the latest collection from Tarte. It contains eight shimmering eye shades, a matte nude shade, and a pearl highlight shimmer.

Verdict: This is a beautiful palette that I absolutely love and adore. Use your fingers or a dense brush to apply these shadows. They go so well for a soft glam day look and you can add a liner for a night look. The wear lasts all day or all night!  I mix with some darker mattes to make a halo eye, but you can create something beautiful and unique using it alone. I have seen a lot of negative reviews about the lack of pigment. However, if you just use your finger or a flat dense brush pigmentation works great. Just try it. The shades are just superb!

What is your favorite shimmering eyeshadow palette? Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Oh, Thy Metallic Lips!


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday. Today I want to talk to you about my new favorite metallic lip color from Jouer. It’s Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Matte Liquid Lipstick. It retails for $18.

Description: This cruelty-free liquid lipstick provides all day coverage, and has a very subtle vanilla scent. It’s the papaye-metallic warm peach color gives you the trendy look that you deserve.

Verdict: The metallic papaye is a pure copper color with a nice vanilla scent. It is a bit drying on my lips. Hence, I apply a little eos as a primer. I also add it with different color lip liner to change the tone of the color as the pure copper tone does not go well with my skin tone. I also add it on top of different color lipsticks to turn them into metallic chic. Overall, I like the metallic lipstick though I’m not a big fan of the copper tone, which I address with different color lip liners and lipstick.

Viseart Petit PRO Eyeshadow Palette


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. As you know I am a big eyeshadow. Hence, when I first heard about Petit PRO palette from Viseart I had to try it out. However, it I had to place my name on the waitlist for months. Despite the long wait, I finally got hold of a palette for $30.

Description: All Viseart Cosmetics are individually handmade in Paris, France, made of a blend of organic ingredients and modern technology to produce absolutely amazing pigmentation. The petit PRO palette is an eight-shade eyeshadow palette in versatile pigment-rich colors in matte, satin, and shimmer textures.

Verdict: I knew the palette was small but did not know that it was credit card size palette. I guess that’s why it’s called petite. However, I wanted to try the much-coveted Viseart palette with breaking my bank. The pigment is still Viseart status so it’s amazing! It is a great size for travelers and you can pack luxury in your purse! The shadow is so soft. I am glad that I have waited to get this palette. Again, you will get small shadow pans, but they are so pigmented you won’t need a lot. I am not ecstatic about the size of the palette, but I really love that this most pigmented, blendable and softest palette that I have tried so far. Additionally, I can just carry it in my purse.

Verdict: What can say about this palette! This is a beautiful metallic glow kit. Some of the shades were little of golden for me. However, the shades are buttery and creamy. A lot of these shades make beautiful eyeshadow and I use them as such. I just spray my brush with setting spray before picking up the highlighter. As for highlighter little goes a long way.

The Versatile Nocturnal Shadow Box from Urban Decay


Hi there my lovelies! Happy President’s Day to everyone. Hope you are having a wonderful Monday. How are you spending your long weekend? I spent mine sipping my favorite Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino at Starbucks. I thought I spend a part of the day talking to about a product that I recently had a chance to try out: the Nocturnal Shadow Box from Urban Decay.

Description: This is a limited edition eyeshadow palette that comes in 12 shades and retails for $29. The palette has eight must-haves from UD’s current collection and four exclusives from past sets, including three of the most-requested shades from past vice palettes.

Verdict: As expected from Urban Decay, this palette delivers beautiful and versatile shades. While it has natural shades, it also has bold and bright shades that make this palette stand out from others. The colors blend so easily and are creamy as well. The only one thing that I have an issue with, is that the darker shades can be really flaky and can have a lot of fallout, which can be annoying. However, in order avoid fallouts from the darker shades make sure to tap your brush well on or you will have flakes under your eyes to clean up. They layer well, so take your time. Due to the flakes and fallouts, I give this palette four stars. Otherwise, I absolutely love it.
