Anastasia Beverly Hills // Subculture Palette Review

Anastasia Beverly Hills // Subculture Palette Review



If you've read my Palette Review on the Modern Renaissance palette then you already know my love for it. There has been a lot of controversy over Subculture this past year. I really wasn't sure if I even wanted to buy this palette, but I couldn't pass it up over the color layout. What people say about the fall-out is very true, but the only time it has been a huge issue for me was when I didn't tap the excess product off my brush good enough. These are super powdery like the rumors say, but in my opinion I think it was exaggerated a tad. The shadows in Modern Renaissance are powdery too. Maybe not as bad as this palette, but it's not a huge difference. The pigmentation is there again for Anastasia Beverly Hills! The opaqueness of these shadows is unreal. A little goes a very very long way. That is after tapping off excess. The only letdown this palette has for me is the blendability. Other beauty influencers have mentioned this issue, but what a lot of them don't mention is that with practice, you can still achieve flawless looks, as you can with  the Modern Renaissance. I feel a lot of people used this once and gave up. I understand that you don't want to spend $40+ on a eye palette that takes a little while longer blending than others, but for these shades and pigment it's worth it to me! I've been playing with this palette for a few months now and although I don't love it as much as Modern Renaissance, it's still very close. 
Overall, this may not last as long as a Naked palette or Too Faced palette because of how much fall-out there is when tapping into the pans and that is a bummer, but like I said I've been trying this out for three months now. You can see below I have not hit pan like many claimed they did after one use! Just remember to tap lightly into your pans. The blending issues are a huge deal for me. I have to make sure I have the extra time when getting ready to spend on a little extra blending, but I love the out come. I've gotten better and better with each look I've created as I went. 
This palette comes with 14 shades. 11 ultra-mattes (roxy, dawn, destiny, fudge, new wave, untamed, all star, mercury, edge, rowdy, & axis),  1 metallic (adorn), & 2 duo-chrome (cube & electric). 

This palette is a 8/10 for me! 
Subculture is $42.00. You can find it on ABH, Ulta, & Sephora!

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
