Urban Decay Born To Run // Palette Review

Urban Decay Born To Run // Palette Review This palette was a go-to for my summer! I took this on vacation with me, used it in quite a few videos because I was obsessed, and I  still haven't had enough of it yet! I wanted to get this palette review up because this will be such a good fall palette as well! It has perfect warm fall shades and those beautiful plum purples, which I love for fall! It does have a good mix of warm and cool tones. That makes this a great palette for travel, hence the travel theme. I have used this palette over and over. Not one shade has disappointed me  yet. You get a good variety of formulas from mattes, to shimmers, to metallics. Each one of them have been pigmented, blend well, and wear amazingly. I've never been one to reach out the Urban Decay palettes, other than the Naked line, but they have impressed me with this one for sure! The formula is different (in my opinion) than the Naked palettes, but it is still a great one! I also lo

Anastasia Beverly Hills NORVINA // Palette Review

Anastasia Beverly Hills NORVINA  // Palette Review With the launch of the newest ABH palette Sultry , I thought it would be a good time to address my thoughts on their last palette they launch a few months ago. The Norvina palette is the beautiful purple addition that ABH needed in their collection! I'm a little biased with purples, but this is honestly a game changer for them. I love that they went with a color theme that was more than just neutrals or "wearable shades." Norvina is such an inspiration in the beauty world and I have loved following her journey with her mom and this brand. They definitely know what they're doing with eyeshadow formulas! I feel like Subculture put a jam in that for most people, but they listened, brought back that traditional Modern Renaissance formula, and have been killing it since! I will have my other ABH  palette reviews link below for you guys. While this palette offers a few warm tone mattes it also has colorful mattes

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place // Foundation Review

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place // Foundation Review You guys may have seen that I tried out the  Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation for the first time about 3 months ago. Since then I have worked with this foundation over and over trying to find the perfect ways to apply it without it being super drying. The biggest factor in not trying this foundation in the first place was the shade range. It was awful! They finally released this shade which is 1C0 Shell - very light with cool pink undertones.  This was my only option. I'm very fair (ginger fair) and although I am a redhead I prefer neutral shades. This particular shade is cool tone. Although I can "make it work" I would like it to actually be a good go-to since it's $42! The coverage is bomb, it is a tad drying (I'm combo-to-dry skin type), and it lasts pretty decently, but God forbid you accidentally rub your nose.. (watch first impressions to see that issue).. Definitely pros and cons with t

Too Faced Matte Natural // Palette Review

Too Faced Matte Natural // Palette Review Was anyone else won over with this beautiful packaging?! It's been a minute since I've used this palette or have talked about it on my channel, but I wanted to put all of my thoughts of it in an update blog for you all. This is definitely a pretty palette. If you are a neutral person you will love it for the fact that you have cool tones and warm tones in one palette that are neutral. This palette intrigued me by it being a full matte palette. It took me out of my comfort zone because it's not often that I don't use a shimmer in a look. They are blendable mattes and work nicely, but I have found that usually each look I create looks oddly the absolute same. By time they are all blended out, the mattes form together. This isn't a bad thing if you're needing a day-to-day palette that is neutral, but if you already have these neutral shades in other palettes, I would recommend to skip on this one. Another thing to
