Pinky Rose Cosmetics * Bright Lights * // Palette Review

Pinky Rose Cosmetics * Bright Lights * // Palette Review 


This bright, fun, and colorful (way out of my comfort zone) palette came in my first ever Ricky's Cult Crushes subscription that I got in April. That video is linked below under the first look. 
You can see my first impressions of the palette in that video, but first thought was.. "man this is cheaply made." The actual pans literally were falling out of the palette! So packaging? Not great. 
Then as I started trying the shades on my eyes it really surprised me with how well they were looking! Since that video I have used every shade besides one of the glitter shades, which is the same texture as the other glitters. The mattes are not only PIGMENTED, but super blendable. When swatched the mattes come off as chalky, but that's not the case on the eyes. As for the glitters, yes GLITTERS. These aren't shimmers they're literally pressed glitters. I've been having a hard time coming up with a review on this palette because of the glitters. I don't know how to explain them, because the formula is so new to me! When you swatch these you think "Oh God, what is this chunky mess?!" "Are these even eye safe?!" "This swatch is awful!" 
The list goes on. They're pretty in the palette, not so much in swatches. I had a hard time getting good swatches of them (see below). I can say on the eyes that's a whole different story again. I of course used a glitter glue ( I used Too Faced Glitter Glue)  for this type of formula. You could probably try it with a regular eye primer as well. It needs something wet or tacky to stick to. I also recommend applying your eye makeup (while using this palette) before your face makeup! The mattes don't have bad fall-out, but the glitters can be tricky and messy, just like regular glitters are. Once applied on the eyes, these glitters are stunning! Just like what you have in the pan is on your eyes! These will transfer if you have hooded eyes, like myself, but besides that these are great! The glitters for me are something nice to have in my collection and will be handy for future inspo looks, but not something I would want to hassle with all the time. They're pretty for sure, but very out there. Not something you would reach for all the time. That really is okay though since there is only 3 glitters, 9 mattes, and 2 metallics. I've already said the mattes are great, but there is two metallic shades. They are't bad, but they didn't blow me away either. My typical metallic shades are super pigmented and creamy. These two are more on the creamy side, but not as pigmented as a lot of metallics out there. The colors in this blew me away for sure! So many bright shades and from a brand I had never heard of before. I wasn't expecting a lot out of it. This was definitely a very surprising palette! I understand this isn't everyones cup off tea, it still has colors that intimidate me, but I got it so I wanted to review it. I wanted to for the people out there that love the more colorful palettes, the ones like me that would like to have one in there collection, but definitely want a good one, and because of how great of a palette it turned out to be. The last thing I need to mention is the wear time. It wasn't the greatest that I have, but it still wore pretty decently. I'm not saying it is a awful wear-time for these bright colors, but don't expect it to last 12 hours. 

This palette gets a 8/10 for me only because of the faulty packaging. 
The Bright Lights Palette is $24.99 and you can purchase yours at Pinky Rose Cosmetics

Tower 28 Beauty | Makeup

 To the brand that has opened my eyes to a creative outlet while thinking of my skin all the time. Tower 28 Beauty has proved to me that you can have fun with makeup while taking your skin into consideration the entire time. While it's still fun to dip into all my other makeup I have found so much joy in my lightweight makeup ways. The shift happened after trying more cream products and Tower 28 has been one of them. I eyed the beauty of this brand for a while and then took the plunge with their cream bronzer, Bronzino in the shade Sun Coast (the lightest to go with my fair complexion), Beach Please Balm Blush in the shade Power Hour , and a couple of their ShineOn Lip Jellies (Almond & Cashew) .  Their creams are balms so you get a full shine to your look. They not only make your skin look glossy and healthy but also vibrant with the pigment. The blushes really pack a punch in pigment and can be worn as a flush of color or built-up. The bronzer is a little less pigmented th

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Alamar Cosmetics Spanglish | Makeup

I've been loving Alamar since it started and I love to see how far they have come. It's an indie brand I will always recommend so to then get their products in Boxycharm or Boxy Pop Up sales its a win win! That's how I got my Spanglish palette . You can already see this is an Ally palette by the purples! It's a gorgeous one with buttery mattes and stunning metallics. I also appreciate the subtle browns while also having the pops of color too. I found the color story pretty, but also odd. It's not one you see a lot but it does work. I have also found myself creating unique shades by mixing shades together. It's definitely a cute summer moment that you won't be disappointed with.  Swatches left to right: Pero Like, Eres Un Show, Tiene Swing, Guao, Ay Que Cute, Jajaja, Muy Excited, & Ponte Hyper.  Did you miss these blogs?  Lizzie McGuire x ColourPop | Makeup KVD Beauty Edge of Reality | Makeup Beautbean x Shroud It's Freakin' Bats | Makeup I als
