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

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...
