ColourPop Sol + Mar // Palette Review

ColourPop Sol + Mar // Palette Review


 If you haven't already, check out my first impressions on the ColourPop Sol + Mar Palettes on my YouTube! 
Other ColourPop palette reviews will be linked below as well. 

I was so excited about the launch on these palettes and bought them on launch day! They're both such cute travel size palettes that are so affordable! I'm not sure if these palettes are limited edition for the summer or not, but wanted to get my review up for you guys incase. The last time I checked they were still available. You can can watch my first impressions on these palettes where I tried one palette on each eye. I honestly was super impressed! You can see the eye looks below. There is pigment, they blended like other ColourPop shadows, and the overall looks were stunning! The shades are intense colors for such an affordable price and I love that so much! Again, watch my first impressions for all those details. Fast forward to me trying each palette out again and I'm not going to lie.. I seen some changes. Lets start with Sol, I didn't see too many changes with this palette. The second look I did with it (all looks will be below) wasn't as vibrant as the first look, but that was just the choice in shades. The look was still a beautiful bronze summer eye and I really liked the outcome! 
The Mar palette I however did see some changes. The amazing part is that the darker blue (glitter blue shade, Gridlock) in this palette is stunning! So pigmented, blendable, long-wearing, etc.. You don't see that too often! The matte blue (almost a blueberry shade, Detour) however, was rather hard for me to work with. When it is swatched it is beautiful, but working with a brush just fades the pigment almost completely! I'm going to have to try using it just with my finger to see if the outcome is better, but I still hoped a matte shade like that would work well with a brush. The other mattes and metallics/shimmers were stunning in this palette like the Sol palette. Then I tried using  the more orange (Boozy) shade in this palette and was super confused by it. The formula is so odd, not very pigmented, and overall I had a hard time with it. The shade above it (El Rey) I found out is about the same way, but after "scraping off" the top layer of that shade the pigment is there now. I tried with the orange shade and no luck. Besides the couple of shades that have odd formulas I still love this palette as well. 
Final thoughts are that I love both of them.. I personally think they're worth the $12 and would recommend them if you're growing a collection of palettes. If you're just looking for a couple staple palettes, I would honestly recommend other ColourPop palettes before these though. That is just so you have the same quality with each shade in the palette and you get good use out of each shade! I will continue to use these palettes, but I do feel like ColourPop should have spent more time formulating these shades, especially with how gorgeous they are! 

ColourPop Sol + Mar Palettes are a 8/10 for me! 
You can gets yours for $12 each at ColourPop!

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...
