Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday

Kylie Cosmetics x Balmain // Makeup Monday 



This collection was one I was drawn to because I knew how much I would love it in the spring. It's simple with a little color and that's what I love in 9 pan palettes. They're perfect for everyday wear and for that they're super handy and probably my most used palettes. I also love how some of the mattes and metallics in this palette complement each other for beautiful monochromatic looks. 
I did four looks with this palette in a video and you can really tell I've been loving those monochromatic looks too! I'm also usually drawn in by purple shadows, but the layout and everything about this palette just spoke to me. I'm shocked at how many weren't interested in it, but at the same time, I understand completely considering she launched it in October. For one, I was waiting and expecting another amazing Halloween launch from her which didn't happen and for two, these are obviously spring tones that probably won't do great in the fall. With Paris fashion week I guess there was no getting around it, but I'm so happy to be getting this blog up now because this palette is now back in stock and spring is just around the corner! I also wanted to mention it, even though it's repetitive, this is a review so it should be said. This formula is like any other Kylie formula and I enjoyed both mattes and metallics. There are more metallics (5 metallics) in this one than mattes (2 mattes) and there is also another pressed glitter (just 1) in this palette. The pressed glitter is like ones before. Although it may seem crumbly pressed on with your finger it packs right on the lid and wears great! She has one of the best pressed glitter formulas I have ever tried!

Paris Lip Kit & High Gloss (Model Behavior) 

While I want to mention these because I've really enjoyed them. It looks like they're no longer available on her website which is irritating since it has only been a few months. The lip kit isn't my favorite. It looks stunning on Kylie, but I find the pink to be unflattering paired with the brown liner on myself. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the pink liquid lipstick in general, but oh my God that brown liner is my new BFF. I seriously wore it for days after trying it, ordered more brown lip products, and I'm devastated that it is no longer on her site. The shade/tone of it is perfect and I'm so bummed that it may never be back. 
The High Gloss is the first of that formula from her that I have tried and I love it! The shade is clear with specks of (not too chunky) glitter that you can see in the swatched photo of it. It is so beautiful and it was my most used gloss since getting this collection. It's not my top favorite in shade, but I definitely want more of her High Gloss now.

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...
