Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday



 Although this palette is not actually available on Dominique Cosmetics I wanted to still share it since it's the very first DC palette I have tried. I link her Celestial Storm palette above since it's the full-size palette from that launch... A baby Celestial Storm. You can check out my four looks with this palette, but I wanted to share the swatches and my overall thoughts of this formula. I'm still not completely sure if this palette is just like the others or not. I don't want to come off as hating this palette because I really don't. I struggled with shades for sure, but overall really like this palette. The mattes I find a little difficult to work with mainly so with Zero Gravity the charcoal grey shade. I used it in 3/4 looks in my video and had troubles each time. It reminded me a little of the Subculture fiasco. I find the mattes and metallics to both be pretty dry and think that is part of the issue. When using the warm tone mattes they weren't my favorite again, but it wasn't as bad as the grey. 
The metallics come off as crumbly and dry, but really do apply extremely beautiful! They, of course, were best applied with my finger but were just as good as many metallics in my collection. What I really liked about the metallics, although they are dry, they have unique looks to them. It's almost a duo-chrome effect. The black has pink shifts to it, the orange shifts red, and the off white is like a sheer layer of sparkles. 
This mini palette offers 5 mattes and 3 metallics, but the Celestial Storm palette has 6 mattes and 6 metallics. I had originally thought this was a separate palette from the Celestial Storm and just geared towards that same theme, but these shades are in fact in the actual Celestial Storm palette.  I think it is cool that Boxycharm included it, but I was more interested in the full palette with the added shades. You guys know how I am with my purples... Ha! 
The color story alone is gorgeous and her palettes spark my attention every single launch so I definitely want to invest in more of her palettes soon to compare the formula. 




Swatches left to right: Eternal Light, Fireball, Black Matter, Zero Gravity, Lucid Dream, Storm Dust, Lunar Eclipse, & Mystic Ice

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...
