Melt Cosmetics x Beetlejuice | Makeup

Melt Cosmetics x Beetlejuice | Makeup 

Being the huge Beetlejuice lover I am. How could I not be so excited for this?! These are actually my first palettes from Melt Cosmetics. A brand I have always wanted to try, but never have. I am pretty happy with this purchase for different reasons such as the color stories to the formula but I want to talk about both palettes in this post today. For the most part the formula has been consistent in both so I wanted to add here that they have super pigmented mattes. I have found them to blend well and work amazing with other shades. The metallics are pigmented as well and offer such a payoff that I'm always wowed with them. The rest I will leave below. 

The Waiting Room Palette 

Besides being a collectors buy I honestly told myself I didn't have a palette like this in my collection. Sure I could "shop my stash" and probably build a close palette to this, but I didn't have one put together already like this one. Plus the want to finally try Melt is what did it for me. I really don't have many of these in my collection though. I have found most of these to be so unique and although I love red I find myself barely reaching for it because it's usually not flattering on me. With this palette I have enjoyed wearing red. They chose the perfect undertones to make them work plus the berry tones help with that. Overall they're super flattering berries and reds in my opinion. I love the number of mattes and metallics in this one. I feel like there is more wiggle room with look options with this palette over the other too. This ended up being one that I think was not only a want purchase, but a good purchase in what I lack, but also what I'll use.

Recently Deceased Palette 

This one just looks like an "Ally purchase" to begin with, but these are also the shades I like to see with a Beetlejuice collection. Just like the other I find this one to be a good purchase (although I do have most of these purples over and over in my collection) as I will use this so much. Although a mixture of other shades would've been nice it is super satisfying to see all the greens and purples together in one. I have definitely used this palette more than the other. The consistency has been amazing beside the one dark purple shade that seems to work some days and others takes forever to blend. The looks I have achieved with it has me head over heels for both of these palettes.

Although I truly love both of these. I mean Melt killed it with this launch and getting Beetlejuice justice in a collab like so. But the hardest part I'm having is the cash grab of this launch. Now that I have fallen for this collection and wanted to share that love, these are no longer available which rubs me the wrong way since they're only a couple months old. A future restock would be nice and maybe they will around Halloween, but I hate low stock discontinued purchases so much. It makes it hard for me to use it and share it with you. I think it also keeps me from returning to the brand as well. Let me know what you think and if you picked up anything from this collection. XO

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...
