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

Tower 28 Beauty | Makeup

 To the brand that has opened my eyes to a creative outlet while thinking of my skin all the time. Tower 28 Beauty has proved to me that you can have fun with makeup while taking your skin into consideration the entire time. While it's still fun to dip into all my other makeup I have found so much joy in my lightweight makeup ways. The shift happened after trying more cream products and Tower 28 has been one of them. I eyed the beauty of this brand for a while and then took the plunge with their cream bronzer, Bronzino in the shade Sun Coast (the lightest to go with my fair complexion), Beach Please Balm Blush in the shade Power Hour , and a couple of their ShineOn Lip Jellies (Almond & Cashew) .  Their creams are balms so you get a full shine to your look. They not only make your skin look glossy and healthy but also vibrant with the pigment. The blushes really pack a punch in pigment and can be worn as a flush of color or built-up. The bronzer is a little less pigmented th

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Alamar Cosmetics Spanglish | Makeup

I've been loving Alamar since it started and I love to see how far they have come. It's an indie brand I will always recommend so to then get their products in Boxycharm or Boxy Pop Up sales its a win win! That's how I got my Spanglish palette . You can already see this is an Ally palette by the purples! It's a gorgeous one with buttery mattes and stunning metallics. I also appreciate the subtle browns while also having the pops of color too. I found the color story pretty, but also odd. It's not one you see a lot but it does work. I have also found myself creating unique shades by mixing shades together. It's definitely a cute summer moment that you won't be disappointed with.  Swatches left to right: Pero Like, Eres Un Show, Tiene Swing, Guao, Ay Que Cute, Jajaja, Muy Excited, & Ponte Hyper.  Did you miss these blogs?  Lizzie McGuire x ColourPop | Makeup KVD Beauty Edge of Reality | Makeup Beautbean x Shroud It's Freakin' Bats | Makeup I als
