Dose of Color {Desi X Katy} Collection "The Girls" Palette Review

Dose of Color {Desi X Katy} Collection "The Girls" Palette Review


I love Desi (Desi Perkins) and Katy (LustreLux) so much! They have the best personalities and aren't afraid to be their down-to-earth selves. If you need a new Youtuber to watch that will make you laugh in each video, then you should look them up! I thought it was so awesome to see them collaborate with a company in general, but also so exciting to see them collaborate together with the company! I've honestly have never tried Dose of Colors products, but I've heard amazing things so that made me really interested in this line even more!
The packaging on these products are all stunning! The actual shades in this palette are gorgeous as well.  This is "The Girls" Eyeshadow Quad. They both have two dogs each, so they named a shade after each pup. It's a cute idea, but I really wish they would've came out with a full palette with more shades and more varieties on the formula of the eyeshadows.
The first look I created with this eyeshadow quad was a mess! I went with a "halo" effect eye look (linked below under look 1). I took the shade Suz (top left) all over my lid and used the shade Turbosan (bottom left) as the center "halo" and this darker shade ended up on the entire lid. I had a hard time working with it. This palette does come with a card explaining that the best application would be with a finger and that a couple of the shades should be used "wet" with water or a makeup spray. You can see below the swatches of these are stunning! They're so pigmented and such unique shades! I did like the outcome of my first look, but was disappointed that it wasn't what I wanted in the first place. I felt like the lighter Suz (top left) shade didn't stand out in my inner corner enough to show just how pretty that shade is, but the look came together. These are hard to work with brushes, so blending was a little tough because I didn't want to lose any pigmentation. The easiest shade to blend with a brush was Noli (top right) and I was able to blend that shade in my crease in my second look using this quad. I also incorporated the shade Harpoon (bottom right) in my second look on the lids. The fall-out on these shades are pretty intense, so I would recommend applying your eye makeup before the rest. Overall it seems like I've pointed out a lot of flaws, and while I'm not 100% in love with this I have to say what wins me over is how unique these are; not just the shades, but the formula too! They took a huge chance at how people would react to these because they aren't the easiest to work with. I feel like I wouldn't reach for this quad too often, but when I'm in a really creative mood I would like to work with these shades some more. 

The Girls Eyeshadow Quad is a 7/10 for me!
This quad is $28.00 (Limited Edition!) You can get yours on Dose of Colors.

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
