Pinky Rose Cosmetics * Bright Lights * // Palette Review

Pinky Rose Cosmetics * Bright Lights * // Palette Review 


This bright, fun, and colorful (way out of my comfort zone) palette came in my first ever Ricky's Cult Crushes subscription that I got in April. That video is linked below under the first look. 
You can see my first impressions of the palette in that video, but first thought was.. "man this is cheaply made." The actual pans literally were falling out of the palette! So packaging? Not great. 
Then as I started trying the shades on my eyes it really surprised me with how well they were looking! Since that video I have used every shade besides one of the glitter shades, which is the same texture as the other glitters. The mattes are not only PIGMENTED, but super blendable. When swatched the mattes come off as chalky, but that's not the case on the eyes. As for the glitters, yes GLITTERS. These aren't shimmers they're literally pressed glitters. I've been having a hard time coming up with a review on this palette because of the glitters. I don't know how to explain them, because the formula is so new to me! When you swatch these you think "Oh God, what is this chunky mess?!" "Are these even eye safe?!" "This swatch is awful!" 
The list goes on. They're pretty in the palette, not so much in swatches. I had a hard time getting good swatches of them (see below). I can say on the eyes that's a whole different story again. I of course used a glitter glue ( I used Too Faced Glitter Glue)  for this type of formula. You could probably try it with a regular eye primer as well. It needs something wet or tacky to stick to. I also recommend applying your eye makeup (while using this palette) before your face makeup! The mattes don't have bad fall-out, but the glitters can be tricky and messy, just like regular glitters are. Once applied on the eyes, these glitters are stunning! Just like what you have in the pan is on your eyes! These will transfer if you have hooded eyes, like myself, but besides that these are great! The glitters for me are something nice to have in my collection and will be handy for future inspo looks, but not something I would want to hassle with all the time. They're pretty for sure, but very out there. Not something you would reach for all the time. That really is okay though since there is only 3 glitters, 9 mattes, and 2 metallics. I've already said the mattes are great, but there is two metallic shades. They are't bad, but they didn't blow me away either. My typical metallic shades are super pigmented and creamy. These two are more on the creamy side, but not as pigmented as a lot of metallics out there. The colors in this blew me away for sure! So many bright shades and from a brand I had never heard of before. I wasn't expecting a lot out of it. This was definitely a very surprising palette! I understand this isn't everyones cup off tea, it still has colors that intimidate me, but I got it so I wanted to review it. I wanted to for the people out there that love the more colorful palettes, the ones like me that would like to have one in there collection, but definitely want a good one, and because of how great of a palette it turned out to be. The last thing I need to mention is the wear time. It wasn't the greatest that I have, but it still wore pretty decently. I'm not saying it is a awful wear-time for these bright colors, but don't expect it to last 12 hours. 

This palette gets a 8/10 for me only because of the faulty packaging. 
The Bright Lights Palette is $24.99 and you can purchase yours at Pinky Rose Cosmetics

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...
