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

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...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
