ColourPop Sol + Mar // Palette Review

ColourPop Sol + Mar // Palette Review


If you haven't already, check out my first impressions on the ColourPop Sol + Mar Palettes on my YouTube! 
Other ColourPop palette reviews will be linked below as well. 

I was so excited about the launch on these palettes and bought them on launch day! They're both such cute travel size palettes that are so affordable! I'm not sure if these palettes are limited edition for the summer or not, but wanted to get my review up for you guys incase. The last time I checked they were still available. You can can watch my first impressions on these palettes where I tried one palette on each eye. I honestly was super impressed! You can see the eye looks below. There is pigment, they blended like other ColourPop shadows, and the overall looks were stunning! The shades are intense colors for such an affordable price and I love that so much! Again, watch my first impressions for all those details. Fast forward to me trying each palette out again and I'm not going to lie.. I seen some changes. Lets start with Sol, I didn't see too many changes with this palette. The second look I did with it (all looks will be below) wasn't as vibrant as the first look, but that was just the choice in shades. The look was still a beautiful bronze summer eye and I really liked the outcome! 
The Mar palette I however did see some changes. The amazing part is that the darker blue (glitter blue shade, Gridlock) in this palette is stunning! So pigmented, blendable, long-wearing, etc.. You don't see that too often! The matte blue (almost a blueberry shade, Detour) however, was rather hard for me to work with. When it is swatched it is beautiful, but working with a brush just fades the pigment almost completely! I'm going to have to try using it just with my finger to see if the outcome is better, but I still hoped a matte shade like that would work well with a brush. The other mattes and metallics/shimmers were stunning in this palette like the Sol palette. Then I tried using  the more orange (Boozy) shade in this palette and was super confused by it. The formula is so odd, not very pigmented, and overall I had a hard time with it. The shade above it (El Rey) I found out is about the same way, but after "scraping off" the top layer of that shade the pigment is there now. I tried with the orange shade and no luck. Besides the couple of shades that have odd formulas I still love this palette as well. 
Final thoughts are that I love both of them.. I personally think they're worth the $12 and would recommend them if you're growing a collection of palettes. If you're just looking for a couple staple palettes, I would honestly recommend other ColourPop palettes before these though. That is just so you have the same quality with each shade in the palette and you get good use out of each shade! I will continue to use these palettes, but I do feel like ColourPop should have spent more time formulating these shades, especially with how gorgeous they are! 

ColourPop Sol + Mar Palettes are a 8/10 for me! 
You can gets yours for $12 each at ColourPop!

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...
