Morphe x Jeffree Star // Makeup Monday

Morphe x Jeffree Star // Makeup Monday 


I've been a little MIA ever since I started filming for Halloween, but blogs are coming! Happy Makeup Monday! Are we even ready to talk about this drama-filled launch? I feel like Jeffree had good intentions working with Morphe, but like a lot of others, I'm still trying to process why they would create a palette together in Morphe's formula instead of Jeffree Star Cosmetics formula. 
I feel like everyone wants a brush collab with Morphe because the quality is bomb and I thought that idea with Jeffree was great! Even the lip sets with JSC Velour Liquid Lipsticks and Morphe glosses mixed is such an awesome idea, but still confused on the palette. I have thought about purchasing the brush sets several times, but still, haven't just because I have so many brushes already! When it comes to the lip sets I may buy them, but I already own those Velour shades. The travel sizes may be the only reason I do decide to get them. The real reason for this blog is to share my experience with this palette and of course to show off the pictures I took with pink chocolate covered strawberries. Ha!



This palette does have some very Jeffree shades, but at the same time, I'm still not the hugest fan of this layout of shades together. I actually appreciate the overkill of neutral transition shades because most palettes don't have enough or the right undertones in the shades. I swear Jeffree makes the best transition shades! There are several of them here, but all of them pull different on the lids/crease to start each look differently which I love. I like that each row is sorta its own color story, but at the same time, I wish they focused on the campaign pictures which are bright with pink and green. I would've been sold on that without all the warm shades throwing me off. I feel like you can achieve a  lot of looks with this palette which is great, but don't expect it to be as good as JSC palettes. I do like some of Morphe's palettes a lot, but some shades seem to apply uneven and choppy. I did experience that with a few of the more intense shades in this palette and I feel like if it was in JSC formula that wouldn't have happened. I can say all these shades wore really well and are really gorgeous with the exception that since some are pressed pigments they may (and will) stain your lids. I overall think Jeffree took a hit for this collab, but know he will be bouncing back with his upcoming Jeffree x Shane palette with HIS formula. You can check out my 4 looks 1 palette on this collab to see more of my thoughts. 


I feel like I bought the palette in a way that was more curious than anything, but I was really excited about the launch of this setting mist! I absolutely love Morphe's Continuous Setting Mist so I just knew this would be a hit. Plus it's scented like strawberries with the name Star-Berry, but I was sadly mistaken. I feel like the spray is off maybe it's just my bottle, but it's so light that barely anything happens. I feel like the original has more to it in that area. This is the same formula, but it has extra ingredients added which may have been the reason for a change in that. I was also disappointed in the scent that doesn't smell of strawberries, but of a scent that I can't quite pinpoint, but it isn't a favorite of mine. I was more than anything bummed because I had been out of their original for a while and needed to repurchase it and went with this one instead. I will repurchase their original for sure.

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...
