Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder // Makeup Monday



 Although this palette is not actually available on Dominique Cosmetics I wanted to still share it since it's the very first DC palette I have tried. I link her Celestial Storm palette above since it's the full-size palette from that launch... A baby Celestial Storm. You can check out my four looks with this palette, but I wanted to share the swatches and my overall thoughts of this formula. I'm still not completely sure if this palette is just like the others or not. I don't want to come off as hating this palette because I really don't. I struggled with shades for sure, but overall really like this palette. The mattes I find a little difficult to work with mainly so with Zero Gravity the charcoal grey shade. I used it in 3/4 looks in my video and had troubles each time. It reminded me a little of the Subculture fiasco. I find the mattes and metallics to both be pretty dry and think that is part of the issue. When using the warm tone mattes they weren't my favorite again, but it wasn't as bad as the grey. 
The metallics come off as crumbly and dry, but really do apply extremely beautiful! They, of course, were best applied with my finger but were just as good as many metallics in my collection. What I really liked about the metallics, although they are dry, they have unique looks to them. It's almost a duo-chrome effect. The black has pink shifts to it, the orange shifts red, and the off white is like a sheer layer of sparkles. 
This mini palette offers 5 mattes and 3 metallics, but the Celestial Storm palette has 6 mattes and 6 metallics. I had originally thought this was a separate palette from the Celestial Storm and just geared towards that same theme, but these shades are in fact in the actual Celestial Storm palette.  I think it is cool that Boxycharm included it, but I was more interested in the full palette with the added shades. You guys know how I am with my purples... Ha! 
The color story alone is gorgeous and her palettes spark my attention every single launch so I definitely want to invest in more of her palettes soon to compare the formula. 




Swatches left to right: Eternal Light, Fireball, Black Matter, Zero Gravity, Lucid Dream, Storm Dust, Lunar Eclipse, & Mystic Ice

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...
