Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose // Makeup Monday

Storybook Cosmetics Little Briar Rose // Makeup Monday


This may be my very first Storybook Cosmetics palette, but I have been eyeing this brand for years now. I'm always intrigued, but I guess it's the fear of trying something new and not knowing if I will like it or not. Their packaging is so adorable and I fall in love with each launch. This was a HUGE deal for me when Boxycharm announced we would be getting a Storybook Cosmetics palette in our boxes! This does seem to be a limited supply of palettes that they curated with Boxycharm, but last time I checked the website they still had palettes available and at a discount price if you're interested! This wasn't the only one. This is the bigger palette they offered for BoxyLuxe, but the regular Boxycharm boxes had a smaller palette. I believe one was Red Riding Hood and one was Robin Hood. Both super cute and I may end up caving and picking those up with the discount. Haha!
So I do have to say my First Impressions of this palette was great. I had no issues with the mattes blending and the metallic I added was gorgeous. The second go-around which you can see in my 4 Looks 1 Palette video I had other thoughts with the mattes I used being patchy and not blending well. The third time I tried to go more simple with the one matte blown across my entire eye and then I took one of the metallics (*spoiler* the silver) and used it as a wing liner moment. It turned out cute, but again it was more simple. The 4th look (the last one I have done with this palette since) was mainly a bold blue look for Pantone's Color of the Year 2020 and it too was a metallic... I wish I could speak more on the mattes, but I felt the simpler I made the looks the better with this palette. I am still very intrigued to check out another one of theirs to play up the mattes and see if it was just this palette or maybe just the dark shade in this palette not pressed right (or to my liking) besides that I have to say the packaging is one of the most beautiful and creative ones I have seen on the beauty market. I can't wait to see future launches from them and hope to try another one of their palettes soon for an update. This palette has 5 mattes and 7 metallics which I like since I did enjoy the metallics a lot. I also wanted to point out how well these shades go together too. It's very simple, but elegant which is perfect for this theme.

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I was so skeptical about this product. I mean it is a super fine powder that is suppose to exfoliate my skin. It is a super fine powder, but it still does the trick! While being extremely gentle to the skin the natural starch and silk powder exfoliates your skin removing dead skin build up and surface build up in pores. On top of that it will leave your skin glowing with the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid from all the fruit extracts in this. It has not only pineapple, but also kiwi and papaya! What's even better (that I have absolutely loved!) is that this is made without microbeads, nuts, or anything that will be too harsh and could potentially scratch the surface of your skin.  While being super gentle it will also leave your skin soothed and calm with the calamine powder and allantoin that is in it too.  Sorry I sound like an infomercial in these blogs. I just want all the info out there for you w...

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...
