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.

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean Hallobean Palette | Makeup

Where to begin with this palette? Could it be the best of this season? Possibly so! This second round of Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean is everything I could dream up for a fall palette. Sure, I love the past Its Freakin' Bats palette. It is still a favorite with its spooky vibes. What the Hallobean Palette gives is not only a spooky vibe but a fall lovers' essentials in the shade range. With 5 mattes and 4 metallics, you have a good balance in formulas that are some of the best. The mattes are pigmented but are some of the easiest shadows to blend out. The metallics are a buttery dream with the prettiest payoff. These stunning shades that are named after such iconic Halloween movies/characters are everything and new favorites.   BattyBean did an incredible job on another gorgeous color story and Shroud really does deserve all the love/hype they are getting! xx Shades left to right: Ghastly, Afterlife, Crypt, Woodsboro, It's Showtime, Black Flame, Losers Club, Ghoulish...

Bh Cosmetics X Shaaanxo Palette Review

Bh Cosmetics x Shaaanxo Palette Review: I've been using this palette for quite awhile now and I've always loved it. I've been doing a lot of these "palette reviews" lately and plan to keep doing them, so why not do some old favorites as well?  If you like warm-tones, then this palette is for you. This was the palette that came out just before Kylie Jenner launched a palette that some say looked quite similar.  From pictures, they do seem to have close to the same shades. I only own this one so I can't say much for that palette. Shaaanxo's palette is stunning though. Even with just these 9 shades, I can/have come up with so many different eye looks over the summer. Speaking of which, this was one of my go-to palettes for the summer time. I still feel like I'll be able to get a lot of autumn looks with it as well. As you can see from the swatches, this palette is very pigmented and the shades blend really well on the eyes. The colors are also ...
