Melt Cosmetics x Beetlejuice | Makeup

Melt Cosmetics x Beetlejuice | Makeup 

Being the huge Beetlejuice lover I am. How could I not be so excited for this?! These are actually my first palettes from Melt Cosmetics. A brand I have always wanted to try, but never have. I am pretty happy with this purchase for different reasons such as the color stories to the formula but I want to talk about both palettes in this post today. For the most part the formula has been consistent in both so I wanted to add here that they have super pigmented mattes. I have found them to blend well and work amazing with other shades. The metallics are pigmented as well and offer such a payoff that I'm always wowed with them. The rest I will leave below. 

The Waiting Room Palette 

Besides being a collectors buy I honestly told myself I didn't have a palette like this in my collection. Sure I could "shop my stash" and probably build a close palette to this, but I didn't have one put together already like this one. Plus the want to finally try Melt is what did it for me. I really don't have many of these in my collection though. I have found most of these to be so unique and although I love red I find myself barely reaching for it because it's usually not flattering on me. With this palette I have enjoyed wearing red. They chose the perfect undertones to make them work plus the berry tones help with that. Overall they're super flattering berries and reds in my opinion. I love the number of mattes and metallics in this one. I feel like there is more wiggle room with look options with this palette over the other too. This ended up being one that I think was not only a want purchase, but a good purchase in what I lack, but also what I'll use.

Recently Deceased Palette 

This one just looks like an "Ally purchase" to begin with, but these are also the shades I like to see with a Beetlejuice collection. Just like the other I find this one to be a good purchase (although I do have most of these purples over and over in my collection) as I will use this so much. Although a mixture of other shades would've been nice it is super satisfying to see all the greens and purples together in one. I have definitely used this palette more than the other. The consistency has been amazing beside the one dark purple shade that seems to work some days and others takes forever to blend. The looks I have achieved with it has me head over heels for both of these palettes. 



Swatches left to right: Betelgeuse, Paranormal, Draw A Door, Neurotic, Recently Deceased, Lost Souls, Little Accident, & Bio Exorcist


Although I truly love both of these. I mean Melt killed it with this launch and getting Beetlejuice justice in a collab like so. But the hardest part I'm having is the cash grab of this launch. Now that I have fallen for this collection and wanted to share that love, these are no longer available which rubs me the wrong way since they're only a couple months old. A future restock would be nice and maybe they will around Halloween, but I hate low stock discontinued purchases so much. It makes it hard for me to use it and share it with you. I think it also keeps me from returning to the brand as well. Let me know what you think and if you picked up anything from this collection. XO

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...
