Oceanic Palette

In today's palette review, I have a lot of thoughts, but let's keep this short and sweet! I bought this palette last year and it sat just to collect dust. I felt so uninspired with it at the time. The mixtures of blue threw me off even though I loved the palette shades indivually enough to buy the palette as a whole. So this ended up being a palette in the stack of unused for some time. I have tried other Ace Beaute palettes and I am one that actually really likes their formula. It's definitely not the best out there, in my opinion, but still an incredible indie brand with unique shades that have payoff. I love supporting them. I finally dipped into this palette last month and took off creating looks. I'm so much more inspired with it now that I'm kind of happy I waited, but it's so beautiful I'm mad I waited. Ha! Do you feel me on that? 

I have been inspired to mix shades I normally wouldn't tend to, to find out I love them paired. I'm a sucker for greens lately and this palette has the best ones with unique undertones. The mattes really pack a pigment. This is the issue a lot of people have with their palettes. They say they are pigmented, but super patchy and unblendable. I feel like it's the "ABH Subculture" fiasco all over again since I really don't mind it but others hate it. I agree they take longer to blend than some, but are gorgeous in the payoff. I actually prefer the mattes over the shimmers. The shimmers are beautiful when they finally help complete a look but they're not as buttery as some. A little bit more on the drier side. 

Although, I fill you in on all of this, they just recently threw a bomb out there of a reformulation on every single palette they offer. It's a bittersweet moment for me becuase for one, I already own a handful that I don't want to repurchase and two, I don't think their formula was that bad to get to the point of a reformulation. But I do hope it is a way for the brand itself to become more successful and win back anyone that lost interest after maybe not falling in love with the formulas. I don't plan to repurchase the ones I own, as they work fine for me, but I'll always have my eye on future launches from Ace.

I share this to show the shades, the looks, and the palette in general that I have been loving, but I have nothing to give to you about this new formulation besides them saying it is still extreme payoff that blends effortlessly. Do you own any Ace Beaute Palettes? Have you tried their new formula? Let me know! 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...
