Clionadh Cosmetics Light Scatters Multichromatic Palette Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a soft, colorful look.

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush in Orange Fougueux as a base for  The blush from the Reinarebelde Adorada On Your Face Contour + Color Trio with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Perilune as a base for the highlight from the Reinarebelde Adorada On Your Face Contour + Color Trio using my CHIQUE PRO Highlight Brush.
As a base for my eyeshadow I applied NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush. 
For the crease I applied the shimmering golden brown from the NARS Mojave Palette along with LS #9 with the Sonia Kashuk Essential Blending Crease Brush No. 273 and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 
For the lid I applied LS #4 with my Crown Pro C510 Brush that I wet with Le Mieux Iso-Rose Hydrating Mist.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Lorac Buff and LS #2 (over NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil) using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For eyeliner I applied the Maybelline New York Tattoo Studio Ink Pen Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black and winged it out; I also applied OCC Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Pool Boy to the waterline.
For the lower lash line, I applied the shimmering rose from the NARS Mojave Palette using my Bubbi Detail brush.

The look sans falsies. 
For lashes I used CALA 3D Faux Mink 35151 Multi-Dimensional Lashes along with the Duo Brush On Striplash Adhesive in Clear.
Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Clionadh Cosmetics Light Scatters Multichromatic Palette Review

 Today I bring to you the  Clionadh Cosmetics Light Scatters Multichromatic Palette.

AvailabilityThis palette currently retails at $67.14 and is available at clionadhcosmetics.com.
Would I buy this? I weep for how pricey this is but the quality is beautiful!
NotesMy bestie so generously purchased this palette for me and I've been wanting to try Clionadh for ages, so I was excited to finally have my hands on something. This palette is just absolutely beautiful and I'm so grateful to have it. I do have to say that due to the shiny, multichromatic nature of these eyeshadows, they're difficult to photograph, so I apologize if some of my photos are somewhat blurry. Also please note my descriptions are written given my current lighting conditions, the shadows might shift and be different under different lighting giving their multichrome nature. Photos were taken near a window using natural light.
LS #1 is described as a multidimensional iridescent shadow with a red-orange-yellow shift interspersed with silver and aqua sparkles, I'd say it's an off-white base with a white gold-pinkish red shift with silver and greenish-teal micro-glitter. 
LS #2 is described as a sparkling yellow shadow with an intense blue shift, I'd say it's a yellow base with an intense violet pearl shift. 
LS #3 is described as a hot orange-peach-yellow shimmering metallic multichrome, I'd say it's a bronze base with a reddish pink and gold shift. 
LS #4 is described as a violet-pink-peach-yellow shifting holographic shadow, I'd say it's a lilac base with a magenta pearl and holographic multi-glitter
LS #5 is described as a muted green base and fine shimmer that shifts from blue-violet-pink-yellow, I'd say it's a cornflower blue base with a shimmer that's also a cornflower but shifts kind of silvery lilac with cornflower and pink micro-glitter. 
LS #6 is described as a plum pink multichrome that shifts from a bright yellow/gold-lime-aqua, I'd say it's a soft plummy pink base with an intense greenish gold pearl. 
LS #7 is described as a bright green-aqua-purple shifting multichrome with a soft tan brown base and a touch of fine particle holographic shimmer, I'd say it's a cool-toned green brown base with a forest green pearl. 
LS #8 is described as a saturated leaf green base an orange-yellow-lime shifting shimmer, I'd say it's a chartreuse base with a green-gold-pinkish red shift. 
LS #9 is described as a pink-peach-yellow-lime shifting multichrome with a denim blue base, I'd say it's a cool-toned plum base with a magenta-fuchsia shift. It can appear somewhat greenish depending on the lighting conditions. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

January 2026 Arrivals

Ok folks! I'm back to replenishing on things that I'm running out of and buying mostly just necessities.

1. CVS Calcium & Wheat Protein Ultra-Strength Nail Strengthener: I feel like since recovering from gel polish that my nails could use a little TLC so I decided to see if a nail strengthener wouldn't be able to help fix the issue of my peeling nails.

2. one+other Original Nail Polish Remover Sponge: It was time to remove my dip nail polish remover for my collection because it was getting gross and the brush pieces in it all broke apart. I decided to go for the original formula versus the 100% acetone this time in hopes that it would be gentler on my nails that are unfortunately still recovering from gel nail polish. 

3. Clionadh Cosmetics Light Scatters Multichromatic Palette: My bestie was in town and surprised me with this beautiful palette! I feel so grateful and am so excited to play with it!

Disclaimer: I purchased all the items listed above myself with the exception of the Clionadh palette which was a gift from my bestie. All opinions are my own.

Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Morphe - The Jaclyn Hill Palette

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to de-clutter a bit  I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag. Although I know I just reviewed this palette, I bought it at the very end of June and have been using it throughout the month of July as my palette-of-the-month.

A tutorial I did using the palette can be found here. Here are the looks I did using the palette:


























So as you can see I created a bunch of colorful and neutral looks using this palette. I have been using the Decide Now! app and playing "Palette Roulette" as inspired by xsparkage and it's been so much fun and takes the guesswork out of figuring out which colors to use every day. I just roll 5 shades and work with them for the most part - sometimes I'll add a blending shade or highlight as necessary. Friends, as much as I know I have these colors in other palettes... this palette right here is staying as part of my collection!!! I absolutely LOVED wearing it - the colors are all beautifully pigmented, they go on smooth and buttery, they blend gorgeously with one another - the palette is super versatile (I'm sure you can see that) - allowing you to create looks for any occasion. I definitely think it's a worthwhile purchase. 2026 update: Frankly, I do have to say that I am not a fan of either Jaclyn Hill or Morphe because both have done sketchy things. But, the quality of this palette is just top notch and I absolutely love playing with it. At this point it may be something of a guilty pleasure because I already own it. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
