Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: ColourPop Orange You Glad? Pressed Powder 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. 

ColourPop Orange You Glad? Pressed Powder Palette

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:

So as you can see I created some soft, yet colorful looks with this palette. When I was doing looks with this palette it felt like a really good transitional palette from summer into fall due to it being rather heavy on the golden oranges, which I would say are kind of summery - and the reddish oranges, which I would say feel autumnal. Obviously I'll wear any color at any time of year but with all the pumpkin spice things slowly making their way into stores I felt like it was a very appropriate palette for this time of year. I really enjoyed the looks I came up with. The quality is great here - everything is well-pigmented, applies smoothly, and blends easily. 

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

Sunscreen Review: TONYMOLY Intense Care Gold 24K Snail Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++

Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for TONYMOLY Intense Care Gold 24K Snail Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++.

Availability: This retails anywhere between $17 - $20 for a 50ml tube and is available at stylevana.com and yesstyle.com. I purchased this on flip.shop where it retails at $21 but if you have reward money on there you can use it toward your purchase so that's what I did. 

Would I buy this again?: Probably not. 

What is this product designed to address?

According to yesstyle.com: 

Boasting the moisturizing benefits of snail mucin and 100ppb of 24K gold dust to promote skin elasticity, this sun cream is also fortified with SPF50+ PA++++ to protect skin from harmful UV rays.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Snail Secretion Filtrate: Has tissue repairing, cell renewing, and hydrating properties. 

Niacinamide: Has anti-inflammatory and pore-minimizing properties.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: Has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, hydrating, soothing, and itch-reducing properties.

Centella Asiatica Extract: Has anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, antioxidant, antibacterial, and hydrating properties.

Beta-Glucan: Helps lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss.

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water: Helps to plump and smooth the look of skin.

imperata Cylindrica Root Extract: Helps promote collagen synthesis.

Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract: Has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Gold: Has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; gives the skin a glow.

Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil: Has antibacterial, antifungal, and astringent properties.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil: Helps unclog pores and balance sebum production

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil: Has anti-inflammatory properties.

Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil: Has astringent properties.

Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil: Has anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil: Has anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as a lightweight cream. 

Is it scented?

This has a citrusy scent with something green that, in my personal opinion, clashes with the citrus. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:
Honestly while I like the texture of this when I rub it on my hand, this feels thick and a bit matte on my face. I don't love the texture or the scent of it so despite its nice mix of anti-inflammatory ingredients I just don't see myself purchasing this again. 

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

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:

So as you can see I created some soft, yet colorful looks with this palette. I feel like after these last few palettes that I've used, it's a nice change of pace to use such a soft-hued palette where, while it's still colorful, the looks are soft, wearable, and brighten my eyes up. I never have to worry that this palette is "too much" with the exception of the glitter - which I don't think is "too much" but given its lack of eye safety and general chunkiness - I stuck to using it as a cheek highlight. The quality is great here - everything is well-pigmented, applies smoothly, and blends easily.
