Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Kimchi_Chic x Ketnipz Rainbow Sharts 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 declutter 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. 

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 all sorts of colorful and neutral looks with these shadows. I personally have found that these shadows are easy to blend and the pigmentation on them is fantastic. All of them work really great in my experience. I love the variety of colors that are included and how they pair with one another such that you can create brighter, more colorful looks, or stick to something more soft and neutral. I also love how there are shades in here that can be used as both blushes and highlighters as well as eyeshadow. 

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

Disclaimer: I purchased this palette myself.

ColourPop Gimme Sugar Pressed Powder Palette Look

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

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush in Orange Fougueux as a base for Gummy Bears with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5, respectively. I also applied ColourPop Super Shock Shadow in Good Boy as a base for Whipped Cream using my AOA studio F19  Highlighter brush.

As a base for my eyeshadow I applied NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush. 
For the crease I applied Sour Candy along with Gummy Bears with the Sonia Kashuk Essential Blending Crease Brush No. 273 and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 
For the lid I applied Blackberry Bliss wet using Milani Make It Last Original Natural Finish Setting Spray with my Elizabeth Mott All Over Eyeshadow brush.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Colourpop Lux and Whipped Cream using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For the lower lash line, I applied Gummy Bears using my Bubbi Detail brush.
The look sans falsies. 
For lashes I used Clean Beauty Smoke & Mirrors 6 Pairs of Reusable Lashes with Lash Glue (fourth pair from top) along with the Duo Brush On Striplash Adhesive.
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.
