Highlighter Review: wet n wild Megaglo Royal Calyx Highlighting Powder

BEHOLD the wet n wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Royal Calyx
AvailabilityThis is available at walmart.com and retails at $5.99 (although it's currently on sale for $3.89) on wetnwildbeauty.com
Would I buy this again? Not sure.
Notes I would say this is a lilac with a blue pearl and silvery white micro-glitter. It's a rather unique  and pretty color for a highlight!
This feels a tad bit scratchy in the pan when swatched and requires a bit of layering to reach full opacity.

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

Highlighter Review: wet n wild Megaglo Botanic Dream Highlighting Powder

BEHOLD the wet n wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Botanic Dream
AvailabilityThis appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Not sure.
Notes I would say this is soft pink base with a silvery blue pearl throughout. This is a rather pretty color and I can see it working as a highlighter and potentially as a blush or blush topper on me. It has a really smooth, buttery texture.

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

Lipstick Review: peripera Luxury Bag with Pink Touch Pang

So my wife and I had a tea date set up and she just sprung these on me like "hey wifey I got you gifts" and I'm like :') omg what even... how nice... how special.
Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Hell yeah.
Luxury Bag with Pink is described as a sexy fuchsia pink.  I agree with the fuchsia part, although I think this kind of color is more fun, bubbly, and girly versus "sexy" - that's where reds and vampy colors come in... maybe nudes. Alas... this is designed with a thinner tip so you can use it all over the lips as I did or do the trendy Korean popsicle ombre with the color in the center of the mouth and fading out to your natural lip tone as you go out... not my personal favorite but to each their own. Or you can ombre several shades of these together.  This glides on really smoothly with a satin finish. It is unscented.

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

The SAEM BE01 - Gold Fizz Eco Soul Glam Eyes Review

Hello folksickles, today I will be reviewing the The SAEM Eco Soul Glam Eyes Eyeshadow in BE01- Gold Fizz

AvailabilityIt appears that these have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Possibly
NotesTati put up a video of a K-beauty at the drugstore haul and when I saw these and how glittery and beautiful they were I NEEDED THEM. I got the last of these at yesstyle.com when I was putting in another order because free shipping, why not? Lol.
BE-01 Gold Fizz - I'd describe this as a warm, amber-y gold tone with gold and silver micro-glitter along with an amber pearl. This is so pretty and totally up my alley as I prefer golds that are more amber versus more yellow-toned. I'm so excited to put this to use.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

DisclaimerI paid for this myself.

ColourPop Eyeshadow Review: Party Favors and Cakewalk

Ok you folks, ColourPop was having some sort of sale on these pressed shadows for $4 instead of $5 and since I was ordering stuff anyhow, I figured I'd give these a try.
AvailabilityThese have both been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? I think so.
NotesSo far so good, these perform like a nice powder shadow - they're pigmented and are easy to blend.
Party Favors is described as a vibrant duochrome peach with a gold flip. I'd say it's pretty close to its description, the base is a very warm, orange peach with an intense golden pearl running through it. 
Cakewalk is described as a duochrome lavender with a turquoise flip. Although it's a pain in the butt to photograph this color is mermaid magic and is very true to its description. I love it so much; it's so unique. 

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

Highlighter Review: ColourPop Flexitarian Super Shock Cheek

BEHOLD the ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Flexitarian
AvailabilityThis retails at $8 for 4.2g (.15 oz) and is currently exclusive to just colourpop.com. 
Would I buy this again? Perhaps.
NotesThis color is described as an intense white champagne. I would describe this as a champagne base with loads of silver micro-glitter, it's super shiny compared to the other Super Shock Cheek products I own. The texture is so weird... it feels squishy and foam-like. I kind of dig it. It's very smooth creamy, and silky which makes it super easy to apply and blend. It has a lovely high-shine finish to it that I dig from my highlighters. Just as a pointer in using this, I think it works best over, rather than under, setting powder. You could wear it either way but if you want that beautiful glow, put it on top.

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

The SAEM CR01 - Jack Rose, PK01 - Peach Rum, OR01 - Orange Parrot, and BL01 - Blue Lagoon Eco Soul Glam Eyes Review

Hello folksickles, today I will be reviewing the The SAEM Eco Soul Glam Eyes Eyeshadows in CR01 - Jack Rose, PK01 - Peach Rum, OR01 - Orange Parrot, and BL01 - Blue Lagoon

AvailabilityThese appear to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Possibly.
NotesTati put up a video of a K-beauty at the drugstore haul and when I saw these and how glittery and beautiful they were I NEEDED THEM. So when me and my bud ended up in Chinatown I asked if we could go to the SAEM store and she was down with it so we went, it was great.
PK-01 - Peach Rum - I'd describe this as a warm pink base with gold and silver-white micro-glitter.
CR-01 - Jack Rose -  is actually fairly similar to Peach Rum, the base is a warm pink, warmer than Peach Rum and contains slightly larger gold and silver-white particles.
OR01 - Orange Parrot - I'd describe this as a coppery base with gold and white-silver glitter.
BL01 - Blue Lagoon - I'd describe this as a cool-toned sky blue with silver micro-shimmer.
