peripera 10 Be Lovely Wholly Deep Jewel Pot Review

Ok but after Tati used and raved about these on her channel I had to go out and get them.

Availability: These have been discontinued.

Would I buy this again? I think I would.
Notes: Alright, so texture-wise all of this is really soft, creamy, cream-to-powder type product.

Tese contain amethyst and diamond powder which make them crazy sparkling and they're supposed to be long-lasting. I'd describe this color as a warm pink base with loads of golden and pink shimmer particles. It can read very coral-like and is kind of mermaid magic to me because it can be an eyeshadow, a blush, a highlight, a center-of-the-lips glowing thing. I dig it.

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

What is the texture like?

This has a very liquidy texture that dries to a soft, easy-to-peel-off film.

Is it scented?

This smells a bit like a pina colada or a tropical fruit cocktail... I ain't mad at it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

I don't know how to explain what this product does for my skin because normally a product that uses the word "firm" doesn't have a difference on my skin at all and that's because my skin doesn't particularly suffer a loss of elasticity. However, it feels more firm when I remove this mask in a way that's not harsh. I guess I associate the word "firm" with the word "tight" like... if you pull in your stomach muscles and feel that tightening sensation, that's what I think of as "firming" and this just... kind of makes my face feel less puffy like... a de-bloat of the face. I dig it. The film is super easy to remove (but please peel it off, don't try rinsing it off that's a pain in the butt and ends up taking a long time to remove) and doesn't hurt or peel of layers of skin when it comes off which I appreciate, super gentle. My skin is left feeling super soft and glowing. I dig this stuff.

Sugarpill Kim Chi Eyeshadow Review

As a Sugarpill and Drag Race addict I clearly needed this in my life (no one is surprised, even less so at the color.)

Availability: Theis retails at $13 for 3.5g (.12 oz) at sugarpill.com.

Would I buy this again? I think I would.
Notes: Alright, so texture-wise this is really soft, creamy, and has a lot of pigment payoff.

This is described as a intensely saturated electric teal with a silky smooth matte finish. I'd have to say this is pretty true to its description. It almost has a pastel-ish touch to it. It's such a fun color and I'm excited to play with it. 

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

L'oreal Paris Liquid Diamond Infallible Eyeshadow Review

Today I'll be reviewing the L'oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow in Liquid Diamond

Availability: Due to this being a drugstore item its price and availability will vary, you receive 3.5 g (0.12 oz) of product per pan and it averages around $7-8, at least from what I'm seeing on Google.
Would I buy this? Possibly.

Notes: These have been catching my eye at the drugstore for years now and I could never decide on a shade but I was getting stuff and kind of forced myself to pick one up to try, this looked really unique so I figured, ok, this one. I would describe the color of this as a taupe-y lavender tone with LOADS of golden sparkle to it. It is so beautiful. I'm not sure why but I've been super into metallic neutrals lately and this doesn't disappoint.

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

MAKE UP FOR EVER 940 Star Powder Review

Today I'll be reviewing MAKE UP FOR EVER Star Powder in 940
Alright so ever since I was given samples of these I had to have more. Moar! I am so in love with the star powders, they're absolutely gorgeous.

Availability: This has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again? I wanna say yes.
Notes: This has a pearl finish.

940 - is described as a white with orange highlights. I think calling this orange is just a disservice to the complexity of the shade. The base is an off-white with a duochrome/pearl that can be pink, gold, and/or orange and any combination when the light hits it just right. It's so unique and stunning I had to get my hands on it.

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

ColourPop Eyeshadow Review: Fantasy

Ok you folks, ColourPop was having a little site-wide sale and I thought it was a good time to pick up some new goodies to play with.

Availability: These has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again? I can't say for sure yet.
Notes: These have the oddest texture, they're squishy, soft and gelatinous but dry to a powdery finish.

Fantasy is described as a electric neon red violet topped with multi-dimensional glitter. I would describe this color as a magenta base LOADED with violet, fuchsia, gold, and silver glitter of varying sizes. It is just so summery and screams party time. I think for the daring among us this would work beautifully as a blush or even a lip color. 

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

Disclaimer: I paid for these myself.

L'oreal Paris Pain Au Chocolate Colour Riche Eyeshadow Review

Today I'll be reviewing the L'oreal Paris Colour Riche Eyeshadow in Pain Au Chocolate.

I apologize for the not-so-pretty appearance of my eyeshadow, it broke and I re-pressed it. Clearly I didn't do the most aesthetically pleasing job of it.

Availability: Due to this being a drugstore item its price and availability will vary, you receive 3.5 g (0.12 oz) of product per pan and it averages around $5-7, at least from what I'm seeing on Google.
Would I buy this? Possibly.

Notes: Alright let's laugh for a hot second, according to ulta.com these are the "first shadow with infused gel technology" um... untrue. The MAKE UP FOR EVER re-launch of their entire shadow collection is completely gel based and that happened last year. That said, these keep catching my eye at the drugstore so I figured I'd pick up at least one to play with. I would describe the color of this as a slightly pinkish metallic taupe with an intense white pearl. Its texture is incredibly smooth and silky; it blends absolutely beautifully and has a gorgeous metallic sparkle to it. I think it's actually really beautiful and I'm pretty impressed with its quality and wear, not gonna lie. I would definitely be game to try out more of these.

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