ColourPop clay it cool Pressed Powder Palette Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a smoky-ish, terracotta look. I think this look would be really pretty for someone with blue or green eyes; or for the fall season. 

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
I  applied the YSL Crème de Blush Cream Blush in 5 Fuchsia Temptation as a base for Hourglass Blush in Mood Flush with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied Motif using my AOA Studio A+: F30 Precise Highlight Brush.
As a base for my eyeshadow I applied Knead U and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush. 
For the crease I applied Figurine along with Kiln It with the wet n wild Crease Brush and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 

For the lid I applied Motif wet with the wet n wild Rose Addiction Photo Focus 3-in-1 Primer Water using my Crown Pro C510 brush.
To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Colourpop Lux and Motif using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.
For eyeliner I applied the AOA Artista Black Fine Tip Liquid Eyeliner with a nice cat eye; I also applied Urban Decay 24/7 Junkie Glide-On Eye Pencil to the waterline.
For the lower lash line, I applied Body Talk using my Bubbi Detail brush.
The look sans falsies is something I forgot to photograph. 
For lashes I used AOA Studio A+ 3D Glam Premium Faux Mink Lashes in Jeju along with the AOA Studio A+ Super Strip Lash Adhesive.
Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together!

ColourPop clay it cool Pressed Powder Palette Review

 Today I bring to you the ColourPop clay it cool Pressed Powder Palette.

AvailabilityThis is exclusive to colourpop.com where it retails at $16 for 10 eyeshadows. 
Would I buy this again? I think I would.
NotesOk y'all I haven't really bought many palettes this year and caved when I saw this - I have been testing out a lot of colorful eyeshadows this year, as I'm sure you've seen from my posts and missed wearing neutrals. So when I saw this palette on Lauren's channel I thought it was beautiful and wanted to pick one up for myself.
High Fire is described as a matte creamy peach, I'd say this is a matte, warm, peachy nude.
Motif is described as a metallic golden peach, I'd say this is a metallic pink champagne with a silver pearl and silver-white micro-glitter. 
Earth Bae is described as a metallic golden terracotta, I'd say this is a  metallic reddish amber with an amber gold pearl. 
Mud Pot is described as a metallic red terracotta, I'd say this is a metallic reddish amber with an intense reddish copper pearl. 
Biscuit is described as a metallic warm bronze, I'd say this is a metallic reddish bronze.
Knead U is described as a peachy nude, I'd agree with their description color-wise. This is a cream, not a powder, shadow and I'm lowkey annoyed that this isn't really mentioned anywhere. I think it's probably meant to act as a base for the rest of the eyeshadows but given that it's a cream I'm concerned about it drying out over time.
Body Talk is described as a matte warm peach, I'd say this is a matte, warm, peachy pink. 

Figurine is described as a matte pinky terracotta, I'd agree with their description. 
Kiln It is described as a matte brownish terracotta, I'd say this is a matte, warm, reddish, milk chocolate. 
Aphrodite is described as a matte deep red brown, I'd say this is a matte, reddish burgundy brown.

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

DisclaimerI bought this myself.

ColourPop Not a Box of Chocolates Pressed Powder Palette Look

Hey folks! Today I bring you a smoky, golden look. I really love to do this type of look both on myself and on others during the holidays because I think it's really flattering. Obviously, if you wanted this to be more on the festive side I would recommend pairing it with a red lipstick but I think my berry lip here makes it lean a bit vampy. This type of look honestly lends itself to most lip colors well so by all means, experiment and see what you like.

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
