Naked 3!!!!!!!!!

So after a day from H-E double hockey sticks, I came home to my NAKED 3 palette!!!  See my full video unboxing here : Naked3 Unboxing!!

 First of all, the packaging of this was just precious! Very girly, but also very sophisticated as well. But the best part, is not the packaging, but the colors:

 These are the first four colors and the last color in the four swatches shown here in order, 'limit" is a beautiful matte rosy neutral shade that adds an entire new dimension to your brow highlight as I have discovered!! Just beautiful!

The next four: 

 These shades contain the two shades that I went on about in the video. "Buzz" and "Trick" ( the first two swatches) are two of the most beautiful shimmer shades that I have seen!! "Nooner" is another really wonderful matte shade that is perfect for blending. and the final swatch in the above picture is that of "Liar".. I cant even... its just beautiful!

Ans the final four shades: 

 Now my most favorite color in this group of four would have to be "Blackheart". The swatch and semi-blurry picture (sorry) do NOT even do it justice. It is like this smoky deep brown color with specs of red sparkles and it just.. I think I am in love!

So that is it, this is my full  first impression of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and I have to say, I LOVE it!!! #gogetyousome  Thanks for reading!!!

Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette!!

So here is my review of the Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette! I purchased this palette during the Sephora VIB 20% off sale because at a price point of $59.00, I just couldn't justify the price. See my full video review here!

This palette comes beautifully packaged which is part of the luxury of it. 

The colors are all neutral and suitable for everyday. The first shade in the palette is a matte highlight shade: 

 It is perfect for highlighting because there isn't any shimmer to make you look slightly overdone. 

Next is a matte light brown that is perfect for an all over lid color : 

Moving on, we have a very deep matte brown that blends perfectly in the crease: 

Now this shade is the one that I was talking about that has an obscene amount of glitter and glitter fallout: 

Even around the color, you can see the glitter/fallout. 😫

Next to that, we have the MOST unique pink iridescent highlight that I have ever seen: 

The tiny blue flecks make this shadow beautiful in person. 

Second to last we have a light brown shimmer shade that is perfect for an all over lid color: 

And finally we have this midtone brown shimmer color that I also use over the entire lid. 

Here is a picture of all the swatches in the palette: 

As I stated in the video, I love this palette and think that the shadows are wonderful, HOWEVER the shades are very universal so you don't necessarily have to shell out $60.00 to achieve the looks this palette can produce. But, it is an amazing palette 😊! Thanks for reading!!!

Tarte Bow n Go set!

So, apparently I cannot stop buying Tarte gift sets. Now when I saw this set being reviewed on some other YouTube channels, I KNEW it was something I needed in my life. Buy Tarte Bow n Go set here on QVC!

Three boxes come in this set and would be a perfect gift for either one person or multiple people. The first box contains 4 full size lip surgence pencils. 

 The first color in this set is called "precious": 

This is a very pale, cool toned pink which I know I am going to have to mix with some other colors to get the perfect shade for my skin but experimenting is part of the fun!!

The next color is "wonder": 

This is a deeper pink and more suited to my skin tone. 

Next we have, "thoughtful": 

This is a lovely pinky, berry type shade that looks just beautiful!

And finally we have, "promise" 

This color is more my speed and one that I know I am going to get a lot of use out of. 

Next in the second box I have 2 smolder eyes Amazonian Clay smolder eyes pencils, and two of Tarte's lights, camera, lashes. 

Of the two eye pencils, one is a brown color and the other is a plum color. 

Brown liner

 Plum liner. 

And finally, the palette! 

This palette  comes with 16 colors that seem to be pigmented fairly nicely, some are nicer than others. 

Here are a few if the more pigmented shades. 

Overall, for the price, ( available right now on QVC for 59.98) you cannot beat the value of what you are getting!! So the end verdict is #GGYS !!

Kat Von D Spellbinding Lipstick Set!

So, long time no see!!! Sorry I have been super busy lately with my daughters birthday and recovering from the Sephora VIB sale. Lol! So I picked up this little item and thought this would be a great gift idea and I wanted to share it with you! This is the Kat Von D Spellbining lip set!

This set comes with 12 baby lipsticks from a wide range of colors with AMAZING PIGMENTATION!!!! 

Here are the swatches: 

This is an ideal gift because it covers so many colors that whomever the receiver is, they will surely like at least one  color whether it be a red, nude, pink or purple, this set has it ALL!

The finish of these is somewhat matte but unlike traditional matte colors, they are really moisturising!!! I suggest if you can, you get this for yourself or a fellow makeup lover! Thanks soo much for reading!!!!

Tarte of Giving!

So, I have been doing a bit of shopping!! If you have seen my latest video, I did a haul for the Sephora VIB 20% off sale that just ended and one item in particular stood out to me and SCREAMED "gift" so I wanted to share it with you. See full video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU1uykZ_PEY That of course is the Tarte gift of giving set:

So this set is AMAZING! It comes with five deluxe samples:

 A marajuca oil, tarte lip and cheek stain in "flush", a mini lights , camera, lashes, an eye brightner, and a blush!! The blush color is absolutely beautiful! 

 Now in the zipper portion of this case in the bottom comes a beautiful set of Tarte's Amazon Clay eyeshadows: 

 I swatched a few of these colors in store and they were beautiful! 

 Now I cannot attest to anything except the color payoff here being great, but I HAVE used Tarte's Amazon Clay blushes and I have to say they DID last all day and I can only hope that the eyeshadows act in the same way. 

 

 These are just beautiful! 

And the final item in the case are the lip glosses! 

 There are eight glosses in total and so far I am loving them!! 

So my overall take on this gift set is that for $59.00, it is a bargain!! I believe Tarte is coming out with a few palettes this season but none of the ones that I have seen so far have not  been this complete with offering lip products, a palette, deluxe samples of their best sellers, and blushes all in one. Get your Tarte Gift of Giving set here! Thanks for reading!

Favorite Fall/Winter Eyeshadow Palettes!

So, I have a few Palettes that I love for the cooler Fall and Winter months ( See full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzzBJfi6Bv4 )
 and so in no particular order, here they are:

1. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette:

 This Palette is perfect for the everyday neutral matte eye and I have found myself having to put it away purposely because I want to use some of my other shades and would use this one everyday if I did not make a conscious effort not to. These colors, like most of Urban Decay colors, have some fallout, but they are also buttery, easy to apply, and pigmented as all get out! Get this palette here on Amazon: Buy Urban Decay Naked Basics here!

2. Lorac Pro Palette:

 This Palette is versatile in that the colors can be adjusted to any season but I love the rich dark shades it gives for fall and have created some of the most simple looks with this palette that look as if it took more effort than it did. Buy Lorac Pro Here from Amazon!

3. Lorac Pro to Go Palette: 

This is a perfect palette for travel but not just that, it is an amazing array of velvety, buttery shadows, blushes and highlights that allow you to create an entire face of contours and beautiful eye looks all in one place. Buy Lorac Pro to Go at Amazon here!

In the video, I mentioned that this Palette and my next palette bore an uncanny resemblance to each other... hmmmm... could they be cousin palettes...That palette is of course my 

4. Elf Bronze Look Palette: 

 I cannot say enough good things about this palette. The colors are pigmented and it is very inexpensive and a wonderful array of colors. Buy Elf Bronze Palette here at Iherb.com

Now the resemblance of this palette to the Lorac pro to go palette is..  

 Here is a picture of the two palettes side by side... you be the judge.

5. Nude Tude Palette by the Balm: 

 This is quite an old palette but look at the packaging! The layout alone is why I purchased this product, unfortunately, I am a sucker for cute packaging. HOWEVER, the pigmentation of these shadows is amazing. Most of the colors in this entire palette are shimmer but because they are all somewhat earth toned shades, I can get away with wearing this to the office without looking too garish. Buy Nude Tude Palette here!  And last but not least: 

6. Elf 144 colors Neutral Palette: 

 Elf eye shadows in general are AMAZING for the price, but what I love most about this palette is its versatility. There are so many different colors in this that you can create hundreds of looks, and if this is the only palette you have in your collection, it would be perfect. Get this ELF palette here!
