Viseart Dark Matte Eyeshadow Palette | Review

Oh how I've been coveting this palette. The Viseart Dark Matte Palette has been the target of my admiration for a few months now but it was only until recently that I was able to pull the trigger on making it a part of my collection. Considering the fact that the Viseart eyeshadow palettes are $80 I wanted to make sure that this would be a purchase I could actually see myself getting a decent amount of use out of for at least a few months (I have a slight case of makeup ADD when it comes to eyeshadows.) When it came down to it this palette really ticked all of the boxes for me - it's matte and has a pretty decent amount of warm toned color options. These factors basically made it done and done for me since warm and matte are kind of my MO. 

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows 1 - Nudes | Review

If I could use one brand on myself and my clients for the rest of my life it would be Make Up For Ever. Everything that Dany Sanz creates is pure heaven in my eyes. So with that gushing sentiment being said I have been more than excited about the brand's recent launches. I love her shadows so having nine of them in a little compact palette is just ideal. I do have to say I was a little skeptical at first since the palette has no matte shades but, after trying out the palette I have no qualms about the matter. 

L'Oreal La Palette Nude 1 & La Palette Nude 2 | Review

[Left to Right; La Palette Nude 1 and La Palette Nude 2]

Ladies and gents the drugstores are finally making big waves in the palette department. I've heard a lot of hype around L'Oreal's La Palette Nude 1 and La Palette Nude 2 and I finally had a chance to pick them up this weekend. They are basically the result of a long awaited cry to the makeup gods for there to be a pocket friendly alternative to the cult loved Urban Decay Naked palettes. Each palette containing 10 warm (La Palette Nude 1) or cool (La Palette Nude 2) shades perfect for creating both day and night looks for virtually any occasion. 

Jaclyn Hill Favorites - Morphe Brushes Eyeshadow Palette | Review

My lovely Jaclyn Hill Favorites eyeshadow palette finally came in the other day and I was super excited to play with it! As I am sure you most of you know Morphe Brushes collaborated with Jaclyn Hill to put together a palette of all of her favorite Morphe shadows. The palette launched for pre-order on January 1st at 12 am PST/ 3 am EST and before the palette even launched the site crashed making it almost impossible to order the palette or anything else on the site for about an entire day. Personally, it took me about 3 hours to order this thing and I would have given up and abandoned the idea of getting it if I hadn't committed so much time to the matter (apparently there was a hacker issue so I really can't be mad at Morphe for it.) It was frustrating at the time but when something is as hyped the way that this palette was you should expect at least some degree of difficulty getting it. The Jaclyn Hill Favorites palette sold out in two days but, it will be restocked in February. 

Sephora Pantone Color of the Year: Marsala | Eyeshadow Palette Review

So it is finally the beginning of a new year and Sephora and Pantone have launched its new color of the year for 2015. Although they have taken quite a bold approach to color in the past this year they have taken a more neutral approach and honestly I couldn't be any happier. This year's color is Marsala, they consider it a bold nude shade but, basically its a gradation of neutral brick red tones. I think this is an amazing color that has the ability to look gorgeous on all skin tones. I know that red-ish colors in eyeshadows can be intimidating because they have the ability to make you look sick or that you have an infection but if done right with the right tones it is actually gorgeous and one of my favorite shadow colors. 

Make Up For Ever Cinema Flash Palete | Review

The Make Up For Ever Cinema Flash Palette comes with 12 neutral flash colors that are super creamy, light, and opaque. These shades work well on their own or with each other to make a multitude of gorgeous colors. This palette has the same general concept as the original flash palette but this one is a little bit more user friendly because the colors allow you to need less of an understanding of color theory to use it and it requires less color mixing.

Lorac Pocket Pro Palette

Hello, Loves! I love mini versions of just about everything they are just so cute! I'm a total sucker for them so when I saw that my favorite palette, the Lorac Pro, had a mini version I knew I had to have it. It's a neutral smokey eye trio derived from three of the colors from the original Lorac Pro with the same smooth feel and rich pigmentation. You receive Nude (shimmer), Pewter (shimmer), and Espresso (matte). If you have the original palette you're already aware of how well these shadows work. The mattes is rich and opaque and the shimmers can really make your eyes pop.
