The Smouldering Eye Palette by Ciate London and Olivia Palermo: Swatches, Photos, and Quick Review




I purchased this product during the VIB Rouge Sale and I absolutely love it; So,I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet with a simple pros and cons list!

PROS

  • The shadows are very pigmented and smooth- you can tell they are very good quality.
  • The palette's packaging is very nice, durable and sophisticated.
  • It is a great travel size palette. 
  • There are many different versatile shades with different finishes. You have the warm reds and browns and cool blues and greys. You also have satins, mattes, and shimmers all in one small portable palette. I LOVE IT!!!

CONS

  • Price is a bit steep at $39
  • It doesn't come with any kind of brush. I like it when my palettes come with brushes so I dont have to remember to pack one.
  • It can be hard to open; but, that can also be a good thing because you don't one it coming open in your bag.

Swatches

I took one photo with the flash to show how pretty and shimmery some of the eyeshadows are. 
The photo in natural light is more true to their color.

Get Ready With Me: School + Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Demo

Hi! 
I made another Youtube video! My second one to be exact lol 
Its just a Get Ready With Me video. I filmed it before going to school one day. In my last video I didn't actually speak but, in this one I did. I was kind of nervous about uploading it because I really don't like my voice. But, I feel like everyone hates their own voice to some extent lol (thats how I make myself feel better)

Its a neutral smokey eye with winged eyeliner and a bright pink lip. I really liked how this turned out. Its a good everyday look. It can be casual or fancy, in my opinion. 

Here  some photos of the finished makeup & If you want to see how I achieved this makeup, feel free to watch the video. I had a lot of fun making it, so I hope yall like it! :)

Also, in the video, I use the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation which I did a full first impression of here. :)

My First Youtube Video!

Hellooo! 
Recently I celebrated my 21st birthday and as a gift to myself, I got myself a super nice camera! One of the first things I did when I got it was film myself doing my makeup! Makeup videos and "Get Ready With Me" videos are some of my favorites to watch, so I thought I would film my own GRWM. It is a neutral eye and a red lip. Obviously, I'm very new to filming and editing videos, so this is nothing too fancy! Its just me doing my makeup. lol I really enjoyed making this video, so I will probably make some more in the future. Until then, I hope yall enjoy this one! All of the products I use are listed in the upper left hand corner as I use them. Thanks for reading & watching! <3 Also, if you enjoyed the video, feel free to give it a thumbs up and subscribe in case I ever post more videos! :)

Also, I didn't realize till after I uploaded the video that I misspelled the word neutral in the intro. lol I know how to spell. That really bugged the heck out of me so I felt the need to address it . haha :)
