FLOWER BEAUTY SHIMMER & STROBE HIGHLIGHTER PALETTE // REVIEW

-

Flower Beauty is my favorite makeup brand and I have loved all of the products I've tried from them! I recently bought the Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette - which I have loved using over the past few months!

This palette now comes in 2 shades - Champagne Shimmer and Sunkissed Shimmer. I have Champagne Shimmer, which I would say is most suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Sunkissed Shimmer is best suited for medium to deep skin tones. Each palette has 3 different highlighters, that I love to wear alone or mix together for a custom shade.

 I bought this from Ulta, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore on their website. However, it is still for sale at Walmart & Flower Beauty's website for $14. 

This palette includes a brush, which is great quality and perfect to apply highlighter! Flower Beauty usually includes a high quality brush with their palettes, which I love because they are very high quality, apply the product seamlessly, and hold up well after washing it multiple times.

All of these highlights have a multi-dimensional metallic finish. There is also small flecks of glitter in the formula, which in other products I've tried can sometimes look too chunky and cause a lot of fallout on the face throughout the day. These highlights are completely different - they apply so smoothly and last all day on the face without fading or causing any fallout. 

All three of the shades in this palette are distinctly different, unlike some highlighter palettes where all the shades look the same. That aspect makes the palette so versatile and can be paired with so many different makeup looks. 

 The first shade in the Champagne Shimmer palette is a light frosty champagne, which I love to wear alone and also mix together with the other two shades in the palette to lighten it up. 

The second shade in the palette is a frosty rose pink - which is definitely my favorite shade in the palette because I love pink-toned highlights. I also especially love the look of this shade mixed with the first champagne shade in the palette! 

The third shade is a light yellow gold. I have very fair skin, so gold-toned highlighters are usually too dark on me, but the one included in this palette is perfect for me. 

Overall, this is one of the amazing powder highlighter formulas I've ever used. It isn't powdery, doesn't accentuate any dryness/texture on my face, and it lasts all day. It can be layered up for an ultra reflective metallic look, or toned down for a light radiance. 

 Like I said earlier, I have loved all of the products I've tried from Flower Beauty, but this palette really stands out to me as a top product from the brand. I highly recommend it to anyone interested!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-
Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

fruitcake by Sabrina Carpenter // green vinyl + EP review

-
Image
Sabrina Carpenter 's  Fruitcake is equal parts naughty and nice - two traits that she has always embodied so well in her music. Every single song on this EP is so much fun to listen to, I absolutely love it. It has been so long since there was a really great original holiday album like this, I can truly see so many of these songs becoming annual Christmas classics.  This EP is full of glittering and cheeky holiday anthems that fit really well into the rest of Sabrina's discography. It is especially akin to emails i can't send and Short n' Sweet , which are her two best albums. So much of her personality and charm is all over this music much in the same way as those two albums. Fruitcake features six songs, five of them are original holiday tracks that she wrote with her frequent collaborators; John Ryan, Steph Jones, Amy Allen , and Julien Bunetta. The closing song on the EP is called "white xmas", a beautiful rendition of the holiday classic which also inte...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...
