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 derived. The c

Billie Eilish live in New York City! // HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: The Tour Madison Square Garden Night 2

-

Seeing Billie Eilish perform live for the first time on the second night of her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour in New York City was such an unforgettable experience! I have been lucky enough to have seen so many of my favorite artists live over the years, but this was truly the greatest show I have ever been to. Billie is a once in a lifetime talent and it was so surreal to get to see her on this incredible tour.  Hearing Billie's music for the first time in 2017, right when her first EP  don't smile at me  was released, was one of the most formative musical experiences of my life. All of her music has come to mean so much to me during that time and has been such a massive source of inspiration for me throughout those past seven years. She is truly the voice of our generation, and it is such an honor to be able to witness her talents in person for the first time. She has the most gorgeous live vocals and is such a captivating performer. The entire setlist was so perfect, in addi

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a

Four by One Direction // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? One Direction 's fourth album, aptly titled Four , marked significant beginnings and ends for the band. In many ways it marked a new era for all five of them, as they were able to have significantly more creative freedom with the overall creation of these songs. In turn, that elevated the band's sound to something much closer to their own personal influences and life experiences.  It is the best album they made as a band, between the release of  Midnight Memories  in 2013 and  Four  in 2014, they showed such a huge leap in personal growth and were fully solidified as some of the greatest pop stars of all time. There was no one bigger than One Direction at that point in time, they fully dominated music for the five short years they were together and continue to make a lasting impact on the industry. There was nothing like it before and there will never be anything like it again. Four features quite a few of the best

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

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
