$5 DUPE FOR STILA MAGNIFICENT METAL GLITTER & GLOW EYESHADOWS

-

One of my all-time favorite makeup products is Stila's Magnificent Metal Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow. I typically don't buy a lot of high end makeup but I knew that this was going to be a product I was going to love - and I do. However, the $24 price tag holds me back from purchasing more shades of this product.

Ever since I bought this Stila liquid eyeshadow last August, I have been on the hunt for a comparable dupe from the drugstore. I haven't found anything that works as well as this does...until now. 

I came across the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow one day at Ulta and after swatching it, I knew I had to try it. I bought the shade Goldie Lux, which looks more like a chartreuse than a true gold in the tube and when applied opaquely. However, I have found that by blending the product on the eyelid with your finger perfectly sheers out the greenish tint and transforms it into a gorgeous glittery gold.

It has almost the exact same formula as the Stila Magnificent Metals - both last all day long without any glitter fallout, creasing or fading.  I have tried other liquid eyeshadows with the same concept from other brands, but I found them all to chip and flake all over my face within just a few hours. 

Wet n Wild
Stila
 
I actually prefer the application process of the Wet n Wild product much more than the Stila one, too. Wet n Wild is in a much longer tube (almost like a lip gloss) with a longer handle that makes it easier to apply. Whereas the Stila liquid eyeshadow is in a much smaller tube with a shorter and square handle, which can sometimes be difficult to maneuver. The flat doe foot applicator is the exact same for both. 

There is a much wider color selection in the Stila collection, but if you can find a shade you like in the Wet n Wild collection, its definitely worth trying out. 

Comparable shades:

I did a full review on the Stila product last year and I definitely think it is worth the money and is a really amazing and innovative product. If you have been wanting to try out this out, but are looking to save some money, I highly recommend checking out the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow!

      Me too! Its a great product, but way too overpriced in my opinion. The Wet n Wild one is so much cheaper and basically the exact same quality as the Stila one! I hope you enjoy it! ♡

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
