☆★WET N WILD ZODIAC COLLECTION: REVIEW☆★

-



Today I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on a few products I tried from the new Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection. Enjoy!

MegaGlo Loose Highlighting Powder // $6.99



Out of the entire zodiac collection, this is the product I was first drawn to. I never tried a loose highlighter before, but I actually really like it more than I thought I would.  The product can get very messy if you aren't careful, but it's worth the extra precautions for the shine it gives. If you prefer to have a natural glow, this highlight probably isn't for you since it has such an icy finish with a strong champagne reflect. It also has visible flecks of glitter in it, which I personally love. I don't wet my brush either - it gives such a strong glittery metallic finish right away. 

I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush, which is my all-time favorite for highlighting. It picks up the perfect amount of the product and works great to blend out cream, liquid, powder, and now also loose powder formulas. 

The detailing of the packaging is so beautiful and well thought out, as well. The outside cap has the astrological wheel with all 12 zodiac symbols on it. The inside sifters are shaped like stars, which is also such a cute touch that really sets it apart from any other highlighter I've seen.

Color Icon Lip Gloss // $2.99 each





There are 12 different lip glosses in this zodiac collection - one for each sign. I bought my 3 favorite shades; Leo, Virgo, and Pisces. 

Leo is my star sign, so obviously I was immediately drawn to buying that one. It's a sheer tangerine shade with subtle orange, gold and silver sparkles. It's unlike any other lip gloss I've ever seen and is perfect for the summertime.

The shade Virgo looks like it would be a lot different in the tube, but it's actually very wearable and not as intimidating as you might initially think. It looks like it would be a dark brownish grey with blue glitter, but it's actually a sheer wash of color on the lips. Out of the 3 I tried, this is the most opaque in pigmentation, but isn't as pigmented as some others I've tried before from other brands. This shade also looks so beautiful layered on top of a darker lipstick. I already know I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of this in the fall and winter when I tend to gravitate more to darker lipsticks!

The shade Pisces is an iridescent pink with blue reflect. Although I mentioned before that this is a sheer formula, this is the most see-through out of the 3. I think it looks so beautiful worn alone or as a lip topper to completely transform the lipstick you have on underneath. If you love the iridescent makeup trend as much as I do, then you need to try this gloss!

All of the shades I bought have a glitter finish. They do feel slightly gritty on the lips which I don't personally mind, but that's a personal preference. If you're looking for a glitter-based gloss that isn't gritty - I would recommend trying the Flower Beauty Galaxy Glaze instead.

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...
