ABOUT FACE MATTE FLUID EYE PAINT // ALL EYES ON HUE DUO REVIEW

-

The Matte Fluid Eye Paints were inspired by Halsey's love for painting, made with the intention of the user expressing themselves artistically and experimenting with the product. I also love having the ability to mix the shades together to create custom colors. The All Eyes On Hue duo features the shades "Capulets" and "On Pointe", both of which are full sized products. It's a great way to try with more than one shade at a discounted price. 

About Face is a makeup brand founded by Halsey, which is marketed as "multi-dimensional makeup for everyone, for everywhere, for every way" and all products are vegan, clean and cruelty-free. Celebrity makeup brands are so common now, but About Face has always stood out to me for their unique approach to beauty and self-expression. Halsey has also been one of my favorite artists for years, so I was excited to see her create a brand that feels like such a natural extension of her own distinctive artistic style that shines through in every aspect of About Face. There is such an emphasis on empowerment and experimentation, so there are many products and colorful shades that are so unique to About Face that I haven't seen from other brands before. 

The All Eyes On Hue duo is sold exclusively at Ulta for $25, but the two shades are also sold individually for $16 each. There are nearly 30 other shades available, it covers the entire rainbow and then some. This particular set does work best for fair skin tones, but there is something for everyone in their full range which I have always loved about the brand. There are so many different uses for these, all over the lid as eyeshadow, graphic eyeliner, or even all over the face as a liquid blush or contour. As I always do, I prime with the Milani Eyeshadow Primer, which ensures it lasts all day without fading or creasing, but it is still long-wearing even without the primer. It works well when paired with powder eyeshadow on top too. 

It works similarly to a matte powder eyeshadow but there may be a slight learning curve with it at first. I just apply one swipe and usually just use my finger to blend it in. A fluffy synthetic brush also works really well to blend it too. A little bit goes a long way with this product because it is so pigmented. It fully dries in about 30 seconds, so you have to work somewhat quickly with the product before it stays-put for the rest of the day. 

My favorite shade of the duo is "Capulets", which is a soft brown. It is one of the most popular shades in their line, one that I have been wanting to try since it launched. It is the perfect shade for me as a one and done eyeshadow, just apply a few swipes to the lid and blend it out with my finger. It looks so simple and flattering for everyday wear. "Capulets" reminds me of one of my old favorite Colourpop Super Shock Shadows in the shade "Brady", which has been discontinued for years and I have been looking for something that would be comparable ever since. If you are wanting to try a shade of the Matte Fluid Eye Paints and aren't necessarily daring enough to try one of the colorful shades, I definitely recommend "Capulets".
 
"On Pointe" is a ballet slipper pink. I have very fair skin and no matter how many different ways I tried, this shade is just too light to use on it's own. It is white-based, which makes it difficult to use without looking washed out and patchy. However, it works well when mixed with "Capulets" or even mixed in with a liquid blush (Glossier Cloud Paint is my favorite). It also works as a graphic eyeliner, but that isn't really a look that I tend to go for often. 

I love the Matte Fluid Eye Paints for how versatile they are and all of the ways you can experiment with them. I recommend this set if you have been wanting to try these two particular shades, but as I said, they have so many other options available at Ulta and on the About Face website that may suit your personal preferences better. 

I have tried most of the products from About Face range and have truly loved it all. Everything in the eyes, lips, and face categories are so innovative and high quality. Since I started my blog in 2017, my content used to be mainly beauty focused, which is a topic I have always been passionate about. However, over the past couple of years I have shifted the focus in my writing to more music-related topics since I haven't been buying makeup as much since the pandemic started. With that being said, whenever I am looking for new products to try these days, About Face is a brand I always gravitate toward first. Since their launch, I have been so inspired by their aesthetic and brand mission, which I especially hope shines through in the photos I took for these products featured throughout this review!

Thanks for reading! I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below! I have many reviews of About Face products already up here & more coming soon so be sure to check them out!

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 ...

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...

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...
