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 derived. The c

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

1989 by Taylor Swift // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
1989 is the album that truly changed everything. Not only is it pure pop perfection, but it also served as a reintroduction of Taylor Swift that fully solidified her as the superstar we all know her as today. At the time she was making this album, she was 24 years old, cut off her hair and moved to  New York City  in search of a new look, a new life, a new soundtrack, and a new beat that she (and it turns out the rest of us) would be dancing to forevermore.  Anyone that knows me knows how much I adore  1989 , it has always been one of the most important albums for me, made up of sixteen songs that I have listened to probably more times than any other in my life. I could go on and on (and I will) about how much I love every single song from  1989 . I have found endless inspiration in it at every stage of my life throughout the past nine years, whether it is through the lyrics, visual aesthetics or the messages of this music. I was fifteen when it was first released and now that I'

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo // Album Review

-
Image
GUTS  is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Olivia Rodrigo , following up her massively successful debut album, SOUR , in 2021 . To have the level of success she has had right out the gate with her first-ever single "driver's license" in early 2021 is so rare and she quickly became one of the most notable pop artists to debut this decade so far. There are a lot of songs that I have come to really enjoy on this album, some of which are among my favorites of the entire year so far. When comparing  GUTS   to  SOUR ,  they are alike in a lot of ways, both sonically and aesthetically. In my opinion,  GUTS  builds upon the foundation she and her producer/co-writer, Dan Nigro, set in place with  SOUR  really well. Olivia is in such an interesting and unique position as an artist right now. The closest, or most recent, comparison I have to it is where Billie Eilish was at with her career a few years ago after her debut album . Both her and Olivia went from being virtu

Room 93 by Halsey // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
Room 93 is the 2014 debut EP by Halsey , a collection of five songs written through the lens of a young woman who left it all behind to chase a dream far bigger than herself, all while trying to make sense of the world around her.  In an interview with  All Things Go Music  in 2014, Halsey described the concept of  Room 93  being inspired by her time living in a hotel room for the year spent making the EP. "I've formed romantic relationships and business relationships and friendships out of hotel rooms. What's weird about them is it’s like a stage setting, a fake place. It’s not a real environment," she said. "The EP is a narrative about how in a hotel room, because of the forced intimacy, you can either really be yourself for a bit or you can really be someone you're not. So it's about human relationships under the scope of that lab rat mentality, or security cam mentality." Certain visual themes shine through in this music; it's almost as if yo
