Morphe and influencer Ashley Strong recently released their second collaboration (I think?) and this is a multi-piece collection. I picked up the eyeshadow palette because this screams fall tones and as the self-proclaimed queen of jewel monochromatics – this was a must have. You can grab yours on the Morphe website or at Ulta Beauty for $22!
SCREAMING REAL HOT GIRL SH*T!
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way and established this is a safe space for ALL hotties, I’m so excited to bring you a review of Megan Thee Stallion’s makeup collaboration with Revlon! I definitely screamed when I opened this PR package so shout out Revlon for making ya girl’s LIFE by send me these gorgeous products to play with. My package included mascaras, eyeliners, an eyeshadow palete. I was especially stoked to get into this eye pallet because I’ve had the opportunity to explore some of Revlon’s eyeshadow formulas in their Summer Soundoff collection and was super impressed. Well I was not let down by the Big Bad Palette this go round.
As the weather starts to warm in the United States I hope all of you (vaxxed) hotties are ready for a hot girl summer!

To celebrate, they also had four awesome ladies including Megan Thee Stallion and Ashley Graham make Spotify playlists that will have you pre-gaming CORRECTLY.

I was particularly drawn toward the ‘Nude’ collection which featured mostly dark brown shades. I loved the fact that these deep tones were called ‘Nude’, because, let’s face it, that never happens! Huge kudos to Nyma and the DOC team for holding it down for the brown girls who are getting major feels from the naming right now.
ColourPop Cosmetics recently released a warm brown tone color collection named “Wild Child” and ya girl was dying over the lip colors so I went ahead purchased the eye palette, deepest blush and all three of the lippie stix which are melanted to the gawds, honey!

I stan black beauty influencers who use their newfound platforms for good and I am truly happy to support Patricia Bright.
Christmas came early for me this year! Coastal Scents sent me a box of goodies to play with this holiday season and I’ve dived right in! My favorites of the bunch include all six of the Revealed eyeshadow palettes and I’m going to be showing them off to you today!
I’ve had these palettes for a few weeks and I’ve been able to put them through the paces. I invited a few friends over to help me play around with all six pans because that is A LOT of eyeshadow and I needed some help. The quality is fantastic! Previously, I’ve only used their single eyeshadow pans so I wasn’t so sure about their full palettes, but some of the satin shades were especially stellar. I was also really impressed by the glitter shimmers. They were fairly bright, with very little fallout and they didn’t get everywhere as I was trying to apply them my lid. However, they weren’t as bright as some of the other glitter shadows I have. But a quick way around this is to add a bit of loose pigment on top of your eyeshadow to really make it pop. This way, you’ve got a great palette, and you only need to supplement it a little with little bit of pop! I did that on my look with the Revealed Smokey palette that you can read all about here.
Without further ado, let’s jump into details about the individual palettes with swatches!

It’s been dreary and raining a lot the past month in Austin and the sky has been a spectrum of gray for what seems like forever. Inspiration crept into my head after seeing the grays float overhead.
When Coastal Scents sent me a box of goodies to try out that included their Revealed Smokey eye palette, I knew exactly what I was going for first. This palette has some intense shades perfect for the winter months. It includes a range of mauves, golds, blues, purples, and – of course – grays.

Auntie Jackie made sure Hot Girl Summer continued through fall and winter with her new eyeshadow palette collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH). Love it when another brown girl gets those coins!
This palette leaked on Sephora Canada’s website last week about two days ahead of the scheduled release date. That surely caused a lot of stress for the creators, but the world ate the news up! We’ve been waiting! I went ahead and scooped this palette from the ABH website ahead of the Sephora release on August 15th because I needed it in my hands immediately. And I’m absolutely thrilled to share my first impressions with you of this gorgeous 14-pan eyeshadow palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills and beauty influencer Jackie Aina.
Summer is right around the corner and that means VACAY SZSN is in full effect! A recent slew of new products from BH Cosmetics has me feeling some kind of ready for a change in scenery.
