Winter is my favorite season because I love being all bundled up! Whether that’s in my favorite sweater or in my favorite blanket, I’m all about being hugged up in some of my favorite things! However, my eyelids haven’t quite given up the dream of a colorful summer and they are having a hard time adjusting to the cold. So with that, I bring to you my pics for a much more colorful season than last year’s picks!
You guys reallllyyy loved my dupes for the Kylie Cosmetics Kyshadow ‘The Bronze Palette’ so I thought I’d bring you some more dupes for her new ‘The Burgundy Palette’! Burgundy is one of my favorite shades to wear on my eyes so I knew I had too many dupes to choose from! But the dupes I selected are a little more tailored for brown skin and can be purchased from Looxi Beauty and Makeup Geek Cosmetics! Happy dupe hunting!
Have you ever seen the ’80’s classic film Flashdance? I’m sorry, that’s a stupid question. How many times have you seen the ’80’s classic film Flashdance? That’s a much better question! Sola Look recently collaborated with Paramount Pictures to bring the movie to life over 30 years after its release in the form of an eyeshadow palette. If that wasn’t reason enough to run to Sola Look’s site right now, they also collaborated with the person behind the most envied lips on Instagram, DepecheGurl, on a namesake liquid lipstick. Mind going into overload yet? No? Ok, great then you can keep reading for my review of both products!
If there was one indie brand that really burst onto the scene this year, I’d have to say it was Juvia’s Place. Their three eyeshadow palettes have been blazing through the internet – from blogger reviews to traditional media taking notice – these palettes have been everywhere! Now that I’ve finally got my hands on one (thanks to my bestie JLat), I’ve got the whole scoop on The Nubian 2 palette. Keep reading to find out this one is now the love of my life!
Oh Viseart, how I love thee! Seriously you guys. If I could purchase all of the palettes from this spectacular brand, I would. They have all the pigmentation a gal could dream for! Back to the review at hand – Viseart recently launched a highlight and sculpting palette that has everything you need to snatch your cheekbones! I grabbed it at The Makeup Show Dallas and I’ve been crushing ever since.
What happens when you get a new highlighter? You want to bathe your face in it, duh! And that’s exactly what I did when I received Looxi Beauty’s new pressed highlighter in ‘Rebel Rose’. I brushed it all over my face and loved every moment of it! Keep reading for more product pictures and swatches!

They are giving us ALL the shimmer, ALL the drama, ALL the gorgeousness without ALL the high prices! Check out all of this fall newness from one of my favorite brands. Your eyelids will thank me later!
This past weekend I attended The Makeup Show Dallas at the Hyatt Regency Downtown! I was blessed to be able to attend the press / blogger preview and receive a bangin’ goodie bag full of pro makeup artist James Vincent’s favorite products. If you are interested in seeing what I was gifted (+ what I purchased), keep reading!
Oh fall how I love thee! I’m big into the changing leaves, pumpkin spice candles (and drinks!), holiday planning, and transition into vampy makeup! This fall, I’ll be leaning heavily towards cool toned seasonal looks vs. last’s year’s heavy emphasis on gold from me. If you are interested in my must have shadow singles, keep reading below! Alternatively, if you are more of a palette gal, I’ve got just the thing for you. Either way, I’ve got you covered!
I was positively giddy when I saw the first sneak peek at the lip colors in the new ColourPop Cosmetics fall collection! All super rich blood reds in every single formula they have! I completely disregarded the fact that each of the five shades I purchased are the same color and I have NO REGRETS! I was also able to snag two non-burgundy shades and I’m excited to share all the goodness I just got in the mail! Rumor has it that this isn’t the entire collection, so stay tuned for part deux …
