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! Revlon sent me their new ‘Summer Soundoff’ collection with a ton of goodies inspired by hits from the past and present. 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. Pull them up while you read this post, it will definitely change the experience!

Makeup Revolution was kind enough to send me their entire collaboration collection with Patricia Bright that came out last year. I was literally about to pass out when I opened it and saw the collab logo on all the packaging so firstly, thank you very much for making this review possible! 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.
Spring has almost sprung and that means it’s time for new seasonal collection releases! We’ve seen a few announcements from Looxi Beauty, ColourPop, and now Anastasia Beverly Hills. I initially planned to hold off on purchasing the Anastasia Riviera palette ($45.00), but my car somehow drove to Ulta yesterday against my will and dropped me right at the entrance. I ain’t mad at it! And while I was there, I *had* to go ahead and pick it up right!? So today, I’m thrilled to bring you my first impressions of the Riviera palette in this post.

For a person like me, with 937429201 eyeshadow palettes, it takes A LOT for a new product to catch the eye. ‘Through My Eyes’ DID THAT with a shade range that can take you from neutral to night or daytime to darkness. I love the color combinations and bookmarked it to purchase on release. After a month of wear I can confidently dish the good and the bad on this beauty.
