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.
This is first Huda Beauty purchase (gasps!). I know I am LATE to the party, but I absolutely could not ignore the primary color eyeshadow palettes that launched the second half of 2018. With color palettes based on precious stones, they are perfect for monochromatic eyeshadow lovers like me! During the Semi-Annual VIB sale last November I picked up the Emerald Obsession palette that screams MONEY lounder than Cardi B.

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? No, I think Karity feels the same way!
Karity just released a 21-pan eyeshadow palette that will have you wishing we were heading into summer instead of winter. In contrast to my other Karity palette, Nudes and Rudes, this one is full of warm shades. There is a mix of mattes and shimmers and you know I was all over it!
ColourPop Cosmetics is launching their Holiday 2018 collection November 15, 2018 at 10am PST at www.colourpop.com.
You guyyyyysss! I died when this showed up at my door.I was BLESSED to be able to preview this collection early – and I didn’t just drool over it by myself, I invited a few friends over to help me dig into this humongous , 47-piece collection.
Summer in Texas means HOT! I’m sure there are a ton of benefits of outdoor summertime living here, but I have not experienced them as I try to stay inside as much as possible during June to September. But if I’m going out to brave the heat, I need to look fly doing it.
Enter Looxi Beauty ‘Summer Sinner’ eyeshadow collection that has got me in absolute SHAMBLES.Continue Reading
After the trauma Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) fans experienced with the Subculture formula fiasco, many were hesitant to purchase their next palette release, Prism. Me? I’m a die-hard ABH palette lover so Prism went right into my Sephora cart the day it released!
Something about the shade selection of this palette made me immediately perk up. The shades are so much more vibrant than other more muted palettes and the diversity of colors made me forget all about the woes of Subculture. I was willing to take the risk and purchase the palette – and I wasn’t disappointed when it arrived.Continue Reading

It’s Valentine’s Day debut is sure to position it as the go-to palette for spring.Continue Reading
End of January means it’s time to really focus on the year ahead instead of the year past. What better way to do that than plan for spring? Especially when that planning involves making important eyeshadow purchases to match all the gorgeous blooming flowers!
Looxi Beauty is making is super easy this year with what MIGHT be my favorite overall Looxi collection of all time. I’ve been racking my brain all evening to try and think of another collection I loved more as a whole and I’m really struggling! The original Auroras, maybe? But I still think this wins.Continue Reading
The second I heard Raye Boyce (@itsmyrayeraye) was launching a collection with BH Cosmetics, my ears perked up. BH’s last major collaboration with vlogger Carli Bybel was a HUGE success and I was immediately curious as to how they would top the quality and affordability of both Carli’s projects. I didn’t have to wonder long as Raye’s collection dropped right before the Thanksgiving holiday. I was set on supporting Raye so I ordered immediately and sat at my doorstep like a sad puppy until it came. Boy, was I in for a treat!
I’ll focus this post on my impressions of the palette as I have not yet washed (or tried) the brush set. I like to wash all new brushes before I use them because ain’t nobody know where those brush bristles have been! All I will say is they FELT amazing as I lightly brushed each one across my arm to check the softness and density. I have high hopes!
To kick off my new year, I adopted the most adorable grandpa of a dog this past week, 8-year old Charlie. He’s an Australian Cattle Dog mix … I think. Growing up, I had cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit – everything EXCEPT a dog. I begged for a dog and my dad kept saying “some day”.
Now, at 26-years old I stopped saying “some day” and marched myself down to the Williamson County shelter here in Austin and brought home this big ole’ blob.
Because of my new sweetie pie, I’m going to try being more aware of makeup brand’s stance on animal testing. I’m going to begin supporting more cruelty-free brands because they support keeping animals like Charlie out of testing labs. With that said, I’m very excited to share a review with you of a new-to-me cosmetics brand Karity. All Karity products are Peta-certified CRUELTY FREE (*happy dance*) and 100% vegan. Karity kindly sent me their 21 Nudes and Rudes Eyeshadow palette and their E31 Tapered Blending Brush ($5!!!!!) to review and I’m here to say I’m about that #KarityLife.Continue Reading
