BH Cosmetics Jenni Rivera Palette - Swatches + Review

Hey guys!!

Today's post is a review and of the BH Cosmetics Jenni Rivera Palette. I decided on this palette when I wanted to try BH Cosmetics because its a "unique" palette to BH, meaning that the exact copy isn't also on Coastal Scents and Sedona Lace (like the 88 eyeshadow palettes). None of the colors have specific names, so they will just be swatched in order as to how they appear in the palette.

Swatches of Blush Row

Overall, this palette is Okay. The pigmentation just isn't there for some of the colors. The matte shades and matte blushes especially are powdery and chalky. Some of the colors, on the other hand, are ridiculously pigmented and smooth and very nice! The bad isn't anything I can't work with, however. Some of the colors work better wet rather than dry (as demonstrated in the video below), but I think overall all these colors are useable and this palette is great for a quick look and to travel with. This palette is on sale now for 50% off, for that price, I think this palette is completely worth it! I got it for the reduced price, and I'm very happy with the product considering the price I paid! 

These are the looks I achieved with this palette. Can you tell that I love the green in this palette?

Check out my video below for a review and demo/tutorial showing how I got the second look above!

Pastel Eyes Palette from Forever 21 - Swatches + Review

Hey guys!

Today's post is about a palette I saw a little while ago at Forever 21, but I didn't wanna get it because I didn't think it would be that great. I looked up swatches and reviews and between all that and Emily from Beauty Broadcast saying it actually was pretty good, I decided to go pick it up... and I'm very glad I did! I love this palette! The best part? It was $6!! Yes, only SIX DOLLARS!

Pastel Eye Palette from Love and Beauty by Forever 21:

None of these colors have names, but they are gorgeous. They are all super pigmented and go on really smooth. This whole palette is shimmer supreme. There is no matte shades at all, but I love shimmer so its really okay! The only thing is that only half of this palette is "pastel" the other half is bold and bright. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I kinda wish there was a pastel minty green in here..... I'm just obsessed with mint greens! 

Below is a look I put together with this palette:

For this look, I used the first color in the palette, a creamy color in the inner corner, the copper color on the lid, the silver on the outer corner, and the teal smudged along the lower lashline. I really love how it turned out, and I really love this palette. Its going to be perfect for summer!!! I'm planning on going out and getting more stuff from Forever 21 to play with. I'll post it up when I do!

Jasmine Storylook Palette Tutorial

Hey guys!

I'm trying something new today. I was watching Beauty Broadcast Live this morning with emilynoel83 on YouTube and she was telling us about beautysets.com where you can make tutorials and lookbooks and things like that and it makes it really easy, so I decided to give it a shot and I made a tutorial that someone had asked me for weeks ago.

Beautysets.com was really fun and I really love how my tutorial turned out. Check it out!

Let me know if you guys like this and I will continue doing tutorials like this both for nails and makeup. This might be the easiest way to me to do picture tutorials and things like that when I don't have a ton of time to film and edit a video. I really love this!! Thanks Emily for turning me on to this website!

Check out Emily's Blog and Channel. She's fantastic and one of my favorite beauty bloggers!!!

Lorac Pro Palette - Swatches + Review

Howdy!!

Today on the blog I have swatches of the Lorac Pro palette and a mini review.

All the names in this palette describe the color perfectly, so I won't be doing a color breakdown like I usually do. That being said, on to the pictures!!

I love how sleek and pretty this palette looks. The only downside to the packaging is that it gets really dirty, really quickly because of the finish. Its kind of a satin-y kind of finish to the cardboard  and it attracts dust and shadow like no other!

I love that this palette has one row of shimmer and one row of matte. Makes for a huge variety of looks that can be created!

The Matte Shades

The Shimmer Shades

All these shadows are beautiful and smooth, almost creamy even the matte shades (which really impressed me!). They are gorgeous and so easy to blend and I gotta say, I'll probably reach for this more than my Naked 2 Palette! My favorites in this palette are Gold, Slate, Black, Mauve and Sable (which I use for my eyebrows) Overall, its a beautiful and fantastic palette to work with! So happy I broke down and got it.

This palette is $42 and can be found at Ulta, Sephora, or loraccosmetics.com

Urban Decay Theodora Palette Swatches and Review

Hey guys!

Another palette for Disney Week. Today I'll be featuring the Theodora Palette from Urban Decay

Broken - Creamy color with a minimal sheen. Gorgeous color for highlight
Beware - Matte milk chocolate color. Really smooth and easy to work with. Beautiful transition color!
Bewitch - Chocolate brown shimmer
West - Burnt plum/brown
Spell - Half Gold w/ gold glitter and half Dark brown with green glitter
Jealous - Dark Green and Light Green

Overall, I love this palette. This is a gorgeous palette for neutrals, but you can use the greens to add a pop of color. I love that the colors pop out of palette so the colors can be put in other palettes or they do fit in the Urban Decay make your own palette they sell. The formula is super buttery and smooth on these colors, even on the completely matte Beware. Great palette! I love this!
