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!


Beautysets - ONI Tutorials

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!

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!

Cinderella Storylook Palette - Swatches and Review!

Hey everyone!!

To continue the theme of Disney Week to celebrate the release of Disney Parks Beautifully Disney makeup line, here is swatches and a review of the Cinderella Storylook Palette by Sephora! (Check out swatches of the volume 2 Jasmine Palette Here)


Such gorgeous packaging!!


My favorite thing... it comes out completely!



Maiden is a metallicy magenta
All Aglow is a light copper
Destined is one of my favorites from this palette. Its a gorgeous light blue with a strong golden shimmer.... almost a duochrome


Cinderelly (I can't help but singing this song when I see this name). This is the only color in this palette thats kind of disappointing. Its a really beautiful seafoam green matte, but it isn't spectacularly pigmented. It works well to try to build up, but it isn't pigmented at all from the get go
Pumpkin Coach is a really pretty creamy matte color with some glitter

Ballgown is a pretty shimmery white
Kill Joy metallic dark silver
Fairy Godmother Satin-type finish periwinkle blue
Glass Slipper Shimmery baby blue
Royal matte royal blue

This is my favorite row of shadows
GusGus Metallic gold
Charming  Metallic creamy color. Best highlight and inner corner color for me in this palette.
Chateau Metallic medium brown
Palace Metallic nude - nice lid color
Drizella Bronze. This is definitely one of my favorites in this palette. Great lid color for me!



Cinders This is a gorgeous black with gold glitter
Jaq Metallic taupe.
Midnight Blackened blue with light blue glitter
A Wish matte highlight off-white color
Rococo Shimmery burgundy

Not the best picture, but I used Charming in the inner corner and browbone, Palace all over the lid, and Rococo in the outer V and crease

Overall I love this (and the Jasmine) palette. The colors are so gorgeous! This palette is really good for neutrals, smoky, and metallic neutrals whereas the Jasmine palette is more colorful. 

Staying Power:
I wore the Jasmine Palette yesterday and had my eye look on for a good 16 hours, and when I got home, my look was still intact despite work in the morning and a long day at Disneyland which included seeing World of Color from the front and getting soaked. I did wear it over a Color Tattoo, but even with that other shadows rub of, but these shadows stayed strong. I'm loving the staying power of these palettes!!!

Jasmine Storylook Palette - Review and Swatches


Today I have swatches of the Jasmine Storylook Palette from Sephora.

I'm a Disney nerd so I had to have this pallete, and I gotta say I love it more than the Cinderella one (as far as the colors). I will have swatches of Cinderella in a few days to continue with Disney week theme.

So, without anymore delay on to the pictures!

My Haul from Sephora :)

The Palette! Its so gorgeous!

The Makeup. BEAUTIFUL colors!



Blue Oasis is a almost matte baby blue with just a tiny, tiny hint of shimmer.
Trust Me is a beautiful metallic magenta
Abu is a taupey metallicy brown
Ali Ababwa (Its there, I promise!) Is a matte skin tone neutral color
Sultana is a neutral metallic with a pink undertone

Friend Like Me is a metallic blue.
Master Gorgeous purple!
Cosmic is my favorite from this palette, its a perfect rose gold metallic.
Cave of Wonders is a pretty yellow... don't know when I will ever use this though!
Sand in the Glass is a pretty shimmery creme color (its a cream color not white like the swatch)

Lapis- Matte turquoise (LOVE!)
Mystical Wonder (I know its spelled wrong... oops!) Is a more blue toned purple than master with some glitter in there
Rajah is a shimmery orange
Arabian Sunset. Coral with gold glitter. Its so pretty and I'm sure I'll use this a lot to brighten up the crease/transition area
Bazaar is a medium brown with a hint of sheen to it



Thrilling Chase. WOAH this bad boy is pigmented. A little bit will go a really long way for blush with this. Its a beautiful dusty rose with gold shimmer/fine glitter
Golden Sands. This is the "bronzer" of the palette. I would never use this as a bronzer. Its way too shimmery. I will probably use this as an eyeshadow, but I don't *think* it will work as a bronzer to me. I will have to try it before I absolutely knock it, but I don't think it will look good.


This is the eye look I got using this palette. I used Sand in the Glass in the tear duct area, Cosmic on the lid, Blue Oasis a little bit in the crease, and Friend Like Me in the Outer V/Crease area. I'm very happy with how this look turned out!!

I absolutely LOVE this palette and the Cinderella palette. I'm so happy I bought this. I will get so much use out of these colors and the blush. The packaging is the cutest ever and its Disney. It basically can do no wrong. Besides it being cute, the colors are so pigmented. The only one that's a little 'meh' is Blue Oasis... it swatched weird, but it works pretty well over a base
I hope you enjoyed this post! I will have a video up soon about this palette and my haul :)
