Guys.......this palette......is by far the best palette so far for 2016. I'll be impressed if any other eyeshadow palette can top it. It's a nice velvet/suede feel packaging. Same size as most ABH palettes. It's simplicity of packaging is absolutely perfect. It's like when you finally got your hands on the first NAKED palette from Urban Decay, that feeling you had. Yea this is like that. I knew from the colors alone that I wanted this. When I got it though it was soooooo much more than what I expected and I have high expectations from ABH. This has 14 shades all together and a double ended brush. There are 11 matte shades and 3 shades that are shimmer. What immediately drew me to this palette was the shades Love Letter, Venetian Red, Red Ochre, and Realgar. Some awesome cranberry and orange-y shades. When I got the palette though I fell in love with Raw Sienna and Golden Ochre and Burnt Orange as well. 3 of the shades are available as single shades as of right now, which are: Burnt Orange, Buon Fresco, and Warm Taupe. Which are really neutral shades and not the most stand out shades. So all these really awesome reds, oranges, berry, and amber shades are not available to buy individually. From top to bottom we have: Tempera Raw Sienna Golden Ochre Burnt Orange Vermeer Primavera Buon Fresco Red Ochre Antique Bronze Venetian Red Love Letter Warm Taupe Cyprus Umber Realgar The formula is impreccable like always. These are so pigmented that when I applied Golden Ochre (matte) it covered Love Letter (also matte). So a light skin toned shade COVERED a dark berry shade. They are insane. They're so soft, pigmented (obviously), blendable, and keep their color as the day goes on. I can not begin to explain how much I love this palette. It's $42 which is fair especially for the packaging and quality of product. It's available now on the ABH website, but it will hit Sephora stores on June 15th. I'm not sure about Ulta. I would assume it would be the same. This was the first look I done with it. A completely messy matte eye and shimmery inner corner. I really smoked out the lower lash line super heavy too.
Obviously, my thoughts are: GET THIS. If you like warm smokey eyes and cranberry shades then you need this in your life. Trust me on that.

Summer has arrived. It's in full swing here in Tennessee. So naturally I'm sporting some colorful, down right neon looks to welcome it. Starting with the one above. Strawberry Lemonade (all Makeup Geek shadows): Crease: Tuscan Sun first and the Poppy Lid: white base, outer half is Fashion Addict taking it into the crease as well. Touching up the crease again with Poppy. Then Hologram Pigment on a flat stiff damp brush on the inner 2/3rds of the eye. Lower Lashline: With a pencil brush the outer half is Poppy first and then Fashion Addict. Then with an angled brush I'm using Fashion Addict to trace the bottom of my tear duct. Not connecting it with the lid. Then applying Hologram with the same angled brush only wet. Angled brush needs to be thin so that the pink doesn't go too far down and make you look sick. Lips: Bare With Me from Dose of Colors I'll leave a video for it here. This one I'm calling "Cantaloupe" All MUG shadows again Crease: Tuscan Sun and Chickadee Lid: Voltage over In The Spotlight. Americano on the outer V Then Light Year Sparkler applied with a glitter glue base. Liner: Ardency Inn Punker liquid liner Lower Lashline: Tuscan Sun and Voltage Link for the video is here. This one I like to call "Fruit Salad" for it's array of colors. It has more colors to it than the others. All Makeup Geek of course except the glitter. Crease: Tuscan Sun, Fashion Addict, Poppy Lid: Fortune Teller and Mai Tai. 24k Roseate glitter from Star Crushed Minerals. Lower Lashline: Poppy and Black Light on the inner half for the purple cast Lashes: Vamptress lashes from Violet Voss Video for this one is here. This look is more bold and intense. The lip option can easily change though. There is no video for this one. All the shadows are Makeup Geek as well. I call it "Blue Hawaiian Cocktail"
Crease: Dragon Fly and Sharkbait Lid: Dragon Fly on the inner corner, Chit Chat in the center, and Houdini on the outer lid Lower Lashline: Chit Chat on the inner part, Sharkbait on the outer part Lashes: Vamptress lashes from Violet Voss Lips: Climax Matte X lippie stix from Colour Pop. |
