Review: E.l.f. Beautybook Smoky Eye Edition

Hello Ladies! I am back with a review on the ELF Beautybook Smoky eye edition. Now I already have this palette from last year which has more neutral colors and this year it is filled with greys, blues, and purples. I got it on clearance in Target a couple of weeks ago and just decided to use it tonight... hate when that happens. I paid $3.48 but originally it was $5. You can also buy these palettes online at eyeslipsface.com

Swatches are not the greatest, sorry.

I am totally in love with the middle colors which happen to be purples. The deepest shade really caught my eye it is a plum with goldish shimmer. It did not show up very well in the swatch but I totally love it. I think the grey/black colors on the bottom row are the same as last years palette except that the black is matte this time instead of having shimmer which I love! I am not really too excited to play around the blues really. I honestly think that blue eye shadow can come off as trashy, no offense to those of you that love it I honestly just don't love it.

This palette also comes with a double sponge applicator and a mini eye liner. I use the sponge tip to create the look below as long as the eye liner which is very very hard and not really that fabulous, but might work well as an eyeliner to throw into your purse for touch ups.

I used the purples and made this quick look while watching Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. I am totally in love with these shows. Hopefully you ladies enjoyed this look!

what do you guys think of this palette?

enjoy =)

Review: Coastal Scents 88 Metal Mania Palette

I had heard a million good things about this company and their products. So after watching and reading many reviews I decided to check them out for myself. I liked this palette best because it contains less of the crazy rainbow colors, sorry girls but I dont do rainbow eye shadow. =]

I was so excited to get my palette in the mail ( shipped within a week) Also, this palette is an amazing deal coming in just shy of $25; now some of you may be thinking thats alot of money but when you really think about it if you buy just 1 eyeshadow at the drugstore it can be anywhere from $2 to $10. So getting 88 shadows for $25 is an amazing deal if you ask me!! The eyeshadows are small about the size of a dime but there are just so many to choose from.The shadows are very pigmented and are the same color as they appear. I use an eyeshadow primer/base everytime I wear eyeshadow and with that these shadows do last all day. They blend incridibly well.

I am into the earthy toned shadows and cool colors, this is the perfect palette for that with greens, browns, darker greys, purples, oranges, gold, pinks and mauves. Now there are some brigher shadows but if you use them with a light hand they are wearable.

I have owned this palette for over 3 months and I am very satisfied. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start makeup or already has tons of makeup but wants something to take along with them on vacations. I love that I am able to take this palette in my suitcase and I have all the colors I need to make smokey or neutral eye looks.

If you have tried this leave a comment below and let me know that you think!!!

Enjoy =]
