With the holiday season in full swing, it’s only right to say that jewel tones are dominating my eyelids right now.

Round Up: Looxi Beauty Shimmer Eyeshadows 2016
Looxi Beauty opened its virtual doors less than two years ago and in that time, I’ve racked up a crazy amount of Looxi products.

I’ve done a roundup swatchfest in the past for the brand, but I figured it was about time to redo my swatches. What better time to do it than right before their blowout Cyber Monday sale!

Winter is my favorite season because I love being all bundled up! Whether that’s in my favorite sweater or in my favorite blanket, I’m all about being hugged up in some of my favorite things!

Review: Sola Look Flashdance Eyeshadow Palette and DepecheGurl Liquid Lipstick
Have you ever seen the ’80’s classic film Flashdance? I’m sorry, that’s a stupid question. How many times have you seen the ’80’s classic film Flashdance? That’s a much better question! Sola Look recently collaborated with Paramount Pictures to bring the movie to life over 30 years after its release in the form of an eyeshadow palette. If that wasn’t reason enough to run to Sola Look’s site right now, they also collaborated with the person behind the most envied lips on Instagram, DepecheGurl, on a namesake liquid lipstick. Mind going into overload yet? No? Ok, great then you can keep reading for my review of both products!
Review: Juvia’s Place The Nubian 2 Eyeshadow Palette
If there was one indie brand that really burst onto the scene this year, I’d have to say it was Juvia’s Place. Their three eyeshadow palettes have been blazing through the internet – from blogger reviews to traditional media taking notice – these palettes have been everywhere! Now that I’ve finally got my hands on one (thanks to my bestie JLat), I’ve got the whole scoop on The Nubian 2 palette. Keep reading to find out this one is now the love of my life!
I’ve been playing with this palette way more than I’d like to admit over the weekend! In fact, I love it so much that for my lunch break today, I used it to do my eyes instead of eating. I gave up food for this palette! That is TRUE love.
Review: Viseart Highlight and Sculpt Palette
Oh Viseart, how I love thee! Seriously you guys. If I could purchase all of the palettes from this spectacular brand, I would. They have all the pigmentation a gal could dream for! Back to the review at hand – Viseart recently launched a highlight and sculpting palette that has everything you need to snatch your cheekbones! I grabbed it at The Makeup Show Dallas and I’ve been crushing ever since.

This past weekend I attended The Makeup Show Dallas at the Hyatt Regency Downtown!

If you are interested in seeing what I was gifted (+ what I purchased), keep reading!
Viseart, Kevyn Aucoin, Inglot … oh my!
I have been waiting MONTHS for The Makeup Show to come to Texas! One of the first things I looked up when I moved to Texas was the beauty conference schedule – no lie! That’s one of the benefits of this new state compared to Georgia which had very few non-industry events. I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to attend events like The Makeup Show that are so close to home.
