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! However, my eyelids haven’t quite given up the dream of a colorful summer and they are having a hard time adjusting to the cold. So with that, I bring to you my pics for a much more colorful season than last year’s picks!
You guys reallllyyy loved my dupes for the Kylie Cosmetics Kyshadow ‘The Bronze Palette’ so I thought I’d bring you some more dupes for her new ‘The Burgundy Palette’! Burgundy is one of my favorite shades to wear on my eyes so I knew I had too many dupes to choose from! But the dupes I selected are a little more tailored for brown skin and can be purchased from Looxi Beauty and Makeup Geek Cosmetics! Happy dupe hunting!
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!
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!

Oh fall how I love thee! I’m big into the changing leaves, pumpkin spice candles (and drinks!), holiday planning, and transition into vampy makeup! This fall, I’ll be leaning heavily towards cool toned seasonal looks vs. last’s year’s heavy emphasis on gold from me. If you are interested in my must have shadow singles, keep reading below! Alternatively, if you are more of a palette gal, I’ve got just the thing for you. Either way, I’ve got you covered!
I was positively giddy when I saw the first sneak peek at the lip colors in the new ColourPop Cosmetics fall collection! All super rich blood reds in every single formula they have! I completely disregarded the fact that each of the five shades I purchased are the same color and I have NO REGRETS! I was also able to snag two non-burgundy shades and I’m excited to share all the goodness I just got in the mail! Rumor has it that this isn’t the entire collection, so stay tuned for part deux …

You may or may not have an opinion about the Kardashian / Jenner clan, but that girl Kylie Jenner knows how to move some makeup! Her first #Kyshadow eyeshadow palette sold out online in ONE MINUTE after being announced less than 24 hours earlier! I’m really not a fan of this particular palette as it is definitely made with fairer skin in mind – most of the shades would make me appear washed out. So I decided to dupe it with some shades that are similar, but a tad more brown girl friendly. Keep reading for swatches!Continue Reading
