REVIEW & TUTORIAL: Etude House Dear My Blooming Eyes Palette - Shade OR201 Bashful Coral!

Hello my lovies. I'm back from visiting my family! I had a wonderful time. Little man turned two on the 8th! He's getting older, quicker, & I am NOT ready! LOL. 

I bought this palette awhile ago & have used it quite sparingly. I really only use this for special occasions when I only want a very light makeup look.

I'll not only be going into the colors, but I have done a makeup look using all the colors in this palette the way I would normally apply this!

Let's start with the product itself!

REVIEW: Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!

Hello again my lovies. I'm struggling to type this up at the moment, so I'm doing my best to make this post really great since I'M SICK AGAIN! This weather has been doing a number on my body. ^^; I'm totally feeling lethargic. Enough about me, let's get into the beauty of the Naked 3 Palette.

I received this as a Christmas present from my mother. I was so looking forward to receiving this palette since we first heard there was going to be a third palette in the works. What makes me love this palette even more, is that it's based off of rose colors. I LOVE rose colored anything.

The back of the box has the description in two languages as well as what the box contains. 

" Get ready to experiment with 12 TOTALLY NEW (and insanely beautiful) rose-hued neutrals, ALL EXCLUSIVE to this set. Choose from every finish imaginable: ultra-smooth mattes, gorgeous pearls and glimmering metallics. From the palest, shimmery pink to the deepest black matte with reed micro-glitter (aptly named Blackheart), these neutrals will make you want to get Naked all over again. "

The back of the box also shows the shadows in the palette, the brush, as well as swatches of the sample Primer Potions. Each of them last for about a week of continuous use.

And of course, the Naked 3 Palette itself! The card like case next to it hold the four sample packs of the Primer Potions. I love the color of this palette so much! Such a pretty rose gold color. The ruffled look makes this palette look extra fancy. It's a metal case similar to the Naked 2, so it's quite durable.

SO PRETTY. Just like the Naked 2, this also comes with it's own mirror & eye shadow brush. The brush works well. My favorite half of this palette would definitely be the first half! Those rose tones are amazing. 

Now, I'm gonna show off each individual eye shadow in depth as well as a swatch.  Each swatch has Primer Potion under it. All descriptions are from the Urban Decay website.

Strange

Pale neutral pink matte-satin.

Dust

Pale metallic pink shimmer with iridescent micro-glitter.

Burnout

Light pinky-peach satin.

Limit

Light dusty rose matte.

Buzz

Metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter.

Trick

Light metallic pinky-copper shimmer with tonal micro-sparkle.

Nooner

Medium pinky-brown matte.

Liar

Medium metallic mauve shimmer.

Factory

Pinky-brown satin.

Mugshot

Metallic taupe shimmer with slight pink shift.

Darkside

Deep taupe-mauve satin.

Blackheart

Smoky black matte with rosy red micro-sparkle.

Basically, this palette is made up off pink/rosy/taupe/brown colors. Seriously up my alley. I'm more than happy to have gotten this palette.

Some of the matte colors have a bit of fallout, but the quality of all the shadows are amazing. That's really all the "negative" things I have to say about this palette. It's literally perfect in my eyes. Urban Decay couldn't have chosen a better color to go with.

5/5

I can definitely see myself using this much more often than other palettes I have.

I actually went ahead & used most of the colors to create this eye look. If you want a tutorial, I'll try to remember which colors I used since it's been about a week or so since I took this photo. I love the eye shadows so much! 

Hope you've enjoyed this review!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Stay warm & don't get sick!

REVIEW: It's Skin Babyface Pretty Under Eye Pencil!

Hello there my cute little lovies! Hope you're all having a pleasant week. It's only Tuesday though! I'm super ready for another weekend to relax since all I'll be doing this week is de-stashing all of my stuff in preparations for the coming year. I've already cut my nail polish & make-up at least in half, & now I'll be working on little man's clothing. He's getting so big! I'll include a photo of him after the review! So, let's get started!

Excuse the poor quality.

I bought It's Skin Pretty Under Eye Pencil because I really wanted to get that aegyo eye look that is all the rage these days. I seriously cannot get over how cute it makes everyone look. This was on sale when I bought it, so I really felt this was going to be a wonderful item to get me used to creating that puffy, under eye bags look that everyone goes for.

The packaging is super cute as well!

Pretty Under Stick

"Young eye portrayal with a champagne pearl color."

I love the color of this. It's really natural looking as well.

Pretty Filter Stick

"Shades with a natural brown color and helps portray the eyes in a cute and clear manner."

A basic bronzy color.

[ DIRECTIONS ]

Step 1: With the Pretty Filter Stick (thin side), lightly draw the line that appears when you smile from left to right, naturally giving a shade to the skin.

Step 2: With the Pretty Under Stick (thick side), fill in the area between the eyes and the shade.

Pretty basic directions. They were super easy to follow.

I love the champagne color a lot. It's super gorgeous.

Took some photos of me wearing the product as well.

Without Flash.

With Flash.

As you can see, the champagne color shows up a bit more than the bronze color.

And with that, I'm going to explain why I DO NOT like this product. 

This product does not last very long on my eyes as both sides of the pencil are a creamy consistency & tend to rub off really easily. It's not very pigmented & doesn't give me the look I was going for. I had such high hopes for this product, too. I get better results using eye shadow. You may have different results, but this eye pencil definitely isn't for me. That means I'll have to try out other products! Leave a suggestion in the comments!

1/5

I think I'll be able to salvage the champagne pearl side to use as a highlighter or an eye shadow base. I don't want to let it go to waste.

Hope you've enjoyed this rather short review!

Have a wonderful day/night my lovies!

lubyou!!!
