Winter Top Shelf Edit

Image
here is the winter top shelf edit over at ratboar HQ (featuring ONE! ONE eyeshadow!) I will talk about eyeshadow in another post bc we know that’s my bread and butter but I’m tryna branch out a little LOL some links listed below are affiliate links! i appreciate anyone who uses them! Half Magic Sparklestik Eye Crayon in Cloud Kid i try not to buy a lot of eyeshadow sticks cuz as much as i like the idea of them i dont use them a TON. i really enjoy that i don’t have to press hard on my eyes to get pigment to show up lol. longevity of this has been pretty good so far. I was waffling between SO many colors but settled for Cloud Kid because there is something to dreamy and effervescent about this particular shade of ice blue. I love it! The Saem Cover Perfection Lip Pencil in 06 Oat I like this for a quick contour. It is much warmer on me than I prefer but I love it for its blendability. I’m really getting into korean lip pencils and this one has been great so far. They're really cheap...

Blend Bunny Cosmetics: Surge Palette Review

Image
     I received the Blend Bunny Surge palette as a Christmas gift! I've been testing it out since then and wanted to share my thoughts on the palette. I've seen a lot of praise for it and overall I think it's well deserved. My biggest gripe with a lot of eyeshadow palettes is that they don't have enough range of depth! I know not every palette needs to have a black eyeshadow, but I find a lot of palettes don't go deep enough for my liking! It's also a matter of inclusivity when an eyeshadow is only made up of light shades.      The TL;DR of this is that I adore the matte shades! The shimmers leave a lot to be desired. The mattes are stunning and in colors I adore. I've been wanting some neon shadows for a while and these fill that void for me.  Palette in its unswatched form! So beautiful!      I am really impressed by how easily the colors all blend out. It's a great experience overall being able to get such deep, even blends with the u...

Beauty Bay Wilderness Palette Thoughts! (with makeup inspiration attached!)

Image
Long time no post!  I just wanted to share a look I did using the Beauty Bay Wilderness Palette. This has been a widely loved palette online and while I normally find myself wary of "hyped" products, I was deeply intrigued by the color story and the fairly affordable price! It was originally going for $15, but after SEVERAL restocks, they ended up raising the price to $18. I wanted to share my experience with the palette. I find that you can read/watch all the reviews you want, but ultimately it's your own experience with a formula where you can form your own opinion. Overall I do enjoy using the palette. The mattes are super pigmented and blend out really nicely. There's a gorgeous variety in color and depth (which is something I harp on a LOT of palettes. I love a good range of depth!). Some folks compare the Wilderness palette to the discontinued Melt's Muerte and Vida palettes. I can see the comparison, since the Wilderness palette contains both warm, swampy g...
