e.l.f. Cosemetics liquid glitter eyeshadow in Disco Queen and 24K Gold.

These liquid glitter eyeshadows are amazing. I have always loved glitter and enjoy how pigmented and sparkley these are! A great dupe for the Stila Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadow. These might be less pigmented than Stila, but the glitter looks amazing. Beware though because this glitter when messed with too much you will end up with glitter flecks EVERYWHERE!

Morphe Palettes? Cheap or Worth it?

As the owner of 4 different Morphe palettes I believe I have some knowledge behind this topic. I own an old discontinued 35B, James Charles, Jaclyn Hill, and 24G Grand Glam palettes.

The discontinued one 35B was the rainbow palette that was my first one with all the different colors. I was in love with it at first because of the colors, affordability and it was my first taste of different colors. Now looking back at it the quality had to be one of the WORST things I have used. It was a great start for me when I was younger, but after a few months the shadows had a gross film that made it impossible to get any pigment on my brush. It became a living nightmare and stained the hell out of my eyes.

 James Charles palette then replaced the 35B palette being the new rainbow palette for Morphe. Besides the controversy with James I was ok with the palette for some of the colors it offered. The neutrals were also something I reached for when creating looks. The one pigment I have big beef with is the yellow shade. It never stays on your lids and the SECOND you take your brush to it poof all the color has disappeared from your lid. No matter what I do for this shade it is patchy and the worst thing I have ever touched. If anyone has a good recommendation for a yellow shadow that works, please let me know.

The Jaclyn Hill and 24G Grand Glam are my two main ones that I adore. The formula for these is just different and everything just blends beautifully. The metallic pigments as well are phenomenal and are so creamy. They work the best when applied with your finger and look amazing. They feel like butter and are the best in these palettes that I own.

 In the end I think if you are in a pinch and want to experiment with some new colors then Morphe would be the choice for you. Some palettes are not as good as others and you NEED to read reviews of them to just make sure you are getting a good quality. I would recommend to anyone the Jacklyn Hill one just because the formula for that palette is superior to the others Morphe has created.

The Beginning...

Hello! 

My name is Addison and I am currently 21 living back at home in Indiana. This whole corona thing has really killed all my life plans. I am working currently still, but all this time has given me the time to think what I want to do now with my life. As fun as living back at my parents’ home sounds I want to leave here as soon as possible. My coworkers talked to me about starting a blog about makeup tips, and just about my life in general. I thought that here would be a great start to just see if I enjoy it and what I could do with it. So, now I am blogging? Is blogging even in anymore? Who cares, I am excited to just try this out and to keep myself occupied during these trying times. So, welcome to this blog and I hope you laugh and pick up some tips along the way.
