Things so far that have put me in a chokehold this year:
1.) watching the dancing with the stars tour live for the first time and watching all the dances in awe.
2.) watching drag race for the first time specifically this season.
3.) listening to Cowboy Carter by Beyonce.
4.) crying over Lisa Frankenstein in theaters lol that was a good movie.
5.) buying Huda Beauty products for the first time because it’s amazing and I’m starting with the lip products.
6.) buying the new Princess peach video game for the Nintendo switch.
7.) reading I’m not your perfect Mexican daughter, Valley of the dolls, and Something more . If you want a cute coming of age slice of life book with a palestinan lead and with some autistic representation, I highly recommend it.
8.) listening to the Palestinan-Chilean singer Elyanna for the first time because HOLY COW her voice is wonderful.

I have been on a total gold obsession this week. I just painted my nails gold and I keep using warm / golden toned eyeshadows. Honestly golden shades make my blue eyes pop like crazy and they are pretty much my go to all the time. So today I wanted to share with you one of my favourite eye looks using my favourite golden eye palette.
If you love a golden eye look like myself then I couldn't recommend the Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette, £62.00 more if I tried. This palette is a total dream for me because I have been warm toned obsessed since I first started wearing eye makeup. Huda Beauty have produced some of my favourite eye palettes ever because her formula is so pigmented and easy to blend, it's a total dream to work with. In the past Huda has produced lots of large palettes but they all have a similar vibe until this palette came along and it's a total game changed featuring, mattes, metallics, glitters and gel texture eyeshadows. Though the palette is expensive you really do get a great mix of formulas to play around with.
The makeup look you can see above has become my go to everyday look using a mix of the warm toned matte shades to create my shape and then using the metallic golds in my center eye lid. If I wanted to intensify the look I would use a eyeliner in my waterline but for this specific look I loved having the golds pop and my blue eyes pop!
I have been using this palette for a long time now and every time I go back to it I fall more in love with it! As always all products mentioned in my blog post are linked above.
