Fresh Faced Drugstore Look!!

Hi Everybody!!

This post is dedicated to this makeup look I created using only drugstore products. I even filmed a Get Ready With Me type of video outlining everything I used to create this look. Go watch it HERE :)




It was fun to create, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I may not be able to film or post for a couple weeks because I have to move. If you haven't read my previous posts, here's your warning. I'm sorry in advance. 

That's all for today! Thanks so much!

Be Wonderful :)

Smashbox Double Exposure Palette

Hi Everybody!!

I'm going to tell you a little about the Smashbox Double Exposure Palette.
I've had this palette for a long time, and still haven't used it, but at least I swatched it!!
Anyway, this is the box that it comes in, which is reminiscent of the original Full Exposure Palette. 

This is what the palette looks like when you take it out of the box. It is the generic cardboard packaging with a magnetic closure. This is also reminiscent of the Full Exposure palette, but this has the cool paint brush stroke. 


When you open the palette, it gives you a paper that tells you what happens if you wet the shadows. It's kind of the whole point of 'Double Exposure'. It's advertised as 14 shadows turn into 28 with water. 


And these are the shadows!

There are only a couple matte shadows, but all in all I'm not extremely impressed with this palette. There are a lot of cool toned colours, and I'm not partial to those. A few were even patchy but I haven't used them so I'm not sure how they blend on the eye. 

That's all for now!
