Technic - Eyeshadows - Nudes

I wanted a nude eyeshadow palette because I didn't have one.

I was initally thinking of Colorpop, but a lot of their nude palettes had red shades in them, I don't wear red eyeshadow shades.

This palette has six shades, which I will invent names for because they don't have any given to them.

Top to bottom:
Witching Hour
Coffee with Friends
Delta
Spring Carnation
Golden Hour
Champagne Toast

They feel quite buttery (surprisingly so) but the colour payoff is medium.

With the light hitting it to show the reflection.

The lighter three are shimmers and the darker three are a satin finish with a bit of glitter, but the glitter is not overpowering.

Price: 5/5 ($4.02 for 6 x 1.2g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Essence - Metal Shock - Eyeshadow - 01 Solar Explosion

This is a glittery gold cream eye shadow.

You can apply it with the doe foot applicator to get a kind of foil look, or buff it out to get more of a dispersed glitter look.

I really love this, it isn't too over the top but adds some glitz to a look.

No mascara or eyeliner.

I wore it for New Year's Eve with a dark lip. <3
And it didn't crease up, and I am oil!

Price: 4.5/5 ($5.28 for 3.5mL)
Scent: 2/5 (a little plastic-like)
Effectiveness: 4/5

RdeL Young - French Manicure Schablonen (Template)

These are guides for doing french tips, but I just used them for a border on my glitter.

Check out my accent nail!

They did pull up the nail polish underneath a little bit, but they were cheap and it didn't really matter with the clear nail polish I used.
Also, I was probably too impatient in letting the base coat dry.

Price: 5/5 ($1.37 for 40 stickers)
Effectiveness: 4/5 

Featherella Beauty - Mermaid Jewel Brushes

These brushes are everything!

They also came with a sparkly carry bag!

Price: 1/5 ($85.41... eeep!)

Effectiveness: 5/5

Starrily - King Midas

I wanted a gold holographic nail polish.

I'm normally a silver person, but I have fond memories of gold holographic foil from childhood.

I was actually took a bit to find a good gold holo polish, but I got one!

Plus the box it came in was super cute!

This is a clear polish with a decent amount of gold holo glitter.

This nail polish is full of glitter!!
It would be easy to get an opaque coat with Cristine's nail dabbing technique.

I personally prefer a light glitter scattering over the nail.

It makes me so happy to see it each time.

This is really pretty!

Price: 2/5 ($18.95 for 15mL)
Scent: 0/5 (nail polish, don't sniff)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Avon - Ultra Colour Rich - Mega Impact - Lipstick - Brilliant Berry

This  is a translucent berry lipstick with purple glitter.

Over the BJLL2 lip liner.

The angular mould of the lipstick is cute.

Price: 3/5 (~$19.99)
Scent: 3/5 (faint jam scent)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Rossburn - Eye Shadow Glitter Stick - Green

This could easily be 10 years old :/
But I wanted to review this because I'm sure most of us have cheap makeup from our teenage years.

Over the Eye of Horus 'selenite' pencil.

Less that two hours later and its creased so badly.

This creases so fast! :(
Even with a base under it.

Also, now my face is covered in glitter (which I am ok with).

This may make a whimsical highlight though!
Price: ** No longer sold, but probably was $2 **
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Physicians Formula - Shimmer Strips - Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Trio - Green Eyes - Black

I'm disappointed in the colour payoff from this.

One pass.
I'm not going to do multiple passes on my eye with this to build up the coverage.
