Covergirl Trunaked Dazed Eyeshadow Palette

Hey there everyone, today i will be reviewing the Covergirl Truenaked Eyeshadow Palette in Dazed. This palette was made in Canada (yay) and is dermatology tested. You get 0.23 ounces of product and this eyeshadow palette retails for about $9.00 to $12.00CND. Pricey I know especially when you only get 8 eyeshadows.

Sadly these eyeshadows don't have names. All of these swatches were done with a finger and no base what so ever.
Although for the most part, the eyeshadows swatched pretty good when applied to the eyes they don't perform so well. Not only are theses somewhat chalky they are chunky as well and don't even get me started on the fallout. You get a crazy amount of fallout that is mostly glitter, making it a pain in the butt to get rid of. When using a brush trying to get these on the eyes, it takes a lot to make them pigmented. I have used these with a white base and a wet brush and I still have to work at it to make them pigmented. I get that this is a drugstore eyeshadow but this was just embarrassing. Now I don't know if the other eyeshadow palettes in the Trunaked range are this bad I certainly hope not. If by some chance they happen to go on sale, I wouldn't mind trying another palette just to see. This particular eyeshadow palette though, I don't recommend. again I'm going to have to point you in the direction of Colourpop if you want cheap but good eyeshadow. 

Anti Haul 2 - Shit I'm Not Going Buy

Hello everyone! Today is another Anti Haul! aka Shit I'm Not Going To Buy! If you don't know what this is, every month or so I show you guys what new/hot releases I'm just not going to buy! So without further adeu, lets look at the shit I'm not going to spend my money on (and you shouldn't too).

first up! the jacylin hill x morphe vault eye shadow collection. honestly, i don't see anything super special about these palettes. these palettes have been done before and it's frankly kind of boring too me.

next up, the beauty blender bounce foundation. frankly i'm just up to supporting a company that has a shitty foundation shade range. not my cup of tea fam. maybe once they get their heads out their ass it might be worth to give it a shot but until then. you ain't getting my money beauty blender.

next up is this highlighter from kat von d. i'm sorry but i don't think a teal highlighter will look that good on my skin....or anyones for that matter. what is with companies doing really weird highlighter shades? i just don't get it.

next is this born this way concealer by too faced. call me cheap but i don't want to pay almost $40.00 for a concealer, not to mention when i look at the shades...i don't think there is one light enough for me.

next is this tiny eye shadow palette from natasha denona. sorry but i'm not spending $30.00 on five eye shadows. maybe if i ever win the lottery?

finally we have this lipstick from bite beauty. although it looks pretty i just don't see myself wearing a metallic gold lipstick. i don't even think it'd even look good on me to be  honest. it would literally just sit there and collect dust.

Doucce Luscious Lip Stain

How's it going everyone? Today I will be reviewing the Doucce Luscious Lip Stain. I got this in my June Ipsy glam bag, in the shade Passion Peach. The full size of this comes with the stain and a lipgloss topper for $28.00USD. There are currently 19 shades in the range with everyday, bold, bright and different shades.

First things first, I would exactly call this peach, it's much more orange in person which does not look good on me at all. I wish that I had received a more wearable color in my glam bag. The formula of this is pretty good. It lasts a REALLY long time, even staining (hence the fact that it's called a stain) and actually feels pretty comfortable on the lips. This is also super pigmented and you don't need to do multiple layers to get an opaque coat on your lips. I'm just really bummed that this isn't my color. I personally wouldn't pay the $30.00 but if I somehow got anther one of these in a subscription I wouldn't complain. Just send me a more wearable color, like a pink or a nude.

Violet Voss Flamingo Pro Eye Shadow Palette

Hello everyone, today I am going to review the Flamingo Eye Shadow palette by Violet Voss.

In this palette you get 20 1.8 gram eye shadows that include matte and shimmer. This palette is paraban, sulfate and phthalate free.

First row we have... Flamingos, Donut, Flip Flops and Bikini.

Next row is Oceanfront, Tidal Wave, Beach Ball and Watermelon.

Next is Lemonade, Pineapple, Popsicle and Sunbathe.

Next is Surf, Coral, Island and Sand.

Finally we have Seashell, Pinwheel, Sandals and Sunnies.

The formula of these eye shadows is the same as what I've seen in other Violet Voss palettes. Super soft, decently pigmented and easy to work with. These colors just scream summer to me and I am in love. Oceanfront and Surf are my fave shades and I definitely don't have anything in my collection like Surf. I really like too that they added a black so you could smoke out any look if you wanted too. The shimmers, while already pretty pigmented are insane when you use a wet brush. I have been using this palette a lot and I seriously love it. If you like using color, you need this palette as I feel there aren't many eye shadow palettes out there that are like this.

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

Hey guys how's it going? Today I will be reviewing the Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara. This mascara retails for about $7-$8 CND and you get 0.44 fluid ounces of product. You can get this in three different colors; Very Black, Black and Black Brown.
First off I love the applicator on this mascara. It does a good job of combing through the lashes and I will even pair this with a mascara that clumps just to get rid of them. Sadly though, for me this doesn't add much length or volume to my lashes. I do notice though that my lashes aren't stuck together like they do when I use most mascaras. Because of this I like to pair this mascara with another like the Lash Blast Volume. This mascara combo is my holy grail. By itself this lasts pretty good as does the waterproof version. I prefer the normal mascara though as the waterproof version makes my lashes crunchy. I actually don't think you need the waterproof one as I've cried or have accidentally gotten my face a bit wet and the normal version did not move. I do recommend this to anyone, especially since it's drugstore and most people should be able to afford it.

Steve Laurant Blueberry Eyeshadow

Hey guys! Today I will be reviewing the Steve Laurant single eyeshadow in the shade Blueberry.

Here is the swatch. The first swatch was done with a finger and the second with a brush.

As you can see this eyeshadow is SUPER shimmery, despite that though there isn't much fallout. It's pretty soft and packs on the lid pretty well. I do recommend using a light colored base though to really make this eyeshadow pop.
This eyeshadow retails for $16.00 on the Steve Laurant website. I can't find to much information about the product besides that it is made in China and that there is 0.12 ounces of product. I got mine from my June Ipsy glam bag. The website too looks kind of sketchy, like it's unfinished. It's kind of sad as this is a pretty good eyeshadow and I really want to try the shade Green Apple. It does look like you can buy these eyeshadows from the Ipsy website, sadly though they only ship to the United States, so the rest of us are shit out of luck.

Kat Von D I Am Divine Eyeshadow Palette

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the kat von d i am divine eyeshadow palette. this palette is currently on sale at sephora canada for $27.60. there are 8 eyeshadows in this palette, three of those are matte.

this palette, being from kat von d is of course vegan and cruelty free.

here is the first set of swatches, each swatch is done with a finer and no base what so ever on the skin.
for this first set we have babs, hard magic, baltimore and waters.

 next is filthy, pink glamigos, female trouble and hairspray.

as you can see from the swatches, the matte shades are pretty disappointing. they are not very pigmented, kind of chalky and are a pain in the butt to work with. i'm super bummed about this as i had high hopes for waters. for the most part, the shimmers are pretty good. i wish that pink flamingos was a bit more pigmented but it can be built and will eventually look like the color in the pan. the shimmers apply much more smoothly and don't kick back in the pan like the mattes do. i am incredibly disappointed in this palette it is no where as good as the pastel goth palette. the mattes in the pastel goth palette are pigmented, smooth and easy to work with. these shadows are just meh. i can get better eyeshadows for a cheaper price from colorpop. although the colors are pretty, i wouldn't waste your money on this eyeshadow palette.
