FLOWER BEAUTY SHIMMER & STROBE HIGHLIGHTER PALETTE // REVIEW

-

Flower Beauty is my favorite makeup brand and I have loved all of the products I've tried from them! I recently bought the Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette - which I have loved using over the past few months!

This palette now comes in 2 shades - Champagne Shimmer and Sunkissed Shimmer. I have Champagne Shimmer, which I would say is most suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Sunkissed Shimmer is best suited for medium to deep skin tones. Each palette has 3 different highlighters, that I love to wear alone or mix together for a custom shade.

 I bought this from Ulta, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore on their website. However, it is still for sale at Walmart & Flower Beauty's website for $14. 

This palette includes a brush, which is great quality and perfect to apply highlighter! Flower Beauty usually includes a high quality brush with their palettes, which I love because they are very high quality, apply the product seamlessly, and hold up well after washing it multiple times.

All of these highlights have a multi-dimensional metallic finish. There is also small flecks of glitter in the formula, which in other products I've tried can sometimes look too chunky and cause a lot of fallout on the face throughout the day. These highlights are completely different - they apply so smoothly and last all day on the face without fading or causing any fallout. 

All three of the shades in this palette are distinctly different, unlike some highlighter palettes where all the shades look the same. That aspect makes the palette so versatile and can be paired with so many different makeup looks. 

 The first shade in the Champagne Shimmer palette is a light frosty champagne, which I love to wear alone and also mix together with the other two shades in the palette to lighten it up. 

The second shade in the palette is a frosty rose pink - which is definitely my favorite shade in the palette because I love pink-toned highlights. I also especially love the look of this shade mixed with the first champagne shade in the palette! 

The third shade is a light yellow gold. I have very fair skin, so gold-toned highlighters are usually too dark on me, but the one included in this palette is perfect for me. 

Overall, this is one of the amazing powder highlighter formulas I've ever used. It isn't powdery, doesn't accentuate any dryness/texture on my face, and it lasts all day. It can be layered up for an ultra reflective metallic look, or toned down for a light radiance. 

 Like I said earlier, I have loved all of the products I've tried from Flower Beauty, but this palette really stands out to me as a top product from the brand. I highly recommend it to anyone interested!

Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves // Album Review

-
Image
Deeper Well  by Kacey Musgraves sounds like the first blossoming of spring after a long, cold winter. An aspect that shines the most within this music is her talent for sweet and simple songwriting. Every song is very rooted in nature and uses vivid imagery to paint such a stunning, honest and reflective portrait of this current phase of her life. The production is very stripped-back on most of these tracks, with the focus mainly on her vocals and lyricism. This is among her most introspective work yet, chronicling her inner-most thoughts and emotions from where she last left off in 2021 with  star-crossed . She worked on this album primarily in New York City at Electric Lady Studios , which is an environment that played into her wanting to make a softer, more subdued album this time. "There’s the smell of marijuana, pizza, people talking, skateboarders, loud music, everything at 220. And I think you take some of those things to the studio. When the outside environment is so max

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-
Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman * is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman * is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo // Album Review

-
Image
GUTS  is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Olivia Rodrigo , following up her massively successful debut album, SOUR , in 2021 . To have the level of success she has had right out the gate with her first-ever single "driver's license" in early 2021 is so rare and she quickly became one of the most notable pop artists to debut this decade so far. There are a lot of songs that I have come to really enjoy on this album, some of which are among my favorites of the entire year so far. When comparing  GUTS *  to  SOUR *,  they are alike in a lot of ways, both sonically and aesthetically. In my opinion,  GUTS  builds upon the foundation she and her producer/co-writer, Dan Nigro, set in place with  SOUR  really well. Olivia is in such an interesting and unique position as an artist right now. The closest, or most recent, comparison I have to it is where Billie Eilish was at with her career a few years ago after her debut album . Both her and Olivia went from being vir

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again

Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt // Newbury Comics Exclusive Rainbow Vinyl

-
Image
Tragic Kingdom is the hit breakthrough album by  No Doubt , released in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. Blending a mix of pop, punk, rock and ska, it was a groundbreaking album for the music landscape of the mid-90's and instantly became a timeless classic. It was the band's third album together, which differed quite a bit from their first two lesser-known records, partly because of the interpersonal drama within the lives of the members at the time. For the first time, No Doubt's music was mainly written from the perspective of the band's frontwoman  Gwen Stefani . This album was just the start of Gwen becoming the major force in pop music that she was for much of the next decade to follow. This record still is just as relevant now as it was then, I hear the influences of  Tragic Kingdom and Gwen's emblematic attitude try to be replicated by so many modern pop and rock records released today.  This album spawned several massive hits for them, including "S
