Temptalia: The Day in Beauty | May 22, 2017

[How do you decide what eye makeup to wear?]( It usually is based on what I need to test next! If I have a few palettes that I'm testing, then I might coordinate with whatever else I'm testing/wearing or try to make both eyes "match" in a general sense, like neutrals on both eyes rather than bold blues on one and golds on the other! [This Week’s Sales for May 22nd, 2017]( [Bobbi Brown Island, Nude Beach, Sunkissed Glow Sticks]( Bobbi Brown Island Glow Stick ($36.00 for 0.31 oz.) is medium, golden bronze with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had a dewy finish on the skin, as the formula never dried down. While the finish was always luminous, it had terrible wear--on its own, it had slid around noticeably on my skin after four hours of wear. When I tried it over my liquid foundation, it moved my base around a ton and created a lot of patchiness within two hours of wear. It had sheer coverage, and the pearl in this particular shade made it look spectacular [Continue Reading…]( [Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palettes for Summer 2017]( Huda Beauty 3D Highlighter Palette for Summer 2017 Inspired by Huda Kattan’s hack of layering oil with powder highlighter to amplify her glow, this palette is packed with two different textures. The Melted Strobe, a pearlescent creamy formula, is enriched with karite butter for a flawless, lit-from-within canvas to layer on powders. The three, light-catching pressed pearls are staggered in complimentary tones to give you sculpted, 3D radiance. With effortless blendability and layering power, this palette lets you build and sculpt your highlight to a desired level of radiance—from subtle, natural radiance to an all-over glow. The Details Gold Sand [Continue Reading…]( [Anastasia Summer 2017 Eyeshadows (Part 1)]( Anastasia Enchanted Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, violet purple with cooler undertones and a frosted finish. The consistency was rather dense, almost thick compared to most of the brand's formulas (including other frost/metallic shades) but is incredibly pigmented. I would recommend using a flat synthetic brush or medium dome-shaped eyeshadow brush (I used MAC's 239 just fine with this). If you're familiar with the more recent silicone-heavy eyeshadows that have released lately, you'll enjoy the formula as it has that same creamy, smooth feel. The eyeshadow adhered beautifully to bare skin, still blended out, and stayed on [Continue Reading…]( [Rant & Rave: Added Fragrance]( I'm not a fan, usually, as the scents are often floral-based and overwhelming. I'm using a face moisturizer right now that works well, but I loathe the scent of it. [MAC x Steve J. & Yoni P. Blushes]( MAC Peony Petal Blush ($23.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright, medium cotton candy pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a firmer, stiffer consistency. This shade has been released in the past, but the version I received to review for this launch was noticeably harder to use due to the firmly pressed powder. I was able to apply and blend it out enough for fairly even coverage, but it was not easy to use. On me, the color started to fade after eight hours of wear. The Steve J. and Yoni [Continue Reading…]( [Kat Von D Shade + Light Glimmer Eye Palette for July 2017]( Kat Von D Shade + Light Glimmer Eye Palette for July 2017 The same neutral tones from our beloved Shade+Light Eye Contour Palette are reimagined in 4 wearable glimmer finishes, in different levels of intensity, to bring light-catching dimension to the eyes.
