  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette Review

    September 15, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Happy Friday, loves!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Today, I'm bringing you my review of the highly controversial Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette!  Wow, has there ever been this much of an uproar over eyeshadow?  I am a huge fan of the ABH Eyeshadow Palettes, particularly the cult fave Modern Renaissance Palette (review here) and the Master Palette by Mario (review here).  I'll admit firsthand, I've watched plenty of review videos on the Subculture Palette, ranging from favorable to highly critical.  Still, I'm here to give the palette a fair shot and provide my honest opinions, based on my own experience.

    Happy Saturday, dolls!  I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far :) Today, I'm excited to be reviewing the Juvia's Place Masquerade Eyeshadow Palette!  I've heard rave reviews about this brand, particularly in regards to their super pigmented products at affordable prices.  Girl, you got me sold ;) Out of all the eyeshadow palettes offered, the shade selection of the Masquerade Palette called out to me the loudest.  So when it was finally back in stock online, I decided to give it a go.  Please read on to see how it performed.

    Hiii, y'all!  Today we will be going over the Product Empties from the month of August.  I was on the road quite a bit last month so I'm light on the makeup empties, but steadily going through my stash of travel-sized samples ;)  Each of these products will be accompanied by a mini review, and recommendation on whether or not I would repurchase.

    Hiii, everyone!  Today, we will be reviewing the hugely popular Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powders!  These highlighters have been out for awhile, but I have not been able to find them at my local drugstores.  Those shelves get cleared out quick!  I was so pleased with the goodies from my recent Wet n Wild Haul (blogpost here) that I had to give these a try.  They recently released some new colors, but I decided to stick to the two OG shades that kickstarted the cult following, Crown of My Canopy and Precious Petals.
