Sephora Collection| More Than Meets The Eye Eyeshadow Palette (Review)

This limited edition eyeshadow palette contains 32 shadows that include everyday neutrals, smoky, highlighting shades and bright pops of colour, This palette is essential for beginners and makeup artists alike. The center shades are perfect for everyday use while the surrounding shades are great for smoky looks and pops of colour. This palette costs $32 but is valued at $180. Below you can see all 32 shades from the palette swatched. I will say that some of the more neutral and lighter shades are harder to see on my skin but I did try to pack up the colour for it to be noticeable. If there are some that you cannot see you can check further down this post to see a picture of the palette itself.
****I'm not sure if this palette is cruelty free or not because Sephora took down the information for the palette before I could write down the information. If I'm not mistaken a good chunk of the Sephora collection is cruelty free (at least all the items I've purchased so far). I'm going to say that it is cruelty-free based on all the items I have purchased from +Sephora thus far. *******     

I really like that there is a variety of shimmer, matte and glitter shades that can allow anybody using this palette to create countless amount of makeup looks. Also, this palette contains warm, neutral and cool tone shades for anybody's needs. I do have to say that you get a good amount of diversity in shades for the amount you pay for. (Also another reason why I love buying Sephora palettes).

I love that if you go a little heavy-handed applying a dark shadow to your crease, you can use a lighter shade to soften the look of the darker one.  And you are able to correct your mistakes without having to re-do your whole eye look. I know for me and I'm sure many do this as well, I by mistake will use a darker shade on my crease or will be heavy-handed with a dark shadow without meaning to be but this palette using some of the shades in the center can help me soften my eye look and not make my crease look harsh. Also, I have been using more of the lighter shades from the center of the palette to help blend my crease. 

The eye shadows blend really nicely and even after a whole day of wearing them they do not crease or smudge. If you do have really oily lids and do not set your eyelids with a powder then the oils will smudge and break down the eyeshadows. When I did my eye makeup I set my eyes with powder then used these eyeshadows and afterwards I went clubbing. I kid you not my eye look still looked fresh and the same as when I left my house. 

There are a few shades (mainly the blue ones) that I don't like using because they don't compliment my eyes. I have hazel eyes so I can pull off a lot of different colours. But blues are a little harder to pull off. So instead, I'll wear a black lip and apply the blue shadows over my black lip. I find that this works best for me because I prefer bright/bold lips over bright/bold eye looks. So instead of just using the shadows that work best on my eyes I'm utilizing and using all the shadows in the palette. I feel that this can be an invaluable tip to everyone who do buy palettes but don't quite know what to do with the brighter shades. Using it over top a lip colour can definitely be a great way to use these bright shades. 

Rating:
I am going to give this Sephora palette 4.5 stars on 5. I absolutely love this palette! After using it for a while I love how easily I can come up with a makeup look that looks good and stays looking good. I do have to say that some shadows when picking up it up with a brush, there will be an excess amount of shadow but otherwise I don't really have any major complaints regarding this eye shadow palette. I think that if you are a beginner in makeup and want to splurge on a palette but don't know which one that you can't really go wrong with one from Sephora.

      Hi, you're right the Sephora Collection itself is not cruelty-free, however, they do have some items in their collection that is cruelty-free. Like I mentioned above they do sell items that are not tested on animals. I hope that clears up the confusion :)

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
