I love Bailey Sarian and her murder mystery videos! I really wanted to like this palette and support Bailey but unfortunately this was a tragic letdown. Looking at the palette the colors look beautiful and it has a great color story. You can do various looks with the mix of matte and shimmer shades. You can do a nice neutral summer look as well as a nice bold night-time look.  

Just swatching these shadows with my fingers they are pigmented, creamy and gorgeous! Applying and blending these eyeshadows together is a totally different story. The shadows that work well together  and that I reach for the most are the matte shadows and Ocean Ave. The shimmer shadows do not blend together at all. It becomes an absolute mess trying to blend them together. And the worst part is that they don't even stay on my eyes. The shimmer shadows move throughout the day and I'll have bunch of shadow on my under eyes/ cheeks. The only way to get a decent look is if you only use one shimmer shadow per look and even at that all the shimmers fallout once applied. And on top of that, I get so much fallout just trying to apply these shadows. 

Truthfully, I don't reach for this palette. It becomes like a chore when using this palette because I have to put in so much extra work to get these shadows to work together and then for it to work for me. The saddest part is that these shimmer shades are not as pigmented on the lids! Even using them wet it's still not as pigmented which is such a shame. 

Rating:
I am going to give Venice Fling 2 stars on 5. I expected more, I wanted to like it more, I wanted it to work for me and it's been such a disappointment. The matte shades were honestly the saving grace for this shitfest. I wanted to love it because I love Bailey but I am extremely happy I didn't dish out $30 for this. It's unfortunately not worth it.

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
