Morphe Haul + A Mascara

Hey everyone! I recently went on the Morphe web site because I was finally convinced that I wanted to buy the highly talked about 350 Palette. There are a great range of colours which includes some gorgeous warm shades. As you can tell by the swatches, each shadow is highly pigmented. The only thing that I noticed when s watching the matte shades is that I had to pick up more product to get that opacity that I wanted. I do wish the palette was smaller in size because it is not ideal to travel with. Other than that, I am glad that I did pick-up this palette.

I finger swatched the last three shades on the right in the palette in the photo below. 

I had never ordered from the Morphe web site before and I didn’t know that you could purchase other brands! After browsing the web site, I came across Jeffree Star’s Lip Scrubs and knew I had to buy one once I seen that it came in Pumpkin Spice Latte. It smells incredible and will be perfect for getting soft lips in fall! The packaging is gorgeous and you get 30 grams of product which is 1 oz. It is 5 grams more than the lip scrubs at Lush which only contain 25 grams. They are both sugar based lip scrubs. 

There is a great range of brushes on the web site to choose from and I knew right away that I wanted a smaller brush for contouring. I bought the E46 Mini Angled Buffer Brush which is soft and the perfect size! I haven’t tried it on my face yet but it seems promising! The second brush that I purchased happens to be one of Jaclyn Hill’s favourites which is the M433 Pro Firm Blending Fluff. It is fluffy and rounded - just what I had wanted! A girl can never have enough blending brushes!

I did order the Morphe Concealer in Beige. I originally wanted a lighter shade but they were sold out so I settled on buying a slightly darker shade. I must say that I am not impressed with the formula. I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but you can tell from the photo that mine is clumpy, chunky and not appealing whatsoever. It is a thicker concealer and does blend out well. I can make this colour work but there is a lot of pink/peach undertones to it. It was only $5 USD and I am almost out of my other concealer so I needed something to replace it.

Separate from my Morphe order, I went to Wal-Mart a few days ago and wanted to share with you this mascara that I came across. It is from the Flower Line created by Drew Barrymore. I couldn’t find any information online if they are discontinuing the line or not because at Wal-Mart, the entire line was on clearance and there was barely anything left. I was tempted to purchase an eyeshadow quad but I had to refrain from doing so because I just bought the Morphe 350 palette. I digress, anyway, I got the Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara that has three different brush heads. 

It claims to lengthen, curl and add thickness to your lashes. Each brush head does something different and if you use all three brush heads on your lashes, then you will receive all three benefits. You just twist the black part on the handle to get the specific brush head you want, coat your lashes generously and you are left with beautiful customizable lashes! I purchased mine in the shade Intense Black and I only paid $4.50 for this mascara.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette Review

Hey everyone! Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette VS. The Anastasia Contour Kit

Before making the decision to get this palette, I was debating between this one and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. I decided to go with the Kat Von D palette because: the pans are larger, less people broke out from using this contour kit, there were more reviews on the Sephora web site and they were higher ranked for the Kat Von D Contour Palette. The only thing I wished that this palette offered is that you can pop out the pan once it is finished and buy a replacement to insert into that same palette. The Anastasia Contour Kit offers this and it is really convenient to replace one of your most used colours instead of repurchasing the entire palette again. Also, there is only a $3 CAD difference between the two palettes which isn't much at all.

Packaging

There is a nice sized mirror that comes with the palette which I unfortunately probably won't use much. I like the names she came up for the shades were are unique and memorable. The one thing I don't like is the black packaging for the sole reason that it will leave fingerprints all over the entire palette from touching my makeup with my hands. Despite that, the palette feels sturdy enough to travel with and closes firmly.

The Shades

I felt as though these shades were: smooth, creamy, soft, blendable, easy to work with, pigmented and buildable. I am impressed and I think that Lyric is my favourite highlight shade because of my yellow undertone. When I get more of a tan, I can easily use the next darkest shade to contour with which is appreciated because what girl doesn't like a selection of colours to choose from?

Overall

This is a very well thought-out palette that is worth the money you spend on it. I will definitely be getting much use out of it and will easily be able to pack it when I end up traveling next!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
