I’ve been in need of a new mascara for a while and decided to pick this one up to try out. It’s supposed to be a volumizing and (I guess) moisturizing formula, hence having “Balm” in the name. These are my thoughts based on a couple weeks of wearing it so far.
The Essence Contouring Duo is one of a few new things I picked up in December. I’m always on the lookout for new contouring products because I feel like there aren’t that many out there that fit what I’m looking for. So many of them are yellow or orange toned against my complexion and end up being bronzers on me.
I pulled out a bunch of random stuff I rarely use and this look is the result. The majority of the color is from the ABH Norvina Palette and I topped it off with various other shiny things.
Essence recently came out with these little monochromatic six pan palettes. It looks like there are currently 8 of them, all of them with 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. The Taupe It Up one having lots of grey in it seemed most interesting to me.
More of a dramatic, semi-experimental look with the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Palette. I really didn’t like how this one came out but sometimes I post things and others seem to like them, so here it is.
Here’s a simple light and bright look you can get out of the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Palette. It’s mainly a sheer frosty shade all over the lid with some slight definition in the crease and a soft winged liner.
This look is mostly matte using a mix of the warmer and cooler shades with one shimmer on the outer lid. I tried something I normally don’t do which is using a deeper shade on only the center part of the lower lashline and brightening both the inner and outer corners. I think it created an interesting shape I’d try again with different colors/textures.
day to use anything I felt like from my collection whether discontinued or not in hopes of breaking out of that lull.
In this post, I will go through my favorite way to do my brows. There are so many ways to do them and there is no one right way to do it. Everyone has different shapes/colors/hair types/preferences and what I do will not work for everyone.
