Hi love, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I'm happy to share with you my monthly favorites. Is it me or did June fly by so fast? And we are almost in the middle of July. Anyway hope you enjoy the video and all the items mentioned in the video are listed down below. I also link a all the reviews ;)
Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Today I'm so excited to share with you my thoughts on Pat McGrath Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Setting Powder in shade Light 1 (5g, €60.00) and her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Under Eye Powder in shade Light (4g, €33.00). The setting powder is available in 5 different shades and the under eye setting powder comes in 3 shades. I love her range has a shade for everyone from lightest to the deepest skin tone. So everyone is able to find their perfect shade that matches the foundation they use from her. Lets start with her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Setting Powder and it's loose powder, which is my favorite to set my complexion. It comes in see through jar and has a black cap on it with the brands logo on it. Inside the powder has a net over it, so all the powder wouldn't come out. I like it and it's specially good to have when traveling, so not everything comes out.
The powder feels silky smooth to the touch and feels like nothing on the skin. The Flex Form Matrix powder blend helps to blur fine lines and imperfections. This powder is formulated without parabens and fragrance.
I have been using it for months now to set my foundation and it works like magic with here foundation. When I use her primer, foundation and powder to getter I have noticed the foundation doesn't make me as glowy and last better on me. It gives me soft silky smooth finish, which I love. I also like I don't need to use too much products. I noticed I needed to do touch ups less with this powder (I have oily skin), then with my Hourglass loose powder. I'm happy I tried it and I do like it, but I wouldn't repurchase it, because of the price point. Next we have her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Under Eye Powder and it's my first time to have separate powder for my under eye area. I feel so fancy lol.... This is available in 3 shades and comes in a cute black compact and has the brand's logon on the top. Inside there is the smallest mirror every and the powder. I don't get the point of the mirror, because its so small, that it's useless.
This powder is super fine and instantly sets everything and makes the skin feel silky smooth. I love using it and it's my favorite powder out of the two. My concealer doesn't crease with this powder and I don't have to reset it through out the day. I also like it feels like nothing. I'm so impressed by it! It also helps to blur the look of fine lines and wrinkles. They claims that it brightens dark circles, but I'm not sure about it. I think concealer cover these up the best ;) And then set it with this powder. That's what I do and I love the results I get. Overall I like both powders. Like I mentioned in above the under eye setting powder is definetly my favorite out of the two and I see myself repurchasing it in the future.

Hi loves, I'm happy to share a new update on my Pan Those Eyeshadows Project Pan and it's the 3rd update. All items mentioned in the video are listed down below.
Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Today's review is on Clef Skincare Anti-Aging Mask ($39.99) and they where so kind to send it to me as a gift. Thank you so much!
Their Anti-Aging Mask comes in a beautiful matte packaging and has gold flakes on it. One box contains 5 sheet masks and they are all individually packaged. One mask contains 30ml of serum, which I think is really cool.
The mask doesn't contain any hormone, alcohol, fragrance and essential oils. It's also cruelty free, vegan, gluten free, paraben free, phthalates free and cruelty free. I love it and I could feel how gentle it was for the skin.
What makes this mask interesting is the 9 in 1 function, which I really like. It claims to moisturize, brighten, repairs the skin, is firming, reduces the look of wrinkles, fades scars, reduces pigmentation, minimizes pores and increases elasticity. I feel it does all these things and definetly transformed my skin. Only thing I can't comment about is the scars as I don't have any. It did make my skin look so much brighter, hydrated and I saw visible difference in the wrinkles and the texture of my skin. I have deep wrinkle between my brows and this made it almost go away. You can see the results in the demo video down below.
Let's talk about the key ingredient in this mask, which is the copper peptide. This ingredient is driven from human protein and it helps to reduce the look of wrinkles and scars. The molecules of the copper peptide they use in their mask are very small, which means it easily penetrate into the skin. It helps stimulate collagen, regenerate elastin and helps to restore skin hydration levels.
This mask fits my face like second layer of skin. It contains a lot of serum (30 ml) and I feel it really helps the skin look more radiant. I applied it on cleansed skin after toner and essence. I only used these masks and nothing else to really see how it makes my skin look and feel. I kept it on 20 minutes and and after that I removed it and gentle massaged rest of the serum into the skin.
I took the left over serum which was left in the packaged and pour it into empty bottle, so I used it as my serum on days I didn't do the mask.
I have to tell you guys this mask works like magic and you can see the results for yourself down below. My skin hasn't looked so radiant for some time. I'm so impressed.
Down below you can see the demo and I get the camera really close to my face, so you can see all my imperfections and late the results of the mask. I'm so impressed with this sheet mask.
If you love the look of the results and want to check this baby out for yourself, you can find the mask here.
Hi loves, we haven't seen each other the longest time and I'm sorry about that. I hope you are all doing well and I'm so happy to share a new brand with you. I have been testing out over a week Brown Melanin Makeup (BMM) Melanin Fantasy Eyeshadow Palette (£21.00). They are UK based brand and its black owned beauty brand. Their products are also cruelty free.
The palette comes in a sleek packaging, which I love, because it's great to have in my makeup kit and also perfect for traveling. The palette closes magnetically and inside there is a big mirror and 10 beautiful eyeshadows: 7 matte, 2 shimmers and 1 metallic.
The eyeshadows are so pigmented and silky smooth to the touch. I love there is a shade for any look I want to create, if its day time look for office or evening glam look for girls night out. This palette has me covered. I didn't experience any fall out with these shades and these blended out easily. These also work well together with other eyeshadows. Down below you can see swatches.
Sweet Brown - is a matte dark rich brown. It's the perfect shade to add drama into my looks. I also have been using it as a liner.
February - is a beautiful champagne shimmer, which is perfect to highlight the inner corner of the eye.
Boss Babe - is a bronze shimmer. Love to use it all over the lid.
OYA - is a matte yellow. I love to use it as transition shade when I do warm tone crease.
Tari - is a bright matte pink. It also would look beautiful blush shade on deeper skin tone.
Bijoux - is a matte cream shade. It's the perfect shade to use as a brow bone highlighter.
Magic - is a metallic golden green. It's my favorite shade out of this palette. Many of you might know I adore green eyeshadow and this shade is so easy to use and looks fantastic all over the lid.
Strong - is a matte orange. Love to use it when I go for warm crease and pair it with OYA.
Goddess - is a matte mid tone brown.
Ohema - is matte warm tone lighter brown.
Let's talk about the staying power. You might know I use eyeshadow primer under all my looks and I did the same with these eyeshadows. I didn't experience any creasing or fading through out the day. These eye shadows stay true to color all day. My eyeshadow looks stayed on place and looked fantastic all day. Couldn't be more happy with the staying power and the quality of the eyeshadows.
I'm so happy I picked this palette up. I have looked that palette for months and finally got it. It's one of the best purchase of 2020 ;)
If you are looking for a new palette and want to support black owned beauty brand, you can find it here. It's worth every cent and I'm so happy to have it in my collection.
Which is your favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment?
Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I discovered in my makeup drawers this beautiful Juvia's Place Nubian Palette and I haven't reviewed it on the blog. I know it's an older palette, but it's a classic and needs to be talked about more. I think it's good to show love to some older makeup products and maybe some of you have it in your collection and it reminds you to take it out and show it some love ;)
The palette comes in a beautiful green packaging with gorgeous art work on it. Some reason on the pictures it looks more teal, then green. I guess it's the lighting. Anyway it closes magnetically and hosts 12 eyeshadows: 4 mattes and 8 shimmer/metallic shadows. These are so pigmented, buttery to the touch and are easy to work with. I have used these shadows with other powder shadows and on their own. I never had any issues. I did get some fall out, so I recommend doing your eyes first then your base.
Down below you can see all the shades swatched from top row to bottom row. I think the pictures show you how pigmented these really are.
Let's talk about the staying power. I always where eyeshadow primer under all my looks and these last with a primer all day. There is no creasing or fading. I'm so impressed with the quality of their shadows and this palette is perfect for everyday. I do need to grab a matte light bone color shade to highlight the brow bone. To be honest I don't mind it too much, because I have at least 20 in my collection.
I think it's fantastic palette and I can't wait to grab some other palettes from them and also foundation. Has anyone tried their foundation and what to you guys think? Let me know in the comments section.
If you are interested in this palette it's at the moment discounted and is only $14.00. You can gab yours here.
Down below you can see the demo part of this review. I did an eye look with this palette and I'm happy how it came out :)
Hi loves, hope you are doing well and staying safe as much as possible with everything that is going on in the world. Today I have another review for you and I'll be sharing my thoughts on Medusa's Makeup Tropical Matte Eyeshadows and I have shades Key Largo and Kokomo (2g, and they are for sale $3.99). Medusa's Makeup is an indie brand out of the USA. Their products are cruelty free and vegan. They ship worldwide and they also offer a subscription box, where you can try out 4 full size items. It's really fun!
Their shadows come in a bright teal packaging and has partially clear lid with the brand logo on it. I also like I'm able to see the shades I have.
Both of the eyeshadows I have are with matte finish. These are bright colors, feel buttery to the touch and have good color pay off. These shades go well together and also work well with other powder eyeshadows. I didn't have any issues blending these out.
Kokomo - is a matte yellow. It looks brighter when applied on white base.
Key Largo - is a matte bright blue. It looks on its own beautiful and also works well when you want to mix it with Kokomo. You can more green shade.
I have used these always with an eye primer and these have lasted all day without creasing or fading.
I'm so happy I have these 2 shades in my collection for summer. I love wearing bright colors and these are perfect. These blend like a dream and last me all day :) You can check out all their pressed eyeshadows here.

Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Before I go into today's review I want to mention what I'm doing on my Instagram. On June, July and August I will be promoting only black own beauty brands on my IG. If you don't follow me you can do so here.
But let's continue with today's blog post. I'll be reviewing Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Primer (30ml).
The primer comes in a black bottle and has a pump, which I really like. It has a matte golden label on it, which makes it look beautiful. I love the clean style her packaging has.
The primer itself is formulated with hyaluronic acid, which is one of my favorite skincare ingredients, so I'm always happy to see in formulas. The formula also contains botanical extract, which help to refine the look of pores.
It's a water base primer, which is the perfect primer and works very well with the foundation. I love how the primer makes my skin plump, smoother and the foundation application is seamless.
I love her foundation, which you can read all about here. Before I used it with this primer, I used my other primers and I got more oily, then usual. Once I used here foundation and primer together the staying power changed for me and I love the foundation even more. It makes my foundation last so much longer and I don't get as oily. It's a huge win in my book :)
This is so beautiful and light weight primer. It has a light pink color, no scent and instantly becomes one with the skin. It sinks in so fast. I love it helps to prevent transepidermal moisture loss. It gives the complexion velvet matte finish. As you can see from the review I love this primer. It does what it says and makes my favorite foundation even better. I'm obsessed! Worth every penny.
Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Today I'm happy to share my progress with my palette. We have a new pan, which is amazing and we can pick a new color I can work on. I have picked 5 eyeshadows from the palette I keep working to hit pan till I have pan in all the shades. Then we see what we are doing next :)
Hi loves, hope you are doing well and staying safe. Today I'm sharing with you my May favorites. I don't know where the month went, but June is almost here. You can find all the products mentioned listed down below. I also add a link to a review, if I there is.
Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe :) Today's blog post is on Dutch brand call Look X and they where established in 1999. They are clean beauty brand, which mean no harmful ingredients and their products are not tested on animals.
I have their Lip Gloss in shade 30 (7.5ml, €18.95). There is altogether 10 shades available. The formula of the lip gloss is vegan.
The gloss comes in a clear tube and has the brands name on it. The tube itself is bigger, then some other lip gloss tubes in my collection. It comes with a classical dow foot applicator.
The formula of the lip gloss is non sticky and has skincare benefits. It claims to be soothing, moisturizing and anti-aging, It contains of jojoba oil, which protects and regenerates the skin. The formula is free of mineral oils and parabens. They also say that it's made with natural ingredients.
The gloss itself looks gorgeous and feels so comfortable on lips. It has added pearl pigment, which makes the lips look bigger, then they really are. The shade 30 is beautiful shade for summer. It's a peachy shade with pearly finish, which I absolutely love. You can see why on the pictures below.
Let's talk about the staying power, because it's not very sticky gloss it lasts on lips for few hours. On their own page they say it lasts up to 3 hours and I do agree with it. It feels comfortable on lips and is perfect everyday color. I'm so happy to have it in my life!
