Mac Snowglobe Eyeshadows



Hey everyone :)

  So I picked up this pallette a couple weeks after it came out, what really got me was the gorgeous packaging! Some people may say its to much but I'm a total gotti lover and I think its so Christmasy and fun I just adore it. What really grabbed my attention was the beautiful colours, I could already see myself wearing a makeup look using this product. I ended up buying it and when I got home and swatched it I was a tad disappointed in the pigmentation :(


   Don't get me wrong, the eyeshadows are quite lovely but some of them you have to layer up a LOT! Above is a picture of the pallete showing how the colours look like...
First row: Lightfully and Fun!
Second row: Black Tide and Trax
Third row: Festive Delight and Shadowy Lady


   Worst pigmentation defiantly goes to lightfully and Trax, however I find they work well to blend out other shadows. The only matte shadow in this pallette is Shadowy Lady, I kind of wish they replaced Lighfully with a matte light pink...

             (This pic goes in the same order as I listed above, you can barely see Lightfully)

  At the end of the day I suggest buying this product if you don't have much MAC eye shadows and you want to test some out or if you just want a compact that's gorgeous with a nice set of colours :) And random fact the brush in this actually applies the shadows well on your eyelid cuz its so tiny but can really pack the product on!



Thus I give this product  7/10 (wish the colours were more pigmented but I adore the packaging)


I bought mine for $45.50 Canadian, I believe its a bit less in America though :)

Hope you enjoyed this post <3




Urban Decay 24/7 shadow pencil stash review and swatches






Hey so this is the 1st time I've ever made a blog post and I'm super excited because I'm going to be talking about 1 of my favorite items :) Its the Urban Decay 24/7 shadow pencil stash, these are probably the best cream pencils out there! They're super creamy and so pigmented, they blend lovely and in this deal you get 5 of them! You can wear these gorgeous shades all day without worrying about creasing or fading which is always a plus especially for a busy mom like myself.

The colours you get in the set are (from left to right) delinquent, rehab, sin, clash and juju.




 These colours are a lot of fun to play with and I think this set would be perfect for any makeup junky like myself.

Thus I think this product deserves a 10 out of 10, I haven't had any problems with it and the colours are sooooo gorgeous!

Retails for $34 American, I think I got mine for about $40 Canadian at Sephora :)
