Colourpop Mini Haul and Review

Hello internet!!!!

I'm back with a impulsive purchase!!

Today my Colourpop purchase came thru (the mail lol) and here's what I've accumulated

The first thing I purchased was the Kathleenlights Dream St Palette bc who doesnt love kathleenlights am i right people 

Here are the swatches with flash (left) and natural light (right)

What I love about these are that the mattes are dry (so its easy to blend) and the shimmers are soft (which allows maximum shimmers in every swatch). My personal faves are Twinkle (gold and copper shimmer) and Shooting Star (pink mauve brown, great for everyday wear or romantic soft looks)

Some other things I purchased are the Lux Lipsticks

I'm so over the liquid lipstick trend and is currently looking for some affordable great quality lipsticks that transfer as little as possible.

I had some maybelline ones in mind because they have a wide range of colors but I decided on the Lux Lipsticks because the packaging is 💯

I still look at the packaging everyday and cry a little bit inside 

The shades I bought are Foolish (red orange leaning towards the red, very flamin hot cheetos esque ) and Lay Over (nude mauve brown pink leaning on the brown side which I LOVE for everyday wear)

The main reason I bought Lay Over is because I wanted to compare it to the Etude House BE109 but it was out of stock when I went to purchase it on Yesstyle 

Left: Both Colors with Flash, Right: Both colors in natural light 

Lux Lipsticks vs Lippie Stix

Lux Lipstick less creamy (in a good way) so the color lasts a LOT longer than the Lippie Sticks 

Lippie stix don't last long from my experience because theyre much much MUCH creamyer and emphasize my fine lines 

Lux Lipsticks > Lippie Stix

Here is a warm look I created with the new products 

(Follow me on  ig @glossmangoes for more makeup looks!)

I used Potion on the outer corners and the lower lash line, Twinkle on the lid and Shooting Star in the crease. I used Elfish on the upper lash line and a smidge of it on the outer corners, and finally Sweet Dreams on the inner corners and first half of the lower lash line 

Other Products Used: 

Elf eyebrow pencil in the darkest shade(Target)

Elf eyebrow wax (Target) 

MACQUEEN liquid liner (Yesstyle)

Wet N Wild contour Palette (Dulce De Leche) (Target)

I Review Gold and Copper Eyeshadows // Loves and Hates

Hello Internet!!!! (i accidentally made a typo and it said 'HELLP INTERNET' perfect)

Today I'm discussing my favorite highlighting eyeshadows/ lid shadows! Highlighting eyeshadows are the ones you put in the middle of your lid for a pop of shimmer and to give your eye look some dimension. I also pop these shadows in my inner corners and extend it to the front 1/3 of my lower lash line just because. 

When I'm doing a glam look I also like to wet these shadows with Fix Plus or Elf Setting Spray and apply them to the lid 

Top: Swatches with Flash 

Heres me putting it under different lights like the colors are going to change or something lol

So i'm just going to put a little something something about each eyeshadow down here

starting with the first one which is the

1) Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette in #Honey Pot

This eyeshadow was the biggest raved eyeshadow back in like idk 2013? Youtuber ILIKEWEYLIE and ZOELLA totally RAVED about how this palette is perfect,  and how pigmented it was. 

In my opinion, I think it was overhyped and there are definately drugstore products (or even palettes from small business with TONS of pigment) that are w a y  more pigmented. As for the color, its definitely a nice standard gold which I love, but I needed two swipes, setting spray and the power of anime to make it this thing pigmented. 

2) Be... by BUBZBEAUTY in #charsmatic

This one is a drugstore product brought to you by the first Youtuber that has inspired me since the 10th grade. This shadow is v e r y buttery compared to the Too Faced One, which allows the product to have more pigment and shimmer. As you can tell from the swatches it's tond more pigmented and its so much cheaper than the Too Faced one. Another cool thing is that the money for every palette purchased funds schools that she creates!! i love her 

3) Be.. By bubzbeauty #Able

First of all I love all the names of the shades and how inspiring they are

As for this shadow, this one is more of a coppery-rose gold color rather than just straight up gold.

This ones has great pigment but the color payoff is lacking because the shadow is a bit chalky. Doing your eyeshadow before your foudnation is an easy fix for fallout though!

4) Irrisistable Palette #Love Letter

This palette is the dupe for the ABH Ren Fair palette and honestly?? other than the 3 shimmer shades that I would definately de-pot and put it in an empty palette, the shades are lacking. Love Letter looks gold in the pan but has a white sheen to is. It's V E R Y buttery and creamy and I love it for highlihgting the inner corners. 

5) Retro Love Palette #Revolution

This palette is also a dupe paletter for the ABH subculture palette. This shadow is a very intense gold and copper shimmer shade and the eyeshadow is VERY creamy (like putty) which makes the color payoff beautiful (also makes me anxious to use the shadow bc im scared I'll press too hard)!!  There is little to no fallout and is very similar to the consistency of Colourpop Super Shock Shadows. Highly recommend and is definitely one of the best golds in this post.

6) Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in #Amaze
Not important info but this is actually my very first Colourpop purchase (granted its like a year old lol)
I am absolutely in love with this eyeshadow, it's very very v e r  y shimmery which I LOVE, it gives your eyeshadow look a gold shimmery sheen and is very easy to apply. There is no fallout because it's a cream eyeshadow and is very pigmented with one easy swipe. I've been sitting here thinking of a con for this but this only thing I've thought of it that the lid is detachable which makes it easy to lose (but the shadow needs the detachable lid for a tight seal to prevent drying out so that wasn't a very good reason lol)
This is also more of a chunky shimmer color unlike the Retro Love Palette which has a smooth golden sheen

7 & 8) Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 (Naked 2 Dupe) in #Half Baked and #Chopper
I categorized these two shadows together  because they're both the same consistency but differ in color. Half baked is more of a copper while chopper moves towards the yellow tones. These are part of the more drying shadows and definitely needs a spray for a more intense shimmer (rubbing the shadow twice before swatching does the trick for hand swatches though)

9) ELF Baked Eyeshadow Trio #Peach Please
This one is definarely a miss for me. A LOT of rubbing was needed for some color payoff and the glitter chunks are everywhere when you apply it. The glitters, unlike the Colourpop Super Shock Shadows, do not settle down and last all day. I feel like they baked the peach eyeshadow then powdered some loose glitters on top. Although this is a bit messy, it is a very pretty color but I just don't reach for it

10) ELF molten liquid eyeshadow #Brushed Copper
As the name says, this is a liquid eyeshadow, similar to the Stila Glitter and Glow liwuid eyeshadows. The color is very intense (i love it) but rather than copper, it's more of an "Off White, Vanilla" color. Now for the cons: This one does not dry down so it transfers everywhere. I have double eyelids so clinking with this on the lid is a recipe for disaster. I DO enjoy using it as an inner corner highlight or as a highlighter when I'm taking Insta photos and want the highlighter to stand out (or "pop" as the kids say)

Blessings Wait For You Playlist

Hi Internet!!!

Here's another spontaneous post lmao

I put my entire itunes on shuffle and Fly by The Kings™ (Epik High lol) played and that gave me the motivation to continue what I was doing when I was at the point of giving up 

(I did two chapters of my homework that didn't need to be done and I put SO much effort in it and kind of cried a little bit because with ADD, it's so HARD to even concentrate on one chapter let alone two. I was exhausted BUT NOW IM BA C K ON MY FEET.) 

On another note, it is IMPORTANT to rest when you're feeling down or you won't perform your best  (instead of giving up when you're exhausted)

LETS GET STARTED

Here are: Songs to listen to when you're exhausted, anxious about failing and at the point of giving up 

1) For You - 3RACHA

"If it's you, you can do it. Don't give up, you persevered up until now. Whats the worry? Believe in yourself"

2) Fly - Epik High 

"Only one dream is erased in an useless sigh.
The doors split up on the millions tries.
Living with eyes opened, you can see the smoke of a hope.
Brush off everything. That's the dust of pessimism."

3) Tomorrow - BTS

"When tomorrow comes,
the bright light will shine so don’t worry
This isn’t a stop but just
a pause in your life for a break
Turn up your thumbs and press play
so everyone can see"

4) Nevermind - BTS

(ah yes, kings of being relatable to the youth)

"We’re too young and immature to give up, you idiot
NEVER MIND
If you feel like you’re going to crash then accelerate more, you idiot"

5) Breathe - Lee Hi

"It’s alright if you run out of breath
No one will blame you
It’s okay to make mistakes sometimes
Because anyone can do so
Although comforting by saying it’s alright
Are just words"

6) You Better Know - Red Velvet

"It’s natural that you are lost like a clumsy child
On this unfamiliar path
It’s alright to take a rest, no rush
Like that wild flower that’s bloomed slowly

When you need a wind to soothe
Your tired heart
Will you listen to my song
That will blow fragrantly"

7) Dream Girls - IOI

"Hang in there a bit more

It’s OK, it’ll work out, don’t hesitate,
Get on your feet, one step after another

There’s enough time, don’t rush
Trust yourself, don’t give up"

8) Go Up - Winner

"I’m not born with it so my constant effort is my weapon
They say that still waters run deep and grow more
Going over the black lines I drew with my
Pen in front of my door when I was young"

9) Someday - UKISS

"Youre suffering now
is a sign of your hard work
Everybody knows you tried.
Everybody knows it’s alright."

10) Just Go - SONAMOO

"I’ll take a step toward the world
Forget all the hardships, let it go
You can do it, make your dreams come true
I Just Wanna Tell U
Dreams Come True
Even if they say it’ll be hard, I have no fear
I’ll break down the walls of reality"

11) Goodbye - BAP

"Take in a deep breath and let it out

You can do it,

Keep walking toward your hopes

That can be reached

Don’t stop in this shadow of the world

You are more free than anyone else

Failure is what makes me stronger

Fear is what makes

Me run – watch me now"

12) 막을올리며 - EPIK HIGH

"I survived it. I was lifted up then came down
What built up wasn’t stress but mileage
The world said, “The show’s over”
With cold smiles and sneers – Everyone pretending
They can’t hear me. And I came through."

13) So Far Away - August D

"Dream may all of creation be with you til the end of your life**
Dream wherever you are, will welcome you
Dream may your trials end in full bloom
Dream though your beginnings might be humble, may the end be prosperous"

14) It's Okay - BTOB

"Are your shoulders heavy?
It’s not easy to put down heavy baggage
Someone said that when feel your dreams are
getting far away – You should take a break"

15) ICARUS - JJ Project

"Without fail, I’m dreaming again today
As if I’m free like I’m flying in the sky
As if I can reach if I hold out my hand
I’ll flap my wings harder, even if I’m scared"

16) Into the New World - Girls' Generation

"Don’t wait for a special miracle
There’s a rough road in front of us
With unknowable future and obstacles, I won’t change
I can’t give up"

17) Wake Me Up - BAP

"Even if there’s a delay, I keep walking
Throw away your worries
In that reality, benefits are like butter
Yeah wake me up
I’m spreading my new self out, what"

18) I - Taeyeon

"But strong girl, you know you were born to fly
Tears you’ve cried,
all of the pain you’ve felt
for the day you’ll fly even higher,
It’s to prepare you. Butterfly,"

19) I'm All Ears - Taeyeon 
"I’m worried that you’re trying to stand up
Have a little more strength
I’m always here for you"

20) Grow Up - Stray Kids 

I would literally quote this entire song but heres the is instead lol

I Follow a Sunny's Channel Makeup Tutorial but with drugstore products lol

HI INTERNET

Recently there's been a "I follow a (Youtuber's Channel Name)'s ___ Tutorial" going around youtube and yaknow i aint about to miss out so here's the "i follow someone's tutorial" that no one asked for lets start

So first off I chose Sunny's Channel because I haven't seen anyone follow her tutorials yet and i'll say this and I will say it again: her tutorials are through the f*cking roof. She makes glam looks wearable that can be worn as every day looks and she really knows how to mix colors. In this video she blends black/navy blue/grey shimmer colors with pink and honestly if i did that it would look like absolute
t r a s h 

Here is the look that I'm creating. She calls this the "Fall Soft Grunge Look in English AYYYYY" so thats what i will call this look.

She starts off with foundation and she used the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation which i do NOT have because I've tried it and it oxidized on my skin. Sunny and I have completely opposite skin types so I mean thats bound to happen lol. The finish of the foundation looks satin and luminous but also full coverage so I used the Wet N Wild Photofocus foudation in #BuffBisque mixed with the Covergirl Stay Luminous foundation in #BuffBeige. 

She then uses the Kevin Acoin Super Natural Concealer but I used the maybelline Better Skin Concealer in #Light because thats the concealer that Sunny also raves about in her earlier tutorials. (also im broke af lol but the Kevin Acoin concealer looks BOMB on her skin)

She then starts filling her brows with the Benefit KaBrow! which I don't have because mine got crusty so I used the Ulta Beauty Brow Pomade in #WarmBrown

So after the foundation and brow, she whips out the ABH modern renaissance palette and uses the shade #goldenocher. I recently purchased the Beauty Creations Irresistible Eyeshadow Palette to try out (its a popular dupe for the Modern Renaissance) and I used the color #TouchMe and put it all over the lid for a nice base to blend the eyeshadow on 

Next she used 'burnt orange' in the ABH palette on the outer corners towards the upper middle of her crease and I used the Colourpop's '#crisscross instead because my ABH dupe didn't have enough color payoff imo. We did use the same shader brush tho ayyyy

She deepened the colors with a burgundy shade in the ABH palette in which I used the colourpop eyeshadow in #StayGolden. The colourpop shade is a bit more cool toned but iit still looks uper cute. She also put this color on the lower lash line and tbh thats the part that sold me i was like 'should i do this look?' but when she added the touch in the lash like i was like aw hell yeah 

 

This is that part that took a wild turn in my look. She whips the Juvia's Place palette (which is honestly???? the most beautiful palette in the world) She takes a peachy shade to blend out the harsh lines in her look while I used the shade #Roxy in the ABH Subculture palette

Okay this is where it gets wild (i said that like 12 times already lmfao) she takes a dark grey shimmer with blue, black shimmers and red and purple undertones (the color is unimaginable until you see it lol) on the lid to the crease and obviously i dont h a v e a colour like that so i put my paint mixing pants on and mixed the dark grey shimmer color in my NYX "i Dream on Barbados" palette with the shade #Axis in the ABH subsulture palette 

She takes a bright sienna color to the lower lash line and honestly?? that pop of colro??? phenomenal. I used the bright orage in the NYX Ultimate Brights Palette mixed with #Criss Cross (burnt oragne)From Colourpop

She then takes a burgundy gel liner on to the lower lash line and honestly never have burgunday eyeliners because I use liquid lipsticks for that. I used the _____ mixed with the essence ipstick in _____

and right when I thought the tutorail was over, she takes a shimmer color on the pink and honestly idk how she thought of that but it looked pretty damned good so props to her 

I took a pinky-gold shimmer from the ABH renissacne dupe in the shade #loveletter a (and although the matte shades are lacking pigment BIG time, the shimmer shades make up for them) 

I then added the colourpop Supper Shock shadow in #Amaze because I wanted a little more gold on the lids. She also put it in the center of the lower lash line and inner corners.

 

She takes the Creer Beaute liquid liner and wings the eyes which I did but with teh Macqueen liquid liner from Yesstyle 

She takes the House Of Lashes in #Siren for falsies and I used my .79$ eyelashes from Amazon lol

Then she uses the Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara for her lower lashes. I used the Loreal Lash Paradise 

For blush she uses Hervana by Benefit 

then the sweet tea bronzer by too faced 

For highlihgter she uses the Becca Light Chaser Highlihgter which is a very pinky highlighter
(I used the Wet N Wild Highlighter in Precious Petals)

For the lips NARS Powder matte lip pigment #get it on

then gives it some dimension with NARS Audacious lipstick in #Janet

And this is the completed look!!! I think the eyes turned out really cute and the lips don't really match in color but i'd say this was a "I followed Sunny's Channel's make up but with a drufstore twist" (tbh i think the lips would totally match if I used my Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in #Tres Chic which is a very wearable deep berry color
