Going Coconuts Palette by ColourPop
SO. I think I have a new favorite neutral palette (and that's really saying something considering I have approximately one million neutral palettes; but hey, you can always use more, right?)

Seriously though, I recently picked up the Going Coconuts Palette by ColourPop, and I've been LOVING IT lately.

Before, I dive into the review I want to let you know that this palette retails for $12, includes 9 pans, and is available on ColourPop's website. It comes in ColourPop's hard plastic packaging, which isn't my favorite, but I can live with it. In terms of price, I think the cost is very reasonable considering the quality of these shadows.

I've observed that ColourPop always does a good job at delivering bang for your buck.

If you're familiar with ColourPop eyeshadows, you probably know that they have an excellent formula, especially for the price point.

Their matte shadows are super creamy and easy to blend (although they aren't the most pigmented shadows in the world). I should note that I sometimes find ColourPop shadows in brighter shades to be patchy and tough to work with, but, of course, you don't have that problem a neutral palette like this one.

I've always been impressed with ColourPop's shimmer shadows as well. They tend to be fairly pigmented and easy to apply, and you can't ask for much more from eyeshadows. Again, I think shimmer shadows in brighter colors are more difficult to work with, but that's the case amongst most brands, not just ColourPop.

In terms of shade selection, I'm also really happy with this palette. The shades in Going Coconuts tend to be more cool-toned, which is frankly refreshing when you look at the millions of warm-toned palettes on the market. I also think this palette delivers a nice mix of transition shades and darker shadows that can deepen a look; it's pretty versatile. My only complaint is that I wish there was one more mid-toned shimmer shade in this palette. Otherwise, it's golden in my opinion.

So, if you're looking for a new neutral palette, I recommend giving this one a second look. I'm pretty sure you'll "go coconuts" for it.

Final Rating: 9/10

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

By M.C. -

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m...

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

By M.C. -

A few months ago, I started a series called New to My Collection, in which I talk about products that I've recently added to my makeup collection and what I think about them. I didn't get a ton of new things in November, so some of these things are from October. However, I want to talk about them anyway and give you my thoughts. So, without further ado, here are some products that were new to my collection in November: Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender by L'Oreal - You can stick a fancy name on a makeup sponge, but it's still just a makeup sponge and that's what this is. Personally, I think this sponge is just okay. However, I should say that I prefer sponges with a flat edge. I think this sponge is a good size, has good density, and is very good about not soaking up all your makeup. It gives nice coverage and all of that jazz; I just wish it had a flat side. That being said, I think it's a great value for the money ($8) and I would recommend picking...
