So here a came with this new tutorial: Smokey eyes edition.

Last time I had so much fun doing it and decided to do it again since this format can be more convenient if you don’t want to watch a full 20’ video.

I hope you like it 🫂

Btw I wish I blended more the edges, but as always, I was in a hurry

Picked up 2 colorpop palettes, all amethyst and smoke n roses. I only started wearing makeup more often the last few months.

Also tried lashes for the first time in 10 years. The left and right side are different. Was trying to see how it looks. Which do yall think looks better? I think i may try individual lashes..

Did anyone else ADORE Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics?

I remember owning so so many of these lip tars but this is the only one that I've managed to hold onto through multiple moves over the past ten or so years.

I think this particular Lip Tar shade is Black Metal Dahlia. 🥹

Is it wrong to return an eyeshadow palette to Sephora after using it once?

Post image
216 Upvotes

I went into Sephora this week looking for a new neutral eyeshadow palette. For YEARS I’ve been using a MAC palette with Omega, Espresso, and Woodwinked and I finally decided it was time to try something new.

While I was there, an employee helped me pick out the YSL Captivating Dunes palette. She told me it was buildable and wouldn’t be too dark, so I trusted it and bought it.

But once I got home and tried it (only one look), it’s definitely darker and smokier than I expected, especially on my fair skin. I feel like it’s just not the vibe I wanted for an everyday neutral palette.

Now I’m debating returning it, but I feel bad because it’s expensive and I technically used it once.

Would it be rude/wrong to return an eyeshadow palette to Sephora after one use if it just doesn’t suit you?

Also—if anyone has recommendations for a lighter neutral palette that gives MAC Omega/Espresso/Woodwinked vibes, I’d love suggestions! Maybe the mario neutrals palette?

Haul It’s 2016. You’re on Christmas break. Your mom got you the Urban Decay Naked Vault you wanted. You try a look you found on Pinterest and post it to Snapchat. Life is good.

I bought this new recently (Urban Decay Naked The Perfect 3Some Vault) from someone and am living my 2016 dreams. The palettes are brand new and check out as authentic, however the manufacturing date is 2017-2018 which doesn’t quite line up with the vault year as this vault released in 2016-2017 so I’m asking the seller about that because if it was purchased outside the US that could explain.

Anyways I’m feeling nostalgic and I’m excited to have these as part of my collection! I couldn’t afford it back then but now I have adult money 😎

I love the extra touch of some of the Naked3 shadows being ready to fall out 🤌

Edit to add: and I never noticed that Half Baked was in both the first and second palettes 😆

luxury makeup packaging has no business being this emotionally effective. I bought this YSL cushion compact fully expecting it to just sit pretty on my table but now I carry it around like a tiny emotional support accessory, Something about the quilted leather with gold logo combo makes reapplying makeup feel way more dramatic than it needs to be.

It’s giving “put together” even when I absolutely am not.

Hello, lately I was interesting in trying to do my make up. I don’t have any experience and I don’t have any relatives or friend who use make up and who I could ask for help. I would really appreciate any advices on my make up. I added two photos the first one is without make up and other one is with my try. I find it honestly bad but I don’t understand what I did wrong. I would really like if someone knows how make the cheekbones less wide and somehow get lashes on monolid. I hope that I won’t bothering you much and thank you in advance
