Juvia's Place The Saharan Blush Palette Volume II

Juvia's Place has very quickly become a highly sought after brand, thanks to Instagram, some highly influential YouTubers and some crazy pigmented shadows. When they launched the blush palettes I was super excited, I love blush and as a brand that caters to women of colour these caught my eye. 

Juvia's Place Blush Palette Volume 2

I purchased the Juvia's Place Saharan Blush Palette Volume 2, it retails for $18 USD. I'm Canadian so of course I had to pay $9 shipping, total cost was $25 USD, not outrageous for a blush palette, especially because I hoped the quality would be great, just like their shadows.

Juvia's Place Blush Palette Volume 2 contains 6 shades, 4 mattes and 2 shimmers. All blendable and incredibly pigmented, use a light and and build to your desired look. My personal favourite is the shade Tao. Sola and Zoba make great blush toppers and all shades make great eyeshadows as well!

Dior Metalizer Eyes and Lips Cream Shadow Review

Dior Fall 2017 makeup collection has arrived! I'm always so excited for Dior makeup launches, there's always some exciting new things and extensions on old favourites. The Dior Metalizer Eyes and Lips Cream Shadow is some of the newness. See them in action in my Dior Fall 2017 Makeup Try-On Video. 

Dior Metalizer Cream Shadow Review

The Dior Metalizers Cream Shadows come in 7 shades and retail for $25 USD. They have a soft, creamy formula with no glitter or chunks just a metallic finish. They are not full of pigment, but are not sheer either. I also make use of these in my video as a cream highlight and it works well. These are super versatile. The Dior Metalizer for Eyes and Lips are limited edition, so if you were curious to try I'd jump on it sooner than later! 

Dior Metalizer Platine Fusion, Dior Metalizer Copper Power

"It's ultra-pigmented formula lights up eyes and lips with metallic shine. Inspired by professional makeup artistry and designed as an intuitive take-anywhere product, this ingenious tube houses metal-effect pigments encapsulated in an ultra-creamy, quick-drying texture with a weightless feel for lasting results."

GIVENCHY Noir Interdit Mascara - Givenchy Bend Mascara

Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara Review

Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara aka. Givenchy Bendable Mascara. This mascara launched recently and has been added to Givenchy's extensive line of mascaras. It is incredibly unique, it's bendy! It bends at a 90 degree angle to help coat each lash for ease of use. 

Givenchy Bendable Mascara Review

They Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara retails for $38 CAD on Sephora. It has a plastic bristle brush that is meant to define the lashes and create volume. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, it looks and feels incredibly luxe. It's formulated without parabens but has a very strong scent. One that lasts on the lashes, not exactly a positive point in my books. 

Givenchy Bend Mascara

For me, it definitely defines the lashes and adds length but the volume thing is a stretch. It doesn't add the amount of volume that I prefer in a mascara. That being said, mascara is so subjective and what works for me may or may not work for you. I do like the brush and the "bendiness" of it, really allows me to tackle the inner and outer corners. 

Givenchy Bendable Mascara Review

I do like the results, my lashes look great, long, feathery BUT I need more volume. If this didn't have a luxe price tag I could give it a pass but I have drugstore mascaras that give me the combination of volume and length I love. As I said though, mascara is so personal you could love it!

Too Faced Just Peachy Eyeshadow Palette Review

Too Faced Just Peachy Velvet Matte Eyeshadow Palette 

On August 30th, Too Faced launched the Just Peachy Velvet Matte Eyeshadow Palette. This preceded the rest if of the Too Faced Peaches and Cream Collection launch on August 31st. I could not resist picking this palette up. PEACHY AND MATTE UM HELLO! If you'd like to see the palette in action I have a Too Faced Just Peachy Review/ 3 Looks 1 Palette going live on my YouTube Channel at 7am EST on September 4th. 

Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette Review

The Too Faced Just Peachy Palette retails for $55CAD/$45 USD and contains 12 shades in some pretty gorgeous packaging. It has a very strong peach scent, more so than the Sweet Peach Palette, but it does not linger on the eyes once you've applied. All of the shades in the palette seem consistent in quality, however the shade "Peach Sangria" is not matte, it's a satin .. not sure why ... it's a gorgeous shade but this palette claims to have 12 matte shades. No biggie though. My only small qualm with the Too Faced Just Peachy Eyeshadow Palette are the shades "Peach Butter" and "Peach Meringue", they are perfectly fine cream shades with 2 different undertones. Problem being they look essentially the same if not the same on the eyes so it's a missed opportunity for another great peach variation. 

Too Faced Peachy Matte Eyeshadow Palette Review

Overall I really like the Too Faced matte peach palette, the shades are beautiful, the selection is great and I think it's versatile even though it's matte. The shadows are not super powdery, but still pigmented and blend well. They all seem to hold their colour when on the eyes and blended together. Especially "Peaches and Cream" I expected that to blend away to nothing but not the case.
