Pur Cosmetics Starry-Eyed eyeshadow Palette Set Review and Purple Brown Smokey Eye Look!

Hey girlies! So I recently purchased a PUR Cosmetics eyeshadow Palette and I am in love with the pigmentation of the shadows! Its perfect for the winter since it has gorgeous purples shades and dark brown and silver in it. I think purple and browns look so nice in the winter. I mean is that just me? But I really like dark brown and light brown eye shadows during the winter. I feel like there is no warmth outside so mine as well apply some warm colors on your eyes and it will look nice!
PUR Cosmetics Starry-Eyed Eyeshadow & Mascara Palette Set
**I used the Starry Eyed Eyeshadow and Mascara Palette Set.
I also used Inglot number 77 gel eyeliner &
NYX eyeshadow base.** (I do not have any mascara on in the picture.)


  1. First I applied my NYX eyeshadow base all over my eye lid with my index finger. 
  2. I took my Morphe blending brush and applied the shade called "icon" all over my crease. It is the lightest shade in the palette.
  3. Then I applied the "mystic" and "Virtue" all over my eyelids, in the center I applied more of the "virtue" shade. 
  4. In the Inner corner I applied "icon" and then I took a fluffy crease brush and applied "eternal" all over the crease. 
  5. I took an angled brush and smoked out my bottom lash line with the shade "eternal"
  6. I then applied my gel eyeliner with an angled liner brush 
There you have it! It is a simple soft purple and brown smokey eye look, that I really enjoyed creating! I usually wear this look when I go out these days because I am so into this palette! 

The pigmentation is amazing, the texture of the shadows is very soft and not chalky! This is my first Pur cosmetics purchase and I am glad I purchased this because now I know what to expect from PUR cosmetics! I purchased my palette in Kohls, the price was $15.00. I think that is a great deal considering that their other palettes are about $40-$30 dollar range. So I picked this baddie up and I love it! 
If you love purples then this is a great palette to add to your collection because its a cool toned palette. Though that last shade called "eternal" is a warm brown. But it is more cooler than warm. 

It didn't give me any fall out and it didn't irritate my eyes. 
The mascara also applied evenly throughout my lashes and it gave my lashes a flare. It lasted about 8 hours. The only think that made me think twice about the mascara was that it has alcohol in it, but besides that it was very pigmented and had a nice texture that wasn't to thick. 

texture: 10/10
pigmentation: 10/10
longtivity: 10/10
mascara: 9/10


Overall rating: 10/10

Soft Glam: NO Makeup, Makeup!

 Hey girls! So I thought about posting a soft glam look since this look is very chic and classy!

All you need is
1.  A light moisturizer
2. Your foundation
3. A mineral powder
4. Highlighter
5. Bronzer
6. Rose gold eyeshadow
7. Black eyeliner
8. Mascara
9. brow powder
10. Black eyeshadow
and 11. A nude lipliner and clear lipgloss


To start off for this soft glowing glam look, you should hydrate your face and make sure that your skin is moisturized, so I used my Cetaphil moisturizer all over my face.
Then I took my Mac Studio Sculpt foundation and applied it all over my face with a foundation brush.
I then applied my mineral powder from MAC all over my face to set the foundation.
Next I bronzed up my face and the hallows of my cheek for a natural contour. I used the Lorac tantalizer bronzer.
I took my makeup geek pigment in After Glow (as a highlighter) and applied it on top of my cheek bones and took it to the side of my forhead (lightly).
Now for the eyes, I primed them with the NYX base, then applied a rose gold pigment I have from Loreal. Then I took the Inglot number 77 gel eyeliner on a detail brush and smudged the liner on my lash line.
Next I took a black eyeshadow and smudged the liner so it can create a more diffused look, with no harsh line.
I did the same on the bottom lash line as well.
I then applied mascara, from Makeup forever.
To set my face I sprayed Makeup Forever setting spray all over.
I took my Loreal Dark Brown shadow and filled my brows.

Now for the lips, I filled them with Loreal lip pencil (nude pink shade) and then I applied a clear lipgloss from Essence.
I made sure I applied the liner all over my lips.

There you have it, its a simple no makeup, makeup look! This look is a beautiful classy look that will make you look flawless!

Stay tuned for more!
XOXO

**BH COSMETICS CONTOUR AND BLUSH KIT REVIEW**

Hey girls, hope everyone had an amazing month and happy holidays to all.
I recently purchased some goodies from BH Cosmetics! I really like Bh Cosmetics since their powders and eye shadows are highly pigmented and they are at a great price! Usually if you purchase makeup that is about $10-$20 dollars a kit you might think it is cheap, but after trying it out and giving it a shot, you can fall in love with how it looks on you. I believe its all about quality over quantity and the techniques of how you apply your makeup. If you can use any makeup and create a flawless finish to it, then its all about the skills you have. I believe in the technique of the artist. :)

This is my first contour kit from Bh Cosmetics, I also own their highlight kit as well. I really like the pigmentation of the powders. They are soft, and a little goes a long way. It can look cakey if you apply too much since its a pressed powder. They are matte and I am going to say, there are a bit chalky. The powder had a lot of fall out when I swirled my brush in it, so I had to give it a tap. I loved the blush shades, they are not too bright which I like. There is a white shade in that palette which is meant to set concealer and highlight areas. In flash photography you should be careful for applying too much of a white powder. Make sure to apply the yellow golden shade or the peach shade under the eye area if you are going to be in any photographs. I like all the colors, the white one is very bright and can make you look like a ghost if you apply too much. So be light handed when you are using this kit.   There are two blushes in the kit, as you can see the picture they are on the bottom. I really like the colors of the blushes, they are totally my colors. I like the muted rose and the deep tan blush too.
Just make sure not to go too close to your eyes, since it can irritate your eyes and cause itchiness.

If you are into a contour and blush kits, then this one is a must! Its perfect to also practice makeup and use it for special events. Compared to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, this one's packaging is better, and the texture is also softer.
I do like ABH though too since the powders are easy to blend and has no fall out like this one, but like I said, for an affordable contour kit, this is perfect!

I purchased this as BHcosmetics.com
Price: $12

Application: 8/10
Product: 9/10
Texture: 8/10
Pigmentation: 10/10

Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more! :)

**M.A.C Cosmetics Limited Edition Extra Dimension Skinfinish "Oh Darling" Review**

MAC's new limited edition highlighter is a very beautiful metallic gold color that has a yellow golden undertone. It has a gorgeous MAC insignia imprint, and the design looks pretty cool in my opinion.
When you dip your brush on the highligher and swirl it, you can see some reflective glitter. 

  • It has a metallic gold sheen to it with a great color payoff. It does not emphasize your pores, because the texture is soft and blendable. 
  • It is not powdery on the skin either. Which I really like. 
  • This highligher is pretty dramatic, it is not a subtle highlight. It looks gorgeous on yellow undertone people expecially who are more on the tan side, since it is a golden yellow shade. 
  • The dupe for this highlighter is ABH So Hollywood, since it is pretty much exactly the same color, but on the cooler side. This one is more warm and golden. If you love a metallic glow and want to your highlight to pop like no other, then this was a great choice. Unfortunarly it was limited edition but like I mentioned, Anastasia Beverly Hills So Hollywood is similar.
  • Another one I thought was kind of similar was Laura Geller Guilded Honey, it is light though, but it has a soft metallic golden glow. I honestly think MAC did a great job on creating such a beautiful highligher for people who love that golden glow! It lasted about 8 hours on my skin. 
  • The packaging was not that great for a $35.00 product since it felt like a cheap plastic but it wasn't that  bad either. 
  • I believe the price was too much for just a highligher but since this color is hard to find, and the metallic sheen is so pigmented, and its also limited edition, its worth it.
  • By the way, it is very pigmented!!! So, a little bit goes a long way.

Goldnineink Henna Tattoo Sheets Inspired by DressYourFace Review

Hey guys, I recently purchased the henna tattoos by Goldnineink.com that are inspired by DressYourFace (popular Indian makeup artist on Instagram). I wanted to share my thought on these henna tattoos.


On the right I applied some of the designs that were included in the sheets. The designs are very indian bridal inspired and they are very gorgeous. They are not sticky nor are they cheap looking like other temporary tattoos. These last you about 2 days. You can dip your hands in water but you shouldn't scrub or wash them harshly since that will remove the tattoo. The tattoos come in white, gold and black. I chose the gold and black ones.

These are very pretty looking and look amazing in photographs, but there was a downfall. I thought they would last me a good week but that was a dissapointment, it only lasted 2 days. and when I wore bangles they tattoos rubbed off. I do like these but snce these do not last a week, and only 2 days I do not think I will repurchase them any time soon.

PROS: Beautiful looking, people will ask you where they are from, they look amazing in photos, and you will be noticed. Have many tattoos included in the sheet.
CONS: Do not last long and rub off quick.


I hope my review helped you!
Stay tuned for more!

XOXO,
Naz
