Kevyn Aucoin Bloodroses Eyeshadow Palette

Fall is the absolute favorite season of mine cause along with the Pumpkin Spice Latte (basic!) and sweater weather I get to enjoy all the fun new fall makeup collections. Kevyn Aucoin's brand new Bloodroses Eyeshadow Palette is just what I needed this fall. I always had my eyes on the Bloodroses eyeshadow duo so when I saw a 5 pan palette was being launched I didn't think twice before hitting that order button. Let's start with the packaging, it's simply stunning I love the ombre effect with the gold trimming and inside the compact, there is a pretty decent size mirror. The eyeshadow palette is also perfect for traveling since it's very lightweight and compact.

This five pan palette is perfectly put together, it's a mix of mattes and shimmers which provide endless combinations to highlight, contour and define the eyes and it can transition easily from day to night. It's formulated with micronized powder pigments and pearls for a smooth application. You may use these eyeshadows as a sheer wash of color or use it with a damp brush to intensify the colors. The texture of these eyeshadows is ultra smooth and buttery which makes it very easy to blend, It's also very long lasting without any creasing or fading. All five eyeshadows are very pigmented but the shade Deep Plum was a little patchy, Garnet and Iced Chestnut was the easiest to work with. The matte shades are a little bit powdery which can cause fall outs but patting down the eyeshadow on the lids will help avoid the fall outs.

Cream- It's a matte vanilla shade, perfect for brow bone highlight.
Iced Chestnut- It's a shimmery taupe shade with a satin finish.
Dusty Rose- It's a beautiful soft pink shade with a matte finish.
Garnet- It's a gorgeous burgundy shade with a satin finish. This one is my favorite one out of all five eyeshadows.
Deep Plum- It's a deep rich plummy shade with a matte finish. I love the flecks of glitter in this shadow, even though you loose some of the shimmers during application it's not completely gone.

Now let's take a close look at all five eyeshadows and swatches!

Overall

If you own the Bloodroses eyeshadow duo or any other KA eyeshadows then you already know how amazing KA eyeshadows are. I truly love Kevyn Aucoin products and use them on a daily basis so for me, this palette was totally worth purchasing. The brilliant combinations of rosy burgundy shades were screaming must have to me. Let's be honest there is always room for another reddish burgundy eyeshadow palette to give you all the right fall vibes. If you are planning on heading to a KA counter soon be sure to check out this palette, also the new foundation they're launching which I have to get my hands on asap! Hope this review will help you make a decision. happy shopping!

Imats NYC 2016

Hey guys I attended Imats NY and I was so excited about this years Imats. I got to meet someone I really admire, I follow her tips and tricks on a daily basis. This year Lisa Eldridge did a live Q&A, I made sure I got there on time to catch her segment. She also did a book signing, which I almost missed but I made it just in time. If you haven't checked out her book yet please do, the cover alone caught my attention its a really good read.

As usual I was well prepared made my list ahead and I got everything off my list, except for one palette which was sold out. I didn't have Temptu on my list, however I was always curious about this little device. It was an impulsive purchase but I don't regret purchasing this at all, I love the idea of not having to use a brush. Which means less brushes to clean! I will test out this innovative little device before I come to a conclusion. Another brand I was excited about is Hakuhodo brushes, I love their brushes! I love the quality of these brushes its very soft and feels luxurious. I regret not purchasing more of their face brushes, next time I will definitely purchase a few more. Let's go ahead and look at the goodies but I must warn you this post is very pic heavy.
