First Impressions: The Nudes Palette by Maybelline



Hello everyone! 
It is finally Friday! Woot woot! I am officially out of school. So excited! But that is not the point! haha The point is that today I am doing my first first impressions! Now, this palette has been taking the beauty community by storm. So when I first saw a tutorial on it by shaaanxo. I love her and her tutorials. I think they are incredible. Anyways, because of her, the next day I got the palette and I am reviewing it for you today. 

Packaging!

I really like the packaging. I think it is a nice sleek compact palette. I think this would be a perfect palette for travel because it is small to put it in your travel bag. I also love that you can see the colors. Sometimes I hate that you can never see the colors in the palettes. But because you can see all the colors, there is no room for a mirror. Personally, I do not mind but some people may. 

Now on to the eye shadows!



So here are every single eye shadow that it is the palette. There are no names for each of the shadows. Now, some of these eye shadows are extremely pigmented as you can see. Unfortunately, some are not. The lighter eye shadows are not that pigmented unfortunately. Some of these colors you can barely see in the picture. I am really disappointed in those eye shadows. Those eye shadows are the ones that are extremely beautiful. Now I did not try to wet the eye shadows and then swatch them, so that might help with the pigmentation. Also, some of the swatches took one swipe. Others took at least 5 swipes before any pigmentation showed. 

My First Impression: 

I like this palette. I think some of the colors are absolutely gorgeous, others not so much. I also think that this palette is not needed in every ones collection. The reason why is because of the pigmentation. I mean if all the eye shadows were pigmented, than I would say, this is a must have palette. Also, this would be a perfect palette if the black was more opaque because you can then use it for liner. 

That is my opinion on this palette. I hope you all enjoyed this blog post. I enjoyed writing it. I hope you all have a wonderful day/evening. 

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health p...

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one.
