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

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Must Have Nail Polish for Spring!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and  I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
