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

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

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 problems, stuff
