Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Morphe x Madison Beer Channel Surfing Artistry Palette that I picked up last month. I have seen a lot of good reviews of this palette and have wanted to pick it up for a while. This palette was already very affordable to begin with. However, Ulta had it on sale so I was able to get it for even less and use some of my Ulta points toward the purchase. After all the discounts and points I believe that I got this for about $7.00.

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to review the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill The Eye Master Collection. I didn't jump on this collaboration when it first launched. I have so many brushes and just didn't feel like I needed more. However, I recently had a Ulta gift card, took advantage of the 20% off coupon, and  decided to pick this up. Keep reading to learn more about this collection and to hear my thoughts!

 This brush collection was hand picked by Jaclyn Hill and includes her favorite eye brushes. She also came out with a face collection too which you can check out HERE. Both sets are exclusive to Ulta.

Hey Guys,

Last week I discussed Morphe's 8W Warm Master Palette that you can check out HERE. This week I am back to review two of the Morphe Blushing Babes Trios. Keep reading to learn more about these trios, see swatches, and to hear my thoughts on them!

Here is what is said on the Ulta site about this product:

"Show your true colors with this collection of Morphe Blushing Babes Blush Trio's for your most flattering flush. Give your cheeks a little pink-me-up with creamy mattes and silky, shimmery satins. This collection of sassy blush trios in sweet shades slays every look with a blendable formula and wearable, oh-so-you shades"

Morphe Babes Blushing Babes Trios in Pop of Coral $12.00

Pop of Coral:

• Boss (matte melon)
• Fierce (glimmering vibrant coral)
• Unapologetic (matte burnt ginger)

These colors are super pretty! I have been using this palette more than the Pop of Rose. Boss has been a little light for me as I have been pretty tan. However, as my tan fades it will show up better on my skin. Unapologetic is my favorite color from this duo. Its such a pretty neutral shade and I love matte blushes. Fierce gives a pretty glow but its not as pigmented or soft as the shimmer blushes in the 8W palette.

Hey Guys,
I've been pretty busy lately and just couldn't find the time to sit down and film a May Favorites and Flops video.

Review: Morphe 24G Palette

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Morphe 24G palette. I originally wanted the Morphe 39A palette but it was limited edition and sold out on both the Ulta and Morphe sites. When this palette came out, I thought it was nice but wanted to wait until it was for sale on the Ulta site so that I could take advantage of my rewards and their coupons. I recently picked it up during the Ulta 20% off sale and am reading to share my thoughts!

Morphe 24G Grand Glam Palette $29.00

Here is what is said about this palette on the Morphe site:
"Rock endless looks with the Morphe 24G Grand Glam Eyeshadow Palette, featuring 24 crazy-creamy, powerfully pigmented eyeshadows. Day or night, wet or dry, these neutral and bronze shades go the distance. And since a Morphe Babe loves to play, Morphe sized these matte and metallic wonders up 2.2x for double the pleasure."

Morphe's website also gives some tips for using these shadows:

"DOUBLE DUTY 

These eyeshadows can give you a highlight high that works with your complexion
Glazed (fair-to-light skin tone)
·         Crystal (medium skin tone)
·         Dream (medium-to-dark skin tone)

Bronze OR contour with:
·         Creamer (fair-to-light skin tone)
·         Frenchy (medium skin tone) 
·         Mojo (medium-to-dark skin tone)
PRO TIP: Glitz not only provides a pop of color for your eyes, it also can werk as a blush!"

Tutorial: Fall Inspired Makeup Look

Hey Guys,

This look was supposed to be featured in a Fall look book with some other bloggers but the plans fell through. I would normally do a makeup tutorial video but since I already created this look, took pics, and wrote out a tutorial, you are going to get an old fashioned step by step tutorial this time around!

I wanted to create a look that screams fall. I love warm tones and orange/reds remind me of the leaves changing color in the fall. I decided to use the  MorphexJaclyn Hill Palette because there are tons of colors in this palette that give me inspiration for this look. Another great palette that you could to create a similar look is the Morphe 35O Nature Glow Palette.

Tutorial: Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette Easy Green Smokey Eye

Hey Guys,
I recently did a makeup collab on Instagram with fellow beauty influence @khadijageorge_ . We both created fall makeup looks using the Jaclyn Hill Palette (you can check out my review of the palette HERE). I decided to film a tutorial as well so that you can see how I created the look. The look that I created was an easy green smokey eye. Check out the video below!

July Favorites

Hey Guys,

I'm a bit late on posting my favorites for July but still wanted to get a video filmed. I just got back from Mexico last week. It was so relaxing and the weather and resort were beautiful. We did a day trip to Isle Mujeres where we took a catamaran to the island. We did some snorkeling and swimming off the boat and then docked on the island for some shopping. It was a great trip but I am happy to be home. Whenever I go on vacation I always end up missing home a bit. Check out my video below to see what I was loving for the month of July! I have some exciting news that I discuss in the video as well. 

Review: MorphexJaclynHill Palette

 Hey Guys,
I'm super excited to share my thoughts on the MorphexJaclynHill palette! At first, this palette didn't interest me that much but just like everyone else, I hopped on the band wagon once I saw the swatches. Even though it was a bit pricey for a Morphe palette, I justified my purchase since they claimed this palette contains all new formulas. I also feel like I don't really own a palette quite like this. Below I will discuss my thoughts, share some swatches, and show you some looks that I created with this palette.

 

Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette $38.00

 This palette is currently out of stock but Morphe has confirmed that they will be restocking it on 7/18 at 8 am PST. However, it is limited edition so it will only be around for a limited time.

November Favorites

Hey Guys,

I can't believe how quick November has come and gone! My holiday shopping is almost done and I have to start wrapping! That is my least favorite part of Christmas shopping. I am super excited to celebrate Christmas with my family; especially my nephews who are 6 and 2 years old. My youngest nephew is just beginning to understand "Santa" and that we will be bringing gifts to him if hes a good boy. He just got Elf on the Shelf but doesn't quite understand that yet haha. I have time off after Christmas and am looking forward to some relaxation. Anyways..back to my November favorites...

Check out my video below to hear what I was loving last month!

3 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY!!!

Hey Guys,
My 3 Year Blogiversary was back in September. I wanted to do a giveaway but never got around to buying the prizes until now. I just wanted to thank all my readers for supporting my blog and YouTube channel over the past 3 years. I have had the opportunity to discover some really great products and brands.

Review: Morphe 35O Palette

Hey Guys,

As many of you know, Morphe has blown up in the beauty/blogger industry due to their relationships with big time beauty bloggers like Jaclyn Hill and Manny. They have helped spread the word about Morphes amazing brushes and eyeshadows. Recently released was the Morphe 35O palette which quickly sold out. They got more stock in recently and I was lucky enough to place and order and have it filled. I have been using this palette non stop! Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette and to see some looks that I have created with it.

Here are swatches of the shadows:

Crease: Row 3 Column 5 & Row 4 Column 5

Inner Corner: Row 1 Column 3

Lower Lash Line: Row 4 Column 4 & Column 5

Overall I am really loving this palette! All of the shadows are super pigmented and blendable. They do have some fallout in the pan due to the fact that they are so soft. I haven't had any fallout on my face when using the shadows. This palette is very warm with a BUNCH of similar different browns. There are many similar colors but that is obvious just by looking at the pictures of the palette. I tend to gravitate towards neutrals and browns so that really doesn't bother me. If you aren't into warm or neutral tones then I would skip on this palette. It is a GREAT palette for the fall. Plenty of burnt oranges, reds, and browns. I would recommend this palette to anyone that is into those types of colors. The next palette that I plan to get is the Morphe 35K palette which has a more diverse range of colors.

Review: Morphe Brushes

Hey Guys,

I picked up some Morphe Brushes at IMATS and wanted to share my thoughts on them. Keep reading to hear more!

M460 1 1/2" Flat Contour $13.99

This brush makes it super easy to contour and blend right below your cheekbones.

M439 Deluxe Buffer

This is a good brush for applying foundation. It gives a nice and even application however, I prefer the E6 over this brush.

E6 Premium Flat Buffer $14.99

This is a great brush for applying foundation and helps give a more full coverage look. It gives a flawless look and is super soft. The only negative thing that I have noticed is that these types of brushes are very hard to clean thoroughly. The foundations cakes onto the hairs and causes the brush to be clumpy. I have a really hard time getting all of the foundation out of the brush.

M107 Jumbo Powder Dome $8.99

This is a great powder brush. It distributes power evenly and is very dense and fluffy. I have been using this brush everyday since I purchased it.

Overall, I was happy with the Morphe Brushes that I purchased. My favorites are the M107 and the E6.  I think that they are definitely worth their price tag. 

Have you tried any Morphe Brushes? What are your favorites? Post your comments below!
