Chasing Rainbows: Using the ColourPop BYOP Sale To Build The *Perfect Rainbow Palette
*Ok, maybe not perfect; without being able to see the shades in person, I made a couple of not-so-great choices, but still pretty damn good! I’ve been buying from ColourPop for a while, but I’ve never gotten in on their “Build Your Own Palette” sale before – normally I just buy one of the low prices palettes that they have available, and if I don’t 100% love the color selection I depot and rearrange to my heart’s content. I made the Mar and Sol palettes into actual blue and orange/yellow palettes to...
read moreNeon Dreams: ColourPop’s Festival-Ready Collection
I love neon makeup, and I love that it seems to be a trend right now. Ruby May Cosmetics recently put out their Street Art palette and Blush Tribe recently ran a pre-order for their new Neon palette, and I’ve got my eyes on both of those little lovelies. And of course, you know that ColourPop had to get in on the action! Just before Coachella they released a collection of “Festival Ready” favorites including a 12 pan palette, all available as singles as well, that featured 4 pressed neon pigments and 8 pressed glitters. ...
read moreThey’re Not Bad, They’re Just Drawn That Way: ColourPop x Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette
When I did my reviews of the Cruella, Maleficent, and Ursula collections from the recent ColourPop X Disney Villains collab, I mentioned that I had also had the Misunderstood palette from that collection. Since then, I’ve ordered more from ColourPop (a sort of natural extension of them releasing products every 15 minutes!) so I decided to dedicate this week to releases from ColourPop; look for more CP products to be reviewed on Wednesday and Friday of this week. As for now, let’s dive into the Misunderstood palette. First,...
read moreSnuggle & Smoke Up With The OMFG Cosmetics Valentine and Kush Palettes
As part of my low buy (updates coming on that little situation – stay tuned!), one of my goals was to shop from more indie brands and I also couldn’t help but feeling a little bit jealous of the “mystery box” craze that was sweeping the beauty space at the end of last year and into this year. So I was super excited when an indie brand I first discovered last fall, OMFG Cosmetics, was giving us their own spin on the Mystery Box, I decided to snag one of the bigger boxes. If you want to see all the goodies that were...
read moreBleeding True Blue: Jeffree Star Stans Come Out Full Force For Blue Blood Palette
Sorry for the delay in getting this review out to you, but as with almost anything Jeffree Star, this product took forever to ship. Seriously. I’m writing this review on April 17, the day I placed my order, and I ordered the palette the day that it came out, March 29. I know, I know – he got robbed, and it was a huge launch, and this, and that, and whatever. I sort of understand, but that doesn’t make it ok. He’s always talking about all of the different warehouses he has and how he’s bringing on extra...
read moreColourPop’s Disney Villains Collection: Ursula
Alright princesses, time to get this last little bit of evil out of our systems: we’re here for the final review in my mini-series on the ColourPop Disney Villains collab. And this time I’m looking at my all time favorite villain, Disney or otherwise: the sassy, curvaceous, Divine-inspired sorceress from under the sea, Ursula! I absolutely love this character, so it was a no-brainer that I was going to buy this collection, but does the makeup live up to its namesake? I love her style and her look, and the way she slunk around...
read moreColourPop’s Disney Villains Collection: Maleficent
Well, we’re back for round 2 of the Disney Villain collections from ColourPop, and this time we’ve got the villain who is the least comedic – I remember seeing this movie in the theatre as a kid and being scared shitless by the one and only Maleficent! I’ll confess that I didn’t see the live action version with Angelina Jolie, but I’m glad that this wicked woman is getting some much needed attention and character development. I’ve always loved the look of the character, with her over the top makeup...
read moreColourPop’s Disney Villains Collection: Cruella
This post is going to be the first, but certainly not the last, review of ColourPop products coming up in the next couple of weeks. I went a little crazy; low buy be damned. I decided to start it off with reviews of the kits from the Disney Villains collection, and the first up is none other than canine-couture enthusiast, Crulle DeVil. I like this collection because I generally enjoy this very classic, elegant look – a red lip and a little bit of gold shimmer or glitter. That used to be the holiday collection that every damn brand...
read moreMiss Jaye Is Back With The Renovation Episode 5 – Nobody’s Perfect!
It’s been a hot minute, but Miss Jaye is finally back at it again with another episode of Miss Jaye: The Renovation – Episode 5, Nobody’s Perfect! Focusing on Jason Gay’s book of advice Little Victories: Perfect Rules for Imperfect Living, provided to Miss Jaye by her bestie Angela of Beautiful Eccentric. Miss Jaye and Angie have been friends for well over a decade and know each other very well, so obviously she would pick a book that would be specially chosen for Miss Jaye’s personality and tastes…right? ...
read moreGoing, Going…Gone! 3 Beauty Brands That Did The Disappearing Act
I had been thinking about doing a version of this post for a while with two beauty brands that sort of fell off the map, but I never got around to it. I decided to revisit the idea this past weekend when I discovered that yet another beauty brand seemed to be dropping off the face of the planet, without any notice. The site is still currently live (as I’m writing this), but Tyra Beauty definitely seems to be on the way out and I couldn’t find any official announcements or confirmations. Just a site full of products that are all...
