Glam Ghouls 2020: Alien Cosmetics Wants You To Get Abducted…By Color!
I’m a little sad that there aren’t more Halloween makeup collections this year…or that some of the launches of those collections were such epic clusterfucks (I’m looking at you, ColourPop!). I’m a huge fan of Halloween-themed makeup and I love it that more brands seem to be embracing the idea of having a holiday collection centered around spooky season! As I was thinking about what I wanted to review in October, I had a couple of palettes that have been sitting in my collection for a while, waiting to be...

Happy Spooky Season, my lovely Champagne Dreamers! I’m back with another Face Friday, and this time we’re playing with the BH Cosmetics Drop Dead Gorgeous Halloween collection that I reviewed this last Makeup Monday, and I’m creating a couple of creepy options that you could use to create your most Spooktacular witchy look for the big day! I was super excited to get to play with these products, and I even got to bring in one of the Milani Alter Ego Halloween products as well! If you liked that review or if you picked up...
read moreGlam Ghouls 2020: BH Cosmetics Does Halloween – But Is It Spooktacular, Or Terrifyingly Tragic?!
Welcome to another spooky Makeup Monday for the month of October! This week we have the Drop Dead Gorgeous collection from BH Cosmetics, and let me tell you: I have a lot of feelings! Before we get into it, let’s just start by saying that the collection is by no means terrible. I’ve owned terrible makeup in my day, and this isn’t it. But it’s definitely disappointing considering that this collection came out after the Sweet Shoppe palettes. Those palettes are amazing, and yes, they were expensive by BH Cosmetics...
read moreFace Friday: The Lighter Side Of Halloween, Feat. Glamlite & Lemonhead LA!
Hey there ghouls and boils, are you ready for the first of my kinda, sorta Halloween-themed Face Friday looks? I’m not great with special effects or character makeup, so for spooky season this year I decided to do some fun twists on my usual makeup looks to make them more appropriate for the upcoming high holy day! For this look, I wanted to play with the new Glamlite Cosmetics Ice Cream Dreams palette, so I created a loose, blended shadow look and took it over the top with a ton of glitter for a look that would be great for a unicorn...
read moreGlam Ghouls 2020: Milani’s Alter Ego Halloween Collection Is Pretty/Spooky
It’s spooky season again, Champagne Dreamers, and even though this year has been a real shitshow, I’m super excited! Even if I’m just painting my face to sit around my office or to watch scary movies in the Champagne Manor, I’m ready to get spooky and glam! I feel like I didn’t see very many Halloween collections this year, but I did manage to find enough ooky spooky options that we’ll be able to have one Halloween-themed review each Monday in October, starting with this one: Milani’s Alter Ego...
read moreFace Friday: 50 Shades Of Beige, The Sequel – 50 Shades Darker! Feat. THAT Infamous Palette…
Hello Champagne Dreamers and welcome back to another Face Friday! And not just any Face Friday: this week we are doing a sequel to one of my most unexpected makeup looks, 50 Shades of Beige! That look was inspired by Mama Champagne being a smartass in my comments section, but it was fun to get out of my normally very colorful wheelhouse and try something new. And when the infamous Jeffree Star announced that he was launching a 30-pan, all matte, all neutral eyeshadow palette called the Orgy palette (plus a 9-pan Mini Orgy of complementary...
read moreThe Juice Is Loose…But Maybe A Bit Behind Schedule? Coloured Raine’s Juicy New Collection
I feel like I’m always a little out of sync with the “cool kids” when it comes to Black-Owned Makeup Brand (BOMB) Coloured Raine: while everyone seemed to be starry-eyed over the Queen of Hearts palette, I just saw yet another interpretation of the Modern Renaissance palette, which was itself a derivative of the Lime Crime Venus I. I was feeling sort of meh about the Safari Raine palette while everyone was losing their goddamn minds about the launch and every subsequent restock. And now with the Juicy Boost palette, the...
read moreGet This Party Started: Melt’s Latest Palette Expands On The She’s In Parties Stack
Melt is at it again: after expanding their Rust and Radioactive stacks into palettes, they’re doing it again with the She’s In Parties stack. The idea is simple enough: take the 4 or 5 shades from the original stack, add new shades to double the number of colors, and put it into a palette for roughly the same price as the original stack. I haven’t tried the Rust palette, but I did pick up the Radioactive stack and found that while the new shades were a little tricky, it was an interesting palette. Now with She’s In...
read moreWas Beauty Bay Able To Capture The TRUE Power Of Makeup?
It’s been a few years since NikkieTutorials ventured into the world of eyeshadow…and that last foray, the Power of Makeup palette with Too Faced Cosmetics, has been a dark cloud that no one can seem to get rid of completely. But recently, Nikkie announced that she was once again partnering with a makeup company to produce an eyeshadow palette, and assured her viewers that this time would be different: this time would be a chance for her to reveal the palette that her audience wants and deserves, brought to you by UK-based brand...
read moreUrban Decay’s Stoned Vibes: Smooth Session Or Bad Trip?!
Remember when Urban Decay used to be the edgy, cool girl that everyone wanted to fuck with? I do. Those were the days. I used to have to go to head shops and find my way through the maze of skateboards and glass cases filled with bongs to look at lipsticks shaped like shotgun shells with names like Gash and Burnout and an amazing purple blue duochrome eyeshadow called Asphyxia that is still being created with new names by every brand out there to this day. There was something outsider about Urban Decay, and they used to be the go to brand...
