Face Friday: More Toy Aisle Inspiration Feat. A Blume Doll & The Glamlite Ice Cream Dreams Palette!
Welcome to another Face Friday post, Champagne Dreamers! I know that fall is upon us; we just had Halloween and Christmas is already starting to explode into the world all around us, but I am never not in the mood for a springy, pastel look! I had so much fun creating previous Face Friday looks using Color Reveal Barbies as inspo (I you missed those looks, you can find them HERE, HERE, and HERE!) that I decided to take another trip down the toy aisle! Recently, my doll-lovin’ friend (and YouTube cinematographer) Angie introduced me to...
read moreGlam Ghouls 2020: Is Peachy Queen’s Halloween Palette A Sweet Dream…Or A Beautiful Nightmare?!
Hello again Champagne Dreamers, and welcome to my final Halloween-themed makeup review of 2020! What a shit year this has been, so it only seems appropriate that the performance of this last palette is…less than ideal. Don’t get my wrong: I generally like Peachy Queen, and I have quite a few of their palettes (you can check out some of my previous reviews of their products HERE, HERE, and HERE!) but this Sweet Dreams palette was just not the business. I got a fairly decent look out of it for my last Face Friday post, and as...
read moreFace Friday: Miss Jaye Makes Your Halloween Nightmares Come True, Feat. Peachy Queen!
Hello again Boils & Ghouls – I’m back with another frighteningly fierce Halloween makeup look! Whether you’re spending Halloween alone in bed, alone on the couch, or alone crying in the tub and eating all of those fun size Snickers bars, this Nightmare on Elm Street inspired look featuring two Peachy Queen palettes is just what the sleep doctor ordered! I love red and green together, and it’s very NOES, but it’s hard to do a red and green look without looking like some sort of Christmas monstrosity. And...
read moreCan Melt Cosmetics Convince This Grouchy Gen Xer To Embrace Millennial Pink?
When it comes to packaging and color stories, Melt Cosmetics just kinda gets me. Their packaging is different with every release, but it’s always well designed and often gorgeous: whether you loved or hated the quality, every person on the planet mentioned how stunning the Amor Eterno palettes packaging was! The She’s In Parties palette has a simple, elegant design while the Radioactive palette is neon and bright and shimmering with glitter. Some products include interesting and often intricate embossing (it ranges from a...
read moreGlam 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...
read moreFace Friday: Witchy Woman Done Two Ways, Feat. BH Cosmetics’ Drop Dead Gorgeous Collection!
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...
