If you want to see more of my blogs don't forget to subscribe on the home page. I would totally appreciate your support and it would help me get out there for more people to see my thoughts and learn to enjoy makeup as much as I do.
I have been wanting to get back to a look I wore a couple of weeks ago that was silver and today I took that leap. It is using a brand that I haven't heard a ton about W7 and I bought the palette Colour Me Buff eye shadow palette on Amazon. I am not sure why I haven't heard much about it from any of the YouTubers I follow or maybe I have and it just isn't a highly mentioned brand. The palettes in terms of the packaging remind me a bit of the Urban Decay palettes. They come in a sturdy metal (?) countainer and are super secure when they are shut. I love the color combination that comes in this palette and the shadows went on super nicely and blended well. I did have to build them up some but for the price $12.95 it definitely exceeded my expectations.
The shadows do kick up some powder but none of it is significant and there is minimal fallout on the face when you apply this shadow. I have just made eye shadow the first part of my daily routine so I am not getting any eye shadow stuck in my foundation or any face products that I have to deal with. I also have another one of their palettes, Colour Me Nude, and I have only used that once but I am noticing similar things in terms of quality and I can't wait to try it out more. I still haven't made the leap to purchase a higher end eye shadow palette or really any higher end product and I don't know if or when I will do that. I have just found that there are so many great drugstore brands and products that spending the money at this point isn't necessary for me. I think that if I were to get a higher end product it would either be the Hourglass Vanish Stick Foundation (although I do have my eyes on the new stick foundation coming out from PUR) or an eye shadow palette from Lorac or Anastasia Beverly Hills.

My look held up super well today throughout the day. In person I could still clearly see all my face products and they still looked really fantastic and the highlighter had such a great glow. The foundation was looking pretty good other than where I rubbed my chin because it was itching and some of the product looked patchy there. The lipstick from elf needed to of course be applied a couple of times but the color was very moisturizing and had such vibrant color and didn't leave my lips feeling dried out. I still think I would like to wear these with a thin layer of gloss to maybe help hold the color a bit though.
Revolution Beauty ,aka. Makeup Revolution, was having a special gift with purchase on their website due to having reached 1 Million subscribers on Instagram so I took this opportunity to purchase a few things. I got my proper shade in their super hyped and talked about concealer and picked up a few things from their sale area that I wanted to try out. Pics of everything I picked up are above! Saturday is usually a no makeup day here so I am going to try to wrap up my favorite YouTubers series and work on some other posts for later this week!
