pixi + ITSJUDYTIME Eyeshadow Palette Review + Swatches

I know that neutrals eyeshadows have been out in the market for some time, but this is probably the most versatile and high quality palette I've tried in a long time! If you haven't heard the news yet, pixi is now available in Canada! I would describe the brand as having a line up of products that lets you achieve a polished fresh faced look.

They recently released a few products in collaboration with big Youtubers and this eyeshadow palette was done with ITSJUDYTIME. The quote from her on the back of this palette was "I love having just one go-to eyeshadow palette for all occasions! This one contains all my favorite colours and effortlessly takes me from day to night". Although I've never really followed her, I have heard she puts a lot of time and effort into her videos and gives thoughtful reviews.

Stila One Step Primer and One Step Correct Review

I feel like this is the year of the primers as every brand seems to be coming out with more variations. I have personally been loving wearing primers without foundation as it provides a sticky base for other powder products to stay!  I have dry skin so I love that primers these days have been trending towards the moisturizing texture instead of the silicone texture. Today I have two new primers from Stila to introduce to you!

NYX Lip Lingerie Review & Swatches

NYX has so many cult favorite lip products, and I finally got the chance to try their Lip Lingerie line! There are 24 shades of nudes and these are the perfect products to get that Kardashian full lip look! I have two shades today that I will show you swatches of and review the formula of the product!

The packaging is in a classic clear tube with a black cap. It's a pretty classic NYX design that's simple and black and white. The applicator is a sponge tip that is typical of liquid lipsticks. The first thing I noticed was that these are highly pigmented! Even the light shade had full coverage over my lips. I have pretty pigmented lips so I was very impressed by how these colors showed up.

Zoella Beauty - Jelly & Gelato

If you watch beauty videos, you most likely have heard of Zoella. I swear when I first started reading beauty blogs in high school circa 2009, I followed her blog when she only had a few thousand followers! Or I'd like to think I "knew about her before she's famous". She now has 11 million followers on Instagram, ah!

Anyways, she now has her own beauty line and the Jelly & Gelato collection launched in July 2017 and is available in Canada! There are 8 bath products and one matching makeup bag. I actually like that it's such a small range as I feel each product is quite different. I was sent the Shower Cream, the Shower Gel, and the Bath Wafers for testing!
