I'm considering getting this palette, along with a couple other things. I'm much more sure about the other things, a toner I've already gotten and used up more than 3/4 of the bottle and would really like to keep with this one, as well as a mascara I've been loving a lot.
What do you all think of this palette? Is it worth it, or should I skip it?
It took a while for my extra box to ship, but after it did it took hardly any time for it to get to me which is very surprising since I'm in Canada. I got a few add ons this month, a couple morphe lip liners in dearest and honey, a couple glittery lip glosses, and the violet Voss eyeshadow. I also got the rodial vitamin C drops this month for rejoining last month. You'd usually get your free gift in your second month when they give you a free gift so I got my gift this month. If anyone's been using this for a bit could you let me know if it's really good, if you've seen any results from it.
​
I've added swatches from the lipglosses and liners as well as the eyeshadow. I noticed the colours on the back of the box look quite off compared to the actual eyeshadow for some of the colours so if it hits the shop and it's what someone might go off of it's going to lead people astray.
​
I included pics of the 2 different brands applicators for the lip products, the dark colour is the bellápierre, it suggests that you line your lips with the gloss then fill it in. This is the first time I've ever had one quite this thin, and one that suggests you to actually use the applicator as a liner too. It works quite well, and it's one of the only thin applicators that doesn't also feel very hard, it's really nice to use. The other one is the TYS lip butter, and it curves up quite a bit and is also really thin. It has a divot in the center which I find prevents me from adding too much to my lips and really gooping it on. The applicator is also insanely bendy, it makes it really move however you do which is nice but it kind of threw me the first time lol never had one bend quite so much. The lip butter is very thin in texture and not sticky at all, very much like a lip oil. I'd buy more of them for sure. The only downside I think there is is the container. It doesn't stand up on its own and doesn't fit in my lipstick holder along with the rest of my lip products. The package is so smooth and I've almost dropped the lid a couple times while using it, but maybe that one is just me, I've been known to be clumsy.
​
The bellápierre ones are very glittery and gorgeous 🥰 I have zero complaints about how they feel or look. The lighter pink one might've been a touch over full actually, after opening it it was a bit hard to put the applicator back in until I used it a few times.
​
I need to get a bit more use out of the rare blush before I know how I actually like it. I definitely need to build it up a bit, but I don't know how long it wears on me yet because I haven't tried to wear it all day.
​
The lip liners are quite nice and feel good, and I'm excited to get use out of the eyeshadow. I did order 2 but I only got sent 1. I've already contacted them and they've sent out another for me the other day. I got the tracking number already so hopefully I'll get it soon 🤞 the second one is going to a friend so I hope it hasn't sold out by the time I contacted them. I was told I'd end up with something else if it was sold out by the time they went to ship.
​
* I also haven't tried the dew of the gods cleanser yet, but hopefully I'll get around to it soon. I also already cleaned my brushes so I can try them out. They feel quite soft so I'm looking forward to using them too.
UPDATE: I contacted customer service yesterday through the bot, let the bot know my issue then asked for a person and they got back to me today. The first email they sent to me let me know that the palette is already sold out so they're sending me the full $25 back as a refund which is fantastic. I was a bit worried that I'd end up with another broken palette honestly so I'm happy it's sold out.
This palette was the whole reason I signed back up in May. My first palette came broken, I cleaned it up but the black was so spread out all over everything that I couldn't save it. After cleaning and the palette is still dyed black from the eyeshadow. It's definitely the blackest black...
I finally got my new replacement palette today. I opened it up very carefully and it was also very broken and super dirty all over the place. This time I'm not even quite so sure how the outside got more dirty than all the other eyeshadows. My first one was more of a mess on the inside than this.
This one's case is also dyed from the shadow on the front and back of the case. I've covered the black up to keep it in place and put it somewhere safe so I can hopefully press this one.
I got my bag today, and I really like everything I got. I swatched the highlighter in the side by side pic, the boldness on the fingertip and how sheer it can be on the side of my hand. It can be quite subtle. The pic of it on the website made me think it was more of a cream but it's a regular powder. That's ok though, Im not disappointed by it.
The next pic is a swatch of my lip liner and eyeshadow palette. I marked where the lightest shade of eyeshadow is swatched because I couldn't really see it. It definitely matches my skin colour which I do like having in a palette. It's a nice little neutral palette, though I saw they had 2 of these available, this is the one with the gold tone glitter and I think the other had a red one if I remember correctly. It was picked for me though I might have chosen the other even though I like the tone of brown in this a lot, I'm not a fan of gold.
I do really like the lip liner. It's very creamy and when I washed my arm it stayed on faintly so it likely has pretty decent lasting time when wearing it if it stands up to washing it off. Im not sure if I have a lipstick to match right now.
The setting powder is also very nice, super fine. It has a mesh on the top though I think compared to my last one the holes are quite big. I think I'm going to really like it though, it's way more fine than my last powder, it's definitely worth the purchase.
I'm also happy I got to try the Sol de Janeiro spray. It actually reminds me SO much of a body spray I used to use when I was a teen. I'm glad I got it too.
Since it was also time to toss my mascara I opened one of them up, and this one is great for lengthening. My lashes are practically up at my eyebrows lol as long as I don't end up in smudge city I'm gonna be super happy. 😂 If it ends up being that good I might end up regretting only getting 2. Maybe I'll end up grabbing some when it hits the shop, I never actually finish a full size to completely empty. I think the minis have the perfect amount in them for me.
My months picks. I looked up the swatches of the moonslice beauty palette and they actually looked really good where I saw them posted. They had versions of the palette in the on were getting, then a few different colour stories and they all look really pigmented, but I decided to skip it and get the violet Voss one instead. I grabbed one for myself and my friend, the add on price was way too tempting.
I've never tried bellapierre cosmetics but Ive been loving a nice gloss, hopefully they're really good. If any of you have gotten them before, please tell me if they're good. Also grabbed some lip liners. I'll be happy to have some that retract/twist up. I get so annoyed having to sharpen them.
For my actual box I'm very happy over all. I may have gotten the same lip gloss colour as an extra that they picked out for me now that I'm seeing the pics like this lol one of them is VERY similar to the tys 😂 that's ok though, it's got glitter so it's different.
So my ipsy original is saying they will email me when it's time to make my choice...I've already made my choice. They've emailed me and shown I've chosen the mascara all was well.
My ipsy extra said yesterday that choice is in a couple days. I opened it again today because I have seen it open early before so I just click the app open nearing the day, and I noticed they're saying they're putting my bag together? Is a normal glitch that kind of happens to people? Will it click back over to the choice on the first, or is this them actually making my choices for me? Just curious if this happens regularly?
I saw this diamond painting travel mug in the craft section today and thought some people here might enjoy it. I remember when someone posted about the compact mirror others really wanted it, so I thought the same people might want to know about this being there. It was in the crafting aisle, and my store had this one in the baskets not hanging up.
