Too Faced Sweet Peach


Everyone and their mother raves about this palette and with good reason.

Too Faced's Sweet Peach Palette was originally released as a limited edition palette in the summer of 2016 and sold out within minutes, proving almost impossible to get your hands on. Then came Christmas of 2016 and it was re-released. Don't quote me on this but I believe it's part of Too Faced's permanent collection now. I was unable to pick this up during the initial release but when it rolled out at Christmas I was one of the first at Sephora.





The palette encases 18 different shades in a variety of finishes, ranging from matte's to shimmers and a couple of shades that had some more chunky flecks of glitter.



1st row {left to right: White Peach, Luscious, Just Peachy, Bless Her Heart, Tempting & Charmed I'm Sure}


2nd Row {left to right - Nectar, Cobbler, Candied Peach, Bellini, Peach Pit & Delectable}


Last Row {left to right: Peaches N' Cream, Georgia, Caramelized, Puree, Summer Yum &  Talk Derby To Me}

There's only two shades that had big chunks of glitter, those being Candied Peach & Talk Derby To Me. When used on the eyes though I don't find Candied Peach to be as glittery as it is when swatched. I can't say the same for Talk Derby To Me though because I haven't used that shade yet.

I adore the color scheme of this palette and I like how it's mostly neutral with a few pops of color thrown in like the purple and the unique olive green shade. I've been using this a lot recently and the colors all blend extremely well and don't turn into a muddled looking mess like some cheaper eye shadows can do. I've never had problems with creasing or fading with any of the shades, mind you I do always use a primer but sometimes shadows still crease with a primer. 
Did I mention this smells like peaches? The scent can be overwhelming so be warned if you have a a sensitive sense of smell. Luckily though you can't smell it once it's applied!

My favorite shadows in this palette are Luscious, Candied Peach & Caramelized. I love this palette and am so glad I got my hands on it!

Loreal Collagen Micro-Pulse



Hey loves!

I'm twenty three now, almost twenty four and due to my desert dry skin I've noticed lines under my eyes and darker circles. (Gasp)
Naturally I've been on the hunt for a decent eye cream. The last one I tried was the Nivea DNAge Eye Cream, see my review here.

When I saw this my immediate thought was that's a gimmicky product. It's the Loreal Collagen Micro Pulse, two step system.
Step one is an eye cream and step two is a micro pulser you use after applying the cream.

I'll be honest I bought it because I was on sale and even though it screamed gimmick to me I was still intrigued.

The outcome, it did absolutely nothing and I'm over joyed I didn't pay full price for it. The cream itself is far too light and sinks in immediately still leaving my under eyes crying for moisture. It did nothing in the ways of brightening my dark circles or helping with the subtle lines that have appeared in the recent year. The vibrator did nothing either and actually stopped working all together within a week. I have nothing positive to say about this product, I've never been more disappointed in something. 

Loreal please discontinue this.

Please leave me recommendations for eye creams below, what do you use?

Who To Read

Hello loves!

I shared some of my favorite YouTubers earlier in the month and I thought why not showcase some of my favorite blogs to read as well.



Beky Lou - I've followed Beky for a long time and I love her posts. She has a fantastic mix of lifestyle, beauty & fashion and she just announced some exciting news over on her blog!



Violet Daffodils - Kate is a lovely human. Her posts are well thought out and she was the first person to start commenting on my posts which means a lot to me.



All Things Beautiful - I only recently started reading Jessies blog but she's so down to earth and I really enjoy her lifestyle posts and outfit posts. (She has a wicked sense of style)



Lua - Le-Happy - Lua was the first fashion blogger whose style I truly fell for. She can rock a grunge look like no other. On the opposite side of the spectrum her formal looks are outstanding. Her mixture of styles is what really intrigued me about her and I've been following her for a long time.


Who are your favorite bloggers?

TRENDING: White Ankle Boots

At the beginning of the month I wrote a post on the new & upcoming trends for SS17.
Well, turns out I missed one that I'm really excited for, white ankle boots!
Now, I love black. Yesterday, I honestly wore ALL BLACK down to my socks. Black boots are the easiest things to style as they go with everything and still look great.

The 80's may be on their way back but this is trend is stepping right out of the 60's.

I wanted to share my favorite white booties with you all!


TRENDING


Balenciaga - If you didn't notice most of the boots I featured here all have chunky heels and more rounded toes which I why I chose to add these Balenciaga ones. The sharp stiletto heel and pointed toe really give them an edge.

Marc Jacobs - I like that these are cream colored instead of your standard stark white.

Proenza Schouler - This pair of boots with the color blocking really give me some serious 60's vibes.

Acne Studios - The statement heel on these is what gives them their edge. It would definitely draw attention and give your outfit a little oopmh.

Those are some of my favorite boots, even though I can't afford them a girl can dream right?



Are you going to be rocking white boots this upcoming season?
