Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette And Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette

It was that time of the year again and I couldn't resist to pick up some more makeup products during the Sephora Sale!

Swatches :

Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette

The main reason I placed an order on the Sephora website as soon as the sale starts was to get the Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette. No regrets so far as the colors look even better in person. I haven't tried it yet but I did swatch them for the picture and they were REALLY creamy and pigmented!

Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette

The Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette was a total impulse buy. At first I wanted to try the Tarte Tartelette Palette but 1 it was sold out 2 it's limited edition and I try to avoid using too many of those in videos. When I saw this one I knew it would be a perfect replacement and again the colors look beautiful!

I cannot wait to create looks with these - what's your favorite?

For anyone wondering this year Birthday Gift is this beautiful set:

NYX Matte Lipsticks - Mac Dupes And Which One Is The Perfect Shade For You!

NYX Matte Lipsticks (L-R) Euro Trash, Whipped Caviar, Natural, Tea Rose and Audrey

These lipsticks look so similar especially if you're looking to buy one of them online so I thought I would show you swatches and give you the perfect description!

Euro Trash: Brown neutral shade. It is the closest one to Mac Velvet Teddy but it's not quite brown enough to be a perfect dupe!

Whipped Caviar: My favorite of the bunch! It's a beautiful cool toned mauve nude. The perfect dupe for Mac Brave and extremely similar to Mac Faux. If you have a warm skin tone this could wash you out - check out the other ones!

Natural: Natural is a hint more pink than Whipped Caviar. It is probably the most universally flattering shade as it is pretty neutral!

Tea Rose: It has the most red and warmth compare to the previous two but I would still consider it a nude. It's a hint lighter than Mac Mehr but close enough that I would recommend it if you're looking for a dupe!

Audrey: If you feel like you can't pull of the 90's lip trend this is the most toned down pink of the NYX Matte lipsticks range!

Hope this was helpful!
