Natasha Denona My Dream Collection Swatches + Review

November 7, 2022

Natasha Denona My Dream Palette Collection

Natasha Denona continues to be one of the best makeup lines for beautiful innovative palettes and colors. I love that she brings us so many beautiful unique launches – so much thought and care goes into her creations. Her new My Dream Collection has beautiful tones and textures. Today I have some swatches and a review of the items. Today’s the last day of the Sephora Holiday Savings event. If you’re looking for makeup that’s new (rather than repeats) definitely check her collection out.

I have swatches and a review but didn’t have time to shoot makeup looks for this launch. I still wanted to get the swatches up for you. I put up a poll on my Instagram stories and even though this collection launched weeks ago most of you still wanted swatches.

Natasha Denona My Dream Palette Collection

My Dream Eyeshadow Palette

Natasha Denona My Dream Palette

The Natasha Denona My Dream Eyeshadow Palette ($69) is absolutely stunning. I think it’s one of the best most unique palettes of the year. I’ve played with this a few times and you can create a wide range of looks. Every single shade applies beautifully. I love that she always has a great mix of textures: mattes, shimmers, sparkles, duo chromes. Some of her palettes are a little too trendy for my personal style. This one is on trend but has a good mix of colors that even conservative makeup lovers can wear it.

The palette has 13 new shades and 2 repromotes:

  • Famila is a warm dark brown
  • Babies is a stunning metallic mauve sparkle
  • Carpe-Diem is a warm matte brown
  • Serenity is a smooth shimmery taupe
  • Aspiration is a matte ultra deep cool brown
  • Blackest Black is a matte black
  • Instinct is a magenta satin
  • Thrill is a sparkling champagne
  • Unity is a matte warm terracotta peach
  • Risk is a beautiful smooth metallic reddish plum
  • Invention is a sparkle topper with a orange bronze finish
  • Vision is a duochrome violet green pink nude
  • Edgy is a purple eggplant satin
  • Spontaneous is a shimmering champagne
  • Nurture is a matte cool brown

Colors layer beautifully. Combinations are endless. Color range is amazing with light shades, medium shades, deep shades, bold pops. Absolutely love.

My Dream Cheek Trio

Natasha Denona My Dream Cheek Trio

Natasha Denona’s My Dream Cheek Trio ($48) is a beautiful palette I think will suit a wide range of skin tones. It has a Cream Blush which is a dusty neutral-cool pink (has a velvety finish), Glow Cream Base (shimmery creamy nude that melts into the skin, has fine shimmer) and Dream Glow Highlighter (another shimmery champagne, gel to powder finish). I think all three are beautiful and very easy to wear. The highlighters have a very similar vibe to her other cheek products. I still think this is a beautiful one you can wear this holiday for a polished effortless look.

Natasha Denona My Dream Cheek Trio

Colors apply beautifully and have very good pigment. They’re easy to layer and blend. They don’t emphasize my pores or skin texture. Love that the highlighters can also be used on the eyes.

My Dream Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Lip Pencil

Natasha Denona My Dream Lipstick, Lip Gloss and Lip Pencil

The last three items I have swatched are for the lips. My Dream Lipstick ($27) is a neutral cool mauve pink that’s super creamy and opaque. My Dream Lip Gloss ($27) has a beautiful smooth texture in a neutral mauve pink with medium coverage and a tiny bit of shimmer. My Dream Lip Crayon ($24) is an ultra pigmented long-wear lip pencil in a nude mauve color.

Natasha Denona My Dream Collection Lip swatches

Texture and pigment-wise all three are beautiful and excellent in quality. Unfortunately the colors did not work on my medium olive complexion. They have a bit too much grey undertone to work for my pigmented lips and tan skin. I think these would be super flattering on cool skin tones or light-fair complexions.

Overall a beautiful collection with lots to love. Out of all her palettes my favorites are still her Glam and Biba Palettes. The new My Dream Collection Palette is truly unique though so if you’re one looking for something new and innovative, this is the palette to try.

I have a quick roundup of what I hauled from the Sephora sale below. You can click on each item to shop directly from Sephora if you’re interested! I also bought this Hourglass Brush Set (not featured in the collage).

Did you shop the Sephora sale? What are you the most excited about?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Glam to Go Eyeshadow Palette

November 2, 2022

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Glam to Go Eyeshadow Palette

I hauled a few things from the Sephora Sale and one of my favorites is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Glam to Go Eyeshadow Palette ($29). I love the Mini Soft Glam II (reviewed here) so I knew I would love the new one. I also have a look at a couple lip items and blushes I hauled in today’s post.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Glam to Go Eyeshadow Palette

The Mini Glam to Go Eyeshadow Palette has 8 shades in a small compact. I love the colors, texture and pigment. It has a mix of shimmers, mattes and a sparkle shade. The overall color theme is pink and plum with a good balance of neutrals mixed in. Shadows are soft and blend beautifully.

Shades include:

  • Pretty is a shimmery light mauve
  • Dawn is a matte soft tan
  • Sunburst is a shimmery peach
  • Softy is a medium rose peach
  • Sunset is a warmer tan
  • Fireworks is a gorgeous plum taupe gold shimmer
  • Rosey is a reddish matte brown
  • Dusk is a deeper brown

Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Blush Sticks

I’ve also accumulated a few of the Stick Cream Blushes ($32 each) which I think are lovely. The shades are really flattering and easy to wear. They blend out to a very natural finish but you can build pigment. They don’t have a powdery dry-down but I like that they’re not super dewy. Lasting power isn’t going to be all day since it’s a cream but they have decent lasting power. I like that there’s a brush on one end making it easy for touch ups on the go.

So far I have:

  • Latte is a light nude pink (almost my skin tone)
  • Peachy Keen is a pretty fresh peach
  • Pink Dahlia is a bright pink (but blends out more sheer)
  • Soft Rose is a brown rose pink
  • Bubblegum is hard to see in the swatch but it’s a really pretty pink gold shimmer

There’s lots to love in the ABH lip world. I did a post of my haul here a while back of the Lipsticks and Lip Liners. I recently picked up Lipstick in Rose Dream (really pretty rose) and Lip Gloss in Peachy (almost clear base loaded with peach, pink and gold shimmers).

Overall love. I think the Glam to Go Palette is a great one to wear for everyday. Especially love that it’s a pink toned palette that doesn’t pull too pink or warm.

If you’re more into neutrals and neutral-cool tones Makeup by Mario launched his new Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette (just ordered and will try to swatch/review before the Sephora sale ends). The Natasha Denona Glam Palette and Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Quad in Exaggereyes are also in my top picks for true neutral eyeshadow palettes.

Holiday Gift Guide MAC

MAC Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault

October 25, 2022

MAC Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault

MAC has some really cute sets out for the holiday season! I’ve ordered a few as gifts this year and and ordered the Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault ($80, value of $145) for myself! I managed to buy it before it sold out at Ulta and Macy’s last week and today it just launched online at MAC Cosmetics. If you have your eye on this neutral lip set act fast! I suspect it will sell out very soon.

MAC Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault

MAC Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault

All the colors in this set fall under the same neutral color family with slight variations in undertone and finish. I really love the Velvet Teddy Matte Lipstick color so I knew I had to get this set. Love that each one is full-sized and I think the pink and gold case is really cute! So far Velvet Teddy and Teddy 2.0 are both available individually, the other shades are exclusive to this set.

MAC Velvet Teddy’s Party Crew Vault via The Beauty Lookbook

The difference in undertone is more noticeable and visible in real life. In the photos they all look very similar with subtle differences. Colors and formulas include:

  • Teddy 2.0 Powder Kiss Lipstick – this is a soft diffused matte with an almost airbrush finish, it has medium coverage
  • Velvet Teddy Matte Lipstick – full coverage matte long-wear lipstick
  • Very Teddy Love Me Lipstick – satin slightly glossy finish with a nourishing creamy feel
  • Love Teddy Love Me Liquid Lip Colour – a comfortable glossy liquid lipstick with a beautiful shine (this one pulls more neutral-cool on me)
  • Velveteen Teddy Retro Matte Liquid – liquid lipstick with a matte dry down, budge proof once it sets
  • Teddy Kiss Powder Kiss Liquid Lip Colour – a soft whipped matte liquid lip with an airbrushed smooth powdery look, this is the deepest and pulls more of a rose tone

Colors are swatched below with different lighting, the combination of flash + lights reflect on the glossy finish of some of the formulas. I think the stock swatch photo online at MAC does a great job at showing the differences in undertone. I also added a few MAC Lip Pencil swatches in Boldly Bare, Whirl, Spice and Soar for reference.

Overall love. I have so many neutral nude lipsticks at this point I don’t need another one but I love MAC’s holiday twist on their classic Velvet Teddy lip color. Out of all the formulas I think they’re all really good. I have a soft spot for the Love Me Lipstick and Love Me Liquid Lip Colour since I’m a glossy lip lover at heart.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Holiday 2022

October 24, 2022

Hourglass Holiday 2022

I have a look at Hourglass Holiday with swatches of all three Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palettes and the Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm Duo they launched this season. The items have been out for a while by now but if you’ve been on the fence about splurging I highly recommend adding them to your Sephora cart for the Holiday Savings Event starting this Friday (for Rouge)!

Hourglass Holiday 2022

Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palettes

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette Holiday 2022

There are three holiday Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palettes this season. They’re quite the splurge at $85 each but I was really glad to see lots of new shades. If you’re like me you’ve collected nearly every holiday palette they’ve launched. I do see some similarities to previous seasons but I really love the options this year. My favorite of the three is the Elephant Palette although I think the Tiger Palette has the most unique colors.

All three performed exceptionally well. They have a good mix of textures including their soft diffused finishing powders, metallic strobe highlighters and luminous blushes.

Tiger Palette

The Tiger Ambient Lighting Edit Palette has the deepest tones out of all three. I’ve been using the 2 deeper shades as eye colors since they’re really deep on my skin tone. This one has:

  • Transcendent Light – soft brown satin
  • Brilliant Glow Strobe Light (new) – bronze and gold swirl for a light gold shimmer
  • Burnish Glow (new) – shimmering bold orange with gold shimmer
  • Divine Strobe Light (new) – metallic pale yellow gold
  • Copper Flash Strobe Light (new) – metallic copper rose
  • Iridescent Rose – swirls of pale pink and rose shimmer

Elephant Palette

The Hourglass Elephant Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is my favorite but it is also the most similar to previous years. I still love it. Colors in this one include:

  • Dim Light – sheer beige rose finishing powder
  • Soft Light – sheer light beige finishing powder (wish they’d launch this in full size!)
  • Beaming Strobe Light (new) – metallic champagne gold
  • Lustrous Bronze Light (new) – satin warm bronze
  • Iridescent Coral (new) – pink coral gold shimmer
  • Radiant Rose (new) – bold pink flush

Butterfly Palette

The Butterfly Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is the lightest option with three pale powders and two rose tones for blush. It’s a stunning one but I wish it had a bit more variation. Colors include:

  • Ethereal Light – pale white satin finishing powder
  • Incandescent Light – ultra pale white pink with shimmer
  • Soft Flush (new) – berry rose pink blush
  • Diffused Light – sheer pale finishing powder
  • Sunset Glow (new) – reddish berry blush
  • Celestial Strobe Light (new) – metallic pale champagne

Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balms

I wanted to give the Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balms ($35 each) a shout out, especially since there’s a Holiday Phantom Glossy Balm Duo ($50) with Slip (pink rose, also worn here) and new Rouse (brownish red). These have a really beautiful formula with a twist up style tube. They are incredibly expensive for the amount of product you get and once you twist up they don’t twist back down. These are glossy balms with a good color payoff. They almost melt into the lips when you apply but they don’t slide off. Since these are glossy there is not much staying power. They’ll stick to the lips as long as you don’t touch anything to your lips.

I love the product and colors but I wish they gave you more product for the price. Mist is a beautiful pale pink, Slip is a rose pink, Lucid is a stunning coral peach, Rouse is a brown red.

The Holiday Duo has sold out a number of places but you can still find it at Ulta, Bloomingdale’s, and Space NK.

That wraps up my Hourglass haul + review! I’m really happy with everything and I purchased them on my own. I think they’re easy to wear and add a lovely polished look.

If you’re looking for new brushes or tools I highly recommend checking out Hourglass. I’ve slowly added pieces to my collection over the years and they’ve held up so well. I really love the Vanish Foundation Brush, Concealer Brush and Smudge Brush to name a few. I’ve had their Travel Brush Set on my radar for a few years now. They’re actually full size and there’s no price break for the set, but I think the case is why they call it a “travel set”. I think I might splurge this year with the upcoming Sephora sale.

Have you tried the Hourglass holiday launches yet? What did you think? Out of all the holiday palettes that have launched this year which one has caught your eye the most?

Chanel Holiday 2022 Demander La Lune

Chanel Holiday 2022 Demander La Lune

Chanel Holiday 2022 Demander de Lune Collection has arrived and I have a look at the holiday newness today! I received some pieces in PR and also ordered a few more items to review. I tried everything in the holiday collection except 2 things (skipped one lip product and the eye gloss duo). If you’ve been waiting for swatches I hope you find this review helpful!

Everything is now available at Chanel.com. Also at other retailers like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and more.

Eclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder

Chanel Eclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder

There are two oversized highlighters called the Eclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder ($88). Both of them have a warm undertone. 887 Or Rose is the lighter option and pulls like a light warm rose gold on my skin. 897 Cuivre Dore is the deeper option and is very yellow-gold. These have a metallic finish, texture is smooth almost like a gelee-powder but with a powder finish. They adhere beautifully to the skin. I recommend using a light touch as they’re very pigmented and metallic.

Holiday 2022 Les 4 Ombres

Chanel Les 4 Ombres ($65) 937 Ombres de Lune

Chanel launched one eyeshadow quad in the Les 4 Ombres ($65) 937 Ombres de Lune. This one also pulls very warm with a multi-dimensional copper rose shimmer, neutral tan beige shimmer, sparkling warm yellow gold and a satin medium brown. Pigment is beautiful and easy to build and layer. The overall color theme pulls a lot warmer than I’m used to wearing but once you add liner and smoke out the dark brown shade it comes together in a warm holiday look. I love the embossed detailing on all the items. Chanel always adds those extra touches that make their products beautiful and special.

Chanel Les 4 Ombres ($65) 937 Ombres de Lune

Chanel Les 4 Ombres ($65) 937 Ombres de Lune

For a gold/bronze tone eye I prefer the Tweed Cuivre (reviewed here). For holiday I do think the Ombres de Lune is unique, especially for what we usually see from Chanel. If you’re fair skin this will pull a lot warmer on you. I think it would look stunning on deeper skin tones.

Quality, texture, color payoff are all top notch. Whether or not this quad is for you depends on whether or not you like warm golds.

Holiday Lip Colors

I ordered one of the two new Rouge Allure Laques ($42) in 88 Rose Mystere and I think it’s a very pretty muted rose with a hint of gold shimmer. It’s the perfect medium rose tone I think you can wear all year.

Chanel Rouge Allure Laque 88 Rose Mystere

Chanel Rouge Allure Laque 88 Rose Mystere

There are two new Rouge Allure L’Extrait Lipsticks ($55). Chanel has a bold red with 817 Rouge Selene and a brown plum red with 827 Brun Lunaire. Both have an incredibly smooth texture with rich color payoff. I do think they are dupeable especially with the other existing Chanel colors. You may want to shop your stash.

Holiday 2022 Nails

Chanel Holiday 2022 Le Vernis

Last we have a look at the 3 nail colors for holiday. There are two Chanel Le Vernis ($30) shades in 965 Clair de Lune is a metallic olive shimmer and 963 Super Lune is a red that pulls a dark wine color on the nails. Both have smooth flawless coverage. I love that the olive shimmer has a smooth streak-free finish.

Chanel also launched a new shade of Le Top Coat ($30) in 347 Etoile. This is a superfine gold shimmer. It’s definitely sheer enough that it’s a top coat. The shimmer is fairly dense so you only need one coat. I tried it on it’s own and swatched it next to the Dior Holiday Top Coat in Cosmic for comparison. If I layer on 6 coats I can get enough pigment to cover the nail but it’s still relatively transparent.

Chanel Holiday 2022 Le Vernis

Chanel Le Vernis Super Lune + Etoile

Overall I think the Chanel Holiday 2022 collection is beautiful. I don’t know that this will be for everyone as all the tones pull on the warmer side. Even though I own so many highlighters, I think both Or Rose or Cuirvre Dore are the stand outs in this launch.

Available now at Chanel. Have you checked out the holiday launch yet? What did you think?

Nordstrom Tom Ford Beauty

New Tom Ford Beauty Soleil Neige Makeup 2022

October 17, 2022

Tom Ford Beauty Soleil Neige 2022

Tom Ford Beauty added three new pieces to their Soleil Neige lineup this year with two Eyeshadow Quads ($90 each) and a Soleil Neige Lip Blush Lip Balm ($58). As a long-time Tom Ford Beauty lover I could not resist and picked up all three. The colors are stunning and I’m excited to partner with Nordstrom to share a look at them today!

Soleil Neige Lip Blush Lip Balm

Tom Ford Soleil Neige Lip Blush Lip Balm 2022

This year’s Soleil Neige Lip Blush Lip Balm is another color shifting shade. It’s clear in the tube with silver flecks of sparkle. When applied to my lips it transforms into a flushed cool bright pink – almost like magic! It has a very lightweight feel. It almost feels like you have nothing on the lips! Compared to previous variations this one pulls a little more cool-toned on my lips and a little brighter. If you’ve tried this year’s version I’d be really curious to hear what it looks like on you!

Tom Ford Soleil Neige Lip Blush Lip Balm 2022

Soleil Neige Eye Quads

Tom Ford Beauty Soleil Neige

The two Soleil Neige Eyeshadow Quads this season are Apres Ski and Chalet Lust. Both have a pressed powder formula with a metallic finish similar to Honeymoon, Nude Dip and Body Heat. This formula is probably my favorite in the Tom Ford Beauty lineup.

Apres Ski pulls more metallic. It has a beautiful mix of pink tones with a shimmery pale mauve pink, medium pink, warm red, diffused soft plum brown. It’s like a lighter version of Body Heat. Pigment is medium but buildable. I really love this kind of color palette!

I’m wearing it above, full beauty breakdown includes:

Chalet Lust has a more glitzy sparkly finish with a pale white shimmer, pale light gold with silver flecks, soft pale lavender sparkle and a shimmery beige with silver and gold flecks. Colors layer nicely although they do have a similar pale shimmer effect on the eyes. You may need to add a deeper shade for contour and liner.

Wearing Chalet Lust with the same breakdown as above, lips are Cle de Peau Lipstick in Triumphant Tawny 11 + Tom Ford Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Crystalline.

Overall love. I’ve collected nearly every Soleil Neige palette each year and think both are really beautiful colors I’d want to wear on a regular basis. I was pleasantly surprised by this year’s Soleil Neige Lip Balm. I think it makes for a nice healthy pink flush.

Westman Atelier

Westman Atelier Petal Edition Set

October 16, 2022

Westman Atelier Petal Edition Set

Westman Atelier has some beautiful sets for holiday and today I have a look at her Petal Edition Set ($134). This set has 3 full-sized items in the Petal color with her Baby Cheeks Blush Stick, Lit Up Highlight Stick and Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm. You can find this now at Nordstrom, Sephora and Violet Grey.

Westman Atelier Petal Edition Set

If you’re into the minimalist glowy makeup look you’ll love this Petal Set. I already own her Baby Cheeks in Petal but I use it so often I did not mind getting another one in this set. Both the lip balm and highlight stick are exclusive to this set right now.

The Baby Cheeks Blush in Petal is a soft rose pink cream. It has a creamy finish with a slight dry down but still remains fresh and dewy looking. On my normal/combination skin this is not the longest lasting but I still find it has decent staying power for a cream blush. These come in her magnetized twist up stick format.

The Lit Up Stick in Petal is a really pretty cool-toned pink. Pigment is extremely sheer with this one and adds a glossy glow to anywhere you apply it. It’s a versatile product you can add to the cheeks, lips, eyes. I’m not really a fan of the glossy balm look on the face but it does add a nice pretty fresh dewy glow. I know a lot of you are huge fans of anything dewy. I think this is a nice addition to her lineup.

The Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Petal is really pretty. In general this formula is extremely sheer (except for the darker bold shades) and the balms offer just a slight wash of color. The formula has a nice smooth texture and they feel like a balm on the lips. I layer these on top of a lip pencil most of the time but find they will wear nicely alone too. I really love these but wish they had more pigment. The colors are so good I would have loved to have an option that matches what you see in the tube more.

Overall I think the set is beautiful. It’s easy to wear for any season. I like the fresh pops of pink it has too!
