Holiday 2017 Makeup

   These are just a few of the makeup sets that are available this season for gift giving or for treating yourself. Take a look to see what I think of them.

Top Row of Eyeshadows

Bottom Row of Eyeshadows

Clinique
Sweet as Honey Eyeshadow Palette (Limited Edition)
C $44.00 $175 Value
 
   I love the angular look on the front of this palette and the packing itself feels really substantial. When you swatch the eyeshadows they look pigmented, but when you blend them out all the pigment goes away and they look washed out. I was so disappointed that the pigment went away after you blended them out and that the looks I created all ended up looking as if I used one or two eyeshadows.  I like the colour selection in this palette but because the pigment doesn’t stay, I will be only using this it when I want a day look that’s more natural.

   This palette would be great if you want a natural day look and a hint of colour for more of a night look. The good thing about these eyeshadows is that they are allergy tested and 100% fragrance-free, so they would be good if you have sensitive eyes.

Colours L to R: Absolute Strobe (Soft Pink), Pure Strobe (Light Gold) , Lucent Strobe (Rose Gold)

Hourglass
Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette (Limited Edition)
C $75
    
 This palette is vegan and 100% cruelty free. This product felt a little dry to the touch but it looks really great on the skin. This is definitely a metallic highlighter. If you love highlighters that are in your face then you will love this one!

Powder highlight on left and liquid highlight on right.

Tarte Limited Edition Overexposed Highlighter Set
C $18.00 (Value $30.00)

Tarte Tarteist Pro Glow Liquid Highlighter

   This product has a nice and creamy texture to it. You have to work fast with this product as it dries quickly. It is a very pigmented soft gold highlighter.


Tarte Exposed Highlighter
Amazonian Clay Highlighter

   This highlight feels nice and smooth when you swatch it. It is a very pigmented soft gold highlighter, so when you use it you don’t want to be heavy handed, unless you want a highlight that can be seen from outer space!

   I love the look of both of the Tarte highlights on my skin but will have to use them more in the summer as they are a little too dark for my skin tone right now.

These are all great gifts to give to someone this holiday season.
