Juvia's Place Douce Palette PUR Cosmetics Lashes





This was my first time really playing with this palette as well as trying something from Juvia's place. I have had their singles in my drawer for a bit, but they were so deep in tone that I decided to pass them on to somebody who could benefit more from them. In terms of this palette, the mattes are a bit dry, but blend beautifully. I wanted them to be a bit more vibrant, so I'm going to try and put a white base underneath ( like NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk) and see how it works. This look has MAC Paint Pot in Painterly as my base, and my previous quick look just had concealer underneath. The silver shade looks a lot richer in the pan, so it was a bit of a disappointment when I put it on the lid. I have tons of light silvers that are more reflective than this, so I was hoping to get a richer reflective tone. The white shade goes on more sheer than in the pan, as well as the browns. Overall, for the price, this is worth it, because you do get pigment (just not as much as I was hoping), and the colors are pretty and unique. The price makes it a drugstore price, so comparing it to drugstore shadows this is a top performer. It doesn't compare to MUFE or ABH or UD though. Shadows that are beautiful and reflective that are at a great price point are the Colourpop supershock shadows, and some of their palettes ( I own 2, but from the reviews I watch, it seems that some palettes are hit or miss. I would recommend doing your research 😊 ). I love the Catrice Metal Shadows but they may be discontinued.

Dupes
All the shades can be duped but I stumbled upon this dupe of Juvia's Place Tart and AOA Studio Velour Highlighter in Circus. The color is a pink, blue, purple shadow with a white base. The highlighter is more glittery and vibrant (more like and eyeshadow only $1), and the shadow is more subtle without any chunky glitters (more suited as a highlighter). If you happen to own both, putting the mousse highlighter on the bottom and the shadow on top makes it look great!

Michaels precious stones Rose Quartz Color Scheme Bracelets



Just a quick post about some beautiful bracelets I found at Michaels for buy one get one half off, and some were also on clearance. It ended up being cheaper than buying the materials and making them myself! I mixed and matched the sets to come up with the combinations pictures. The colors that I have been mixing have been taupe, white, rose quartz, purple quartz, and grey. These beads are glass, and slightly heavy, so I know they are really good quality. I love how they were cut, because it catches the light beautifully. This isn't sponsored at all, I'm just in awe of how beautiful they are! Michaels always has coupons, and I'm part of the rewards, so I'm always finding deals. Gotta love it. I'll link the bracelets that are online below.
