Two Weeks/One Palette In Review

On May 7, I picked the Anastasia Artist Palette as my palette for the next two weeks. Let me tell you, I could have saved my moolah!! I think it was YouTube who had me all hyped up over it and plus at this time in my makeup journey, I had to have EVERY SINGLE Anastasia palette that came out! (Yes, I was collecting them.)

The palette retailed for $30 about two years ago and it includes 12 shades.  The shadows in this palette are straight (dare I say it) trash!! This isn't the formula that we all come to love! You have to take that extra step in your morning routine and apply a white base for the brightest colors to pop! The glitter that are in the shadows does not even stay on the eyes. The swatches below were done several times over. I am not impressed by this palette at all. The most disappointing shadows in this palette are Unicorn, Punch Fushia, and Baby I'm  A Star. The two shades I didn't get a chance to use were Beigely and Coal. I did a week worth of looks from this palette, the other week I didn't wear any makeup because of my microblading.  If you missed out on this palette, GOOD! If you got it, then what are your thoughts? Do you do anything special to make the colors pop? Comment below!! And enjoy the eye looks!



For this looked I used Punch Fushia on the lid, Dusty Rose as the transition color and Inglot shadows in the crease.

For this look, I used NYX prismatic shadow in Mermaid and Blue Velvet from the palette on the outer corner.


This look I used Anaconda on the lid and Orange You Fancy on the lower lash line. I wish I would have gotten a pic with my eye open.


On my eyes, I have Aubergine and Baby I'm A Star together on my lid.

Last but not least, I have Unicorn on the lid, Aubergine on the outer corner and Dusty Rose as my transition color.

Good Day Kaye Babes! The time has come to introduce the palette I will be using for the next two weeks and by the title of the blog, I am pretty sure you already know what it is! Back by Popular Demand: The Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette This little puppy was very limited edition once upon a time. I caught mine when they first released it. I was at Ulta at 9 am (even though they open at 10 am) on the release date and they only have 7 palettes to sell. I was one of those lucky 7! Too Faced saw how popular it was and they re-released it, making it a part of their permanent line. It has 18 peach-inspired shades which also has real peach essence in it. It has warm and cool tones and is universally flattering on every skin tone.  I am uber excited to use this palette! Do any of you beauties on this palette? What do you think of it? Let me know below! Okay Kaye Babes, until the next blog, Kaye you Later!

I am all about supporting people who support you, showing love to others and to let them know that I am in their corner! So once a month, I am going to feature some people I support and love on my blog! It's all love over here!  So my K.babes, meet India! I worked with her for almost two years. She is the main reason why I am such an advocate for skincare. She is the one who taught me about different moisturizers, serums and toners. Anytime I needed skincare advice or if my skin was acting crazy, she was my first source!  This is the lovely, beautiful young lady that did my microblading. (Blog post coming soon) I had a sit down with this special lady to pick her brain and here's what came out: (Enjoy!)   Kaye: So, tell the people a little about yourself.
