Review: The Balm Nude'Tude Eyeshadow Palette



I recently ordered The Balm Nude'Tude palette off of Hautelook, which I was super excited that it was on there since I have been dying to try this palette since it first came out! 
Packaging is super cute, just like all of The Balms products. 


The colors in this palette are beautiful and all shades I would wear so it's perfect. 
Most of the colors in this are shimmer and four are matte. The colors are very pigmented and also very easy to blend. I've tried pretty much all of these colors except for the three matte ones to the right but from swatches they look pretty nice. 


These are so smooth and I can do so many different looks with this palette which I love! 
I would definitely recommend this palette for everyday neutral makeup especially if it goes for sale on Hautelook!

Review: L'Oreal Full Definition Voluminous Mascara

Hey guys, So I have another mascara review for you all, and it's the L'Oreal Full Definition Voluminous. This isn't a new mascara but it is one that I have been wanting to try out. 

Here are the claims this mascara has:
-Creates defined lashes that are naturally smooth and soft
-The Volume Maximizing Brush combs through lashes, depositing just the right amount of product for a clump-free, separated look
-Smooth and even application, Lash by lash definition



Love the packaging with this product! Such a pretty tube of mascara :) The brush is a regular mascara style and not plastic..even though I always prefer plastic wand mascaras.


After applying this mascara and letting it dry for a little I touched my lashes to verify the claim of " naturally, smooth lashes". My lashes don't feel hard or stiff so this claim is definitely accurate! 

I applied two coats of this mascara and I felt that if I would of applied anymore it would of gotten clumpy. I could see my lashes starting to drupe after the second coat so this mascara does have quite a wet formula. 
It does separate nicely and gives good volume but as for length...ehh not so much. 

Overall,it's more of a natural looking mascara and doesn't give me amazing length or volume but it's okay. I will continue to use it and test it out but I don't see myself repurchasing.
