Review: Natural Beauty palette by Style Essentials | Beauty

Natural Beauty

Glam-on-the-go palette by 

Style Essentials review

14.07.17

Lately I have been messing around with eye shadows, in the hopes of mastering that super chic, bold, perfectly blended master piece on my eyelids. Using all the tips my fav beauty bloggers - Laura Lee, Nikkitutorials, CharismaStar, Tati, Kathleen and Promise has shared. I busted out my sad and tiny eye shadow collection and found this palette I purchased a couple of months ago in Germany, and decided to share with my thoughts on this product with you.

Natural Beauty Glam-on-the-go palette By Style Essentials. 

This palette consists of 6 all shimmer/metallic shadows, 2 lip pigments, 2 blushes and a highlight, all for just €6!(about R90)

The eyeshadows:

These are great for the center of the eyelids for that pop of bling. They work best when applied with a damp brush or tapped on with a finger. These shadows are build-able and lasts all day when used with a primer and set with a setting spray. I personally only use the dark  brown shade and the two lightest shades to highlight my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. 

★★★☆☆ 

The Highlighter:

The highlighter is one of my least favorite products from the palette, it is just too white, powdery and matte which is the opposite of what a highlighter should be.  

However, I apply some to my cheekbones as well as a mixture of the two lightest eyeshadows over the top and it gives a great glow.

★☆☆☆☆

The Blush:

The blush shades are not as pigmented as these swatches, when used with a brush you get lots of fallout and the color payoff is really light. I only use the peachy shade, I apply it with my fingers quite heavily and blend it in with a big fluffy brush.   

The shades are better suited for a pale/light skin tone I would say. 

★★☆☆☆

The Lip Pigments:

This is definitely my least favorite of all the products. It's basically a tinted lip balm, it's not long lasting,very drying after a while and the colors are way to light for me. 

★☆☆☆☆ 

In conclusion I would say that this palette would work better for someone with a lighter complexion. Overall it is a very pretty palette, the shadows are pigmented and works best with a damp brush. Despite that, the lip pigments are too light and highlighter just sucks, its too matte.

As I mentioned above; the peachy blush, the shadows and the highlight mixed with the two lightest shadows as a highlighter works great for me, it also comes with a mirror and is quite compact which is great for traveling. 

So ultimately I would say this palette is a hit, we have a winner. I do think it was worth the €6 I paid for it! I picked mine up at TKMAXX and I search around but had no luck finding a place where one could purchase it elsewhere unfortunately. 

Thank You so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed today's post, until next time have a blessed weekend. And remember inner beauty is what is important, it conquers all!

August | Favourites

Hi guys!

August is finally gone and winter is officially over, yay! 

I am super excited for September because it is my birthday month and I have lots of exciting posts in mind.

Today's post is my August favorites- just some things I have been loving this past month.

>>>  <<<

Lip Combo: 

Liner - Yardley in 'Spicy Nude'

Lipstick - Nyx soft matte lip cream in 'Abu Dhabi'

Gloss - Avon plump pout in 'Pink Nectar' 

This is my all time favorite lip combo, I will probably wear this forever ;) The Nyx lip cream is a matte lipstick which I love but some days I like to add a bit of gloss over it and this Avon plump pout is great definitely one of my favorite glosses.

>>> <<<

Orly in FBl2831

I have been painting my nails a ton this past month, Blues and Nudes. This nude shade is perfect for my skin tone, its fast drying and lasts up to 5 days. Another nail polish I've been loving is the Sinful colors in 'Cinderella'.

>>> <<<

Fluffy Knit - Double zero

On the cold and rainy days; this was my go-to piece- a black fluffy knit!

This has been in my last  favorites and I still love it. I wish I had them in ever single color possible.

>>> <<<

Silver lace ups - MrP

These are oldies but goodies! I got these on sale last year and I am still obsessed with them. They are bold and add a little something to any outfit. Obsessed!

>>> <<<

Large sunnies- MrP 

Although it was winter there were many sunny days and the shades were absolutely perfect blocking out those rays. They are black so they match everything, they have some minor gold detailing and were really inexpensive.

>>> <<<

Double-back earrings - MrP 

I have been wanting these ever since I saw them online. I couldn't find them anywhere and I didn't know of they would suit me. Recently I found this pair at MrP ,they were so inexpensive! I got them to see if I would like them, and well they are in my favorites, so of course I love them.

>>> <<<

Nesquik Sandwich Biscuits 

These are so good and so extremely addicting. They are really delicious especially the strawberry flavor and I usually don't like anything strawberry flavored.
I would definitely recommend this snack.

>>> <<<

Electric Heart by RUE 21

This perfume is amazing, it has a clean, long lasting fragrance. 
With notes of Bergamot, Pineapple, Moss and Cedarwood this is a great scent for the summer for sure.

July | Favourites

Yet another month has flown by  and today's post is my July favourites. 

The weather this past month has been very yucky, so I stayed in most days, curled up with my blankie. 

None the less I do have some fashion and beauty favourites to share with you guys.

>>> <<<

Firstly I have to share my current nail color obsession- Cornflower Blue.
I have been loving this color on my nails lately. 
It is a great shade with subtle shimmers, suitable for all skin tones and it can be worn year round. 
This is Sally Hansen Hard as nails in 'Hard bitten' and it is also a dupe for the Essie's 'Bikini so teeny'

>>> <<<




>>> <<<

So this past month the weather has been confusing with really cold and rainy to clear and sunny days. To keep warm  i've been wearing lots of coats as they are warm and easy to style. However recently I have been loving my statement coat, this 3/4 sleeve houndstooth coat. This coat is easy to style and no accessories are necessary. 

Coat // Jo Borkett

Another piece I have been enjoying this month is my  fluffy knit.
I think everyone should have at least one of these, I on the other hand wouldn't mind having them in every color possible. They keep you warm, they're soft and fluffy, and they add a touch of class to your outfit so what more could you ask for.

Fluffy knit // Cotton On

Black skinny jeans are most definitely a closet must- have. They match with literally anything and can be worn from day to night, casual to formal and everything in between. 
These are just perfect!
I have been wearing my pair a ton this past month and will probably for months to come.

Skinny Jeans // Forever 21

These chelsea boots were gifted to me about a month ago and I have been living in them. They are easy to slip on no zippers and buckles. They are the perfect pair of little booties, they are black, comfy and can be transitioned from one season to the next.

Robin Chelsea boots // Mossimo

My last fashion favourite has to be my new favourite little leopard printed crossbody. This bag is the perfect size to fit all my essentials and adds a touch of leopard print to my outfits, which I absolutely love.

Crossbody // Nine West

A couple of months ago I decided to give myself a purple ombre, and of course I had to lighten my hair which we all know is damaging. So recently my parent were in America and I asked them to bring me a product which would nourish, smooth and glossen my hair but not leave it oily. 
This Wild Harvest Hair 'silk drops' are amazing, it is a silk serum and does a perfect job at everything I have been looking for and doesn't leave my hair oily at all!

This month I decided to add my snack favourites, because  it's winter I find myself snacking constantly, which I know I am going to regret!
 I have been obsessed with these mini Oreo's - which has always been my favourite cookie. Also I have been enjoying Wonka Nerds! why did I ever stop eating these?


>>> <<<








And lastly my make-up favourites. I have be wearing this warm brown shimmery eye look nearly every single day and it is so incredibly easy to achieve.

1. Firstly I prime my eyelids with the e.l.f shadow lock to hold my eyeshadows in place all day.
2. I then use the brown shade in my Essence Ready for Boarding palette in 'Beauty on Tour' I placed this shade on the outer half of my lid, in and slightly above my crease.
3. Next I take this Elizabeth Arden matte taupe shade and added it to my crease to deepen it.
4.I then take some of my e.l.f. Bronzer in 'Warm tan' and applied it to the inner corners of my lids and blend it onto the center of my lids as well as in my crease and just above it.
5. And finally I curl my lashes and apply 2 coats of Colormates dual waterproof mascara
