Review: Benefit BADgal BANG Mascara

If you're on any kind of social media, you will have heard about this mascara! I don't think I've ever seen so much hype over a mascara!

Benefit had been teasing for a couple of weeks last month that something "out of this world" was going to land on their shelves soon. Obviously, the beauty world went crazy trying to guess what it could be. People were guessing a new highlighter or perhaps an eyeshadow palette. I must admit, with the space theme and the "out of this world" stuff, I was thinking it could be a highlighter/highlighter palette.

Review: Huda Beauty Mauve Obsessions Palette

Back in November, Huda Beauty released four mini palettes, the Obsessions Palettes, each featuring 9 shades.

The palettes were named Warm Obsessions, Smokey Obsessions, Electric Obsessions and Mauve Obsessions. The palettes are said to be the same formula as Huda Beauty's larger two palettes, Textured Shadows Palette - Rose Gold Edition and Desert Dusk Palette.

Warm Obsessions consists of warm browns and golds. Smokey Obsessions is a mix of taupe, silver and golds. Electric Obsessions an eclectic selection of bright, bold shimmers and mattes. Mauve Obsessions is a mix of mauve/pink tones.

The colours are lovely, bar the palest colour which doesn't really fit in. It's quite chalky and the shade isn't flattering but I suppose it could be used as a matte brow highlight.

Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Palette

I didn't buy in to the hype with the Modern Renaissance palette initially. It looked like a beautiful palette but I wasn't sure if I loved it enough. That was until one of my favourite Youtuber's, Arshia Moorjani, raved so much about it I just had to have it! It's now up there with my favourite palettes (a blog post coming on that soon!) and I am so glad I decided to splash by hard earned cash. I was so excited to see what ABH released next.

I was disappointed with the next release, the Subculture palette, as the colours just weren't "me" and though there were a few pretty shades, there weren't enough for me to justify buying it. Ah well, no biggy! That was until the Prism palette was released! I literally fell in love the first time I saw it on ABH's media. Filled with "prismatic" metallic shimmers in jewel tones, this palette spoke to me. The colours looked so rich and opulent - I knew I needed it. Ok, a bit dramatic. But, seriously, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
