$5 DUPE FOR STILA MAGNIFICENT METAL GLITTER & GLOW EYESHADOWS

-

One of my all-time favorite makeup products is Stila's Magnificent Metal Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow. I typically don't buy a lot of high end makeup but I knew that this was going to be a product I was going to love - and I do. However, the $24 price tag holds me back from purchasing more shades of this product.

Ever since I bought this Stila liquid eyeshadow last August, I have been on the hunt for a comparable dupe from the drugstore. I haven't found anything that works as well as this does...until now. 

I came across the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow one day at Ulta and after swatching it, I knew I had to try it. I bought the shade Goldie Lux, which looks more like a chartreuse than a true gold in the tube and when applied opaquely. However, I have found that by blending the product on the eyelid with your finger perfectly sheers out the greenish tint and transforms it into a gorgeous glittery gold.

It has almost the exact same formula as the Stila Magnificent Metals - both last all day long without any glitter fallout, creasing or fading.  I have tried other liquid eyeshadows with the same concept from other brands, but I found them all to chip and flake all over my face within just a few hours. 

Wet n Wild
Stila
 
I actually prefer the application process of the Wet n Wild product much more than the Stila one, too. Wet n Wild is in a much longer tube (almost like a lip gloss) with a longer handle that makes it easier to apply. Whereas the Stila liquid eyeshadow is in a much smaller tube with a shorter and square handle, which can sometimes be difficult to maneuver. The flat doe foot applicator is the exact same for both. 

There is a much wider color selection in the Stila collection, but if you can find a shade you like in the Wet n Wild collection, its definitely worth trying out. 

Comparable shades:

I did a full review on the Stila product last year and I definitely think it is worth the money and is a really amazing and innovative product. If you have been wanting to try out this out, but are looking to save some money, I highly recommend checking out the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow!

      Me too! Its a great product, but way too overpriced in my opinion. The Wet n Wild one is so much cheaper and basically the exact same quality as the Stila one! I hope you enjoy it! ♡

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo // Album Review

-
Image
GUTS  is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Olivia Rodrigo , following up her massively successful debut album, SOUR , in 2021 . To have the level of success she has had right out the gate with her first-ever single "driver's license" in early 2021 is so rare and she quickly became one of the most notable pop artists to debut this decade so far. There are a lot of songs that I have come to really enjoy on this album, some of which are among my favorites of the entire year so far. When comparing  GUTS *  to  SOUR *,  they are alike in a lot of ways, both sonically and aesthetically. In my opinion,  GUTS  builds upon the foundation she and her producer/co-writer, Dan Nigro, set in place with  SOUR  really well. Olivia is in such an interesting and unique position as an artist right now. The closest, or most recent, comparison I have to it is where Billie Eilish was at with her career a few years ago after her debut album . Both her and Olivia went from being vir

Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt // Newbury Comics Exclusive Rainbow Vinyl

-
Image
Tragic Kingdom is the hit breakthrough album by  No Doubt , released in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. Blending a mix of pop, punk, rock and ska, it was a groundbreaking album for the music landscape of the mid-90's and instantly became a timeless classic. It was the band's third album together, which differed quite a bit from their first two lesser-known records, partly because of the interpersonal drama within the lives of the members at the time. For the first time, No Doubt's music was mainly written from the perspective of the band's frontwoman  Gwen Stefani . This album was just the start of Gwen becoming the major force in pop music that she was for much of the next decade to follow. This record still is just as relevant now as it was then, I hear the influences of  Tragic Kingdom and Gwen's emblematic attitude try to be replicated by so many modern pop and rock records released today.  This album spawned several massive hits for them, including "S

Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves // Album Review

-
Image
Deeper Well  by Kacey Musgraves sounds like the first blossoming of spring after a long, cold winter. An aspect that shines the most within this music is her talent for sweet and simple songwriting. Every song is very rooted in nature and uses vivid imagery to paint such a stunning, honest and reflective portrait of this current phase of her life. The production is very stripped-back on most of these tracks, with the focus mainly on her vocals and lyricism. This is among her most introspective work yet, chronicling her inner-most thoughts and emotions from where she last left off in 2021 with  star-crossed . She worked on this album primarily in New York City at Electric Lady Studios , which is an environment that played into her wanting to make a softer, more subdued album this time. "There’s the smell of marijuana, pizza, people talking, skateboarders, loud music, everything at 220. And I think you take some of those things to the studio. When the outside environment is so max

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman * is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman * is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
