So beautiful!!! Worth every cent!
I also have the Topaz palette and thought it was my ultimate favorite palette, until I got this one. This is so soft, glowy, and beautiful. This is my go to for a daily look that is soft and sophisticated. I was on the fence on purchasing this because in the pictures the colors looked like what was already in my Topaz palette minus the black. They are not like the Topaz palette at all. I'd say the Topaz palette is better suited for a more bold look and this Pearl palette is an extremely wearable soft glowy natural/neutral look. I can see why this would also be a go to for brides. I'm over 40 with very pale skin with a yellow undertone. This palette compliments my skin tone so well and lays so nicely on my eyelids without accentuating any lines, even the shimmer shades. In my opinion this should be a staple in anyone's makeup kit. I plan on adding this to my pro kit for those clients who want a soft look or for my brides. Absolutely love this palette!
Game changer for fine color treated hair
This stuff blew me away. I typically use ORIBE products but got this in my lucky box. I am still a little in shock at the difference it made. My fine hair will hold wave,has body, feels like silk, and has gorgeous magazine quality shine. Plus this stuff just smells nice. I had dried out my hair with heavy highlights. My hair is also VERY fine but i have a lot of it so it tends to go flat and not hold style. I don't know why this gave me insane volume and body but it did and now my hair will hold wave or curls even after sleeping on it. It's seriously amazing!
Beautifully Sophisticated!
I am so very impressed by this palette. I am a professional makeup artist. I do have palettes already with these colors but I decided to give these a try because Wayne talked about gearing them for over 40 eyes. All I can say is, WOW! If you are over 40, THIS is the palette you need. It's sophisticated and absolutely stunning. I swiped it with my fingers and put it on my arm and I just was underwhelmed. I then decided to do an eye look on my own eyes using the palette and I was IN LOVE! I am over 30 and I couldn't believe how these developed on the eyes. On my arm they didn't seem that pigmented but once I put them on my eyelids they seemed to melt into my skin and develop into richer more sophisticated colors. They made the skin on my eyelids look more youthful and they stayed put without any oxidation or color change through an entire 10 hour day looking as fresh as when I applied them. The eye pencils are just outstanding. They are creamy and blendable so you can use them to double as an eyeshadow or to intesify a dark smokey eye. If you set them with the shadows they are bulletproof. I was in high humidity and the eye pencils and eye shadows held up through my sweatiest moments. If i had to pick one word for this set it would be sophisticated. I have never used a product with more sophistication. The way they apply just makes you feel beautiful. I wish i'd had this sooner for my mother of the bride kit and for my on set over 30 kit. This is definitely worth every penny.
This was the best beauty box I have ever received!!!
I have never gotten a lucky bag but decided to try it this year. It was AMAZING!! I got: -Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm Palette -Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner -Units 200 Series Eyeshadow Brush Set -Jouer Cosmetics Longwear Lip Creme in Aubergine -Hourglass Cosmetics Highlighting Stick in Gold Flash - Farmacy Bright on Vitamin C mask
Could not believe how much I got in this box! The Dominque Cosmetics palette was something that I never knew I needed, but did. I normally wear neutrals so this one was a fantastic addition to my makeup bag. I had never heard of this line and now i have to say I'm hooked. I love this so much that if anything happens to it, i will cry. I use the colors on my eyes, lips, and cheeks and just love how it blends but has buildable pigment. I am over 40 and the shadows laid smoothly on my eyes and didn't age them at all. Extra bonus was that if you lay down a layer of the Hourglass HIghlight stick first with your fingers, then pat the shadow over top of that, it smooths all of your lines and crepiness on your eyelids. I was able to use most of this palette like pressed pigments and even mixed it with lip balm to make custom lipstick. I sincerely LOVE this palette!!!
Good Molecules Brightening Toner: Love this too!! My skin is combination and i am over 40. This seems to plump my skin a bit and add clarity. I really like this product. I just pat it directly into my skin after cleansing. It seems to make my makeup go on smoother as well.
Units 200 Series Eyshadow Brush Set: I happen to be a vegetarian so these cruelty free brushes made my day. I'm also a professional makeup artist so brushes are always a winner with me. These are so wonderful. They grab product so nicely and are sturdy and well made. I absolutely love these brushes.
Jouer Cosmetics Longwear Lipcream in Aubergine: This was the only product I have chosen to regift to someone else. I have very yellow toned skin and red hair, this color is just the wrong undertones for my skintone and hair color. I didn't open it or try it but was very aware that this color would make me look washed out and a bit dead. Since I loved everything else in this box, one lipstick in an off color was no big deal.
Hourglass Cosmetics HIghlighting stick in Gold Flash: Another product I didn't know I needed until I got it. I now can't live without this. I don't tend to really use many highlighting products (large pores, aging skin..) I decided to try this on my eyelids under my eyeshadow as a base. This worked AMAZING!! My eyelids are a bit crepey and have fine lines. This smoothed them completely and made my shadows pop and stay on longer. I was so impressed with how this took a good 10 years off my eyelids that I braved it and used it on my cheekbones. It smoothed my skin there as well. This is like an anti-aging magic wand and possibly the best eyeshadow base for aging eyes I've seen. This is now a kit staple and something I can't do without out.
Farmacy Vitamin C Bright on mask: LOVE THIS!! My skin looks so amazing after using this. It's slightly addicting. I thought nothing could give me similar results to my GlamGlow mud. I was wrong. This mask is now my "going out" mask. If i want my makeup to lay extra smooth and my skin to glow, I put this on before i go out. It tightens, brightens, and smooths. Love it sooo much!
Overall, I felt like they somehow read my mind on this box and just knew what I needed. I will definitely be trying to get another one next year.
