I got this beauty that is the Lime Crime Venus XL Palette from Ulta during their sale, and I couldn't be happier that I decided to pick it up! I was putting it off because I had just bought the Jeffree Star Blood Sugar Palette and this one seemed like a lot of pinks and red just like that one. However, the two palettes actually compliment each other really well!
There's 18 new shades here, and the palette itself is the size of the two previous Venus palettes put together. Here is a shot of the shadows with flash and without flash:
I swatched each row with no primer/base so that you can see how pigmented they are. Most of the mattes in this palette feel SUPER dry to the touch, but I haven't had issues with them blending or performing at all.
Eden - semi-metallic pale brick red
Love - warm metallic gold
Passion - matte magenta
Fresca - mauvey taupe base with gold glitter
Inspired - metallic berry
Idolize - matte caramel
Aphrodite - matte deep berry
Nu Classic - metallic bronzey brown
Burnt Gold - matte medium brown
Flora - matte bright coral
Scallop - matte peach
Celestial - matte brownish berry with gold glitter
Ethereal - iridescent pinky coral
Triumph - matte mauvey pink
Supreme - matte purple-berry
Blank Canvas - matte cream
Boticelli - matte blackened plum
Goddess - rosy pink satin
That Boticelli color is EXTREMELY pigmented but also the driest feeling of the bunch. I should also mention that the darker shades tend to stain without a good base, so that is something to keep in mind. Other than that, I really enjoy this palette and think it's beautiful! If you are a lover of pinks and reds, it's a definite must.
My Scary Eyes Review
I was recently contacted by My Scary Eyes and asked if I would like to review a pair of their contact lenses. I chose the Multi Color Lenses to review for you today.
The kit I received contains everything you need - a bottle of lens solution, a contact lens case, and the contacts, which come in individually sealed bubble packs:
I thought these were really pretty - they're almost a "pinwheel" design of pastel colors. I have brown eyes, so it's odd for me to see myself with much lighter ones!
These are definitely super fun and I love that they sent a contact lens case along with them, because I have received contacts from several places before where they only send the little bubble packs and you have to make sure you have your own case to put them in.
The lenses came very fast, it only took about 4 days to receive them. Please note that they do not provide vision correction lenses/prescription lenses, so take that into consideration.
If you are looking for a variety of fun, cool looking contacts, please check them out at myscaryeyes.com and on Instagram at @MyScaryEyess

Yet another Hi-Lite palette from Lime Crime! The Fairies palette does not disappoint.
I was worried at first that the colors in this palette may be too dark for me to use as highlighters, but as I have found with their past highlighting palettes, the colors usually don't look as intense on the skin as they do in the pans. This one is the same - you will see in the swatches that these colors are light and shimmery.
The colors are, from left to right, Magic, Moonlight and Enchantment. Magic is a warm gold. Moonlight is a pale lavender with a blue shift. Enchantment is a champagne peach with gold shift (my fave!)
Here they are swatched, with and without flash:
As you can see, the sheerness of these is what makes them work on so many skintones. The Lime Crime Hi-Lites are always super pigmented, yet don't have a solid base color that will make them too ashy on dark skintones, or too harsh on light skintones. This is why I continue to buy them - there's so many color options when you start mixing the shades together, and they give your skin a beautiful glow. Love them, and love this palette!
