Give Me Glow Deep Waters, Jade, Blue Jeans, Bubbles, Satellite, Icicle Foiled Pressed Shadows Reviews & Swatches

Give Me Glow Deep Waters Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a brighter, medium blue with slightly warmer, green-gold shimmer that gave it a shiny, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with good adhesion to bare skin while blending out well along the edges. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and moderately dense but picked up well with a dry brush. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before creasing faintly. Give Me Glow Jade Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a darker aqua with subtle, cool undertones and a bright, metallic finish. The texture Continue Reading…

Vacation Hair: Do You Bother Styling Your Hair When You’re on a Trip?

Vacation Hair: Do You Bother Styling Your Hair When You’re on a Trip?

It really depends on what kind of trip it is.

If it’s a trip involving outdoor adventures like camping, or visiting the beach or a pool on any given day, then chances are the styling will be minimal — after shampooing and conditioning (I wash my hair every day), I’ll work in some leave-in conditioner, let it air dry and then do a ponytail, bun or a french twist with a claw clip. Maybe if I’m feeling ambitious I’ll comb the cray-cray baby hairs down with some brow gel.

Funny thing is whenever we take these kind of outdoorsy trips, even though I know I’ll be doing the bare minimum with my hair, that doesn’t stop me from bringing a styling tool every single time. What can I say? There’s something about having the option to do my hair that’s kinda comforting to me!

Case in point: right now there’s a t3 curling iron sitting in my luggage, and even though I probably won’t touch it during the trip, I like knowing it’s there in case I change my mind.

Now, if the trip centers around sightseeing in a city, then I’ll usually try to style it, even if it’s just a few loose curls with my curling iron, so my hair doesn’t look too crazy in pictures.

Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 737

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

    1. Do fragrance ads make you laugh?

    Yes! I think most of them are silly. They’re usually people running or rolling in the sand looking semi-drenched, holding instruments or whatnot and staring into the camera.

    2. Eye patches for skincare: love ’em or leave ’em?

    I mean they feel good at the time, but I don’t really notice any difference. But I won’t say no if somebody offers me a de-puffing pair for underneath my eyes.

    3. Favorite berry?

    Strawberry.

    4. Have you ever jumped from a high diving board?

    Not a man-made one, but I jumped off the rock at Waimea, which is pretty high. I’m guessing 25 feet? Technically not a board, but I still jumped!

    5. Favorite taco?

    Fish! I love breaded fish tacos. Mmm…

    6. Which one freaks you out more: earthquakes or tornados?

Give Me Glow Matte Pressed Shadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 2 of 4)

Give Me Glow High by the Beach Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a deep, navy blue with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that applied fairly evenly and blended out with some effort but was workable. The consistency was soft, lightly powdery with a touch of fallout during application. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly. Give Me Glow Starboy Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark blue with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff Continue Reading…
