Magic in the Mar Palette

 Colourpop has done it again! They just release two brand new palettes.. Sol and Mar and actually it's not their newest palette because they just released their Zodiac collection with Kathleen Lights... Which I am so excited to receive in the mail.. but anyway getting back to the Mar palette. I feel a lot more drawn to the teals and blues in this palette even though I love the Sol palettes bronzey fire shades.

I bit the bullet and bought the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dream Glow Kit, I kept going back and forth with wanting this palette but I think I saw someone on Youtube say this was really good and I don't regret it. Yes, there's glitter in the shades but this is such a fun palette to use especially in the Summer. They are also beautiful inner corner highlights as well..




 Here's my look:

Violet Voss Flamingo Palette

Evey since Violet Voss teased their new Flamingo Palette I was counting down the days when they were going to release it. This was one of those palettes I bought on pre sale. I'm not disappointed whatsoever. This is such a fun palette fun summer and the shimmers are a foiled formula that is just so bright and bold on the eyes. I've just been wearing these shadows non stop.

Glass Bull Is No Bull.

It would be no surprise to anyone that in May Colourpop dropped a whole brand new Birthday collection. Celebrating 4 years of being a company. I remember 4 years ago I was randomly searching for Indie makeup brands and stumbled along this brand called Colourpop and they had these really cool and unique eye shadows, that were creamy and intense and these things called Lippie Stix and they were so affordable so I made a purchase and after that I started seeing their brand all over Youtube and then they slowly came out with new product like blushes and highlighters and then they just grew to the brand they are today.

Today's look is using their new Fortune palette which is very warm toned with oranges and berry tones and also one of their pressed shadows in the shade Glass Bull, which is so intense and duo chrome it paired really nicely with this look.

Another new addition to their collection is the Hi Shine Ultra Glossy lips and I love this formula!! It makes your lips so juicy and very flattering. Champagne Mami was the color of choice and I'm almost out of this shade, I will definitely  be needing a back up soon..

I'm not a regular Kat.. I'm a cool Kat

As someone who watched the American Idol reboot, there's something I have to ask... What happened to Katy Perry?? I used to love her when she first came out. Saw her in concert and was blown away by her voice, production and just her artistry.. but for the last year or so I feel like she's trying to figure out who she is as an artist and watching her week by week on Idol, she just seems like she's a hot mess...  Has she always been this way and we just never noticed?  I don't really know the answer and I hope that she is alright and I always want the best for her and I try to find things that I still really like about her and one thing is clear that she always has the full beat on her face and she always looks flawless.

I picked up one of her eye shadow palettes because they just looked so cute and I grabbed the Cool Kat palette because I already have 50 million warm toned eye shadows and the color selection in the Cool one looked really interesting almost unicorn like with their shimmers and duo chrome shades.

One thing is certain you have to either wet a brush to use the glitter shades or use a glitter glue, which I used the NYX glitter glue which is one of my favorites or the fall out is real with this one.
It really complimented the Colourpop Fame palette being another cool toned palette.

Inifnity War Red Carpet Look

I am a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and pretty every movie they have put out I have loved (with the exception of Iron Man 3.. ) and I was so excited for Avengers Infinity War because this was the ultimate movie where all the movies get together and kick ass.. Don't get me wrong I did love it but I'm only because of the ending of the movie and I won't spoil it for anyone because it was good. I'm just torn I guess..

Anyways Scarlett Johansson's makeup was so much fun on the red carpet, which with her I feel like she goes all out or it's plain natural makeup.  This look was completed with one of my favorite palettes of the moment the BH Weekend Festival palette and a few random purple shades from the Colourpop Festival collection.

Lucy Hale: Pretty In Pink

This look was done later in the Spring, it kinda got lost in the shuffle but it was still a really pretty pink look.  I kinda took more of an inspiration from the look Allan Avendano did on Lucy because I wanted to add some sparkle to the look. I used the Colourpop Supernova shadow in Over Again, which is a hot pink but it has almost a purple flip to it.

I'm still really loving the Weekend Festival Palette from BH Cosmetics, it's such a fun edition to my collection, especially during the summer.

For the lips I used Love Bite, which is an Ultra Blotted lip but it's a soft pink.
