Trend Alert: Tropical Eyeshadow (AND SOME AMAZING DUPES)

Summer may not actually be here but it is when it comes to makeup! Take a peek at the latest eyeshadow trend for this summer!


It is definitely starting to feel like spring/summer here in Oklahoma and the eyeshadow trends are starting to match how it feels outside! The weather is changing and so are the eyeshadow trends, so let me tell you what's up. 

Tropical colors are in and honestly, I am here for it. Warm oranges, yellows, pinky reds, warm and neutral browns, golds, and the pops of blue are popping up everywhere. Don't believe me? Well let me show you...





There's plenty more I could show you but I believe you get the point. 

I've been rocking an eyeshadow look that I was inspired by Tati Westbrook did with the Natasha Denona Tropic Eyeshadow Palette. She used Pastel Melon, Fake Tan, Vintage Taupe, Exotic, Coco, and Limoncello and it looked gorgeous. However, the Natasha Denona Tropic Palette is $130 and that's a miss for me.

Yeah, I was obsessed with this look.. no shame though

So what did I do??? I looked for a cheaper palette to dupe that same exact look.


This look was created with a palette that (get this), only costs $5 at the drugstore! The Wet N Wild Not A Basic Peach Palette is a great dupe for Tati's eyelook. She has even raved about these exact Wet N Wild Palettes before on her YouTube Channel, which further encouraged me to purchase the palette. If you're really into the tropical eyeshadow trend, this palette is perfect and it won't break your bank!


I was blown away by the quality of these shadows and how blendable the matte shadows where. They are soft like butter and just blend so perfectly. I love to wet my brush and go in with that blue shade, gold shade, or red/orange shade to get a nice pop of color on the lid. 

Maybe you want more variety in a palette, and I don't blame you. Trend following might not be your thing and you don't want to buy one specific palette for a specific trend. Fear not, the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette can come in clutch for you!

The palette has so much variety. You can take it from natural to colorful, subdued to bold, daytime to nighttime. It is the palette to do anything and everything. I was able to recreate Tati's look almost exactly thanks to this palette.

11/10 photo by yours truly

Sadly the sun went down and I didn't capture the greatest photo of my eye look but oh well. You get the gist of what I am trying to accomplish. This eye look definitely lasted longer (in terms of fading) than the Wet N Wild but it doesn't nix the Wet N Wild Palette out of the running at all. Both palettes look great on the eyes, it's a matter of personal preference.

I did really love the outcome of this look with the Jaclyn Hill Palette. For reference, here are the shadows I used to replicate Tati's look.


If you don't have a palette with all the exact shades, it never hurts to use multiple palettes. The shades in the Huda Beauty Electric and Warm Brown Obsessions Palettes together replicate the shades used almost exactly. Using shades out of a warm toned palette and getting yourself a Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Banana Daiquiri, Ibiza, Cusp, or Coconut (if you want a darker blue rather than a teal) on the lid using your finger can accomplish the same look. 

Spending a $130 is not always necessary when you can easily due the shades with Colourpop shadows or other eyeshadow palettes!

I like to pair these eyeshadow colors with more orangey toned lipsticks, or a little bit of an orange lipstick and the Fenty Glossbomb. I love to pair my BH Cosmetics Luxe Lacquer Lipstick in Abea (brown/pinkier nude) if I use more blushy oranges/reds in my crease. Subdued corals look nice as well to compliment the blue but not contrasting your crease shades too much.

If you are inspired by my post, feel free to tag me in your looks because I would love to see them!

Sephora vs Ulta: Which Do I Prefer?

Read about my input as to which I prefer and why! Chances are, if you live by a Sephora, you live by an Ulta.  The two stores are quite similar when it comes down to what they offer: a wide option of makeup brands that vary in price to tailor to your needs. However, if you've been in both store before, you notice the obvious differences. LOCATION Starting off with location, Sephora's are typically in a mall (or at least every one I've been in is) and it's lethal to my bank account. My Sephora is located right across from the Starbucks and the Chick-fil-a in the center of the mall and it stares at me every time I walk by, and of course I walk in. There's only one Sephora in the Oklahoma City Metro, making it very crowded. I try to avoid the magnetic pull of Sephora when it's the weekend because my feet are always getting stepped on by people or getting rolled over by a baby stroller. It's inconvenient in my opinion and bothers me during my shoppin...

My Thoughts: Sephora x Moschino Collab

Hear my thoughts on the Sephora x Moschino launch and collaboration. I'll be going in full depth about the whole collection! In this post, I will be talking about my thoughts on the Sephora x Moschino collection that just recently launched. Sephora used the Moschino Bear, that was introduced in 2014 by designer Jeremy Scott (I believe), as inspiration for this 7 item collection that is to die for. If you are not familiar with the designer brand, the Moschino Bear is essentially the brand's image and is all over their clothes and accessories. The pop culture brand joined forces with one of the world's largest makeup company for the collaboration of the year! Hear my in depth thoughts about the whole collection and let's dive right in! PACKAGING  You have to admit, even if you're not a packaging fanatic (like me), this is the CUTEST packaging ever. Out of all the things in the collection, I love the mini lip gloss set with the necklace. Jeffree Star...

Anti-Haul: Summer 2017

Some of these products coming out aren't grabbing my attention and I'll be explaining why I will not be purchasing them! Throughout the summer, a lot of summer collections have already dropped but big beauty brands are now prepping for their fall/holiday collections. Some products have been teased, others leaked. So without any hesitation, let's dive into this anti-haul.  Anti-haul: A term made famous by beauty bloggers discussing what products they will not be purchasing that season TOO FACED WHITE CHOCOLATE BAR PALETTE This palette honestly looks like trash. Actually, let me backtrack that statement, the green, the peachy shade in the bottom left corner, and the orange shade look good, everything else is not appealing to me. The White Chocolate Chip Palette wasn't a major success in the first place. It had way too many light shades to really make a full  look. With the WCC's sister, we do see some pops of color and some crease shades and two pot...
