Beauty News!!! and Challange Recap
HELLO!!! Is it spring yet? not where I am...although I am fighting off my annual spring cold, which means maybe it is spring.
Before we get into the weekly sales, let's do a challenge recap.
We are in the second week of our "1 palette 7 days" challenge. This week I used a smoky eye palette from The Body Shop. Some background on this palette-it contains 3 powder colors and 1 cream color. The colors go on easy and evenly, but they don't last. That was my main problem with this palette, I could only do so much because of the fading and creasing. I used primer and sometimes the cream shadow before I applied the powders, however, nothing worked to stop the creasing. These shadows are an absolute fail! I was worried I wouldn't get a lot of fun creative looks with these typical colors. Even if you don't wear makeup all the time, everyone has a smoky eye kit, or that one silver or one black eyeshadow.
Here are the looks I got: (from left to right)
1- black on the lid, cream under the brow, black liner
2-silver in the inner corner, grey in the middle, black in the corner, black liner
3-silver on the lid, grey in the crease, black liner
4-smokey eye-black near the lash line, grey in the middle, silver under the brow, black liner
5-silver on the lid, black in the corner and crease, black liner
6-grey on the lid, black liner
7-silver in the inner corner and under bottom lash line, grey from the middle to the corner, black liner (liquid)
* where it looks sparkly I dabbed on cream shadow
Now that I see all the looks together, they look different. I didn't feel that way while I was doing them. The last look was actually my first attempt at doing something that edgy. It came out good, but I need practice :) Plus it would NEVER stay because, the shadows are so crappy.
We will only be doing this challenge for 2 more weeks, so you still have time to join in! You can always email me your looks, tag me and follow me on instagram @ aprilmaykup.
This week I'll be doing 7 looks using the "Spoiled Brat" palette from Wet n' Wild. It contains a silver, sparkly black and a mauvey pink. This palette is similar to the one I just used, but with a pop of color.
The silver is a more pure silver. The black is still matte but has sparkles in it. I like to say that this palette was my gateway drug, it got me into trying to figure out what the words "crease" and "browbone" meant...and when I couldn't, I just created my own looks :) But, that was ages ago...or so it seems.

BEAUTY NEWS!!!
HELLO AGAIN!!!
Welcome to another fun filled week. My writing schedule has been way too erratic, so I'm going to try and catch up with lots of things I missed.
First, let's do a challenge recap. I just finished the first week of our " 1palette, 7days" challenge, using one small, 3/4 color palette for a week. At random, I chose the Lotus palette by LA Colors (retail value $2, bought on clearance for 80 cents!) I bough this palette b/c I obviously wanted to try the brand, because this is beauty on a budget :) but I also liked the color combination. I had little hope that these colors would have ANY type of pigment , but they weren't all bad. The green was also a frosty white, the pink was super sheer and the blue was actually almost true to color.
I am happy to have that set of colors out of the way! Honestly, out of all my small palettes this one is the only challenging one. I feel like the colors almost resembled clown makeup, I hate to say it, BUT I did find some looks that weren't too crazy and somewhat wearable...maybe not for everyday, but at some time of the day. I realize that I did cheat you out of one look, and I'm still trying to figure out how that happened. Here are the 6 looks:
From left to right
1-green on the lid, blue in the crease, pink highlight, blue NYX gel liner
2-blue by the lash line, pink in the middle/lid, green highlight, blue NYX gel liner
3-pink on the lid, blue in the crease and in outer corner, black liner
4-green in the inner corner, pink in the middle, blue in the outer corner and slightly in the crease
5-green on the lid, pink in outer corner and crease, pink ELF shimmer liner
6-blue all over the lid and over the crease, blue NYX liner
I used NYX primer for all the looks.
My new palette I'll be using for the rest of the week is from The Body Shop. It's a smoky eye kit and contains, black, grey, silver and a white shimmer cream shadow/highlighter. (retail value $30, I got during a semi annual clearance AND 1 day special deal, in a kit with a bronzer and lipgloss for $10!!)

BEAUTY NEWS!!
It appears that everyone is jumping on the charcoal bandwagon. Garnier has a series of new cleansers, one containing charcoal. Is this a good thing? I can see using a charcoal treatment once I month, even once a week, but everyday? Time will tell I guess. I will test them out and report back. I just got a sample of the charcoal wash from Biore. I'll wait to gather more charcoal samples before I start my test. I'll also dig up some more research on charcoal.

I'll be updating you on my progress in a couple weeks and also created a swatch card, so you can see all the colors out of their original packaging.
Come back later this week for part II of the cleanser review, $1 *GEM* and The Best $10 (or less) I ever spent!

30 Day Palette Challenge !!
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!
I am happy to announce that the palette I will be using for the next 30 days is my Leopard palette by Crown.
I bought this during a special on hautelook.com a few months ago, so we'll approximate the value @$20.
(side note there are crown brush sets and makeup currently on sale at hautelook)
Pros
- 36 colors
- Different color families
- Variety
- Lights and darks
- Fashion and neutral colors
Cons
- No black or white
- All shimmer finishes
- Opalescence of the colors make the color change with different angles and lighting. I could possibly walk out the house with something that looked fabulous at home but terrible in different lighting.
this is a pic of some of the colors and my little note :)
