I recently purchased a Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette in "In the Tropics" despite some less than awesome reviews saying the shadows were not pigmented. after trying the shadow I must say I completely disagree with those people The shadows were really pigmented when I used them (I applied them over Hard Candy primer.) I purchased this palette on sale for $15 it is normally $27 and is still on sale on the Sephora website. I don't really like the front of the packaging but it has a nice big mirror on the inside and I like how the shadows are raised. I applied the shadow at about 4:45 am and I didn't notice creasing at all throughout the day even when I removed it at about 4:00 pm. The colors were extremely vibrant and looked gorgeous. The shimmer in the shadow is a tad to much for me it is kind of chunky and more glittery than shimmery, but once I was finished it looked beautiful. I the colors made my blue eyes really stand out and people told me how blue my eyes looked all day. It is definitely more of a Green/Blue eyed palette but would still be gorgeous with brown eyes! I forgot to take a picture of the look I did but I'll do a tutorial soon. Overall I think this is a great palette and would definitely recommend it to others. I give this product an 8/10 two points deducted for packaging and the glitter,
Always,

In this post I will be telling you how I do my everyday makeup. Sorry for the not so great quality pics my Camera was not cooperating. Yay for my first real post!

Next I apply concealer, Stilla Stay all Day, to my problem areas. I then apply elf pressed powder to my T-zone and other excessively oily areas, to prevent my skin from looking to dewy.

Now I apply bronzer, ELF using my angle brush from Ulta, under my cheekbones, on my temples, on the sides of my nose, and under my bottom lip. I also apply blush onto my cheekbones. 

Next I apply mascara on all of my lashes. Then i use a pencil eyeliner, Rimmel Kajal Eye Liner Pencil, on my waterline but only on the outer corner. After that I use Liquid eyeliner, Maybelline Master duo, on my top lid to create a wing, then I use my ulta liquid eyeliner, on the bottom outer edge. I comb my eyebrows and use my Pallidio pencil in brown to fill them in. 

I fix anything that looks out of place and then I'm good to go. I highly recommend the mascara I show in this post it is Volume Accelerator by Rimmel in 003 Extreme Black. I always get a ton of compliments on my lashes when I wear it and I only have to apply about three coats. I wish it came in a waterproof version but other than that I have no complaints. Thanks for reading.
Always,
Maisie
