Lately I've been loving HUDA eye shadow palettes but it wasn't until I had stumbled on the HUDA Gemstone Obsessions palette that I really got weird about starting an entire HUDA palette collection (I miss this vanity/set up). I mean, can we just... talk about how GORGEOUS this palette is? I'm a sucker for shimmer and glitter shades so this was right up all my ally's, let me tell you!
I ended up buying myself the HUDA Desert Dusk palette shortly after over the Rose Gold Remastered that I had originally told myself I was going to get and now I sort of regret not sticking to my original plan...
Then my fiance got me the HUDA Nude palette I had been itching for for Christmas.
I MEAN LOOK AT IT.
I'm in love with the four reflective shades, I just hate how one swipe/swatch and you sort of mess up the patterns of the pearl flecks so I'm trying to be careful and not ruin how pretty they are. Which I'm sure, at some point is bound to happen... BUT LET ME PROLONG THIS FATE OF DOOM ok? I love that the palette includes two glitter shades though I sometimes find them hard to work with/hard not to ruin as well and enough mattes to create the perfect look.
I wouldn't really call the shades in this palette "nude" however since there's a lot of berry tones. Or well more than what you would usually find in a "nude" palette.
The fiance and I went on a "date day" and I had to find a look for this top.
Oh hey Baby Lo, you're looking mighty... very much there these days. With your 28 week self! Bubba got me this cute maternity top from Target and I wanted to find a purple in my collection that would match.
You'd think the HUDA Amethyst palette, right?
WRONG.
The purples in that palette were not the purples I was looking for. At all. It was literally strange. And a little disappointing.
I remember checking out Syrup by MAC back when I first started doing beauty videos in 2009 because Fafinette always talked about how much she loved it. She was also a lighter complexion than I am. I remember hating it so much because my lips are pigmented so colors don't look as good on me as they would on someone else and I think since I was still getting use to makeup in general I was being a picky brat without giving things an actual chance.
Syrup is a dusty rose with a little bit of a brown undertone I'd say. Or maybe it's just a dusty rose. I don't know, I suck at describing colors. But I can totally describe scents. I guess one or the other right?
Since it's part of the Lustre line it is a lot more moisturizing than other lipsticks. I didn't feel the need to layer it on top of a balm. In fact I prefer not to because when it fades off my lips it leaves a hint of a really pretty stain. So I don't even usually touch it up at all. Sometimes I will top it with a gloss but nothing pigmented enough to take away from the color.
I've been rocking this lip color for the last two weeks and you know what.... it's not so bad.
I actually kind of really like it. It's a nice every day color that isn't my usual classic red or dark red. It's hard for me to find a good every day lip color and I certainly wasn't expecting it to be Syrup when I picked it up. I honestly just picked it because the color I really wanted was sold out (sin something). But I think we've come to an understanding!
Have you ever hated then ended up loving a product?
