Happy Thirsty Thursday Fam! Today, I have a GRWM (Get Ready With Me) with a little Thirsty Thursday and Chit Chat. It seems like forever since I have filmed myself doing my makeup. It’s a long video – so grab something to drink and a snack and come hang out with me!
Here’s a few photos featuring this look.

Happy Happy Tuesday friends! Over the last month or two, I’ve been seeing the Glamnetic Magnetic Lashes ads all over Facebook and Instagram… even Tiktok. I’ll admit that…
I have been really trying new products lately and all of them I have gotten at affordable prices. I can do a review or share swatches of these products individually if you would like, so let me know. Today on my YouTube channel I share with you a collective beauty haul, featuring CColor Cosmetics, Ulta Beauty 21 Days of Beauty, ColourPop and Morphe. Want to see what I picked up?

I’m so excited to share with you the Emily Edit Palettes, a collaboration between Makeup Revolution and EmilyNoel83, one of my favorite Beauty YouTubers.
Who is EmilyNoel83?
When I started doing YouTube videos 10+ years ago, I remember being one of the first 200 subscribers to EmilyNoel83. She was a news reporter named Emily Noel who had a bubbly personality. Emily filmed her videos in a small apartment with that “newscaster” flair and “girl next door” attitude, which I love. She offers honest and truthful reviews that are not sponsored. Her easy to follow makeup tutorials are for all levels of skill. Cupcake (that’s her cat) would steal the show and make appearances. Now, several years later, I’ve watched Emily have two beautiful little girls and build a channel that I value and respect.
Emily’s love for life, positivity and informative style is endearing and keeps her audience coming back for more.

Now, 10 years later, she’s collaborating with Makeup Revolution. I’m so excited to share this collab with all of you.
The Emily Edit – The Needs Palette
The Needs Emily Edit was designed to be a “greatest hits” of the brand. A full-face style palette that really offers a “multi-tasking” use for each shade. This beautiful palette is full of positivity, featuring Emily’s personal shade names that have a special color identity. Gorgeously cased in pale pink packaging with Emily’s signature in rose gold.
Shades included in The Needs:
Courage – a medium brown, bronzer and contour shade with a matte finish
Joy – peachy pink blush with a matte finish
Gratitude – a creamy highlight with a satin finish
Kindness – cream translucent powder with a matte finish (Emily likes to use it as an under-eye powder)
Honesty – blush peach, satin finish
Passion – dark brown, with a red shimmer
Peace – peachy nude, matte finish
Faith – warm brown, matte finish
Hope – fudge brown, matte finish
Love – cream shade with a matte finish
I’m over the moon in love with these shades and the palette in a whole. The Needs offers you the perfect travel palette because it has everything you need to create a look. Every powder in this palette is silky and creamy. Whether creating a smokey or neutral eye look, this palette has you covered. The perfect “everyday” palette.
Left to Right Swatches: Courage, Joy, Gratitude, Kindness, Honesty, Passion, Peace, Faith, Hope and Love.
Did I mention how large the mirror is? A large mirror (the size of the palette) makes this ideal for any makeup lover. The palette casing is sturdy and beautiful, offering it a lux look with great names. Also, I love opening this palette and looking at the shade names, it’s so inspiring.
The Emily Edit – The Wants Palette
Emily Edit The Wants palette has easily become one of my favorites in my eyeshadow collection. This gorgeous piece features 24 colors in a combination of matte, satin and shimmer shades. What I love the most about this palette is the universal color range and how it works well with all skin tones. But, I am absolutely crushing on the color selection as well.
The Wants palette is encased in a pale peach packaging with Emily’s signature in rose gold.
When you buy this palette, you may notice that each color is laid out in little quads that you can use together to create a cohesive look. However, the colors all work well together so there are a plethora of combinations you can use to create a gorgeous look.

** Note that these swatches are done directly on my hand without any primer or base. Many of these colors are applied to my skin in one swipe, so bare in mind that they can be built up to obtain a darker and richer shade. I am a medium skin tone.
To create this look, I followed Emily’s Tutorial here, Rich Fall Glam. I’m using all the shades she mentioned in this look. Shades used: Heartbeat, Oh Heavens!, Top Story, Dark & Early, Cheer, Corduroy, Side Hustle and Grateful.

“I wanted this palette to inspire but could also allow you to stay in your comfort zone. I wanted the perfect balance of light, medium and really rich dark shades. I want the colors to be buildable, so you can reach that level of intensity that you want. You can create countless looks and endless creativity.”

For this look I’m using a combination of The Needs Palette and The Wants Palette. Shades used include: Honesty, Passion, Gratitude & Peace (The Needs) and Good Vibes and Dark & Early (The Wants)
My Final Thoughts
It is not often that I run out and buy a makeup palette that is a collaboration with any particular YouTuber. But, as soon as I found out about this one, I knew I had to have it. RevolutionxEmily The Needs and The Wants Palettes are beautiful and created so well. I’ve mentioned the packaging previously, but I must reiterate that I really love how sturdy these palettes are. Let’s talk about the price point too. The Needs palette is just $15 and The Wants Palette is $20. It’s not only affordable for anyone to purchase, but it is also great quality for the price point.

Way to Go Emily!
Though haven’t been wearing much makeup lately, the moment that I picked these up, I’ve been using them daily. Both palettes have become favorites and I know I’ll be getting a ton of use out of them. Mirrored hardshell case and beautiful shades in creamy shadows, yes… this is a must-have for anyone of any age.
EmilyNoel83 is one of my favorite YouTubers (she’s even listed on my YouTube Favorites List), so I am so excited and proud of her and her accomplishments. These palettes are definitely Homeruns in my book and I’m loving them!
You can purchase these palettes where available at: https://www.revolutionbeautyusa.com/, http://ultabeauty.com or in person at your local Ulta Store.

About two months ago I was introduced to Emme Diane by a fellow beauty blogger named Jen (MyBeautyBunny). She raved about how great the Emme Diane Tinted…
If you’ve been following me on social media the last couple of months, then you know that I’ve been traveling between islands quite frequently for medical reasons. I must say, that packing up everything you need for a week into one carry-on bag is one of the most difficult things to do, especially if you’re a beauty and makeup lover. But, thanks to the MYO Cosmetic Case, I was able to take my necessities with me without a hassle. I’m all about the life of products that really make life a breeze so today I’m gonna introduce you to the MYO Cosmetic Case and hopefully it can help you out too.
MYO Cosmetic Cases give you the opportunity to travel with your most important cosmetics without the hassle of packing them in separate containers. Everything you need is right where you need it. They are similar to your standard magnetic makeup palette but offer so much more. There’s no need for bulky liquid and cream containers in separate packaging or a brush roll to carry your necessary brushes to create your look. You can fit just about anything into these palettes, thanks to its awesome design and addition of liquid/cream containers.
Known as the “Cosmetic Clutch” the MYO Cases were the Winner of the 2017 Cosmoproof North America Trendsetter Award. The cases are designed to support modern women and allow them to “go everywhere and experience everything”.
What makes the MYO Cosmetic Clutch so fun and cool for me is that you can fit everything in there. Pencils (eyeliner, lip liner, brows, etc.) and your favorite eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, and powder products that you can depot. But the MYO Beauty Pods really take it to a whole new level. Each MYO Cosmetic Clutch comes with 3 MYO Beauty Pods that are designed so that you can securely carry your lotions, creams, serums and loose powders with you on the go. This was extremely helpful for me when I needed to go through TSA since it allowed me the right amount of product without going over travel regulations.
Each Beauty Pod holds the standard amount of skincare products and are easy to use, wash and reuse. They come in two sizes and they have an air and water resistant seal. Made of medical grade material so that they are safe for your products. They can hold everything from toothpaste to pills and eyelashes, small earrings. The possibilities are endless.
You could fill your entire palette with depotted eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers or highlighters or decide to mix it up a bit with a variety of different products, not just powder products like a traditional magnetic palette. And, if you love a little color or want your palette to match your style, you can choose between other colors besides black: fuchsia, turquoise, and silver.
A MYO Cosmetic Clutch Kit comes complete with the following:
3 MYO Beauty Pods (2×1.4g & 1×1.7g)
2 MYO Style Sticks (to help organize and separate certain products as well as keep things like pencils and brushes in place)
1 MYO Cosmetic Circlet – Choice of Color – Black, Silver, Fuchsia, or Turquoise.
Retail: $45.00
MYO Cosmetic Cases also offers a variety of different accessories to use with your cosmetic clutch. Additional Beauty Pods can be purchased in sets of 3 for $9.00 and Transparent Beauty Pods as an add-on to your order. They are sold in a set of 4 for $9.00
MYO Cosmetic Cases are perfect for the jet-setter or person who wants to keep their favorite cosmetic necessities with them at all times. It’s compact and lightweight and offers you the opportunity to have everything you need in one handy little case.
So what about you, have you heard of the MYO Cosmetic Case? If so, what do you think about it? If not, is this something you think you wouldn’t mind checking out.

I’m a wholehearted believer that great makeup application is done with great tools. But, over the years I’ve learned that your tools or makeup do not need to be expensive or have a luxury price tag to get the job done. I have tried a variety of different tools from different brands and I can attest that quality and cost are not always one in the same. Beauty Junkees has easily become one of my favorite makeup brush brands (and makeup brands for that matter) and today I’m sharing with all of you a new collection of brushes.
Beauty Junkees is a brand I’ve talked about here on the blog many times. I’ve recommended their products to many friends and readers over the years and it’s become a favorite of mine to use for just about every and any occasion. What I love about Beauty Junkees is that they are so affordable, that it makes creating your everyday makeup looks an absolute breeze. Beauty Junkees brushes and cosmetic products are sold via their website and on their Amazon Storefront.
Let’s talk about their new Duo Fiber Collection. Retailing for just $29.97, this set includes 6 brushes and come with a faux leather zip-up bag. Each brush is labeled with its use/name so that beginners or pros can utilize the tool for what it’s for. The 6 piece Duo Fiber Makeup Brush Set has long and short synthetic hairs to pick up and distribute the perfect amount of makeup. Each application will provide a sheer, flawless, skin-perfecting finish. Back in my freelance days I often used duo-fiber brushes to apply cream and liquid products so that it left the skin and application soft and blended. The short bristles hold the product, while the long bristles blend to a featherweight finish. These brushes work great with liquids, creams, and powders. They are ideal brushes for acneic, scarred, dry or aging skin. Each brush comes with a solid wood handle with double crimped copper ferrules. I love how soft these are and the fact that there is such a great selection of brush type in this set. You can literally create a look using just this set of brushes, from foundation and concealer down to the eye makeup and highlight. These brushes do not shed and are just perfect considering the price point and how affordable they are.
The Pro Powder set comes with 3 brushes and retails for $19.97. This gorgeous brush set also comes in a faux leather zip-up bag and is also labeled for easy to use simplicity. The 3 Piece Pro Powder Makeup Brush Set is best used to apply powder all over the face and body for that gorgeous, polished finish. These brushes work great with loose, pressed, minerals, blush, contour and highlighter powders and I love how soft and fluffy they are. They are made with high density synthetic Taklon bristles and are vegan-friendly. Each brush comes with a solid wood handle, double crimped copper ferrule and is created to not shed. I love this set because it is the perfect type of brush for an effortless application or all over color. Did I mention these were soft? My gosh, they are so soft that it’s hard to not want to pet them 😉
I’m always excited to try new products from the Beauty Junkees line. The brand has flourished and extended their line of products a lot since I first started using the brand about three years ago. With over 200 makeup brushes in my collection, I find that I will always pull for a Makeup Junkees brush before any other brand. I am also a huge fan of the different makeup they now have available – from eyeshadows to blush and highlight (lippies and brow products too). Beauty Junkees is becoming one of my favorite brands for a wide selection of beauty products. You can search {Beauty Junkees} on the blog and read up on some of my favorites from the brand.
If you’re like me and love a minimal makeup look or go for a glammed up smoky eye, I definitely suggest checking out what Beauty Junkees has to offer. I think that price really doesn’t always determine the quality and in this case, the quality surpasses the price point making these brush sets an absolute steal.
