The Huda Beauty 9 pan palettes have been quite popular since they started releasing them. The brand recently released three new palettes in this format that are neon themed. The Ruby palette is limited edition and part of the Precious Stone collection which launched in 2018. It's the second palette that I own, I previously reviewed the Mauve palette here. While these palettes do seem smaller, they still offer a good quantity of product and they're priced fair. I like that the palettes offer both mattes and shimmers, and have a nice range of shades to complete a look.

Happy National Lipstick Day! Today I wanted to mention three Canadian brands that are under the same umbrella group. These are three brands that I would also like to explore more as a Candian makeup enthusiast. The three brands are Lise Watier, Marcelle and Annabelle Cosmetics. They all fall under the Groupe Marcelle.

Lise Watier is a brand I've had my eye on for a while This is a more prestige Candian brand and their collections always seem really well thought out and curated but I haven't taken the plunge yet. I was sent this Rouge Fondant Supreme Lipstick and the packaging alone is really nice. This lipstick is very hydrating, lightweight and it has a shiny finish; available in 40 shades. It has concentrated labrador tea extract and is rich in antioxidants. They also quite a few nude shades available in this range and I would like to try out more shades.

The Peripera Ink Skin Tint is a new favourite of mine. This product provides a light, natural coverage that is very easy to work with and while I've been loving it in the summers, I'm sure it'll be a great fit in the winter too. When I first saw this product online I thought of the Glossier Skin Tint and Mac Face and Body. I recently saw a video from The Beauty Breakdown where she used Korean Beauty products to dupe Glossier products and this was in her video.

This gorgeous vibrant palette is a second collaboration between Tammi Clark (Youtuber and Instagram Influencer) and Makeup Revolution. It's released in the spring, and it's perfect for summer. While I believe this palette had the colourful eyeshadow wearer in mind, it's also great for those who want a "pop of colour" or those who are enjoying the trend this summer of having a wash of colour. This palette has 18 shades; 7 shimmers and 11 mattes and retails for 15$.

It's Boxycharm unboxing time on the blog. I look forward to this each month, and I normally can't wait to see spoilers and variations that will be in the boxes. This month the theme is "Au Naturale" and for the most part, I think my items match the theme. Boxycharm is a monthly subscription service and costs 21$ US, as a Canadian, I pay around 35$ which includes the shipping and exchange rate. The value of items in the box always surpasses the price of the box itself.  I like the box because it's a surprise to see what's inside each month, it gives me an opportunity to try new items I wouldn't necessarily buy myself, and the value is amazing. Let's get into the items, and I'll tell you my thoughts.

Butter London Natural Goddess Eyeshadow Palette MSPR 32$

When I saw this would be in each box, I wasn't that excited to get this palette but now that I have it. It really is pretty and I'm looking forward to trying it out. This is a sleek little palette with 6 shades and I've never tried a Butter London palette.

Makeup Geek is a brand that I want to explore a bit more when I was first started watching Youtube the brand was pretty big but I've always preferred palettes over single shadows and for that reason I didn't really purchase much from them. Recently, Makeup Geek can be found in some Target stores and they've released more palette versions. This particular palette is the Peach Bellini, a very warm palette. For those who prefer cooler toned palettes, you can check out the Champagne and Roses palette. This is currently 19$ on the Makeup Geek site.
