How cute is this collection? I've loved The Muppets since I can remember. I think my first introduction was Kermit on Sesame Street, and then Muppet Babies. I always remember Miss Piggy being my favorite, who's yours?



The Makeup:
I am really impressed with the quality, I've not use celebrate moi, winter wear, or celebrate in style from the palette yet, but every other shadow has preformed well. Snow Business I used by itself on grocery shopping day, and I was in a bit of a hurry. I don't love it alone, it's a bit too light for that, but I don't think that's what the shadow was intended for either. 

I really like all four super shock shadows, I did that look with no eye primer to see how well they'd do. The gold (Wocka Wocka) lessens a bit in intensity, however with a primer I think it'd do great. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the red (Beat Drums) did, a good red shadow is hard to find.

The glowing lips were also a hit, they glide on, and stay put pretty well for a hydrating lip product (which I need this time of year). I like all four shades, but my favorite is Chill, Chill, Chill. (Shocked it's not the nude?)


The surprise out of the collection was the glitter gel (It's Moi). Admittedly I am not typically a fan of glitter, because it's so messy. This isn't, and I applied it with a brush. It glides on, and dries down nicely. It's not sticky, and I couldn't feel it on my face like some products. I'm easily annoyed by textured makeup, but had no issues with this.


My Looks:

1) Just the lip.


2)



3)



4)




5)


6) Super Shock Shadows.




7) Grocery day (mentioned above).




Cons:

The glitter gel is workable for about 20 seconds, then it's dried down.

Woka Woka had to be built up, and still faded (no primer, will revisit).

Warning label on Be Cool shade. (This is for all brands, Can y'all stop putting these type of shades in EYE shadow palettes?)

Have a great day,

November Makeup Looks

 Hey Y'all!


I did a few more looks in November, but... it's well past time to do something with this hair. Y 'all'll see... Also, I need to find a better place/remember to take photos. I was doing them in the bathroom, as it has the best lighting, but I've covered the window (tinted it) for privacy, but I don't love how dark it is in there now that the season has changed and it cloudy more often than not.

I know I didn't photo Black Friday, and I'm sure a few other times, but here are the November Looks:

1)


2)


3)


4)


5)

6) Friendsgiving!



7)


8) Thanksgiving!



I don't love any of these looks, but if I had to pick a favorite it's either of the Thanksgiving looks. I think part of it was I just wasn't in a makeup mood for much of November. I've already done (and photographed) 4 or 5 looks in December. Most of those are for the ColourPop x Disney's Muppets Collection review that will be posted Friday! Quick question, and please leave your response in the comments below, Do you want to see swatches in that review as well? 

Also if y'all have hair ideas please send them my way... 


Have a great day,
