 Hey guys, it's Monica and I know I know you guys have probably seen a million and one reviews or looks with the Tati palette. I know that but You know, everyone does it a little bit differently. Everyone has different styles. Everyone has different eyelids and You know, I'm 65 my eyelids are really Wrinkly creepy creepy, whatever you want to call it, but they're not smooth by any stretch So for someone my age to use a palette that you know, a younger woman has designed and and And she has beautiful eyelids. I always have to wonder how's it gonna look on me and usually I hold off I don't usually jump in by the latest palette. I'm not a palik a palette of holic The right word. I'm not but I just couldn't resist buying this I really couldn't and it's not that I'm a super fan of Tati's. I'm not I watch some of her videos I don't watch all of her videos, but I was just attracted to the colors And the textures in this palette now everybody is different Like I said, and everyone's gonna have a different opinion So when I ordered this at the same time Sheila from Simply Sheila and Marlene Fab and glam also ordered it And we were just chatting. We hadn't got the palette yet We said wouldn't it be kind of nice to kind of like do sort of a collab, but not really a collab Sort of a staggered type of a collab. We're just our opinions in it So we said we would do that and maybe we would create a look going forward, you know Different looks and all that but sort of a first impression and Sheila got hers first And I'm not sure I think I got mine second Marlene got hers third, but my schedule was really wacky So Sheila I by the time you see this you you may have already seen Sheila's video I will link her video below and you hopefully will probably have already seen Marlene's video I'll put that link in below as well. Mine won't go public until Sunday night So yeah, I get the tatty palette now So if you watch my Instagram you saw that I already done I've already played with it I've already dabbled into it I was really afraid to touch it at first because I was like thinking oh, you know I don't want to look like I'm not doing it and mess up and all that stuff So I'm gonna insert this picture here in a little video clip so you can see the first look I did I've really loved that look it came out very soft It came out in my opinion just pretty pretty pretty and the colors I used I actually used the poet row all the way up all of those colors And then I used a little bit of the Aurora is that what it's called this light one and then the black That's what I did on that first look and I I blended it. I thought the mats Blended beautifully, but holy cow for me for me. They were super super pigmented now I don't use an eye primer the only thing I use on my eyelids and I used it almost all the time And I used it before I use this as the all-over cream brulee from wet and wild That's about that's the only thing I put on my eyelids I don't put makeup on my eyelids no primer nothing else So that's all I had and I created that look as you can see here And I tried to come up close so you could see what my eyes looked like I thought it looked really nice I did have some fallout from the Sequin the second row sequin third row is metallic and then glitter I did have a little bit of a fallout and I'm not too sure I think it was from the sequin row But also from the glitter but every time I use any kind of a powder formula with glitter or sequins or whatever I do I have a little bit of a fallout on my cheeks and stuff like that So I had that and it wasn't really bad at all today. What I did is I used the brown Which is a I wish it was a little bit of a cooler brown And I think I have a cool brown that I really like have different browns that I like But I use this just fine in my crease line And then I went over here and I probably today put too much of the poet on all over my eyes Because I feel like my lids it too pink for me. I would not go out looking as pink as they do right now so and then I went up and I added some of the shimmer some of the Sequins and a little bit of the metallics and then I went in a little bit more a little on the black on the edge and I chopped it off. I also tried this one up here this sun this glitter the black glitter I thought that was really pretty. So, you know really like this truth be told on A scale of one to ten. It's probably a seven for me, but because I'm going to say a seven It's because I didn't have super expectations that this was going to be Something it wasn't I looked at this and I said wow if I get this palette if I spend the money for this palette I'm gonna have Sequins glimmers shimmers, whatever that in shades that I don't have and that's what I I looked at This palette to give me options for when I wanted to maybe have more of a glam Look, I wanted to just do a little bit different and to have it all be in one palette But this is not a palette. I could go to every day. I would need to have some different types of grounds I would need to really have some neutrals. I don't consider this a neutral palette But it's probably just my own opinion. However, I like it a lot. So for me, it's a good solid seven Maybe an eight for me this the colors are very very pigmented And I like to build in layers. So I would rather build it up than to have it just be there So I had a hard time with that But what I found was that it blended super super super easy. So I loved how it blended I think it's pigmented if you're looking for a pigment palette It's great If you want to have all these different textures if you don't have that in your collection like me I don't have a collection then this this would work really good But if you have a collection and you have all these colors you might go You know and not and not really get it or think about getting it But I like it. Everyone's raving about the mirror. The mirror is pretty cool. It really is but I shouldn't have looked But the mirror to be truthful. I I Never apply. I would not use this mirror to apply. I have to because I wear glasses I have to have my large magnifying mirror when I apply my eye shadow So I I do it that way But I think it's really great if you want to touch up or you just wanted to use the mirror for something else I think it's really great. So I really like the palette a solid seven maybe an eight for me There are other palettes that I would go to and grab that would be my favorite one of them being my vizient liaison I love this and this also has some really pretty shimmers Simmer shades. I really like this a lot. I think it's really pretty I've got a number of other palettes that I like. So I think it's great. You can see the look I created and you can see this look This look is just too Too pinky for me. The other thing I did this week and you probably Happiness is here the glam collection from Lancome You may have seen a number of content creators talk about this collection and some of them were sent this complimentary via the octaline network or directly from Lancome and I'm unbelievably jealous of them, but I did buy mine and what I ended up doing is I just thought the train case was like super super cute I really did. So I ended up I went to Macy's. I Bought the foundation. I've not tried the foundation. I wanted to see how I liked the foundation I'd heard so many Different people talk about how this is one of their top foundations. So The foundations that I have that are on the high end is I have the YSL. I love the YSL. I Wear that on special occasions. It's really a pretty pretty finish. I think I have it on now I have my Estee Lauder I buy that at the cosmetic company store and I can usually get a pretty reasonable price to that and Then I have drugstore. I have a lot of different drugstore brands CYO. I I get the kick-ass foundation right now. There's some that I don't like. There's some that I do like I never liked the wet and wild. There's a number of foundations I just did not like that we're a drugstore, but there was a few I do like and Out of the three high-ends That I have the Lancome. I've only used it once so far, but the Lancome foundation Really nice on par for me with my Estee Lauder and With the YSL as far as the YSL just has a really pretty finish and my Estee Lauder is just my go-to favorite It's a no-fail, you know, I can grab it anytime and I know it's gonna last I know it's gonna look really good on me. Well the Lancome I was so curious So I got this I got color matched and this is what I bought so that I could actually qualify To spend another 68 dollars for this Hmm hope Jada's from watch this video. So I got this I got color matched and my color is 310 clear. I think 310 really looks nice on me. I don't have it on now, but I really like it a lot So I got that and then I said to I think this to my lean inshila Is this a sign of the fact that I might be coming at palette addict? I Actually, I think this case is just beautiful. This is the Lancome case and it's like Little shimmery and it's just pretty a pretty pretty case the palette in there all my colors all my colors I haven't tried them yet, but it looks like there's some cool colors. There are some warm colors But then there's some roses some purples some pinkies a couple of blushes I'm really looking forward to trying this. I have not yet tried it I also in that as you know, I'm not gonna go through everything, but you get the mascara You get the primer you've got a whole bunch of different things a brush a bunch of lipsticks More importantly You have their serums and their creams. I really was looking forward to this a lot So that's so yeah, I spent the money on that and I think this was a week where I just like indulged myself The Lancome thing I mean that was expensive and the Tati palette But you know, I think with the Lancome thing I'm gonna have you know between the foundation the mascara the primer I've got a lot more products in there Including the palette that I think I can use and I will certainly get my money out of that. So I was like, okay I like it a lot. I also, you know, when people send you PR in the mail, I'm always like so appreciative of all the PR I get I think all the PR I get is just absolutely great. I love the PR and Some PR may not work out as well as others But I am so appreciative whenever I have that opportunity and I've had some great PR in the last Couple of months that just is mind-blowing to me But one of the most recent PRs and there's a number of things I want to talk about but one of the most recent PRs that I got was Jen Amber Beauty and many of you know that I really like her derma rollers. I use her derma rollers I think her derma rollers are great So she sent me this PR pack that has the aqua stamp. I may have shown this before I talked about this what you do on the aqua stamp It's very sterile. You do have to clean it with medical grade alcohol You put in this little container whatever serum you're using a good serum and then you would stamp it into your trouble areas This is like really I'm so looking forward to using it So she also sent me some eye patches, which I have not used yet I'm going to actually take them out and dig in them through them tonight and then choose things of serum one is a Vitamin C cream, which I really like. I tried it a little bit. It's really nice and the other one is a retinol serum I'm going to use the serum down my neck into my decolletage area. That's how I'm going to use this So that was to me an awesome PR package from Jen Amber and I thank you so much Jen If you don't know Jen, she's got a YouTube channel. She's all over Instagram I'll link her information below. She's just a beautiful woman and I really really enjoy what she has sent me It's beautiful. As you know, I probably will be going on a trip next week So I'm going to have one more video that I'm filming which is a little bit trip preparation And then it's going to be a little bit of a vlog style We'll kind of make up my bringing one of my packing stuff like that and that'll probably go live While I'm away, but it'll be also the beginning part of my trip a little bit more of that So I'm looking forward to that. I'm adding this on to the tail end of that clip to fault number one I I just wanted to show you my eyes. So what I did is On my tatty on my lids because it was I like I said, it was just too pink for me I just added on top of it a white eye shadow From my busy-eyed palette on top of the the really rosy Tatty look I like it better, but the reason I really wanted to come back to I want to show you this I Know I know I've been talking about my trip. So when this arrived You know what they always surprised me I never know it's coming and all of a sudden it's here and I'm like, oh my gosh, right I do love my Balzano parises.
