 Hello, everyone. We are going to be talking all about my top five eyeshadow formulas. This is an eyeshadow palette. This is actually eyeshadow formulas, which is a little bit different. What do I choose to put on my eyes if I'm just reaching for something and not testing it out and what do I love? So I'm super excited about this video because it is a collaboration with my dear friend Mandy Lee and Heather Austin. Heather is new to me, but I have so enjoyed watching her channel. She does a lot of haul videos, which are great. She does a lot of tutorials and reviews. She does first impressions. She does tag videos. She just all around does some really great beauty and she is in her 30s and I think that just brings a fresh new perspective. She is also a Southern gal. You can tell from her accent and she's just a beautiful person inside and out and so I'm excited to do this tag with her and Mandy Lee. Mandy is from my home state here in Utah and we connected before on a video that we did a collab and I will make sure that I put that video down below. I just love Mandy's manner of making her videos. It's so laid back. It's so easy going and she just seems to be just like she's just doing her makeup with her girlfriends. She has this gorgeous flowing beautiful curly hair and it's just so vibrant. She does a lot of seven looks one palette videos, which are absolutely phenomenal. She just has a great way about her. I hope that you do decide to go over and see both of these gals and give them a check out. Tell them that I sent you and also that you would give them a thumbs up and possibly get to subscribe to them. Now, if you're new from one of those gals channels, I want to say a special welcome to you today. Thank you so much for coming over and visiting. I hope that you do enjoy this content and I hope that you get a chance to also look at some of my other videos and possibly decide to subscribe. So let's get into this video of what my top five formulas are for eyeshadows. This was no way an easy choice for me, you guys, because I have so many eyeshadow formulas that I love. I'm an eyeshadow junkie, especially palettes. I feel like there are so many good ones out there, but I had to narrow it down and I had to choose. So let's start out with Milani. Now the formula that Milani has right now is not a great formula. I'm not impressed by it, but what they had in these 16-pound palettes was magical. And if there's anything that a Milani person would ever be looking at this video, not that they ever would, I would beg them to make more of these and bring these back and then go ahead and just get some others going. They had the Soft & Soul Tree and it was so pretty for a smoky eye. They had the bold obsessions, which gives you a few pops of color in them and then they had the Pure Passions, which was a very warm tone palette with your basic oranges in here, kind of, you know, your burnt orange colors in here. They had the pink, the pinks over here. Burgundy's beautiful palette. And then they had the most loved mattes and it had a little bit of your mobs in here, again with your brownish orange and then your neutral brown over here. Okay, first of all, this is such a creamy formula and I'm not going to be able to swatch every single palette, every single one, but this one comes out of the most loved mattes and check that out, you guys. Look at the pigmentation there and the blendability is there and they are so good. I love these. Pure Passion. I'm just going to swatch a couple of the lighter ones and then the Metallic. The payoff on these is so great. Now, if you are a mature woman and you can't really feel like you fit into shimmers anywhere, these shimmers from Milani are really great because they're a lot about the color and the brightness, not a high metallic and I really do like that about them. You can see that there's still some shine, but they're not like high, high beam that shows up a lot of texture on your eyelid. This one is the Soft and Sultry and this is your perfect smoky eye palette. If you have been wanting to do a smoky eye, you don't know where to turn, you could open this just about throw anything on your eyes and it would be gorgeous. It's just a beautiful, beautiful palette as far as all of those colors, all of the blendability on them. I love this. The formula is so, so good on these. I wish I hope that someday they know what's going on and that they bring this back. This one is the Bold Obsessions. It just was one of those formulas that really captured me because of the blendability. It stays on all day. The colors are vibrant and yet they can be muted out with a big fluffy brush, that kind of thing. So love these. Oh my gosh, I love these and they had to be in this lineup. Now you're gonna find that most of mine come from the drugstore because honestly, I have a love of drugstore and I do like some higher end ones, but drugstore is kind of my jam. It's one of those things that I love to be able to dupe out high-end with drugstore, but I have to tell you that from the drugstore, these 16 pan palettes from LA Girl are so good. Now I'm upset because four of them that I have here are not available anymore. This packaging is really good except for one thing. The lid does kind of fall off after you've used them over and over again. So I'm just going to show you these four very quickly that actually aren't in stock right now. And then we're going to talk about the one that I like that is in stock. You guys, these are so beautiful. And then this one is one of the hot heat ones. That one has the pretty purples and the teal blues in it. And this is a hot heat as well that is along the lines of very pink smobs. Those tones. Okay. And so the one that I'm in love with that you can get is the Mastery Pro from LA Girl. And again, this packaging super luxe. It's plastic yes, but aren't most companies plastic unless they're metal. So what stole my heart about these was first impression on these metallics. They are next level gorgeous. They are so beautiful. And I cannot say enough good about them. They're just super pigmented. They are like a dream across the skin. Look how bright and gorgeous they are. Oh my goodness, you guys. And then you step over into these mats and you are not disappointed. They are so creamy. I love playing with these. They're just some of my my favorite formula ever. And I cannot believe that this palette is only $15. So that is such a good deal for those of us that can't really shell out $50, $60 for a palette. These are just beyond beautiful. And I have just loved them ever since the first one came out. And I know that there are so many people that have passed it over because you think LA Girl, you don't think quality. But wow, you guys, these are so good. So if you have the chance to, if this appeals to you, you have the chance to just know that you're going to get something that is really good. Now, moving over into ColourPop. ColourPop stole my heart such a long time ago. And their eyeshadow formula is really, really good. I do have five in front of me that I will quickly show you. I'm not going to swatch them all. But this is the meant to be one. These greens are so pretty. I'll just swatch this one for you. Just gorgeous on those. This one is the Lilac you a lot. This is all the good feels with purple and a little bit of a pinker tones in here. I just completely fell in love with these nine pan palettes. They are just a beautiful formula. They are so rich, so buttery, pigmented, gorgeous formula for an eyeshadow. And it doesn't really matter which one you choose. Here's the blue moon one. Again, just an absolutely gorgeous array of colors in there. And I love these. They are just exceptional quality and the way in their pigment and everything about them. They're just absolutely gorgeous. Love these nine pan palettes. I really, really do. Okay. And then on another nine pan palette that they did is the All Things Equinox. This one is a very cool toned palette. I showed this very recently, but I wanted to show it here today too because this formula is leaning a lot on the metallics towards the Super Shock formula that they have, which if I'm going to be completely honest, that's my favorite formula. And a lot of people don't like it. But the Super Shock formula that they have is one that is just so very pigmented. It's so very bright. And it's one of those that I just was like, oh man, sign me up. This one, there is just a couple of them that are the Super Shock formula, but love that. The next one is probably not going to be any surprise to anybody out there that watches my channel. It is the Juvia's Place formula. I love this formula. I am wearing this one on my eyes today. And what I did was I took this peach color right here, used it as a transition color. And then I went in with this color right here, which is a neutral taupe as the kind of creased color, deepen it up color. This is on my lid. And then these two colors right here, the gray and the brown, are the two that are on my outer corner in the outer corner of my eyelid. So love this one. And you get to see that in action. My very first purchase from them though was the Magic Pellet. And you look at this and you go, whoa, I could never wear those colors. But just a little heads up. If you want to go into this color, these colors right here, which are extremely neutral and then pop one of these either as a liner or just on your lid. It's beautiful. I do have a tutorial with this one too. Now let's talk formula. This is so buttery, so vibrant, so pigmented. And I, when I very first got this, I think it was probably three, maybe four years ago. I can't remember. It was like not very long after they came out. And I was just blown away by the quality in here. These are very, very pigmented. They have a lot of beautiful bright colors. I did have somebody recently tell me that somebody my age shouldn't be wearing colors, but I won't give that up because it's something that I love and I enjoy and makeup should be fun. This is the Magic Pellet. It's probably in the upper two for me for formula, for blendability, for make, for getting really beautiful looks. And when you look at it, you're gonna go, oh my gosh, how on earth do you get a beautiful look out of there? I'm telling you guys, this purple right here is one of the most beautiful colors on my lid. And then I love the pinks in here. I love even, you know, just the neutral, neutral colors in here. They're just so pretty. If you decided that you wanted a brown and you don't see a brown in here that you really like, take this orange right here and mix it with the green right here. Just go back and forth a little bit and you're gonna end up with a brown. And I love this palette for its pigmentation, for how gorgeous these colors are. And there's brown that I mixed together. Looks a little bit more on the green side, but that's kind of pretty. So I might do that sometime on a look. Then I also have the deuce palette. This is actually my number one from them because I can open it and I just feel like no problem. I got a look that I'm coming out of there with. Absolutely gorgeous. I love this bright color right here because it is a dual chrome pink color with a little bit of a purple shift in it. So very creamy, so very blendable. Absolutely gorgeous mattes that are never going to let you down. You're going to be able to build up a look with that. And you always, always when you stick your finger in here, you're gonna feel that butter, that richness, that pigment. And they stay all day on your eyes. They're just, they're so beautiful. And this deuce palette stole my heart immediately when I got it. And it is the one that I reach for the most to make looks out of. So absolutely love Juvia's Place. I think that because they're not afraid of color, they put that richness into their formula. And they just came out with something that was next level. Better than any high-end shadow that I have ever tried. I actually prefer, I know, I know, I know. I prefer Juvia's Place over Vizier. I just do you guys. I just think that they're that good honestly. Okay, so my number one formula last year stole my heart. It is the Sydney Grace formula of eyeshadows. These eyeshadows, they come in singles. This is the Enduring Love palette. Let me just show you that really quickly. You've probably seen that everywhere. I know that you have probably seen the Tiny Marvels palette from Mail. This one's out right now. And everybody is just going gaga over it. And there's a reason it's just beautiful. And then she has her singles which I went ahead and did one of my own. Obviously that's gonna be chock-full of purples. And then here are some more neutrals and some pinks. Alright, let me tell you guys. I cannot believe how blendable and pigmented and absolutely buttery, rich. Hardly any fallout in here with these. I just look at this and I feel inspired. Whether I'm looking at my neutral one, whether I'm looking at my purple one. I did have a video very recently where I swatched all of my purples and all of those singles. And I will make sure that I throw that up in a card and also down here in the description box so you can see it. But when I am wanting to be wowed by an eyeshadow formula, it has to be the Enduring Love. It has to be. And I just talked about this not very long ago as well. This palette is very cool toned. I love it. I love that I can get in here. And there are some colors that just make me feel happy. This color right here which is like a pink in the pan. But you get it on your eye and it is this brightness. And so if you're one that doesn't like anything on your eyelid because you feel like you've got a bunch of texture and wrinkles and crinkly skin around there. Check this out because honestly it is one of those ones that just about anybody can wear. And then you have these metallics that even though you may have texture on your lid they show up and they are so buttery that they're not going to show up those wrinkles. And I just I love this palette. I love it because it's neutral. I love it because it has so many cool tones in it. I love it because of how it wears. I love supporting an indie brand too. I think that that's so important. We're in the you know where we live right now because these smaller brands they need a lot of our support. And I think that it's really great that we any of us can do that. One of the reasons that I love these so very much is because they're mica based. And basically what that means is these mattes are going to have just a tiny bit of a luminosity to them. It's not you know like it's going to take away from the matte effect. What it is is that it makes them just so very buttery and creamy and easy to use. Especially if you have mature eyes. I just think that they're absolutely gorgeous for that. Let me just quickly show you Mel's palette because this is so good too. I'm so in love with this. This gold right here it's not really a gold. It's got like a greenish cast to it. So pretty. I love this rose color that she put in here. It's a rosy mauve color. And I love the lilac that she threw in here too. Those are some of my favorites. The green is super pretty. So there are just so many looks that you can come out of this with and just find that they are just so wonderful. I am not kidding you guys. Look at that. Look at the pigmentation. I mean holy moly. You don't have to use very much of this. So even though this is a higher end you just barely touch your brush in there and you've got enough pigmentation to do so much with and you know blending it out and oh my gosh you guys they're just they're too pretty. Let me turn that right side up so you can see they're just gorgeous. There they all are. That is just the two palettes. So that is everything. I hope that you did enjoy this video. I really enjoyed being able to collab with Mandy and Heather and I thank them for doing this collab with me. Thank you guys so much for spending a little bit of your time with me.
