This post is massively overdue, but hey, here we go. I'm not going to further address the elephant in the room that is the pandemic, because I assume if you're reading this instead of the news, you rather escape the reality for a minute o few. So do I. And therefore without further ado, let's take a moment to discuss Jeffree Star Blood Lust collection, and more specifically the items I got from it; the palette and the mini lipstick bundle. At the end of the post, I'll also show you some of the looks I've made with the palette. 

Hello from your inconsistent blogger friend. The end of the year has felt like a whirlwind and therefore keeping up a blogging schedule has seemed like an impossible task. But since I'm sure many of you have had a busy season too, you probably haven't had time to miss my posts too much. And to shamelessly self-promote, you can always find me on Instagram. I'm pretty active there more or less daily and was just scheming for upcoming things next year. 

Anyway, let's get into the reason why you most likely clicked on this post. The infamous Conspiracy Palette. I was going to do a first impression on it, but since it's been a couple of months since the release, this turned into an actual review. Hope this will help you out in case you missed the first launch and are figuring out whether or not get it. And also at the end, there are examples on how to use the palette in case you need inspiration. 

Today's post is something I didn't even dream of being able to do this quickly but lucky for us my boyfriend is an MVP and manage to get his hands on the Shane Dawson Mini Controversy Palette that Shane released in collaboration with Jeffree Star Cosmetics (in case your not familiar in happenings of the beauty world for some reason). So today, we're diving into the palette and talking about my first impressions with it. As for the bigger palette, I'll cover that one once my order arrives, which could take a week or two taken how many orders they have to process. And like you may have gathered in social media and/or trying to buy the products yourself, the launch was an apocalypse. But apparently I managed to grab things for me and my bestie, which is amazing and I'm especially stoked I could get her something she has waited forever even though it was stressful and made me broke. 

Anyway, let's talk about the one thing I do have already:

I feel like everyone and their mom have already reviewed this palette, but how many of them have truly reviewed it? Like, used all the shades, worn the palette for a month straight, seen the good, bad and the udgy of it. Well, not that there's actually an ugly side to the palette - in my experience there isn't - but just to use the saying. In this post, we'll dive into the Jeffree Star Jawbreaker Palette and two non-JSC products, because I want to give shoutouts to them too.

This post is something I've been meaning to put up earlier, but posting it now makes it actually more valuable for you because I've had the time to use these products and I can share my experince with you rather than showing cute things I got. 

So if you are thinking of getting cruelty-free makeup tools, keep on reading!

Today's post is something I'm very excited about, and it took longer than I thought to create but I believe is better to make it properly right away than have to maybe correct many things so that's why this is up a bit later than I originally planned. Hope you can appreciate that. 

At the beginning of the month, I got contacted by False Lashes UK about possible cooperation. I'm a big fan of lashes, so I thought this would be a good fit for me. I don't do too many sponsored posts or collabs because most I get offered are either not a good fit for the blog/me or they're sounding unreasonable (looking at you, Chinese companies expecting things for 10$...). I know this is still a hobby for me and I do things when I just have a good while, but that's even more reason to be picky about the collabs I take. So even though I received the products here for free, the opinions are my own and unbiased, like if I had bought these with my own money.

But without further blabbering, let's get into the lash try-ons:

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know I got some Jeffree Star goodies from my boyfriend. I don't know how I deserved these after the Body Shop Calendar but apparently someone wants to absolutely spoil me. I will talk about them all in this post, but my main focus will be on the Alien Palette, since I'm sure that's what interests most of you the most.

This year, I've been buying more colorful eyeshadow palettes inspired by Angelica Nyqvist - as I've shown you in form of talking about colorful NYX and Juvia's Place palettes. Today, I'm sharing another colorful one I've been loving lately: September Rose Cosmetics Slush palette.

One of the most defining things in my makeup routine is having cute lashes. I rarely go without false ones, which you can judge all you want to, but it's how I prefer my looks. Still, I don't necessarily don't like to go too dramatic with mine, and I've found a brand that does quite the perfect matches for my liking.

In my quest to use more colors in my makeup, I decided I should get a palette that would have colors I love but that would be a little out of my comfort zone. That's when the Juvia's Place came in my mind. I've watched so many videos from Angelica Nyqvist talking about Juvia's, that I kind of had to try them out.

So, I know March ended a couple of weeks ago but... I still wanted to make this post. Better late than never, right? 

Today, I'm sharing the main things I bought during March. Since we got the move out of our hands, I finally had some budget for buying some fun stuff. And some kind of necessary stuff.

My favorite lipstick brand for a while now has been Kiss Me by Liveglam. They make mostly liquid lipsticks, but also glosses. I love that they are cruelty-free, and that you can get the lippies delivered to your door monthly. I've been ordering them since June, and haven't been disappointed so far. Although, to be fair, I've read some people telling they've not liked the formula. But the ones I've gotten have been relatively good. Below I will explain a little more about the service, as well as show you some swatches of the lipsticks.

It's been some days since my last post, and I probably should come up with something else than a haul again, but I've had this one in my drafts too long. So today, it's time to talk a little bit about makeup:

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ As you get to read this, we're on a plane headed to Canada. I'm so happy I got most of the blogging work done before leaving home, because I don't need to sit on the laptop so much on the location. I'm hoping to be able to find wi-fi for social media updates as often as possible, but if not, I'll just update everything once we're at the hotel.

Today, I really wanted to talk to you about the Makeup Revolution pigments I got a while back:

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥

Today I'm talking a bit about something I bought quite a while ago, but can really now properly tell you about since I've gotten to use it a lot.

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I've been watching quite a bit of sports today, as well as doing all sorts of things since it's my last weekday off in a while. So, what I've also been doing is having a bubble bath for my feet, and that kind of reminded me to write this post for you. If you love Lush, or are interested in the brand, keep reading.

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I had a hairdresser appointment after about six months, and it feels so good to have a fresh color! Pictures can be seen on my Instagram, and of course later here on the blog as well. Today, I think it's time for a little cosmetics review after a while:

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ It's a lovely new week, and I'm so excited for what's to come. I don't remember when I've last been this excited for a brand new week, but somehow, I am. I feel like this week I will get a lot of things out of my hands, and it is 50 days to go until the biggest trip I've ever been to. So that's super exciting. I'll be telling you more later when the time comes.

Today, I'll be sharing this spring outfit with you. It's finally starting to look a bit like spring here in Finland, so what's better time to dig out those leather jackets, high heels and aviators - and rock them outside. I personally think a proper leather jacket is the best item for the spring (and well, always, but that's whole another thing), because it's great for layering, it is a classic piece and it is a great way to bring some edgy and even sexy to a look without actually revealing anything. This time, I went for a very simple and casual look with the jacket:
 

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I have been more energetic than usual for the start of week. I guess it's all the light as well as getting a hang of a proper daily schedule. It also encourages me to do even more for the blog since there's so much more daylight and that naturally means more chances to take photos. I've also totally organized our bedroom closets (well, at least my own clothes), which makes waking up so pleasant since I see a super neat room when I open my eyes. Can't wait to get the whole apartment - every box, every closet, every shelf - as neat. It's so therapeutic to get rid of old stuff I don't need, and it's addictive as well.

Today, however, I wanted to share a quick little makeup post with you:
