Nyx Highlight & Contour Pro Palette

Hey everyone!

Hope ya'll had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!  Ours was great!  We kept it low key with just my immediate family.  But we always have a good time.  My family is everything to me.  The hubby and I also just got back from Disney.  I miss it already!  We just love Disney!

I've also been loving the new Highlight & Contour Pro Palette from Nyx Cosmetics.


I haven't tried any other contour palette....yet.  Key word there.  There are a few on my list.  But for the low price of $24.99, you can't beat this palette.  I personally think any skin tone can use this palette.  The pigmentation in these shades is awesome.  Even in those highlight shades.



In my newest video, I show you exactly how I've been using every shade.  Here are a few shots of the finished look.




Check out my video below to see exactly how I get this look!

Have ya'll tried this palette?  What are your thoughts on it?  Let me know!  Let me know if you have any recommendations for other highlight & contour palettes!

Till next time!

Lots of Love,
Aimee Lou

Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara



Hey everyone!

So I'm sure you've heard all about Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara.  It's been out for a good while now.  I myself have been using it for about a month now.  So I've gotten a good idea on how much I like it.  I wouldn't say I love it, but I like it.  To me it's one of those good everyday mascaras.  And I can skip curling my lashes.  Anyway to make my morning makeup routine easier is a plus for me.  With all that said, let's look at some before and afters.

These 2 photos are before I applied it.  Nothing on my lashes at all.


Woo!  That last one is a "in yo face" photo.  LOL!  No edits on these by the way.  You may as well know my true selfie ;)

And here are the afters



I can definitely see a nice curl in my lashes.  Super impressive!  My only complaint is that is can get a little on the clumpy side.  But that's nothing a good comb through can't fix.  You'll see in my video below how I fixed that problem with my Real Techniques Lash/Brow Groomer.  And just as a little side note, this mascara, as any non waterproof, smudged when I used it on my bottom lashes.  That was expected though.

So, to sum it up, I like the mascara.  Don't know if I would repurchase it.  There are so many fun mascara's out there that I haven't tried yet.  And I can't say it's an absolute favorite like my Mally Volumizing mascara or my It Cosmetics Tightline Waterproof mascara, just to name a few.  I will always repurchase those.  But, again, I like it.  So we'll see.  I do think anyone should give it a go though.

Check out my video below for more on this mascara.

Thanks so much for listening ;)  Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next time!

Lot's of Love,
Aimee Lou
