Sweet dreams are made of... the Dream With A Vision eye palette, by Makeup Obsession.

"Do you dream in colour? The Makeup Obsession Dream With A Vision shadow palette will have you on cloud 9. 
Let your imagination run wild with this whimsical mix of pretty pigmented pastels and bold brights. 16 shades, including 9 smooth mattes and 7 buttery shimmers to create as many looks as you can dream up!"

Makeup Obsession's Dream With A Vision palette is the palette I bought because some of the shades seemed really close to ones in KvD Beauty's much lusted after Pastel Goth eyeshadow palette [the results of that are here], and now I've been using it numerous times since then and now confident enough for a complete review.

So; has Dream With A Vision been, err, a dream or a nightmare?

My HG; powder bronzer in Tawny, by Anastasia Beverly Hills...

I recently mentioned that ABH's Tawny bronzer is my favourite and I thought that I'd review it today, since I never got round to reviewing it last year when it launched.











I have a fair skintone [I go between the lightest & second lightest shades in foundations] and struggle with bronzer; I have to be very careful with application and blending with them, as bronzers all seem to turn orange on me. I was very keen to try ABH bronzer in the shade Tawny as Stefanie Nicole was wearing it in a video she made reviewing the line. Since I find her opinions honest & valid and she has a similar skintone and type to me, I jumped on the bronzer as soon as it launched in the UK.


At the time, I'd really wanted to find a new bronzer that gave my skin a non-dirty sun-kissed glow, without needing to spend 5 to 10 minutes fussing over my application.

This is the story of me finding that HG product...

Juicy Oranges? The Neon Orange Obsessions eye palette, by Huda Beauty...

The Neon Obsessions collection contains three le eye palettes for summer '19.
Up to now I've reviewed two of them and really enjoyed one palette in this collection, but found the other one skippable, so this one can easily go either way...

Tickled pink? The Neon Pink Obsessions eye palette, by Huda Beauty...

Huda Beauty's 3-piece Neon Obsessions eyeshadows palette collection are LE releases for the summer '19 season, and today we're taking a closer look at the pink option. Pink and purple shades are two of my favourite colour families, so I couldn't wait to dive in...

Lean greens? The Neon Green Obsessions eyeshadow palette, by Huda Beauty...

There are three palettes in Huda's new LE (?) Neon Obsessions 9-pan eyeshadow palette collection; Pink, Orange and Green. I have all three palettes [I was just going to get the Orange & maybe the Pink too, but then the completest in me took the wheel], so it just made sense to review them. 


I'm going to start my palette reviews with the one I wasn't going to buy, so we can find out if I made a mistake in giving in and buying it, or if my mistake was in misjudging it in the first place...
