so Icy Betch smells like vanilla cookies and conjures up a very specific 90s bitch image. and there's literal vanilla in the ingredients, and vanilla orchid. this ish smells delicious. right on that vanilla/chocolate line. maybe supposed to be liek vanilla frosting?
i’m also hearing nisipisa in my head because of the hilarious verbiage on the back. oh man. anyway-
brows: elf palette + pencil, maybelline full n soft mascara eyes: tarte icy betch lashes: pat mcgrath fetisheyes top liner: nyx epic ink bottom liner: tarte sex kitten lip: pyt deja vu & rumor over colourpop friends.. and alissa ashley X elf in the middle blush: elf glowy rose contour: fenty truffle base: covergirl tru matte d50 over sunscreen concealer: makeup revolution c12 primer: UD all-nighter isn't much of a primer but there you go.
I don't really wear looks like this but I thought I'd show off the palette! the look is a little random because i just pounced on my mail and wanted to play with it. hope someone else swatches it, no idea what i'm doing, but stick to brushes rather than fingers i think.
The amazonian clay (kaolin) is sort of an odd texture, but it turned out well in the end. I blended the edges with a neutral red brown, cuz it's 2019, and the edge turned greenish. i have to hand it to them for blendable shadows that meld into each other at least, even if they aren't buttery.
The shimmers are AWESOME wet, but can get a little difficult to place over layers of mattes just like other palettes.
I wet my lids with UD setting spray, put down a rough layer of white (which also isn't something i'd normally do but i've been watching some YT-ers do it and figured why not). the other mattes are directly on top of it with the bright green in the middle (dry then wet) with the horizonal blue as an underliner. i think i used every color to blend actually, including highlighter.. when i misted everything again, any chalkiness of the mattes melted away.
