Review and Swatches: Sigma Beauty Ambiance Eyeshadow Palette

Review and Swatches: Sigma Beauty Ambiance Eyeshadow Palette

 Sigma beauty recently released a new collection called the “Ambiance Collection” a “sizzling sun-inspired collection.” This collection consisted of an eyeshadow palette, highlighter palette, five makeup brushes set with a beauty bag, and two lip glosses. The Sigma Ambiance palette was an immediate buy for me. I’m a neutral lover and the shades in this palette really caught my attention. I did not pick up any of the other products in the collection but they do look beautiful to me.


If you’re in Canada Sigma Beauty can be purchased through The Bay and they had this palette a few days before Sigma officially released the collection. As a Canadian, it was nice to order a product locally rather than pay customs or wait for it to come available here. Thank you to Sigma and The Bay for making this happen. As soon as I opened the palette, I knew this would be a perfect palette for me. The shades are absolutely stunning and I really like Sigma’s eyeshadow formula. I also own their Cor De Rosa palette which I have still not reviewed but I will soon. The Ambiance palette has a nice range of tones and textures; the mattes are so easy to blend and build and the shimmers are gorgeous. I’m someone who prefers both mattes and shimmers, I struggle to create all matte looks. This is a palette that inspires me and I keep grabbing for this one.

Goodreads Description:


Winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team of investigators are called into the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montréal and yet a world away. Jane Neal, a long-time resident of Three Pines, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it's a tragic hunting accident and nothing more but Gamache smells something foul this holiday season…and is soon certain that Jane died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

With this award-winning first novel, Louise Penny introduces an engaging hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces--and this series--with power, ingenuity, and charm.

Review and Swatches: Morphe 9E Pretty in Peach Palette

It's been awhile since a Morphe palette caught my eye but I couldn't resist the Pretty in Peach palette. I really do enjoy 9 pan palettes, I prefer a small curated palette rather than a huge palette that's hard to store and a bitt overwhelming with similar shades. I picked up this palette through Sephora Canada for 16$. This palette is great for summer and I really do love the shades. 

Review and Swatches: Tarte Cosmetics Power Bar Neutral Palette

Review and Swatches: Tarte Cosmetics Power Bar Neutral Palette

Tarte has some of my favourite palettes and products. They're not talked about as much in the Youtube beauty community, but Tarte still has my heart. This 6 pan palette really caught my attention on the Sephora Canada site, and it actually reminded me of the Natasha Denona Camel palette which has been on my wishlist for a while. I can't say if the shades are dupes for each other, I really don't think they are but the packaging and shades reminded me of that palette. I've really come to appreciate a nicely curated smaller palette. This 6 pan palette has the perfect amount of shades where I can create a full look, and I have options with this palette. This is a great palette when I don't want to overthink a look, I can grab this and get my makeup done quickly.
