BEST OF 2017: PUR COSMETICS: MY LITTLE PONY COLLECTION

Hi there, my darlings! The month of February is special for me, in so many ways! This is the month my beloved grandfather was born. And this is also the month ColorSutraa was born, exactly 5 years and 1 day to the day today! So, you can understand if I'm in a celebratory mood this month, and in particular this week. Two big causes for celebration! That's why I decided to put aside all the stress and worry this big international move is causing me and focus on fun! This week's posts are all about sparkle, shine, holos, magic, positivity and everything else in between that makes me happy! Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on a collection that I absolutely fell in love with last year and literally waited with bated breath as it made its winding way to me here. But if anything was worth the wait, this was! So, take a peek at a few beauties from PUR Cosmetics' My Little Pony collection! Ah, the nostalgia...and the happy colors!

PUR COSMETICS My Little Pony palette ($23.00)

What it is:

Embark on your own beautiful journey through Equestria with our favorite rainbow-colored friends. Inspired by the wild adventures of My Little Pony: The Movie, this 16-piece eyeshadow palette features a kaleidoscope of colors including mattes, shimmers and bold brights. From everyday neutrals to flirty shimmers – all the basics are covered. However it’s the pops of unexpected but wearable colors that work together to create looks beyond your imagination. That’s the Magic of Friendship!

This palette contains:

KINDNESS (yellow with small pearl), FLUTTERSHY (soft pink with shimmer), GENEROSITY (matte mauve), RARITY (matte white), APPLEJACK (orange with shimmer), HONESTY (brown), LAUGHTER (sparkly mauve pink), PINKIE PIE (hot pink matte), TWILIGHT SPARKLE (pinky purple shimmer), MAGIC (bright purple), RAINBOW DASH (royal blue with shimmer), LOYALTY (dark green with shimmer), TEMPEST SHADOW (matte bright red), SONGBIRD SERENADE (dark purple with shimmer), STORM KING (silver with shimmer), and PRINCESS SKYSTAR (mint duochrome).

This palette made it onto my Favorite Palettes, 2017 edition and not without good cause! First and foremost, I love how bright and fun the shades included are--I'm NOT a neutral palette kinda girl by any means so this one immediately appeals to my need for bold, bright colors. Yes, they are really bright shades and no, maybe these are not your every day kinda shades but for any special occasion, when you really want to stand out, you can't got wrong with this palette.

Now, it's important to keep in mind that, although these are very bright shades, they are NOT hyper pigmented. In fact, I think they are best suited to layering. You won't get a huge color pay-off with one or two swipes but the advantage to that is that YOU decide just how much color is enough color. I found just about all the shades to be pretty blendable, ideal for layering, and with minimal fall-out.

The swatches below are several swipes of each shade (if I had to estimate, about 5-6 swipes per color). If you're looking to add a bold palette to your palette but want something that you will allow you the ability to experiment, this one is a great addition to anyone's stash. Especially at that price!

PUR COSMETICS My Little Pony: The Movie Glow Stick Kit ($17.00)

Get ready to glow. This three-piece face, eye and lip kit will take you on a beauty adventure just like the Mane 6 as they explore the worlds beyond Equestria. Inspired by My Little Pony: The Movie, these illuminating balms provide an exciting highlight to sculpt and add depth to the whole face. Packed with sheer prismatic pigments in three hues, these multitasking sticks can be used on the lids, cheeks and lips to add a subtle shimmer to your best features. Just swipe on and tap into the skin on-the-go. The compact size fits easily into your makeup bag so you can carry one (or all three!) wherever you go. Let your Glow Stick light the way!

Shade Descriptions:

• Blissful (Holographic Iridescent Blue with Pink Shift) 
• Joyful (Iridescent White with Blue Lavender Shift 
• Cheerful (Iridescent Pink with Gold Shift) 

Oh how I LOVE these little Glow Stick crayons. Shifty, holo, iridescent--you got all your whimsical, magical bases covered! These sticks are extremely creamy and a little goes a long way. My only issue is that I found them to cake a bit if you layer them on, like I needed to to get the swatches below--they tended to cake around the edges of my stencil. They really do work best if you use a light hand and make sure to blend well--too much product will not blend very well. Trust me, I tried! That being said, I love them to add a hint of shifty highlight or add a touch of alluring brightness to your waterline. I intend to try them as eyeshadows next...or even layered on a dark lipstick! Infinitely fun and incredibly versatile, these are SO fabulous! And no sharpening needed what with handy, easy-to-use tips that you can roll up with a twist at the base.
