Since we’re on the topic of school makeup and affordable products, I just got this in the mail awhile ago. Those of you looking at investing in a palette of colorful shades and a couple of brushes should definitely keep this discount set in mind!

The neutrals would be more suitable for school, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the colorful shades with them for a little pop, or just leave the wild colors for the weekend!

Atlanteal (Aquataenia Palette)

Welcome to the maiden voyage of the Aquataenia!

The team at Lime Crime generously sent me their new “Mermaid palette” for review, so I decided to give it a test-run via a tutorial instead so you can see and decide for yourself if you like how it does!

More detailed post with swatches to come at a later time.

Disclaimer: I am not paid by this, or any, company to give favorable features or reviews of products. Any opinions are strictly my own!

Step 1: Apply the shimmery aqua shade (Atlanteal) onto the lid, within the crease area.

Step 2: Using a smoky black (I just used my trusty Greed Palette from Wet n Wild; any black will do), apply black very lightly along the hollow of the eye socket from outside. Then blend the heck out of it.

Step 3: With a thin brush, very carefully run the soft coral shade along the inner half of the socket line.

Step 4: Run black liquid liner from the outside in. (Lay the flick first and then pull inwards in separate little strokes instead of trying to do it all in one single stroke.)

Step 2: I applied mascara and then an aqua/teal metallic liner (Milani Liquif’ Eye in Aqua) along the lower waterline. This echoes the color of the lid.

The finished look once again!

Lime Crime products are vegan and cruelty-free.

The Aquataenia Mermaid palette retails for US$34.99.

3 Reasons To Get The Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance Policy Collection
Who says splurges need to cost an arm and a leg?
This is by no means a new product or collection. It’s a staple in Too Faced’s range, and for good reason. If you get it from beflurt.com, I can’t describe it as anything other than a REALLY good deal, and if you need me to spell it out for you, here’s why.
—

1. You get 6 high-quality, high-impact shadow shades spanning a pretty good color spectrum. 
If you’re just building up your color collection and want a little of everything, this palette gives you 2 of each family; from neutrals like Glamazon (sparkly ash-beige) and Full Frontal (rich chocolate), to warm tones like Boy Toy (candy-pink) and Socialite (coppery-russet), and cooler tones like Lucky Charms (deep emerald green) and Skinny Dip (satiny navy).
I’ve been a long-time fan of Too Faced shadows because they are finely-grained and very pigmented so you don’t need to really load it onto your brush to get good color pay-off. This means you use less. At the same time, they aren’t so soft and crumbly that you need to worry about tons of fallout on your cheeks.
The only thing is that these do not come in any matte shades so if you don’t like metallic/pearl finishes, this will not be for you.

Shade-wise, I love Glamazon and Socialite.
Lucky Charms is a dupe of the much-coveted and long-discontinued MAC Pigment “Green”.
Skinny Dip is the least pigmented of the bunch but pretty nonetheless.
—
2. It comes with a full-size Eye Shadow Insurance, which retails for US$18.
This is one of the most popular eye primers in the world, so if you’re in the market to invest in a good quality product that doesn’t change the texture or color of your shadows, and can help them to go on stronger and stay on longer, you’ll be happy to know it’s included in this set.
—
3. It’s incredible value for money. 
A MAC shadow costs $15 for 1.5g of product. Too Faced Single shadows cost $16 each.
In this palette, it might not look like it, but you’re actually getting 6 full-sized pans of shadow (1.8g of each shade; more than a MAC pan) PLUS a full-size primer for $38, which works out to about $5.40 per product. 
Throw in the beflurt discount on top of that, and you just got 6 full-sized high-end shadows and primer for under $3.90 each.
That’s for products that cost $16-18 individually.
—
P.S. You get an additional 10% off when you enter MAKEUPBOX in the coupon code box during checkout. Whether you’re looking for a birthday gift or just a splurge for yourself, you don’t need to look further.
