I have been so excited to try Ashley Tisdale's new cosmetics line basically since it got announced. It took me awhile to actually get around to buying it though because since I'm in Canada I thought the shipping would be atrocious. I was so wrong though, as the cost was only around $6.50. The shipping took a little bit longer than I would have liked, but that's only because I'm the most impatient person ever. There also was no customs charges which I was very, very happy about!
So first of all I have to say that I'm absolutely in love with the packaging. I know that what matters is inside the packaging but it's just too cute not to mention. In my order I got the Beach Goddess Palette, a lip gloss, an illuminating shimmer, body bronzer, and a cream lip and cheek tint. On first use they all seem like good quality, highly pigmented and very easy to apply.
The Beach Goddess palette has 9 eye shadow shades (5 shimmery, 4 matte) in different brown and neutral colours, as well as one matte bronzer, a shimmery bronzer and a shimmery blush. The colours are all super pigmented and I'm definitely in love with the colour Belize, a dark coppery brown shimmer shade. The packaging does come with a plastic sheet over the colours with their names on it, which I guess could be annoying for some people, but I don't mind it. Overall, for $14.50, it's my new go to palette.
I got the lip gloss in the shade coral reef and was a little iffy at first, but I think it'll probably be my new favourite. The colour is a very pretty light coral which looks shimmery in the package, but the glitter in it is so small that once it's on your lips you barely notice. It dries well and doesn't smear as much as I thought it would considering it was only $8. The applicator is a little bit weird, as it is plastic with a small brush on one side. I'm still deciding if I like it or not. Regardless, the gloss goes on smoothly and I'm happy with the pigmentation
I have a very love hate relationship with the illuminating shimmer right now. It is absolutely beautiful, but it gets on everything. It goes on really well and the pigmentation is good, but there's just so much glitter. It ends up all over my hands and therefore everything I touch for the next few hours. But it's $7.50 so I can't really complain.
The body bronzer is probably my favourite product right now. I originally got it so that when my tan started to fade, I could make it last longer so I wouldn't have to purchase all new makeup (Summer Delaney and Winter Delaney are about 5 shades different), but now I'm using it on my tan lines and my skin looks so so amazing. I've been using a dove bronzer for years and have never gotten my tan lines to match my skin until now. The shade I use is soaked in sun and not that this actually makes a difference to the results, but it smells like grapefruit. The bronzer costs $14 and I will definitely be repurchasing. So I have never seen anyone actually apply a cream blush, so I'm not 100% if I'm doing it right, but either way I like it. It's not my favourite and the pigmentation isn't great, but it does it's job and for $8, it's pretty good quality. I honestly just might be using it wrong though. Time to watch more makeup tutorials, I guess.
I'm definitely pleased with my purchase overall, and will be repurchasing the bronzing lotion, and I will absolutely be getting the Night Goddess palette in the future. If you're interested in any of the products you can shop them here!
