Face palettes are my jam lately...especially on those days when I don't want to get out of bed and I'm feeling totally uninspired to shop my stash and pick and choose different products from different brands. Not to mention trying to color coordinate my eyes, lips, and cheeks. Face palettes are an easy fix and this one has everything but foundation (and concealer if you use one), making it the perfect travel companion.
Let's take a look!
The palette is a bit on the chunkier side if you're thinking about using it for travel, but it would still take up less room than bringing all of these products separately.
On the back, there's a map of all the shades that are included inside (but the names are also printed inside the palette for easy reference).
The inside of the palette is laid out nicely with a large, full-sized mirror and a magnetic closure.
The color selection is really beautiful and you're getting all the products you need to create a look from start to finish (minus foundation). Love Your Selfie 2 includes:
- 8 eyeshadows (3 matte, 5 shimmer)
- 1 baking (setting) powder
- 1 illuminator
- 1 blush/bronzer
- 1 matte lip pencil
- 1 lip gloss
- 1 mascara
This is my first time trying Pur Cosmetics eyeshadows, so I can't say whether this is their typical formula or not...but these are super soft, creamy, and buttery with excellent pigmentation! They do cause a bit of fallout due to the fact that they're so soft, but it's nothing a quick tap of the brush won't solve. They blend beautifully and are long-lasting on my dry eyelids due to the creamy formula.
The shades include:
Headshot (vanilla matte)
Statuesque (light cocoa matte)
Panorama (mahogany with gold flecks)
Abstract (milk chocolate pearl)
Pose (powder pink)
Sketch (rust)
Megapixel (pure gold)
Paparazzi (olive green shimmer)
Also, while we are talking about eyes, I was really excited to see a travel-sized tube of Fully Charged mascara in this palette. I posted a full review of it a while back (you can read that here) and I absolutely love it!

The face products are equally as impressive as far as the formula goes. They go on super smooth and they feel buttery soft.
The Overexposed baking powder is more of a satiny finish, so it's great for brightening under your eyes and setting concealer. You can also use this as highlighter if you prefer them without a lot of shimmer (think Laura Geller's French Vanilla).
Photogenic is a rose gold illuminator and it's so gorgeous, whether you use it on the high points of your face or as an eyeshadow. It has some shimmer but it's finely milled so it doesn't go on glittery...it's very soft and pretty.
The Composition bronzer is a nice, neutral shade of bronze that can be used as intended, but I also like to use it as my crease color when creating eye looks. It's the perfect matte medium brown and works well with the eyeshadow shades in the palette.
I love that there are two different lip options because it gives a lot more versatility to the palette. You can wear the pencil and the gloss separately or layer them to create a third lip color.
The matte lip pencil in Focal Point is a deep rosy shade that's perfect for fall. I was expecting it to be really dry but it surprised me by being really creamy and it was easy to fill in my lips, even though the pencil is thinner than your typical chunky lip crayon. The color lasts all day and feels comfortable, not drying.
The lip gloss in Silhouette is a rosy pink shade and is more subtle for a daytime look, yet still adds quite a bit of color to your lips.
It's not my usual everyday nude look, but I love how everything turned out!
Overall, I'm really enjoying the Pur Cosmetics Love Your Selfie 2 palette! It has so much versatility and is truly an all-in-one face palette. I'm really impressed with the quality of everything inside, and it really makes me want to try more Pur Cosmetics products in the near future.

Thanks for reviewing, I've always been curious about Pur products. That rust red shadow (Sketch) is to die for. These colors look great on you-it's still you but with a kick! (Katherine T.)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Katherine! I've never been comfortable using darker shades (especially on my lips) but I'm getting there! :) XO
DeleteYou're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :)
DeleteThis looks like a considerable improvement over their past eyeshadow formulations. In fact, I had such bad experience with Pur Minerals products that I swore off of them forever. This doesn't change my mind either since I see it is Made in China. But so glad it worked for you! - Christina D.
ReplyDeleteI have only tried their foundations and contour sticks before this so I had no idea what to expect from their powder products...I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sorry you had a bad experience before...that stinks! Also, I hear ya- I'm not a huge fan of products made in China either, but I do feel safe purchasing from brands that are large and well-known that can oversee quality control during production.
