Hello, beautiful people! Today I’m sharing two Bellabeautebar Ocean Jewel Palette Looks with you by indie beauty makeup expert and lover Cordelia Frost. I recently purchased the Bellabeautebar Ocean Jewel Palette because I’m a huge fan of the color story as well as Bellabeautebar’s eyeshadow formula.

I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll say it again, I love the Half Magic Beauty Magic Drip Glitter Lip Glosses. The formula and colors are so pretty when worn!
Danessa Myricks Universal Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
For the monochromatic pink look above, featuring Mother of Pearl from the Bellabeautebar Ocean Jewel Palette, I applied my blush a little differently than usual. Instead of focusing on the apples of my cheeks, I swept it along the tops of my cheekbones, closer to my eyes.
After applying my blush and foundation, I tried using the Danessa Myricks Universal Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder all over my face with my fingertips. It was supposed to blur everything out, but on me, it just caked up, emphasized texture, and made things worse.
While this balm powder works beautifully as an eye primer, I personally cannot use it across my whole face on top of other products, even though it is marketed for that. I really dislike the look and feel of a cakey base. Thankfully, the Huda Beauty Pound Cake Loose Easy Bake powder never cakes on me and continues to be a reliable favorite.
Real Talk: I’m Finally Obsessed With My Brows
Let’s get real. I’m in love with my current brow routine. Brows have always been a bit of a challenge for me. Mine are definitely sisters, not twins, and I’ve spent years trying to get them to cooperate. On top of that, my natural brow color always looked too ashy and faded, more like a muted medium brown than the rich, deep tone I wanted to match my black and vibrant hair colors.
The product that changed everything for me is the RefectoCil Hair Tinting Kit in Blue-Black. It pairs perfectly with my dyed blue-black and cool-toned neon pink hair, giving my brows the bold, defined look they were missing.
These days, my routine is blissfully simple. I swipe on a heavy-duty brow glue to hold the hairs in place, and that’s it. Occasionally, I’ll use Silk Naturals Tour eyeshadow (use my code CORDELIA to save at Silk Naturals) to fill in a few spots for extra definition, but most of the time, it’s just glue and go.
Minimal effort with maximum payoff. Finally, my brows feel like they truly belong on my face.
Blush Brush Obsession
I am completely obsessed with the RMS Beauty Skin2Skin Powder Blush Brush. For the first time ever, I’m not applying blush with a heavy hand. This brush gives me the perfect soft flush of color every time. It’s made with synthetic fibers and has a soft dome shape that gently deposits pigment without disturbing the foundation underneath.
Right now, I’m actively paring down my brush collection, but I still keep two of these on hand. They’re the only tool I want to use with powder blush. For cream products, I reach for the Half Magic Baby Paw Blush Brush, which I also adore.
That said, there are two drawbacks to the RMS Skin2Skin Powder Blush Brush in my opinion. First, the handle is way too thick and chunky for my taste. It feels clunky in the hand and doesn’t match the sleek luxury aesthetic I expect at this price point. Second, the price itself. At $45, it’s steep. I did buy mine during a sale, which helped, but I would feel better about the investment if the design felt more refined.
Despite that, the performance is unmatched, and for me, that’s why I keep reaching for the RMS Beauty Skin2Skin Powder Blush Brush.
