The Vault by Jaclyn Hill x Morphe
Jaclyn Hill and Morphe are back at it again with more killer eyeshadows. Last year Jaclyn Hill and Morphe created the original Jaclyn Hill Palette. This palette has been my go-to palette since it came out. A few months ago, Jaclyn Hill and Morphe teamed up again to release four new palette! All the eye shadows were originally created during the production of the Jaclyn Hill Palette. I was so excited when she announced these palette because I knew they were going to be amazing. They are my favorite palettes at the moment. The four palettes are Dark Magic, Ring the Alarm, Armed & Gorgeous and Bling Boss. The palettes separately $15 or you can purchase the Vault for $49. Each of the palettes consists of mattes and shimmers. All the shades are super pigmented and creamy which is two things I love in an eyeshadow. One thing I really like about this Jaclyn Hill x Morphe collaboration is that for each of the palettes Jaclyn does a tutorial for each of the palettes on Morphe’s website.

Dark Magic
Dark Magic consists of very dark and smoky colors. I’m not a huge fan of the dark colors but at the same time I really like using this specific palette. I use SHHH as a transition shade in the crease and Mojo in the outer corner. I sometimes use Poof in the inner corner of the eye. If I want to add glitter Ill put Power Cut on the lid. This creates a very simple yet smokey look. The shades in order from left to right are:
Row 1: Poof (matte cream), Power Cut (metallic silver), shhh (matte dusty taupe), Trickery (sparkling emerald), Diversion (shimmering gunmetal)
Row 2: Potion (matte avocado green), Busted (matte ocean blue), Inside Job (matte dark jade), Mojo (matte smoked hickory), Temptress (glinting pitch black)
Ring the Alarm
The Ring the Alarm palette has been one of my favorite palette out of the collection. I love wearing pinks and reds! The glitter shades in the palette are so creamy and bright. I think these colors are perfect for fall. I really like using the shade Lolli all over the lid and Framed as an outer corner blending color. The shade order left to right are:
Row 1: Lolli (shimmering peach rose), Rush (matte amber), On Camera (shimmering tropical gold), Boom (shimmering blushed bronze), Alert (matte deep ochre)
Row 2: Bomb Ass (gleaming hibiscus pink), Siren (shimmering plum), Mugshot (matte toasted almond), Framed (matte deep plum), Secret (matte roasted chestnut)
Bling Boss
This is my absolute favorite palette in the collection. The shade Hush Hush is perfect for a transition shade. the shade Mystic and Rockstar are good for a dark color to blend with and the shade Bling Bling is the perfect glitter! I love this glitter shade with so many different looks. The shade order left to right are:
Row 1: Bling Bling (silvery pink glitz), Hush Hush (matte lilac mauve), Gem (vibrant violent sheen), Pizzazz (glistening magenta), Mystic (matte blackberry)
Row 2: Spark (matte ruby red), Glitz & Glam (shimmering rose gold), Rockstar (matte mulberry), Ballsy (glistening mauve pink), Berry Treasure (glittering charcoal black)
Armed & Gorgeous
Armed & Gorgeous is fall in a palette! I wasn’t sure how all the oranges would look on my fair skin but the color combination is really cool. I created a really cool eye look the other day using the shades Secure, Agent, Smooth Criminal and Gilt Trip! Unfortunately I did not take a photo but the look lasted all day! VIP is a super white shimmer shade that is perfect for the inner corner to brighten up you eyes. The shade order left to right are:
Row 1: VIP (icy white shimmer), Access (matte turmeric gold), Gilt Trip (Gold leaf shimmer), Coin (glitzy gold sheen), Agent (matte saffron)
Row 2: Top Secret (matte absinthe green), Smooth Criminal (matte cognac), Secure (matte tangerine), Prowl (matte dark truffle), Classified (shimmering burnt gold)
