Tom Ford Beauty Cherry Smoke Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.) features the brand’s more traditional powder eyeshadow formula with two matte shades, one satin shade, and one more sparkly shade. The mattes were finely-milled and blendable, but the shimmers could have been better–obviously at this price point, this product needs to deliver exactly as you want it to in order to be “worth” it.
Cherry Smoke #1 is a muted, medium copper with moderate, warm orange undertones and a matte finish.

Cherry Smoke #2 is a darker, richer copper with moderate, warm orange undertones and flecks of red and copper sparkle throughout.

Pupa Delicious Cake Cherry Chocolate Cake Eyeshadow Palette ($19) is one of two new scented eyeshadow palettes that launched around Valentine’s Day. I haven’t picked up a Pula release in a long time. Although, an Italian brand Pupa was lumped in with my Japanese makeup obsessed several years ago since it was a pretty popular brand in Japan and I used to follow the releases pretty closely. I can go even further back and tell you about when Pupa used to be at Sephora. Who remembers that? They had these cute all-in-one palettes shaped like angels, squirrels, etc…For a while, I Heart Revolution did a cute round of Teddy Bear Palettes that reminded me of Pupa!
I picked this up from amazon.com of all places. I didn’t know they had a Pupa storefront but they do indeed. I paid a lot for it though at $19 as it only has four shades but Pupa has never really been a cheaper brand. I honestly didn’t need it but I was feeling all Valentine-y at the time and work stress was getting to me. Combine the two and suddenly, I had purchased the palette because it reminded me of Valentine’s chocolates, hearts, and roses plus retail therapy ya know?
This palette comes housed in a bright raspberry compact with a generously sized mirror and four eyeshadows inside. The total size is 0.25 oz in size. If the $19 price tag threw you keep in mind it’s a pretty generous helping of eyeshadow.
There are four shades two of which are matte and two metallics. The matte shades are a stark white and dusky rose and the metallic are cranberry and berry brown. White is a shade I likely won’t use very much. It was meant to highlight the brow bone and inner corner but I just find white looks rather bad on me. The other four shades are lovely. All three are pigmented with a firm texture but not drying or chalky. I appreciate the firmer texture I appreciated as I was able to easily pick up the color without getting a kick up of powder. The shadows apply smoothly and evenly on my eyes and blend flawlessly. I had no issues with creasing through the wear nor did the colors fade as the day wore on. I loved this color story. It was one of the main reasons I purchased it. The shades just work well so beautifully well together (aside from the white, sorry, just not into it). The eyeshadows are supposed to be scented like cake but I only get a very faint scent of chocolate. After I used the palette a few times to scent disappeared completely.
Do you need the Pupa Delicious Cake Cherry Chocolate Cake Eyeshadow Palette? Probably not at this price. It was just a cute spontaneous purchase for me. If it was cheaper, I’d probably say run to grab it but at $19 it’s a bit expensive plus some of you might struggle a bit with that white like I did which would mean you’re only using three of the four shades and that makes it a costly palette.
All, the Pupa Delicious Cake Cherry Chocolate Cake Eyeshadow Palette is cute but not a must-have.

a href=”https://go.shopmy.us/p-1274966″ rel=”noopener nofollow” target=”_blank”>Pupa Delicious Cake Cherry Chocolate Cake Eyeshadow Palette is a limited edition four-shade palette that was introduced for Spring 2023. It’s a scented palette that’s supposed to smell like cake but to me, it smelled like chocolate. This scent disappeared after two uses of the palette. It contains two mattes and two metallics. All four are pigmented beautifully with a firm texture that was easy to pick up with my eyeshadow brush. They apply and blend well. It’s $19 and the palette is generously sized at 0.25 oz but I don’t think it’s a must-have just because I didn’t make much use of the stark white shade in this palette which cut me down to only three shades making it pretty expensive.
Pupa Delicious Cake Cherry Chocolate Cake Eyeshadow Palette might be an appealing pick for fans of this brand but not everyone needs to grab this.

Pat McGrath Skinsane 2 SatinAllure Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light, pinkish-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish.

Formula Overview
for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).
$30.00/0.13 oz. – $230.77 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “medium buildable coverage” with a “satin shine finish” that is “comfortable” and “weightless.” The texture was lightweight, on the thinner side but had good glide that it didn’t feel clingy and seemed to be fairly forgiving of lip texture and imperfections. The coverage was more semi-opaque to opaque than true medium. They wore for four to six hours, depending on the richness of the shade.
Also worth pointing out: the price drop (from $38 to $28) reflects a change in the packaging, primarily felt in the cap, which is now a much thinner and lighter-weight plastic (reminiscent of the brand’s mini lipsticks).

Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: Pat McGrath SatinAllure lipsticks arrived! I have to do lip swatches still (hopefully later this morning).
Weekend plans: Spending as much time as I can with the puppies and Bri. The pups all have their next fosters lined up (they will go in pairs/trios), and fingers crossed, Bri will have a foster as well (I heard there was interest but nothing is confirmed yet), and so they’ll head back to the rescue on the 6th, get their first vaccinations, and those lucky Steaklets will head to the next stage in their journey to their forever homes. They will get neutered/spayed late April and be available for adoption on May 4th (Bri will be spayed in late April and be available for adoption on April 28th), so after the 6th, I probably won’t see them until late on the 3rd or early on the 4th. I’m going to miss them so much!
What are you looking forward to in April? Getting a little more sleep, having some free time, and spending more of that free time with Winnie once the pups leave my care. Thankfully, I enrolled Winnie into doggy kindergarten, and he’s going twice a week for five hours each day. He plays puzzles, does mazes, learns how to use agility equipment, plays with water, socializes with other dogs… They said they have not seen him nap yet, LOL, during the brief nap time on each day.
Psst… since it’s Friday and we’re heading into the weekend, if you have some downtime, consider playing one of the games hubby and I have created! 🙂 You’ll find all of our games on Awordy, but here’s a breakdown of what we have so far:
