Storybook Cosmetics and Musee Beauty both released palettes around the same time that were inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting and I got a lot of requests to compare the two palettes.

Pixi Beauty recently collaborated with 4 Youtubers and I was generously sent all the products to try out.

So let’s get right down to business! And tell me in the comments below what you think about this new series!
