![]() Palette 01Natasha Denona Palette 01 Eyeshadow Palette 5 ($48.00 for 0.40 oz.) contains four shimmery shades and one matte shade. The current formulation used in the five-pan palettes is much improved compared to formula I tested in 2016. All five shades performed better, while the colors were fairly consistent, though sometimes the shimmer was more standout in the updated formula. Back story: I purchased all of the 5-pan palettes a few months ago to re-review because if there’s a brand that has a more constant, evolving formula… it is Natasha Denona (the ingredient list is substantially different today compared to the original release and even from a few years ago). I have better experiences with the more updated formulas, so it seemed like a good way to test the current formula as well as get updated swatches. This week, the brand is running buy one, get one free on the 5-pan palettes… so… here we are… frantically reviewing them! Leave a comment with which one of the original 13 you are most desperate to see re-reviewed, and I will endeavor to make it so! Top Dupes

![]() Golden Aquamarine (86P)Golden Aquamarine (86P) is a brighter, mint green with cooler undertones and warmer, golden shimmer throughout. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense and a bit emollient (but more in a velvety way), so it worked better with a moderate brush and/or a flat brush for picking up product. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly on me. The updated formula is smoother, slightly more emollient, and the color is deeper, greener. Top Dupes

![]() Navy (01V)Navy (01V) is a medium-dark blue with subtle, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. The texture was finely-milled, soft, and a little powdery in the pan, but it adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well. It had good pigmentation that built up to full coverage with less than half of a layer more. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably. The color appeared a bit brighter than the original, but the performance was vastly improved, though I don’t think the matte formula here is as good as the Creamy Matte formula used in newer palettes.

![]() Piggy (80M)Piggy (80M) is a light pink with strong, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, cream-like texture that wasn’t too firmly nor too softly pressed into the pan. It applied well to my lid and blended out with little effort. This shade lasted well for nine hours before fading a bit. It is a lot more refined with a denser texture that held together better than the original I have, though the color and finish seemed to be nearly identical. It doesn’t have as much creaminess (which I’d expect based on how the formula has changed in terms of ingredients) to the touch–I just didn’t find that mattered for actual application and seemed to improve longevity overall.

![]() Graphite (07M)Graphite (07M) is a deep gray with cooler undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too firmly-pressed into the pan but wasn’t prone to fallout. It applied well to bare skin and blended out with ease. This shade wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit. The formula felt a bit less cream-like, but it wore better and was easier to work with, and the shimmer seemed to standout more.

![]() Slate (27M)Slate (27M) is a medium-dark purple with cooler undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was dense, smooth, and more firmly-pressed into the pan, but it wasn’t stiff or difficult to pick up, just seemed to have a higher-level of binder that ensured fallout was kept to the minimum (or next to none!). The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation that applied beautifully to bare skin and stayed on well for nine hours before fading visibly. It was very similar in color but appeared a bit more shimmery/metallic and had better wear time with the current formula, while the texture felt denser but had similar ease in application. Top Dupes

From floor to ceiling, the shop is adorned with taxidermied animals, paintings, tattoo machines, trophies, flash tattoo sheets and more. While it may seem cluttered to their clients, to the handful of artists who work out of the shop, it feels like home. Though the shop hasn’t called Marion Street it’s home for a few years – it’s now located at 2823 E. Colfax Ave. – it’s been a favorite among Denver tattoo-enthusiasts for the last decade. Since the doors of the original shop opened nearly 10 years ago, Marion Street Tattoo has had a number of interesting clients walk through it’s doors, including members of noteworthy bands that have sold out venues across the Mile High City. However, it’s not just the guests that have walked through the doors of the shop, but the doors that have been opened for the artists who call the shop home that make Marion Street Tattoo memorable. The story of Marion Street Tattoo begins with founder and current shop owner Ryan Willard. A transplant to Denver, Willard made his way to Colorado with hopes of pursuing his passion of mountain biking as an escape from the negative environment that surrounded him in his hometown of Detroit. With his sights set on Hawaii, he picked a place off of a map and found himself in Telluride. “Kind of as a blessing, I got stuck,” said Willard in an interview with 303 Magazine. “I came out towards fall time, ended up staying – and then years went by.” Living out of his car and painting murals inside of some of the mansions in town, Willard was always drawn to the world of art. Still returning home to some of his old haunts, he was always surrounded by tattoo culture. “I was always really pushed towards tattooing, but I just felt like I didn’t have it,” said Willard. “It was a different lifestyle, that sort of thing. At that time, it was a little rougher kind of group than what’s going on now – much more fringe.” Though it may have been intimidating, Willard didn’t shy away from the rough tattoo lifestyle. Following encouragement from industry leader Terry Welker, Willard found an apprenticeship at a biker shop on the western side of the state and began teaching himself how to put ink into the skin. Shortly after proving he had what it took to be a tattoo artist, he moved into a shop as a full-time tattooer, eventually moving to Denver where he would open Marion Street Tattoo with a fellow artist. However, Willard’s co-founder quickly realized that the shop was not what he truly wanted for himself and allowed Willard to buy him out of the lease – making Willard the sole owner of the shop. Since then, Willard has found a new home on Colfax, pioneered the Friday the 13th tattoo trend that sweeps Denver, kicked off Marion Street’s first-ever chili cook-off and made a mark on countless tattoo enthusiasts throughout the state. While the tattoos that come from Marion Street Tattoo speak for themselves, the platform that some of their owners stand on amplify the shop’s voice ten thousandfold. So, who exactly has Willard and the rest of the Marion Street Tattoo team left their mark on? The list is long and seemingly full of highlights. However, a few musical names stand out among them to include Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, Shakey Graves and members of his crew, the members of The Menzingers, Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!, The Bouncing Souls, Mumford and Sons and many, many more. Far from just tattooing talented musicians, Willard’s authenticity and positive outlook make him easy to befriend. Consequently, many of the noteworthy names that have sat under his tattoo machine have turned into repeat clients and more importantly friends. From partying with Dave Grohl in Nashville after a chance encounter with someone boasting a Foo Fighters’ connection to getting a Black Flag tattoo done on his leg by Bill Stevenson in a recording studio, Willard’s art has allowed him to experience aspects of the music industry that many music-lovers would kill for. “I’ve been fortunate enough to meet so many amazing people, and I mean that truly, without being cheesy I really mean that,” said Willard. “I’ve learned so much from people and just being able to experience something super intimate and personal, as far as tattooing and especially when I get to tattoo them. It’s amazing, it truly is a gift.” Whether his clients boast fame and fortune or not, Willard counts every experience he has as a blessing – an attitude that keeps him genuinely humble. “It literally blows my mind every day that people want to get art from me of any sort, whether it be this or tattooing. For it to snowball like this? It’s amazing. I can’t think about it because I get too overwhelmed.”Though he has no guesses himself, it’s likely that Willard’s positive energy is a contributing factor to why so many individuals seek him out for tattoos. When reminiscing on some of the highlights of his tattoo career – which include helping Brian Kienlen of the Bouncing Souls open his own tattoo shop and being a part of Mumford and Sons’ Road to Red Rocks when Marion Street gave the band commemorative tattoos – Willard clearly finds himself overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what he’s been able to experience. Though Marion Street Tattoo is often pigeon-holed as a shop that specializes in American Traditional tattooing, Willard and his colleagues will tattoo anything on anyone. “If I can stress anything, it’s always the fundamentals – and that’s in everything in life. Whether it’s relationships or diet or art or anything, you know. The fundamentals of tattooing all start with what is called traditional tattooing, which is basically just good tattooing,” said Willard “It’s not like it’s a tradition of shit, it’s a tradition of strong lines, strong color, tattoos that as we age and fall apart are going to be strong and hold up.” “My advice across the board for everyone is just make sure your stuff is positive and happy and be healthy. We’re not here long, so let’s have a good time with it and be colorful and whatever that is. Respect for each other and respect for yourself first. So fuck yeah, get tattooed – if that’s what you want, and if not then cool, that’s awesome too. But tattoos are awesome.”From living out of a van and painting houses to owning a popular tattoo shop that a team of talented tattoo artists calls home, Willard has lived a roller coaster of a life – but he wouldn’t have it any other way. A messenger of positivity, Willard’s authentically positive attitude makes him an enigma that you’ll want to be around whether you’re getting tattooed or not – and his incredible stories about the people he’s met throughout his career are just a bonus. You can schedule a consultation with any of the artists at Marion Street Tattoo here. Keep up with all of their tattoos by following them on Instagram.

Luckily, Liptruce, once known as the SIR band, found it easy. “Denver has reacted with like, throwing confetti is what I would say,” frontwoman Sarah Angela—more commonly known as SA—said. “People have written us that never say anything—that have always supported us, but never say anything. They have written, they’ve called, shown up at shows and have been like, ‘This new thing you’ve got going on is, like, where it’s at.’” The reason for the change? Googleability. “We wanted something that like, didn’t exist anywhere out there,” percussionist Like Mehrens explained. But for the most part, the band just felt that a change in a new direction was natural. “Liptruce kind of came to be because we want to stick with the sexy vibe,” SA said. ”But also like—I kind of made up a description of the word which is, like, to come together in love in a time of war or torment.” All together, the trio created their own genre. “We call it sexy emotional rock pop,” SA explained, and there’s no better description of their music. While on the surface level their music may be cathartically dance-able, digging deeper uncovers the many-layered aspects of their music that the band keeps close to their hearts and then gives to the world. “I think like any artist, we have so much drama in our life,” SA explained. “As a group and separately, we’ve lost so many important people to death and, of course, to break ups and all those things.” The trio writes these devastating life events into their music as a way of processing and working through them. “I think that’s just our writing style,” O’Hara said. “Kind of just like taking something that we’re feeling in the moment and, like, just kind of grabbing it.” SA talked about a particular event that inspired their emotional song “Elephant Ring” on their new album. “So, our last album, when we recorded it we were supposed to, like, hit the road, go on tour. The day we were supposed to leave on tour, our friend died—a really close friend of all of us, a huge supporter of our band. I mean, he moved here with me from another state, like all these different things. It halted our tour and it really halted our progression for a while. It just fucked everybody up. It took three years and we finally, like, wrote a song for him. It’s special.”
However, while still inspired by real-life events, not all of the songs on their album deal with life’s toughest parts. The band wrote “You Think You’re Hollywood” as a way of responding to a Los Angeles music industry member who doubted the band’s potential. “It is based on a life event for us,” O’Hara explained, “But, it was also—we were like, hey, let’s make a really upbeat really fun sassy ass fucking song. Let’s just do something great and ridiculous and crazy and have fun with it.” All photography by Julianna Photography.via https://303magazine.com/2019/11/liptruce-talks-their-special-brand-of-sexy-emotional-rock-pop/ ![]() Launching December 2nd, ColourPop Good as Gold Collection features a new shadow palette, three liquid eyeliners (new formula), and four lipstick/liner duos, which are all swatched in this post!

Based out of Boulder, the adaptogenic coffee alternative, RASA Koffee was created by Lopa van der Mersch out of a need to find something energizing and healthy to drink other than coffee to help her get through her new role as a mother. “There’s this unspoken credo amongst moms in our society that you just guzzle coffee to get through motherhood,” said van der Mersch. “Coffee has never been a good fit for my body, I get jittery and anxious. So I was like ‘I can’t do coffee but I need something to make this survivable’ and looked at all the coffee alternatives out there like really, that’s it?” Most of the coffee alternatives at the time contained sweeteners, grains and natural flavors. Upon this discovery, van der Mersch decided to create her own healthy elixir. Founder, Lopa van der Mersch and How RASA Koffee Came to Life
She met with an herbalist friend to produce a formula of herbs that is safe, nourishing, energizing and uplifting to the majority of the public. In this day and age of wellness, companies like Moon Juice and Sun Potion have popularized stress combating herbs like reishi, eleuthero and ashwagandha selling them in powder form. RASA Koffee is one of the first successful herbal coffee companies to use a mix of dried adaptogenic herbs as its blend. This potion came alive four years ago and was hard launched last April and since, it is already making its mark in the wellness world. The Scoop and How to Brew
The product line starts with the Original Rasa ($25, 8 oz.) coffee alternative which contains 12 organic herbs. On top of the original, there are two more varieties -- one of which is extremely popular -- the Cacao Rasa ($25, 8 oz.). This blend is the original but with an added healthy heap of Criollo Cacao. It is a healthier version than your average hot chocolate. It even has extra added benefits due to its compound theobromine which helps protect the heart. Then there’s the Dirty Rasa ($25, 8 oz.) which is the original but with some added organic coffee. “We had so many customers that were mixing the original [variety] with coffee,” said van der Mersch. “There’s some amazing synergy between these herbs and the coffee where it really helps to balance it out. We have a lot of people tell us I was having three to four cups a day, now I have one cup of dirty rasa, my energy sustains and I don’t have a crash.” This is great news for avid coffee drinkers, you can still drink your java but without the sometimes negative effects. The coffee used comes from women-owned and operated farms. Not to mention, all of RASA Koffee’s ingredients are 100 percent organic. Sustainability is a mantra here and next year all packaging is slated to be completely compostable. As for brewing, the most recommended method is a french press or Moka pot, but there are several other methods you can use. “It needs at least 10 minutes or pressure. Keurig uses pressure as well as espresso machines and Aeropress,” said van der Mersch. Or you can always simmer it on the stove. The site even has a link for accessories where you can buy a French press, Moka pot, mugs and even coffee additives like collagen and tocos. “People come to us for different reasons. It’s either people who can’t do coffee and will never be able to or people who are trying to get off of coffee for health reasons and are usually devastated,” said van der Mersch. “And then people who are adding it to their coffee and aren’t interested in quitting and just want to improve or optimize their health.” If you are unsure which variety you want to try, you can get a starter pack ($18) which includes all three varieties each in one-ounce packets. If you have auto-immune issues, RASA Koffee just launched an AIP friendly variety which is the original mix minus the ashwagandha. In January, a new caffeine-free blend will be released and there will most likely be some holiday-inspired blends coming out next year. In addition to buying online, you can also find RASA in several markets like NOOCH in Denver and Lucky’s in Boulder. See the site’s store locator for a complete list of carriers. The company is young but it already has a community of devoted customers making it a welcome addition to this new world of modern wellness. For more info go here.

Aside from the traditional holiday gift markets, there’s a healthy dose of other art-fueled activities happening over the next month that give you a reason to slow down and find the spirit of the holidays. Not only does your participation support local artists, but it also gives you a reason to share a unique experience with your loved ones, rather than exchanging items. Read on to see what artsy adventures await you this holiday season in the Mile High City. Cirque Dreams Holidaze![]() Photo courtesy of Gaylord Rockies Resort. When: November 22, 2019 – January 4, 2020 Where: bubly Cost: Starting at $29, here The Lowdown: This is the ultimate holiday spectacular, complete with aerialists, acrobats, singers, dancers, skaters and gymnasts all performing together under the guidance of Broadway director Neil Goldberg. Running for 60 shows over the holiday season, Cirque Dreams Holidaze features an international cast of 30 members, along with eight talented locals from Colorado (who auditioned for the parts in July of this year). “Knowing the depth of talent in Colorado, it was our goal to engage the finest local performers in both principal and ensemble roles,” Goldberg said. The local performers are Mark Autry of Colorado Springs, Bryan Connoly of Boulder, Shannon Foley of Parker, Aubrie Hamrick of Denver, Karen Lauffer of Littleton, Bethel Lindsley of Evergreen, Channing Napieralske of Denver and finally Staza Stone of Denver’s MOTH Circus. Aside from jaw-dropping stunts, choreography and aerial artistry, expect to see stunning costumes and enjoy original music with new twists on old holiday melodies. Christmas in Color![]() Photo courtesy of Christmas in Color When: November 22, 2019 – January 4, 2020 Where: Water World at 8801 N. Pecos St., Denver and Bandimere Speedway at 3051 S. Rooney Rd., Morrison Cost: $27 per vehicle available in advance here. The Lowdown: If you love looking at holiday lights, especially from the warm comfort of a car, then you’ll want to check out Christmas In Color. More than 1.5 million lights blink and glow in a synchronized dance with holiday music played on the radio inside your car. The lights illuminate all the typical holiday tropes like snowmen, candy canes and evergreen trees, but they also light up arched pathways and tunnels, some of which you will drive through. It’s probably best if your car has a moon or sunroof, but even if it doesn’t, there’s plenty to see out the sides, too. Christmas In Color is happening at two locations in Colorado this year. Holiday Market![]() Photo courtesy of Golden Triangle Holiday Market When: November 29 – 30 Where: Alley behind 1112 Broadway, Denver Cost: Free admission The Lowdown: This summer, the alley between Broadway and Lincoln and 12th and 10th Streets turned into a mural festival featuring some of Denver’s most prominent street artists. At the end of this month, the same alley will transform into a holiday market complete with festive lights, local handmade gifts, a gift-wrapping station and an urban Christmas tree lot. In total, 25 local artisans are expected to fill the alley, including Plant Garage with the trees, EJ’s Farm with goat’s milk soaps and Rowdy Poppy with hand-made wreaths and dried florals. Camp Christmas![]() Photo by Adrienne Thomas When: November 21, 2019 – January 5, 2020 Where: The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace, 2501 Dallas St., #135, Aurora Cost: Between $8 and $21, here The Lowdown: We all know someone who geeks out on Christmas decorations. Camp Christmas is an elevated version of that person’s dream. Situated inside 10,000 square feet of space in The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace, Camp Christmas is a spectacular showcase of decoration, Christmas history in pop culture and some sort of hybrid between Meow Wolf and a Santa wonderland mall attraction (as one of our writers called it). Featuring different vignettes of Christmases past — like Roman, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern and more — each stop on the path is unique and crafted carefully by Lonnie Hanzon, a local artist. Hanzon worked with Charlie Miller, a curator for Off-Center with the Denver Center for Performing Arts, to add a performative aspect to the highly visual show, using performers to immerse visitors into the magic and enchantment (and sometimes over-the-top storylines) that is Camp Christmas.

It’s in direct opposition to the Black Friday mentality — where corporations sell big-ticket items. Instead, you’ll find all hand-made items here from artists that you can continue following and supporting for years to come. “BaZaar is in response to the holiday madness that starts on Black Friday where useless items are sold to consumers, for a cheap price, with the inevitability of ending up in the landfill,” Nathan Larramendy, the gallery director said. Mile High Tree![]() Rendering courtesy of Visit Denver When: November 30, 2019 – January 31, 2020, from 5 to 10:30 p.m. nightly Where: Denver’s Sculpture Park Cost: Free Admission The Lowdown: The “Mile High Tree” is really only 110 feet tall, but when it’s illuminated by 60,000 LED lights it feels like a towering centerpiece of holiday spirit. Starting on November 30, the tree will open for visits, accommodating 140 people at a time while they stroll through the enormous sculpture to the sounds of music. It was created by a Spanish artistic and decorative lighting firm, ILMEX, and is touted as America’s tallest digital tree. For comparison, this electronic tree will be 10 feet taller than the tallest Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in history. READ: America’s Tallest Digital Tree is Coming to Sculpture ParkA Very Munny Christmas![]() Customized Munny by Pedro Correa. Photo courtesy of Kid Robot When: December 6, 7 – 10 p.m. Where: Monkey Fist Tattoo, 4100 Tennyson St. Cost: All items will be for sale through a silent auction The Lowdown: For the third year in a row, Kidrobot is throwing its annual Munny custom toy exhibition event called A Very Munny Christmas. A “Munny” is a specific type of Kidrobot customizable designer art toy and the holiday-themed event will feature 10 artists’ versions of a Munny. Denver-based artists are well-represented at the show, including Stan Yan, Awol, Drew Button and Amanda Vela. Visiting artists come from as far as Denmark (John Kenn Mortensen), Brazil (Pedro Correa) and the Phillippines (Jan Calleja) and also nationally from California (Porous Walker and Vanessa Ditullio) and New Jersey (One-Eyed Girl). All of their customized Munny toys will be for sale during the event, but you’ll have to compete in a silent auction for your favorite. The evening of holiday-themed toy art will be punctuated by beats from a DJ, demonstrations by tattoo artists and free beer. Granny Dances to a Holiday Drum![]() Photo courtesy of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble When: December 7 – December 22, various times Where: Cleo Parker Robinson Theatre, 119 Park Ave. West, Denver Cost: Between $30 – $40, here The Lowdown: For almost 30 years this particular show has become a holiday tradition for the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble and its fans and followers. Granny Dances to a Holiday Drum is unlike any other holiday celebration in Denver, blending almost every iteration of “holiday spirit” into a beautiful dance. You’ll experience everything from the birth of Christ to the Native American Winter Solstice to Las Posadas in Mexico to the Chinese New Year and so many in between. The plot is simple — Granny’s memories of magical dances she’s seen throughout her life are fading, but she wants to relive them for her grandchildren TiSean and Nakia. Through dance, live music and storytelling, the stories of holiday traditions from around the world are highlighted and told anew. If you haven’t seen a Cleo Parker Robinson performance yet, make this your excuse to go. Between Us Alleyway Walking Tour![]() Photo courtesy of Downtown Denver Partnership When: December 11, 3 – 6 p.m. Where: Starts at alley between Broadway and Lincoln on 16th St. Cost: Free The Lowdown: Spend a day with your family or friends exploring the alleys off of 16th Street Mall. No, that’s not a typo — the alleys have been transformed over the last year with artworks from a wide variety of artists. On December 11, you’ll get the chance to enjoy a guided tour of the new artworks in a few of the alleys by Sabin Aell, Lares Feliciano, Marsha Mack, Rian Kerrane and Chinn Wang. The tour will be led by Deanne Gertner of Hey Hue and Castle Searcy. Plus, some of the artists will be present for talk-backs and the whole afternoon will end with a reception at the ice rink at Skyline Park. Night Lights Denver![]() Photo by Adrienne Thomas When: Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, after dark Where: Daniels & Fisher Tower, 1601 Arapahoe St., Denver Cost: Free to watch The Lowdown: After years of planning and preparations, the Denver Theatre District debuted a huge project on November 7 — Night Lights Denver. With specially-designed visuals from a variety of local and international artists, the Daniels & Fisher Tower on the 16th Street Mall is illuminated with stunning visuals every weekend. The artists will rotate regularly and the tower will also feature other programming, like animations from local university students. Natura Obscura![]() A scene from inside Natura Obscura at the Museum of Outdoor Arts. Photo by Cori Anderson When: Open until December 28, 2019 Where: Museum of Outdoor Arts, 1000 Englewood Pkwy., Englewood Cost: $10 – $20, here The Lowdown: Although Natura Obscura originally planned to stay open for four months at the beginning of this year, it’s stayed open for almost an entire calendar year due to popular demand. Curated by an artist duo who goes by Prismajic, the indoor installation is an enchanted forest with hidden secrets (use the black light to find them), surreal grottos, a swing that activates an audio experience and more. One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibit is the augmented reality addition, which you’ll have to download an app to use. Aside from Prismajic, a talented group of local artists and Museum of Outdoor Arts interns helped design and fabricate Natura Obscura, like Chris Bagley and Nicole Banowetz. December is the last chance you have to walk through the forest yourself and see what all the buzz is about. via https://303magazine.com/2019/11/artsy-activities-denver-holidays-2019/ I don’t have a real go-to; I tend to opt for warmer tones, either a jewel-toned eye if I’m feeling colorful or a smokier, gold/bronze kind of vibe and then pairing cheeks/lips from there.
