Pagan festivals, also known as neo-pagan festivals, are events that celebrate the traditional customs and practices of pre-Christian societies. These festivals are often marked by nature-based rituals, music, dance, and communal feasts. Paganism is a diverse spiritual belief system with numerous traditions, and each tradition may have its own unique festivals. In 2023, there are several significant pagan festivals that will take place. **One of the most widely recognized pagan festivals is Beltane, which is celebrated on May 1st**. Beltane marks the beginning of summer and is associated with fertility and renewal.

How to work out your skin tone:

It's best to do this wearing no make up - wait 30 mins after washing your face as any scrubbed skin may appear pink and give a false reading.

Hold a white piece of paper up to your face.

Looking in a mirror, try to see how your skin looks in contrast to the white paper. It may appear to have a yellow cast, a blue-red or rosy cast, or it may not appear to be either, but a grey colour instead. What colour does you skin appear at the side of the paper?

• Yellowish or sallow beside the white paper, you have a warm skin tone.
• Pink, rosy, or blueish-red, then you have a cool skin tone.
• Grey, your skin probably has an olive complexion with a neutral undertone. The green from your complexion and the yellowish undertone combines to create this effect. You can experiment with neutral and warm tones, since you fall somewhere in between.
• If you can't determine any cast of yellow, olive, or pink, you have a neutral skin tone. Neutral tones can look good in foundations and colours on both ends of the cool/warm spectrum.

Another way to do this is to look at what colour jewellery you wear.

• If you suit gold you more than likely have a warm skin tone.
• If you suit silver you more than likely have a cool skin tone.
• If you can wear both colour you more than likely have a neutral undertone.

Storybook Cosmetics Wizardry and Witchcraft Palette | Review

A full makeup line of products inspired by our favorite stories? Now that is a major dream come true for me! I’m a huge bookworm so when I saw Storybook Cosmetics announce they had big plans with collabs and products, I constantly stalked their Instagram account. They first launched a set of wand shaped makeup brushes which I was lucky to grab in the first release. Then they announced they were working on this palette that I’m about to review for you all! I was so happy to preorder and although shipping commenced a few months after preordered, it was well worth the wait!

About the Brand

Storybook Cosmetics was created by three sisters – they’re triplets in fact – Erin, Mandy, and Missy! They went viral in October 2016 with their wand shaped brushes! Since then, they’ve been working incredibly hard to create and deliver top of the line products inspired by stories. Currently, their shop features Wizard Wand Brush Sets, Bullseye Brush Sets, What’s In A Name Brush Set, and the Wizardry and Witchcraft Shadow Palette!

About the Product

Here’s a description of the palette from their website:

This is a magical palette featuring a custom hardcover storybook with a dozen highly pigmented matte, metallic and pearl eyeshadows. The cruelty-free, long wear, buttery smooth shadow formula can be used wet or dry. Mix and match to concoct your favorite spellbinding look.

Mystical shades include:
Broomstick: rusty brown (matte), Sorcerer: ruby red (metallic), Cloak: graphite grey (matte), Potions: emerald green (metallic), Prophecy: pearly white (pearl), Salem: frosted pewter (pearl), Merlin: sapphire blue (metallic), Bewitched: coppery gold (metallic), Cauldron: charcoal black (frost), Spell Book: rich mahogany (pearl), Charms: shell pink (matte) and Jinx: shimmering silver (metallic).

The patent pending Wizardry and Witchcraft Eyeshadow Palette Book™ features a gorgeous vintage style storybook complete with gold foil details and full-sized mirror. This one of a kind book is worthy of any beauty archive.

Cost and Shipping

This palette costs $52 and Storybook Cosmetics ships worldwide excluding China, Thailand, Mexico, and South America. Some products may be available to US only due to licensing restrictions.

Packaging

When I first saw sneak peeks of this product, I thought the packaging looked bulky. The design seemed cute and all but I wasn’t sure if I’d like the idea of shadows in a bulky book shaped palette. However, I had full faith in these talented ladies and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! The palette comes in a sleeve and both come in a pouch with their logo in the center.

The palette is the perfect size and the vintage style with gold foil details is beyond stunning!

I love the detailing that went behind the packaging with the quote they have right below the mirror inside!

I also love the back of the palette and sleeve. The back of the palette has a quote they created that I really adore, “Once upon a time, there were three sisters who never stopped believing in fairytales…and they all lived happily ever after.” Below that is their copyright information and logo. The sleeve has all this plus the shades and ingredients listed.

Formula

The formula is buttery and the shade range is what I had hoped it would be – magical. I found all the shades to be blendable and pigmented. The metallics ands pearls are more pigmented than the mattes, but that’s something I tend to expect with all palettes. The swatches are without primer and one layer of product. I love that there’s a gold and silver, green and blue, and basically just a bunch of different colors I associate this theme with!

Final Thoughts

I had pretty high expectations for this palette. Not just the formula, but the packaging as well. I know I won’t use this palette daily but I knew that before purchasing the palette. I love supporting indie brands, especially brands with great customer service and a team of people who love what they do and care about their customers and fans. The team behind Storybook Cosmetics does just this! I’m looking forward to their upcoming projects that are planned to release this year along with what else they have coming down the road.

Samhain is often referred to as the pagan New Year and is a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is believed to be thinnest. It is commonly associated with honoring ancestors and the deceased, as well as reflecting on the cycle of life and death. **Yule is another prominent pagan festival that takes place on the winter solstice, usually around December 21st**. Yule celebrates the rebirth of the sun and the return of longer days after the winter solstice. It is a time of feasting, gift-giving, and honoring the cycles of nature. In addition to these well-known festivals, there are many other smaller, localized pagan festivals that will take place in 2023. These festivals may vary depending on the specific pagan tradition or the region in which they are celebrated. Some examples include Imbolc, Ostara, Litha, and Lammas. Overall, **pagan festivals in 2023 provide an opportunity for individuals and communities to connect with nature, honor their ancestors, and celebrate the cycles of life**. These festivals offer a chance to experience the rich traditions and customs of pagan belief systems, and to foster a deeper spiritual connection with the natural world and the divine..

Reviews for "Celebrate the Seasons: Pagan Festivals to Look Forward to in 2023"

- Sarah - 2 stars - I attended the Pagan festival in 2023 and was extremely disappointed. The organizers promised a unique and immersive experience, but it felt like any other generic music festival. The performances were lackluster and didn't capture the spirit of Paganism. Additionally, the lack of organization and overcrowding made it nearly impossible to fully enjoy any aspect of the event. Overall, I felt like the festival failed to deliver on its promises and was a waste of time and money.

- John - 1 star - I have been attending Pagan festivals for years, but the one in 2023 was by far the worst. The atmosphere was completely off, and it seemed like the organizers had no understanding of Pagan traditions and practices. The workshops and rituals felt superficial and poorly planned, leaving me feeling disconnected and disenchanted. It was a disappointing experience and I would not recommend attending future Pagan festivals based on this one.

- Emma - 2 stars - The Pagan festival in 2023 was a major letdown. The advertised workshops and lectures were disorganized and poorly executed, making it difficult to gain any valuable knowledge or insight. The overall vibe of the festival felt forced and it seemed like the focus was more on commercialization rather than celebrating Paganism. I left feeling unsatisfied and disheartened, and I will not be attending any future Pagan festivals if they continue down this path.
