I picked up the Viseart Petit Pro Palette ($30.00) after it had been sitting in my Sephora cart for way too long. I was aware that the palette would be small, but I was surprised to find that the squares of shadow are large enough for my eyeshadow brush, and I didn’t even scoff at the tiny palette. As I…

The NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00) is a very warm palette and it’s very brown — almost boring you can say, but that’s the reason I bought it. Nars describes it as neutral, and ok, I accept that, but it’s also quite warm. I wanted something fresh and new for more natural looks for my 9-5. A couple of things…

I had total FOMO with the Giorgio Armani Eye Tints ($39.00) the first time I saw them, but I thought they were just too pricey so I just lusted after and thought about them for a long time. Finally, one day I just said F it and picked up Green Iron, the one I have wanted since seeing them on…

Who doesn’t love a good taupe? After brown, for me it’s the perfect shade of shadow. I purchased Mally Beauty Shadow Stick in Over the Taupe some time last year, thinking it was the one I had seen her demonstrate on QVC. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t (I think it was though). I remember it being so sparkly and pretty. Of course, that’s…

I was in New Orleans for an entire week when this sweet precious bundle of joy arrived at my house. I finally had a chance to get some swatches of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Makeup by Mario Master Palette ($45.00) going this past weekend. First impressions: At first swatch, I noticed immediately how powdery these were… as in there was…

ColourPop Super Shock Shadows are pretty good. I recently acquired three more shades to add to my collection: Game Face, Nillionaire, and Wattles. Wattles is a beigy pink on me, Nillionaire is my favorite of the bunch: a super wearable bronze, and Game Face is the most interesting being that I don’t have a coppery color like this in my…

Remember that post from five months ago about the Fiona Stiles Cream Shadows? Well, I’m just getting around to posting a full review on it for some reason. I know; shameful. It’s not because I’m that lazy, but just because so many shiny new things have held my attention. Arrow

What a long overdue post! If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen what these shadows look like on me and you already know how beautifully wearable they are. Prior to the collaboration, I had not heard of Jenn Im, nor had I participated in any of the other collaboration purchases; they just didn’t speak to me. These…

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Birthday Boy was an anniversary release, and was provided free with a purchase. It’s a gray-silver sparkly shadow, with somewhat of a brown base. Part of my purchase was ColourPop Ultra Matte Chilly Chili ($6.00), which has become a lippie that I reach for constantly.
