When I first saw a picture of The Nudes by Maybelline, I knew I wanted it. In all honesty, I didn’t need ANOTHER nude eye shadow palette, but who cares? This one is only $9.99 at most drug stores and you can always use coupons or specials that drugstores have to get it even cheaper. Now, not all the shadows blew my mind. There ARE about 3-4 shadows I LOVE. They all happen to be the shimmery, taupe and bronzy shades. The rest I just like. The pigmentation isn’t the greatest, especially in the matte shades, but if you have a good base, you can work these up to…

Woo-hoo for completed MAC palettes! I can honestly say I had never really cared to do this before, but lately I have had a really specific look I have wanted and building my own palette has helped me to be able to control the shadows I look at more consistently instead of grabbing from this one and that one all the time.

NARS Guy Bourdin One Night Stand Cheek Palette This palette is one I couldn’t resist. There had been others I’ve seen and let go, but not this one. I was so surprised to walk into my local Sephora on the first day of the VIB Sale and see ANY of them on the shelf, let alone the 5-10 that were there. Nars pairing with Guy Bourdin (legendary fashion photographer that inspired Francois Nars to become a makeup artist) was an AMAZING idea. My regret is not taking a picture of the box before throwing it away. This Set Includes (In order of swatches listed) Devotee, Laguna Mistinguette, Orgasm Deep…
