Like I don’t have enough neutral eyeshadow palettes, right? I know a billion other girls can relate. Between all 3 Naked palettes by Urban Decay, my customized MAC palette, Lorac Pro and my Maybelline The Nudes palette…I’ve got it pretty covered. So now, someone tell me WHY I can’t resist buying more!!! I may never know why, but I do know that it keeps happening. Just a few weeks ago, I decided to stroll on in to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I didn’t have the intention of buying this palette even though I knew it would be available.

My husband’s family lives in Cleveland, so we take quite a few weekend trips. (5 hour drives!) I remember the first time we went for the weekend. I took the BIGGEST makeup bag with me.

It was a little chilly, but it was such an awesome day! I took my Ipsy bag and some of my favorite contents from July’s bag. The Pixi lip crayon, Pur Big Look Mascara, and Hang Ten tanning oil are my picks for the day at the park. I also brought some cash and my eyelash curlers. The best part about my Ipsy bag this month was actually the bag itself! It’s the only one I’ve truly…

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…
