Giveaway: Lorac Riesling Romance Eye Shadow Palette!

I’m a big fan of Lorac eye shadow palettes. So my sole purchase during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty was the Lorac Riesling Romance Eye Shadow Palette. This pretty and portable limited edition palette came out in late November 2015 and was the Cyber Monday special at Ulta. I missed it then and didn’t want… Continue reading Giveaway: Lorac Riesling Romance Eye Shadow Palette!

I’m a matte shadow lover. I own more matte palettes than anyone I know. But I also love cream shadows. So when Milani sent me all four of their Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes several weeks ago, I knew I had to move out of my matte shadow comfort zone.   Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine are… Continue reading Major Sparkle with Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine

Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow Palette

About a year ago, I bought Urban Decay Naked Basics during a trip to Ulta. I put it away and pretty much forgot all about it.

The next day, my friend, Kim, was kind enough to… Continue reading Jesse’s Girl “The Eyes Have It” Palette

NYC HD Color Eye Shadow Trio: Long Beach Sands

Recently, I received my first VoxBox from #Influenster — the Holly Jolly VoxBox — a box full of edible and non-edible goodies.                           There were two makeup items in the box (to my absolute delight!) — eye shadow and lip gloss, and I… Continue reading NYC HD Color Eye Shadow Trio: Long Beach Sands
