I scored this gorgeous Palette from the Special Edition PopSugar Box that I received last month. It was definitely one of the highlights of the box and it has easily become one of my favorite eye shadow palettes I own.

This palette includes 9 shadows, 3 matte shades & 6 shimmers, as well as a Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner.

All 3 matte shades are slightly chalky therefore I only like them as a base.

The 6 shimmer shades are fabulous! They are highly pigmented and work well alone, blended or as a powdered liner.

The Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Ladyfish glides on so smooth and even though it is smudge-able for a smokey eye look, the color really stays put for long wear. The swatch shown does no justice for the color. It really is such a beautiful shade of dark purple with shimmer.

This palette was sold out on the Stila website as well as a few others sites I checked out such as Asos, Nordstrom and Karmaloop BUT I was able to find it HERE.

What do you think about the shades featured in this palette?

I’ve been hearing so much buzz about the L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Lipstick that I had to go pick some up to try them out myself.

I decided to go with Violet Chiffon and Cherry Tulle.

Violet Chiffon is a beautiful lavender shade while Cherry Tulle reminds me of a cherry ice.

What I love most about this line is how the formula is basically a mix between a lip stick and a lip gloss. The colors are very buildable and you can go from a slight sheer color to ultra bold in just a few swipes. They are very light weight on the lips, hydrating and moisturzing which is always a plus! I also love the mirror-like packaging which provides easy application if your on the go.
