It’s Spring sale time, and while Ulta’s generous discount towards premium brands is just ending, Sephora’s will be going on in the end of April through the first week of May. Sure you get 20 eyeshadows for $65, along with lovely packaging, but all in all the quality of those shadows isn’t A+. I fell in love with the NARS Skin Deep Eyeshadow Palette, and I’m happy to say these 12 are on par with that excellent quality. Although NARS has thankfully eliminated their rubbery and invariably gummy outer packaging for the Skin Deep and Ignited palettes, they do scratch up pretty easily and the clasps are hard to open.
Yes, I know, I do have tons of loose powders that will take me years to get through, but I just couldn’t resist trying out this particular powder. Too Faced Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder is available in two shades – Translucent Peach and Caramelized Peach, for darker skin tones. It’s not the greatest loose powder I’ve ever used and it’s also not the worst. It’s a really great powder, but I can’t quite say it’s the best due to a bit of oily breakthrough I experience.
It was a thrill when that happened with Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, a beauty product that’s been on my wish list for a while. When I worked behind a beauty counter a coworker would demonstrate products and say the following words: “Now, this is going to give you that Old Hollywood Glow There are seven shades of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter available. It reminds me in a good way of a Prescriptives product that’s long discontinued and gave my skin a lovely , lit-from-within glow.
Honey isn’t just a delicious way to sweeten your drinks and food, it’s also a powerful antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient that nourishes our skin. Not only can you use honey on it’s own as a mask (use a thin layer, rinse after 15 minutes), but you can also mix it with other ingredients for a gentle yet powerful pore cleanser. I mix equal parts manuka honey with Aztec Secret Mask and apple cider vinegar and it makes my skin look fantastic.
