All I Want for Christmas is the Natasha Denona Star Palette


I have lusted for @natashadenonaeyeshadows for almost a year now. They looked so rich and pigmented. Even at more than $200 dollars for the 28 shadow palette, I thought they were worth it because you get a lot of product for the price and quality product at that. This is also how i view @makeupforeverofficial artist shadows and @narsissist audacious lipsticks. They are expensive because they are worth it. I just never pulled the trigger on the ND big palettes because I did not think I'd get much use out of them. The shades weren't right for me, too many greens, blues and purples, and that made the big palettes not worth the price tag. But, the Star Palette is different. The #natashadenonastarpalette looks perfect with its warm mattes, berries and taupes. I can wear these shades every day of the week. Plus, the reviews have been excellent. (Thanks @glamlifeguru and@readysetglamour ) According to early reviews, ND appears to have even leveled up the quality of her shadows, particularly the mattes, and made them more blendable yet as pigmented as the mattes in the big palettes. I am bewitched. So, I have resolved to take the plunge. This breathtakingly exquisite palette shall be my Christmas gift to myself.

Brush Review. The MAC 221 Mini Tapered Blending Brush. It's described in the MAC website as a shadow-blending brush used for application and blending of powders. I've vacillated between getting this brush and a flat shader brush because I thought it might be redundant with my 224. It isn't. It applies shadows in a more precise and targeted manner than my 224. Simply, the track of color it leaves behind is thinner and smaller so if you want to do more detailed work, this is a must-have. This is also velvety soft. No scratchiness at all, unlike the 224. The way I use this brush, I apply my crease color, which is usually dark or medium brown, blend it out a little using a window wiping motion. After, I use my 224 to apply my transition color, usually a light brown or tan, at the top part of my crease and blend that out a little as well using the same side to side motion. I gotta say, this is one of my best brush purchases due to the uniqueness of its utility and how gosh-darn soft it is. Good news, this was a limited edition brush but is now permanent. Bad news, during my vacillating period, I've noticed that MAC stores only have 1 or 2 of this brush in stock so if this becomes more popular it might be difficult to find.

On National Lipstick Day

Image
via Instagram http://ift.tt/2aYoSDp This is me being bummed because i totally missed out on #nationallipstickday even though i have a shameful number of new lipsticks to review. Sorry. I have been exhausted and uninspired lately. I hope to do better in the following days. In the meantime, here's an #motd . Primer #niveapostshavebalm sensitive. This was discovered and populararized by the fabulous and hilarious @nikkietutorials . It's supposed to help keep your makeup stay longer and better throughout the day. Now, I'm not sure it does that. I think I'll have to do one of those half face tests to be certain. This, however, did not break me out and, considering it's one of the more affordable primers out there, it's worth checking it out.
