Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette

Behold the prettiness that is the Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette! Sedona Lace is an awesome conpamy that sells cosmetic palettes for both eyes and cheeks. They offer different types of colorful palettes, including neutrals, shimmer, and matte. They also sell a concealer palette and a contour and blush palette. Their prices are awesome, and their service is great! I know there are other companies that sell cosmetic palettes right now, I won't name names, but some companies are better than others...and Sedona Lace is my favorite. Their customer service is friendly and helpful, and the shipping is fast. Best of all, the product is quality. The 120 Pro Eyeshadow Palette comes with two tiers of eyeshadow palettes, the colors are really bright and highly pigmented. You get a variety of both matte and shimmer colors. I love this palette! You can create just about any look you want using the colors that come with this palette.

Cliche Cosmetics review

Wow. All I can say is that Cliche Cosmetics pretty much rocks. You can customize your own palette to create your own full look! You can buy pre-made palettes or make your own. There are so many different combinations to choose for the 4 eyeshadow spaces, you can choose: a lid and crease color, a liner, and a highlighter or you can choose four shadows (like I did in my custom palette). The bright colors are extraordinarily pigmented and show up beautifully in person and on camera! There are eight cheek colors to choose from: six blush shades, and two shimmer shades. I chose the light pink shimmer shade, it's an AMAZING highlighter! Finally, there are four different lip shades: 2 glosses, and 2 lipsticks. I chose the pink lipgloss, it's a beautiful bright pink with golden flecks. What would you choose?

But there's more! You can also browse face products, eye products, lip products and Cliche Cosmetics even has a brush set!

I LOVEEEEEE the HD lipgloss. I tried "Strawberry". The color is sheer bright pink, instantly brights up my NW15 complexion - especially on a humid summer day! Not to mention the amazing smell. I couldn't stop sniffing the application wand!


Check it out! I know that my readers have great taste in cosmetics and really know a good value when they see one! You won't be disappointed by Cliche Cosmetics, trust me!

Julie Hewett Review - Poppy palette, Chloe lip lush, Belle Noir lipstick/lip pencil

Poppy Palette

Before I review this specific palette, I just wanted to point out that Julie Hewett has some of the cutest palettes around. Ever. Also, you can have your own palette customized! [click the text for information]. Perfect gift idea or even for yourself. Definitely worth checking out. Anyway, back to the Poppy palette...this is adorable. This is perfectly designed for the spring/summer months! The colors range from a light pink eyeshadow ("Flora") to a creamy pink cheek and lip color ("Jami") to a peachy powder that looks gorgeous on the apples of the cheeks ("Clementine") and lastly, a light pretty pink gloss for the final touch ("Mimi")! Add a coat of mascara and the finished look is so soft: ethereal and pretty.

Swatch:


Chloe Lip Lush

[This lip lush was swatched on my sister's hand, she has warm undertones so that explains the change in the skin tones from the other swatches!]
This is such a pretty peachy color. It doesn't wash me out a bit, which is a huge problem for fair skinned girls like myself. THIS is the perfect peachy tangerine gloss that so many have been searching high and low for to wear during these warm summer months. This is it, ladies (and gentlemen)! Your search ends here. I highly recommend this.

Matching Lip Pencil in "Belle Noir"
The thing I love about this lip pencil is that it looks amazing on its own or under a lipstick or lipgloss. I have noticed with other lip pencils I have tried, they 'tug' on my lips as I try dragging them across to fill in my lip shape, but that is so not a problem with this. I love love love it. A definite winner for me. Not to mention that I adore the color! Check it out here!



Noir Collection Lipstick in "Belle Noir"
This was love at first swipe for me! Ohhhh my. Perfect for summer. It looks amazing with my fair skin and my red hair and really brings out the golden tones in my brown eyes. Wow. When I was picking out an outfit for my friend's 22nd birthday party, I actually picked out my dress and heels based on this lipstick! Needless to say, it was a hit! Check out "Belle Noir" and the rest of the Noir collection here!

Just for fun: Find out which of the lipsticks from the "Noir" collection you are!


Seriously, if you haven't already, PLEASE check this brand out! It's definitely worth a try!

Tarte review

I love Tarte. Apparently I'm not alone, this brand has made appearances in magazines like "Seventeen", "Lucky" and "Shape" just to name a few. I actually wore a double ended Tarte lip gloss during my senior year when I took my SAT (that I actually did amazingly well on, especially for my first attempt!)

A Perfect Whirled
(natural swirl cheek stain)

One swipe of this cheek stain delivers a gorgeously healthy looking coral flushed pink, and the light shimmery seashell pink provides a great highlight to the cheek adding a youthful glow. I was blown away at just how natural this actually appeared on my cheeks after I applied to the apples. If you're on the go and want a quick pick me up, this is definitely for you! It is like 2 products in one (blush and a highlighter). Just swipe on, blend a little bit, and you instantly have the appearance of a natural looking flush with a soft pretty highlight!

Spring Greening: Re-usable straw palette

This set definitely enables you to follow one of the three R's to help out the environment (reduce, recycle, and in this case, reuse). This set comes with a small bamboo brush (GREAT for blending the eyeshadow!) I was blown away at the size of this brush, and how it blends with such ease! The six eye shadows are highly pigmented and blend seamlessly using one of your other eye makeup brushes, or the bamboo brush that comes with the set. This set also contains three lip glosses. The clear sparkly gloss can be used over many shades, and the pink and peach glosses are totally gorgeous and the shine is amazing. I could see myself re-using this cute little straw palette as a small storage space when I have used up all of the eye shadows and lip glosses! Although it will probably be awhile before I run out of the eye shadows, from what I can see, it looks like you get a fairly decent amount of product. That's always a plus, and the straw palette is small and can easily fit into a medium sized purse, and I think this would be totally ideal for travel!
