Favorite Green Eyeshadows for the Holidays

This whole week I’ve been wearing obnoxious make-up looks to go to the office.  Shimmery eyeshadows, sparkley blush, glitter lipgloss… what’s the occasion?  It’s the holidays, of course!  One of my favorite things that I’ve been playing with is green eyeshadow, and I wanted to share with you guys some of my favorites!

Top 7, here we go!

Where Have You Been All My Life? theBalm Review

15 Dec

theBalm theBalm, where have you been all my life?  I’ve spotted you at my local Sephora, but your brand isn’t as big as some of the others that they carry so I usually just pass right on by.  That is, until I read a review on Temptalia’s site about how outstanding your eyeshadows are.  After that, I was intrigued.  I had to try theBalm’s products.

theBalm and The Beautiful, Swatches

19 Nov

Happy Saturday everyone!  Due to the new Muppets movie coming out, the beauty world has come out with several Muppet themed products.  From OPI’s Muppet nail polish, to the Miss Piggy for MAC collection (if you can even call it a “collection”), and, my favorite, theBalm Cast Your Shadow Face Palette.

The palette contains 16 eye shadows, 2 lip/cheek stains, and 1 lip gloss and retails for $44.50.  The packaging is so adorable with the Muppets theme, as well as the names of all of colors.  But here’s the catch… they only made 1,000 of them.

After reading Temptalia’s review of this palette I longed for it, I wanted it so much!  Much to my dismay, I was not one of the lucky 1,000 recipients…

But do not worry, I didn’t stay sad for long.  theBalm made another palette, almost identical to the Muppets themed one!  It’s their holiday 2011 palette, theBalm and The Beautiful.  This palette is soap opera themed, and cleverly so.  It features the same amount of products and the colors are (almost) identical.
