I’m currently packing my bags – leaving for China in a bit! As I will be there for a while – and I’m I’m trying to limit my baggage to one suitcase, I’m seeking cosmetics that get a big job done in a tiny package.
Coming with me shall be NARS new Day and Night Palette, a 6-well collection of shimmering and sparkling eyeshadow shades.

Tarte is one of those fabulous brands that no only has great shades made from all-natural ingredients, but they also come in cool packaging and are kind to the environment.
So, obviously, I’m almost predestined to like their new launches!
Exclusively for Beauty.com, Tarte just released their Miss Fix-It Palette.
It’s a great little kit for when you are touching-up at work, pre-date, and need the basic essentials.
Included are champagne, turquoise, purple, and teal eyeshadow lipglosses in lilac and pink, and a luminizer – how fabulous is even the presentation??? I’m in love.

I love the shades (and possibilities) in Lancome’s new Color Design Palette.
It is a compact of sexy shimmers and mattes that you can easily mix and match to create your ideal day-to-night look. These come in a few different palettes, and are pretty traditional shades but the variance in texture really do make a difference.
Note: Do not be one of those people who buy a compact like this and use the same color over and over. It sort of defies the point, and is pretty darn wasteful!

Even if you will, it gets way easier when you don’t have to, and with Sephora brand’s new PURE National 7-color palette, you get six wearable shades of shadows (good for day and night) and …read more
