Liplicious in Paris Amour
I love Bath and Body Works' Liplicious glosses. They smell amazing and they always have nice color. Because they are sheer they can be worn over lipsticks. This one is pretty good although it smells more like caramel than the actual Paris Amour scent. The color is gorgeous. The only complaint that I have is that it can be pretty sticky unless you go really lightly with it. Other than that I love it. I would definitely suggest everyone go pick up a couple of these glosses because they are very very affordable, and pretty high quality!
Foundation Woes
Is anyone else having difficulties with foundation lately?
As I have only recently started wearing make-up (April of last year), I haven't yet undergone the transition from summer to fall. Over the summer my skin was incredibly oily and absorbed my make-up like crazy, I even had a hard time keeping it on.
Now it seems completely different. As the weather gets colder my foundation seems to have turned on me. When I use my foundation brush to apply my MAC mineralize foundation and then dust my mineralize skin finish natural over it, my skin gets all scaly and I can see my foundation on it. It's disgusting. I've realized I definitely need to use more moisturizer and primer. Also, I have to use my beauty blender or everything looks streaky.

Stila Color Wheel Palette
As I also have a palette like this in neutrals, I had to get this one with all of its beautiful colors. As you can see from the swatches, this palette is really fantastic. All of the colors are very pigmented.
When I use this palette, I like to use the two colors that are next to each other on a spike. Take the greens. I use the outer, lighter green color on my lid and the darker color on my crease. I then line my eyes with the middle color. If you use this technique, you can never go wrong. It's really a great palette, especially if you love color on your eyes. For a pop you can use the brighter turquoise color, but if you want something more neutral you can use the light pink colors. There are multitudes of things you can do with this palette ranging from tame to really wild.

Urban Decay Show Pony/Preen palette
Note to all, I ordered the Show Pony and the Preen palette thinking that they were different palettes. They are not. They have different cases but they have the exact same colors in them. Pictured here is the Show Pony palette.
I love Urban Decay. I think that they do eyeshadow better than anyone else. I love it when their palettes include the eyeliners and primer potions as well. All the colors in this palette are amazing. The neutral colors can be worn every day, and the other colors are amazing to give eyes a pop. Flash, the purple, is probably my favorite color in the entire palette. I like using the bright colors to line my eyes if I plan on wearing them in an every day setting.
All of the brighter colors blend really well with the brown colors. This palette is very versatile, the perfect palette to take on a vacation if you need daytime and evening looks. I would definitely suggest this to people to purchase! I love it!
