Favorite Fall Palettes

Hey guys so as a beauty lover I have accumulated a few palettes along the way. I love all of my palettes and use them often. I wanted to share some of my favorite palettes for the fall/winter time. When I think of fall I immediately think of warm tones, don't you?
So here I have a combination of older, newer and unfortunately some limited edition discontinued palettes.
These are some of my favorites. Lets start with the Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette:

I love that this palette offers all matte colors. This has amazing shades and is super easy to travel with. You have 9 big eye shadows with great color payoff and a variation of warm, cool and neutral shades. 

Next up is the Kat Von D Monarch Palette:

Let me start out by saying that Kat Von D knows her stuff, she is quickly becoming an obsession of mine! This isn't my only Kat Von D palette but it is my only fall favorite one. The quality of her shadows are amazing and they last forever. You get 12 shades in this palette and it truly is beautiful!

Now let's talk Too Faced Chocolate Bar:

This original chocolate bar is amazing in every aspect. I own the semi-sweet too but this one is by far my favorite of the two. This has beautiful colors and it smells amazing! Perfect Fall palette for sure!
This palette offers you 16 shades total. All rich in color payoff and phenomenal lasting power.

Ok this next one is the Morphe Colab with Jaclyn Hill: (unfortunately no longer available)

This is such a beautiful palette, seriously you guys all I have to say is Jaclyn is amazing and knows her stuff. She put me onto Morphe and I love their eye shadows and brushes. These are such beautiful shadows. 28 shadows total. They don't sale the palette anymore but you can buy these individually.

Somehow I am sure you all expected an Urban Decay Palette listed somewhere, well I have one and it's the newish amazing Naked Smoky Palette!

I think this is one of my favorite all time palettes! No joke it is gorgeous. I have created so many fabulous eye looks with this little jem! This offers 12 shades that are perfect and compliment each other so beautifully.

The next one is a more affordable palette, it's the Revealed 2 by Coastal Scents:

This palette is great, especially the price point. The colors are beautiful and they offer good color payoff. There is very little fall out and just a tad bit powdery but nothing bad, trust me. This includes 20 beautiful shades.

Last but certainly not least is the bhcosmetics It's Judy Time Palette: (Also no longer available)

So this palette is a colab with another YouTuber, Judy and it offers 12 lovely eyes shadows. This was also very affordable and the colors are beautiful. They are so rich in pigmentation with little to no fall out at all.

OK guys these are my Fall Favorite Palettes!
I hope you have enjoyed my little post. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a kick ass day!

September Monthly Favorites 2015

Why hello there guys, can you believe September is already pretty much over? How crazy is that? Seriously the older I get the faster time seems to go by, it's nuts!
Anywho, I love this month because it's the start of the Fall/Autumn Season, my absolute favorite time of the year!
Here are my monthly favorites for this month:

You might be thinking, not your planner again?! Nope it's the new cover I am LOVING and the month and day tabs. I am so sorry that the picture above is horrible, I couldn't get a good pic this month. 

 Here is a closeup of my cover and the tabs. I bought the the cover and the tabs on Etsy.

Simply click on pictures below and you will be taken directly to the shops I purchased these from.

Now for the tabs, I ordered the silver edition as seen pictured above. I did that so it matched the coils of my planner ☺. (click on picture below to view sellers shop).

Ok next up is the much LOVED and highly used Urban Decay Smoky palette:

This is by far in my opinion the best and must have Naked palette out there. I won't go into too much detail on this on because I did a full post and review, check it out. Click here to see it.

Next up is the Becca Champagne Pop colab with Jaclyn Hill.

This is the best highlight of life, I love this SO much! This is another product that I did a full review on. Click here to view it.

Next up is a brush from Sigma. The small eye liner-E10 brush

For all that know me, you know that I love me some eye liner! This brush is so perfect! I love EVERYTHING about it. You can purchase it on the sigma's website like I did for $14. This has a 5 out of 5 rating because it's amazeballs!

Next up is the MAC blacktrack fluidline gel eyeliner.

I'm not going to say it's the best gel liner I have ever tried BUT I do love it. It doesn't smear, it stays on all day and it's super easy to apply, especially with the brush mentioned above. You can buy this at a MAC store or online like I did. It's $17.50 but it lasts forever!

Next up is another pretty cool brush. This one is a Sephora brand. The Pro Angled Shadow Brush#13

When I am in a hurry and want to throw on some definition in my crease and don't want to stress over the application I reach for this brush. It makes getting in the crease super easy and because it's fluffy it blends my eye shadow out beautifully! This can be purchased at Sephora online or in stores for $20 I actually got it for $11 on sale. Hurry and pick yours up, not sure how long the sale will last.

Next up is a fragrance from Givenchy: Amarige

This is a repurchase for me, this perfume will always be in my collection. I have a wonderful memories associated with this perfume. My aunt who passed away from cancer was the first one to introduce me to this fragrance and to give me my first bottle. It will forever remind me of her. I miss her so much!

Here are the notes about this perfume:

Amarige is the symbol of femininity, radiating and bursting with happiness, a zest for life and generosity. The Amarige woman is radiant and open-minded; her heart-felt joy is evident from her spontaneous, charming smile. Inspired by that very same woman this perfume contains a cheerful, tender and sensual flower bouquet (Gardenia, Mimosa, Precious woods).

It's a lovely scent and I would recommend it to everyone.

Last but certainly not least we have the GORGEOUS Ofra Liquid Lipstick in the shade Miami Fever This is a Colab with the beautiful Kathleen Lights on YouTube.

I  have been wearing this lipstick NON stop, literally! I love EVERYTHING about this liquid lipstick, the color is stunning, it last forever and it's not over drying on the lips!

I love how it looks on my complexion it's perfect guys. It is a limited edition so get yours before they are gone. I purchased mine on the Ofra website. 

Hope you enjoyed my favorites for this month, let me know if you have a post on your monthly favorites and I would love to check them out. 

Have a wonderful week.

Love,

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette Review

Hey guys, hope you had a great Labor Day weekend, I was fortunate enough to have the entire weekend plus yesterday off. I usually will post Monday's and Thursday's but I decided to take the day off completely.☺

So let's talk SMOKY palette.
This is my favorite Urban Decay palette yet. I have to admit I only own one other, the Naked2 (which isn't a favorite at all). This one however is thebomb.com!

I purchased this palette on sephora.com for $54. It includes 12 eye shadows and one dual ended brush. One side of the brush is a blending brush and the other end is a pencil brush.
Fill Weight: Eyeshadows: 12 x 1.3 g POIDS NET/NET WT. 12 x 0.05 oz

Nine of the shades in it are new High, Dirtysweet, Slanted, Dagger, Smolder, Password, Whiskey, Combust and Thirteen, and the other three, while not completely new, will be available again exclusively in the palette Radar, Armor and Black Market.

What you see is what you get: High (champagne shimmer w/micro-glitter), Dirtysweet (medium bronze), Radar (metallic taupe w/iridescent micro-glitter), Armor (metallic silver-taupe w/tonal sparkle), Slanted (light metallic gray), Dagger (medium charcoal w/micro-shimmer), Black Market (jet-black satin), Smolder (deep plum-taupe), Password (cool taupe matte), Whiskey (rich brown matte), Combust (soft pink-taupe) and Thirteen (light beige satin).

My thoughts!
I am obsessed with this palette, it is so beautiful. I can say it has quickly become a favorite in my life. here's the thing, you can create a ton of different looks. I've created full blown dark (traditional smokey eye looks) and lighter more simple eye looks.

Lets rate this palette.
Price: Typical for an Urban Decay and or high end makeup line palette.
Packaging: By far hands down the prettiest of any Naked palette out and Palette I own overall. It has a magnetic closure and it's perfection.
Longevity: These eye shadows last all day. I do use my Urban Decay Primer Potion eye shadow primer underneath them and they last the entire day without budging.
Quality: They are smooth and super easy to blend. Surprisingly they have very little to no fall out at all. This is a top notch palette with excellent quality shadows.
Overall rating: A+ I am sure you all could tell that would be my rating based on how I have been raving about it.

I wanted to share one of my looks (which by the way was my first time using this palette).

Well guys thank you so much for joining me today. I 100% recommend this product to all of you, this is a must have palette in all beauty lovers collection.

Well guys thank you as always for visiting me today. I hope you all have a fantastic week.

Much Love,
