July Birchbox

I think the box this month is really cool looking!

This is what the card says. "Summer is not the time to hold back. It's the season of wearing brights on brights on brights, driving with the windows down, and eating popsicles for breakfast. Accordingly, what better time to dial up your beauty routine a notch (or three)? Don't worry, we'll be bringing you inspiration all month long."

1. clariSEA Rapid Detox Charcoal Exfoliant: "Made with sea salt scorched bamboo, this all-natural scrub battles blackheads and oil. Tip! Mix a dollop of scrub with water in your palm. Gently massage onto face, then rinse." I am interested to try this. I do have blackheads. I hope it isn't too harsh for the face.

2. Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique: "Bonus! We've added in this leave-in treatment from Kerastase to repair and protect hair." On the back it says, "Heat-activated reconstructing milk for damaged, brittle hair - for use with styling irons or hairdryers. Do not rinse." I don't know if I really need this, but I might try it.

3. MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50: "This hydroallergenic formula fights signs of agin, blocks UVA and UVB rays, and has a silky finish." I like that this has SPF 50!

4. Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream SPF 35: "Next-generation SPF 35 CC cream that triple protects against UVA, UVB, and infrared-A rays." I've never tried CC cream. I'm curious to try it. It is light/medium. It might be a little too dark for my skin.

5. Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume: "This allergen-free, minimalist scent has a single note: elegant, spicy Cetalox." I like the way this smells!

6. stila look at me liquid lipstick trio in the color venizia: "This creamy formula glides on like a gloss yet lasts (and lasts and lasts) like a stain. Tip! Learn all about how to use your stay all day liquid lipstick at Birchbox.com/stila." This reminds me of my NYX liquid lipsticks. It looks like a lip gloss, but it is thicker and more opaque. It is a bright red.

I thought this box was better than the IPSY July Bag. My favorite thing was the Stila Liquid Lipstick.

Stila Best of Kitten Set Looks

I found this in the sale section of Sephora's website during the holiday season. I got it for $29, and it has an $82 value. I love Stila's Kitten eye shadow, and I found myself wearing this anytime I was trying to throw a look together. This kit comes with the Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid in Kitten, Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Angel Fish, the Stila Eye Shadow in Kitten, and Stila's Lip Glaze in Kitten. It also comes with a really pretty makeup bag.

I wanted to find more looks using Stila's Kitten Eye Shadow and the other items that came in the bag. I just found looks for the eye shadow and the shimmer liquid. These are the looks I liked.

The skin has a nice glow. There are a lot of looks by cosmetic couturier using the Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid in Kitten. I'm just doing a few looks.

February Favorites!

My Favorite Book: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater: I read this book very, very slowly, during my breaks at work. It is a sweet love story about a girl and a boy that turns into a wolf when it is cold. They are star crossed lovers. It is the first book in a trilogy.

Beauty Favorites

1. Neutrogena Shine Control Primer

After using Benefit Porefessional, I had this primer. I didn't like it in the Summertime because it didn't help with my oil. Now that it is Winter my skin is drier, and it works a lot better. So I recommend this.

2. Lush The Kiss Lip Balm

I got this for Valentine's Day from Lush. It is a nice smelling, nice feeling lip balm. I wore it when my lips felt chapped. It was limited edition just for the holiday.

3. Lush Prince Charming Shower Gel

Oh, I just love this stuff! It smells so good. It smells the most like grapefruit. It is a citrusy smell. It helps to wake you up and energize you. It leaves the skin so soft, I didn't need to put lotion on afterwards. It was also limited edition for Valentine's Day.

4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach

This is a beautiful, pigmented, peach lip gloss from the drugstore. It feels so good on the lips. I think it looks good with my coloring.

5. Stila In the Moment Palette

This is one of my favorite palettes. It has purples and neutrals, which I love. I did a blog post about it this month, so I was using it a lot. I really recommend these Stila palettes. They are great quality.

6. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray

I got this off of Hautelook.com. I got the All Nighter Setting Spray too. I can't tell the difference between the two. They both help make my makeup last. I heard of a trick by LolaMarie on Youtube. You spray your face first, then dot on foundation, then you spray your brush and blend in the foundation. This makes your face look really natural and the makeup lasts. That is what I did with this.

7. Crown Brush Palette 36 Color Leopard Print Neutral

This month I was obsessed with duping the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I got the Crown Brush Palette off of Ebay. The third row, 5th color in is a dupe for Limit, which I used a lot this month. I found out about it from Diva Makeup Queen on Youtube. I did a blog post on the dupes for the Naked 3 palette this month. It is a light dusty rose, matte shadow.

8. Lorac Pro Palette

This is a very beautiful palette. The top row is matte and the bottom row is shimmery. I have heard so many talk about this palette on Youtube. Everyone is in love with it. I just wanted it to dupe one of the shadows for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. It is Mauve. It is the top row, 5th color in. It is a duper for Nooner, which is a medium pinky-brown mauve that is matte. It has great pigmentation. I need to use this palette more because there are so many looks I could create with it. I may do a blog post devoted to this palette alone.

9. Thayers Alcohol-Free Toner in Rose Petal Witch Hazel

I think I heard about this from pinksofoxy on Youtube. I just started using it this month. It is a good toner. It smells like roses. I think it does a good job of getting off any residue or makeup left over from cleansing. It is gentle on the face too.

10. Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Parfait

I heard this was a dupe for NARS Turkish Delight Lip Gloss. It took me forever to find it. Finally, I found a kit of four different Bonnebell Lip Glosses, with this inside. It smells like strawberries. It is the perfect pink lip gloss. I love it!

I hoped you enjoyed my favorites of the month! What were your favorites this month?

Stila In the Moment Palette Looks

I'm really excited to have this palette! I already had Stila's In the Light palette, and I really fell in love with it. I don't know why people don't talk about it so much. I started finding out about the other palettes, and they were getting good reviews. For Christmas I got a gift certificate to Sephora, so I decided to get Stila's In the Moment palette because I really like these palettes, and I saw swatches of the palette. I love purples, and it comes with beautiful neutrals. I read somewhere that this was a good palette for someone with green or hazel eyes. I also like the names of the eye shadows. You will see what they are soon enough. On the palettes it is so cute because for example, In the Light palette has little stars, In the Garden has little flowers, and In the Moment has little hearts. I love little details like that.

First, I'm going to tell you what looks were in the look book that came with the palette, and tell you what I thought about the looks. Then I will tell you looks I liked that I found on Youtube. I'll try to describe everything for you.

These are the other products I used.

Concealer: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Radiant, Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener, Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover in Extra Fair
Eyeshadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional Primer, Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent, Elf High Definition Powder in Corrective Yellow
Lip Balm: Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched, Lush The Kiss
Brown Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Brown
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
Setting Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter Spray, Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray
Black Eye Liner: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black

These are the looks from the look book.

1. Wide Eyed Wonder
a. Apply Wonder from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Wonder to lid. I used Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray. You can use MAC Fix Plus, Elf Setting Spray, or water.
c. Apply Whim to the crease and outside corner.
d. Apply Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to the upper and lower lash lines. (This liner came with the palette.)
My Thoughts: Since this look is mainly brown on the eye, I wanted to use pink on the cheeks and lips. For blush I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink. On the lips I used Revlon Pink in the Afternoon lipstick, and Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Head Turner. Wonder is a peachy brown shade. Whim is a beautiful warm golden brown. The eye liner, Tetra, is a deep shimmery purple, but it looks almost black to me. This is an every day, wearable type of look.

2. Purple Dream
a. Apply Instinct from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Impulse to lid.
c. Apply Glance along the crease and blend.
d. Wet brush and apply Glance to the lower lash line.
My Thoughts: The purple eye shadows aren't that pigmented. That is ok because it still looks pretty on the lid, and it is easy to blend out. To wet the brush I used Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. You could use water, MAC Fix Plus, or Elf's Setting Spray. Since the eyes are cool, I wanted to use a peach blush and lip gloss. For blush I used Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. For lip gloss I used Buxom Creamsicle. I like this look.

3. Sophisticated Stare
a. Apply Desire from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Captivate to lid.
c. Apply Catalyst on the upper lash line to crease and blend.
d. Apply Catalyst to the lower lash line.
My Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was to dark on the eyes.

4. Midnight Magic
a. Apply Impulse from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Glance to lid and lower lash line.
c. Apply Improvise to crease.
d. Apply a thin layer of Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to the upper lash line.
My Thoughts: This is a pretty purple look. I think purple goes well with peach, so I wore Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, The Balm Cindy Lou Manizer as a highlight, and Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach.

5. Captivating Eye
a. Apply Spontaneous from lash line to brow bone.
b. Wet brush and apply Whim to lid.
c. Apply Captivate to the outside corner of the eye creating a "v" shape.
d. Wet brush and apply Catalyst to the upper and lower lash line creating a smoky finish.
My Thoughts: This does make your eyes look captivating! It is very flattering. To wet brush you can use water, Elf Setting Spray, or an Urban Decay Setting Spray. Some people lick their brush! Since the eyes were warm, I decided to use a cool toned blush and lip gloss. For blush I used Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed, a pretty pink. For lip gloss I used Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Shortcake. This is a light, barely there pink lip gloss. I thought that was good because it didn't take attention away from the eyes. For highlight I used The Balm Cindy Lou Manizer because I'm currently obsessed with it.

6. Smoky Stare
a. Apply Instinct from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Improvise to the lid and crease.
c. Apply Catalyst to the upper and lower lash lines and layer for a smoky effect.
d. Apply Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra to lash line carefully extending the line up a bit past the eye.
My Thoughts: The eye liner is weird. At first I thought it wouldn't twist up, but today I got it to twist up. I guess you have to keep on twisting it until it works. This is a dark purple smoky eye. Catalyst I think is a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 3 Blackheart. It looks black with red shimmer. I wore Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed and Bonnebell Lip Lites in Strawberry Shortcake.

These are looks on Youtube I found that I liked using Stila's In the Moment Palette.

January Favorites!

I don't have any new TV or movie favorites this month. I'm still watching the same shows I already talked about.

I have some new hair products I've been loving. I got inspired by PiinkSparkles blow drying routine video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4XwzVw67QI. She has long, healthy hair, so I got a couple of things she mentioned in her video, and I've been drying my hair the same way as her. I think my hair has been looking healthy.

1. Herbal Essences Rose Shampoo and Conditioner: I used to use this back when I was in high school! I loved it then, and I still love it. It makes my hair have lots of volume, and the smell is of roses.

2. Label M Protein Spray: I never knew that you lose protein in your hair when you brush it, get it wet, or use heat on it. It is good to spray the protein back into the hair. I found this from a store online. I learned about it from PiinkSparkles video. After you towel dry your hair, you spray this in and after you blow dry, you spray it in.

3. Organix Coconut Milk Split Ends Mender: Before you blow dry your hair you put this on the ends of your hair. It has coconut milk, whipped egg white proteins, and coconut oils to help nourish the hair and give strength.

4. Elf High Definition Powder in Corrective Yellow: I heard this was a dupe for the banana powder the Kim Kardashian uses under her eyes. I don't think it is a dupe, but it is a finely milled powder that works great. I was putting it under my eyes, but I found it worked good all over the face. It is in yellow to correct redness on the face. If you put to much powder on you can spray your face with the Elf Setting Spray, and that will get rid of any extra powder.

5. Elf Powder Brush: I like to use this brush with the powder. It is only $3. Elf isn't very expensive.

6. Tweezerman Eye Lash Curler: I always use this, but I've never put it in a favorite. You can get this at the drugstore. It works the best on my eyes and lashes. It fits nicely, and does the curl. It is also inexpensive.

7. Stila In the Garden Palette: I've been playing with this palette a lot this month. It has some really pretty shades in it. I like these Stila palettes. I plan on doing more blog posts with them.

8. L'Oreal Colour Riche Gold Dust Textured Nail Polish in Too Dimensional: My friend said this looked to her like A Starry Night by Van Gogh. It has that same blue that is in the painting and large flecks of gold glitter. I saw this on someone's blog and I went out to go get it. It's in the limited edition collection.

9. Essie Nail Lacquer in Hors d'Oeuvres: This is a beautiful glittery nail with flecks of silver and gold. I don't have any other nail polish like it. I saw someone with this nail polish and I thought it looked really pretty. This is from a limited edition collection too.

10. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Pout: I have mentioned this in the yearly favorites, but never in a monthly post. This is a matte light pink color. I heard it is a dupe for MAC's Angel.

11. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black: This goes on the waterline, and is a pencil you can sharpen. I like that better than the twist up kind. You can smudge it out, too.

12. Benefit Watt's Up: This is a pretty, golden, champagne cream highlighter. It's a sample size. It looks like a natural highlight for the face.

Stila In the Garden Palette Looks

I got this palette for my birthday in September! I am just now starting to play with it. I have already done a post on Stila In the Light palette. That palette is so beautiful. I reach for it whenever I don't know what look to do. I know I can count on beautiful shades that inspire me. I have a feeling my In the Garden palette will be the same.

I like this palette because it came with a look book. It has six looks in it. I also found looks on Youtube that I like, so I will include those as well.

If you want to see swatches of these eyeshadows this is a good blog post: http://www.scrangie.com/2012/02/stila-in-garden-eye-shadow-palette.html

These are the products I used for just about each look.

Eyeshadow Primer: Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash (top lashes), Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof in Very Black (bottom lashes)
Face Primer: Benefit Porefessional Primer
Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in Ivory
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent, Elf High Definition Powder in Corrective Yellow
Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener
Black Liquid Liner: Jordana Incolor Fabuliner Liquid Eye Liner in Black

These are the looks that came with the palette. I will say what the looks are, what I added, and then my overall opinion.

1. Captivating Eye
a. Apply Chinois to lid and blend to brow bone.
b. Apply Honey to lid and crease.
c. Apply Moss to lash line and diffuse. I used a pencil brush and smudged it to my top lashes.
d. Apply Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Starfish to upper lash line and outside corner of bottom lash line. This eye liner came with the palette.
I consider this a warm eye because of the gold, so I use cool tones for the cheeks and lips.
e. Blush: Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink
f. Lips: NYX Lip Gloss in Beige (This is really a pink, not a beige color.)
My Thoughts: I think this is a beautiful look. Chinois is a matte creamy white that blended into my skin tone. It made a good base. Honey is a gold color on the lid. It has good pigmentation. Moss is a dark olive green with shimmer. It looked good going over the gold. Stila Eye Liner in Starfish is a rich black with green and gold sparkle. This is an easy look to do.

2. Garden Soiree
a. Apply Nectar to crease and blend upwards.
b. Apply Sage to lid and blend into crease.
c. Apply Moss to lid.
d. Wet brush and apply Juniper to upper and lower lash lines. You could use water, MAC Fix Plus, Elf Setting Spray, or and Urban Decay Setting Spray. I used Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray.
My Thoughts: This is a green eye look. I think it looks good with my coloring. I think green looks good with hazel eyes and red hair. Since green is a cool color, I chose to wear a peach blush and lip gloss. For blush I chose my favorite: Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. For lip gloss I chose another of my favorites: Buxom Lip Gloss in Creamsicle. It turned out to be a really pretty look.

3. Simply Romantic
a. Apply Chinois from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Breeze all over lid and blend upwards.
c. Apply Bark to crease and blend to contour.
d. Apply a thin layer of Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Starfish to upper lash line. (The liner comes with the palette.)
My Thoughts: This looks like a light green, day time look. There is nothing on the lower lash line. Since the eyes are cool toned, I wore a warm toned blush and lipstick. For blush I wore Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Warm. For the lips I wore Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Luna. I think it does look romantic.

4. Enchanted Eye
a. Apply Chinois to brow bone.
b. Apply Breeze to crease and blend.
c. Apply Rosette to lash line, lid and blend.
d. Apply Freesia to lash line and contour towards crease.
My Thoughts: This look is dark pink and purple. Again, there is nothing on the lower lash line, so it makes it seem like a day time look to me. The eyes are cool toned, so I wore a warm toned blush and lipstick. For blush again I wore Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Warm. It's one of my favorite blushes. For the lips I wore Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Candied Coral. This is really bright. I wasn't sure I would like pink on the eye, but the blue/purple color helps make it more wearable to me.

5. Shimmer & Glow
a. Apply Nectar from lash line to brow bone.
b. Apply Honey from lash line to lid, blending up into the crease.
c. Gently apply Breeze to the center of the lid.
d. Apply Moss to the lash line and blend out.
My Thoughts: This is a golden eye look, with dark green on the lash line. I wore a pink blush and lip color with this. I wore Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink. For the lips I wore L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinary Lip Color in Rose Melody. This is a hybrid between a lip gloss and lipstick. It feels really good on the lips. It's a pretty color too.

6. Eye Catching
a. Apply Nectar from crease to brow bone.
b. Apply Breeze from lash line to lid and blend.
c. Apply Bark to crease and outer corner of eye.
d. Wet liner brush and apply Freesia to lash line, carefully extending the line past up the eye.
My Thoughts: This is the only look in the look book I didn't like very much. It's not terrible. I don't like the blue liner color. I don't think it goes with the other shadows on the lid. I think there were cool colors on the eye, so I wore Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Warm on the cheeks. I didn't do warm on the lips because I wasn't thinking. I just like the lips I wore the other day, L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinary Lip Color in Rose Melody. This look is just ok to me.

These are the looks I found on Youtube that I liked.

The lip gloss is Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Pango. The eyes are green with gold in the crease. It is a very simple look to do. The gold and green look good together.

b. Hard Candy Eye Shadow Duo in Peace, champagne color as highlight on top of cheekbones: Benefit Watt's Up!
c. Jordana Lip Liner in Tawny
d. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brûlée
e. NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Baby Rose: I skipped this step because Creme Brulee is glossy on its own.
My Thoughts: At first I felt like I wasn't doing it right because I wasn't watching the video while I did the look. I felt like there were too many colors on the eye. I felt like a clown. Then I went in and made some fixes. Make sure the lower lash line is thin. I used makeup remover and a q-tip to thin the line. It doesn't look good with a thick line of blue under half the eye. Blend out the honey in the tear duct. This was my first time using Hard Candy Fox in a Box Spicy & Sweet. It is very pigmented, so wipe off your brush. It is very beautiful. I would say it's a bright pinky peach color. The eyes are very colorful, and the lips are nude. When I was done with the makeup I liked it. It's a different look for me, so at first I didn't know what to think. You have to have enough time to put it on. There are a lot of steps, but it wasn't hard. It just takes a while.

Overall, I love this palette! The thing I didn't like was the eye liner that comes with it. I might have gotten a bad one because it doesn't twist up! I only used it a few times, but I'm going to have to throw it away because it's a flat top now, and can't be used. I really liked the color of it. I hope the eyeliners in the other palettes aren't that way. I wish it was able to sharpen.

Perfect Palette TAG

I thought this was an interesting tag when I saw people do this on Youtube. I wanted to do it too. I first saw emilynoel83 do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNBdcg1iXkg and then I saw vintageortacky do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M9_6hRrFuY. These are people that review a lot of makeup palettes and own a lot of them, so they have a good idea of what are the good palettes out there.

1. Best Packaging

Sephora Cinderella Palette has beautiful packaging. I love the artwork on it. You can take off the eyeshadows and inside is a velvet drawer where you can put jewelry or whatever you want in it.

Also, I agree with emilynoel83 that The Balm Rockstar Palette has good packaging because there is a little flap that goes over the lip and cheek cream products so the shadow doesn't fall into it.

2. Best Color Payoff

I think my most pigmented palettes are my Urban Decay ones. The first one is Mariposa, then Ammo, and last the Deluxe Shadow Box. I didn't use any primer on my arm. The colors are just so bright and beautiful. Before owning Urban Decay I didn't realize how pigmented eye shadows could really be.

3. Most Versatile

My Elf Beach Palette has 2 blushes, 2 bronzers, 16 eyeshadows and 8 lipsticks. It comes in this little palette too. The makeup is good quality. Sometimes Elf makeup can not be that good, but this is a good palette.

4. Best for Traveling

This is my Wet 'n Wild Walking on Eggshells palette. It is just a trio size, so it is small enough to be good for traveling. I like the colors because they are neutral and every day wearable.

5. Biggest Regret

I was really excited last year when these palettes were out during Halloween. They are the Elf Villain palettes. The makeup in them isn't very good. I don't use them, and when I do I'm disappointed. I will try to use something and end up putting a different product on top that is better quality. I think it is a cute idea, though.

6. Best Color Names

This is hard for me to choose because a lot of my palettes have great names.

Elf Maleficent Palette: Spindle, Sceptre, Fog of Doom, Fauna, Misfortune, Forest of Thorns, Deep Sleep, and Diablo

Elf Evil Queen Palette: One Bite, Vanity, Narcissistic, Potion, Fairest of the Land, Majesty, Peddler's Cloak, Poison Apple

Elf Cruella Palette: Puppy Love, Coat of Dreams, Cruelty, Sewage, Spotted, Maniac, Little Beasts, Extinction

Sephora Cinderella Palette: Maiden, All Aglow, Destined, Cinderelly, Pumpkin Coach, Ball Gown, Kill Joy, Fairy Godmother, Glass Slipper, Royal, Gus Gus, Charming, Chateau, Palace, Drizella, Cinders, Jaq, Midnight, A Wish, Rococo

The Balm Rockstar Palette: Metal-ica, Iron Maid-in, Lead Zeppelin, Alice Copper, Adagio, Allegro, Moderato, Presto, Blink 1982, The Stroke, REM, Third Eye Blinded, Solid Gold, Don't You Want Me? Milly and Vanilly

The Balm Nude'tude Palette: Sassy, Stubborn, Selfish, Sophisticated, Sexy, Serious, Snobby, Stand-offish, Sultry, Seductive, Silly, and Sleek

Too Faced The Return of Sexy Palette: Naive, Ingenue, Innocent, New In Town, Casting Couch, Pink Diamond, Icon, Divorcee, Hopeless Romantic, Primadonna, 7 Year Itch, Bombshell, Hollywood, Maneater, Beautymark

7. Least Used

My least used is Stila In the Garden Palette. I want to do a blog post on this, and try out the looks from the book that comes with it and looks I find that I like on Youtube. Right now I have been focusing on Fall looks and after that I will focus on Holiday looks, and then Winter looks. Pretty soon the seasonal looks will die down, and I will have time to focus on this palette. It looks like a good palette.

8. Most Used

My most used palette is Wet 'n Wild Vanity. I use it to copy looks all the time. I'm always using it to dupe other, more expensive shadows. If you look at my posts about copying looks I'm always mentioning this palette. The left side is matte and the right side is shimmery. It's a really handy palette.

9. Most Loved

My most loved palette right now is Stila In the Light Palette. When I'm not trying out a look for my blog, and I am just putting my makeup on, I use this palette because it is so pretty and natural looking. It makes me feel like I'm naturally pretty. I love the Stila Kitten eyeshadow to put on my lid, and one of the matte browns in my crease. When I don't know what to wear, I take this palette out. That's why I'm excited to focus on my Stila In the Garden Palette because I think I'm going to like it just like I like this one.

10. Desert Island

It's hard for me to choose just one. I think I would choose one that has lip and blush colors in it too, like my Elf Beach Palette or my Elf Clutch Palette. The Elf Clutch palette comes with 64 eyeshadows, 1 bronzer, 2 blushes, 1 highlighter, 6 lip glosses, an eyebrow powder and an eyebrow cream.

This was a fun tag to do. I tag you to do it if you have a blog or a Youtube channel.
