I really wanted to save this palette until I had used it quite a bit- & now I have! This Smashbox palette here is one that is my absolute go-to for travel so when I saw this…well it was basically made for me! I love palettes like this for when I am in a hurry or, like I said, traveling! I did have one mishap- I lost the brush somehow! Sorry about that! You can see more information on this double-ended brush here. I have several brushes from Smashbox that I love so I’m sure this one is fab too. Anyway- enough rambling! Let’s get into the review!

Sleek Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette in Light Swatches, Review, & Demo
In anticipation of travel, I’ve been trying to sift through new & standby products for more compact face options. I recently made a huge Sleek order & picked up a lot of palettes…including the one I want to chat about today!
One of the items I most wanted to try was the Sleek Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette in Light. I had seen someone say that the shade “Fair” had a blush that barely showed up so “Light” was the next option for my pale skin. [Read more…]
Maybelline Master Hi-Light Blushes & Bronzers Full Swatches & Review
Drugstore crazes come in waves & often I am the first to run out & grab new items. Maybelline has released some of my favorites- I have pages & pages of reviews. Because I bought all of this line, I actually decided to take a long time to get my thoughts together. & I have lots of opinions!
The Maybelline Master Hi-Light Powdered products fall into either the blush or bronzer category. I believe there have been a few limited edition releases but there are 6 total in the permanent range. Two of these are bronzers while the other four are blushes. They are all housed in the same compacts & none are all that similar. [Read more…]
Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Tin Palette for Holiday 2014 Swatches & Review
I bought it. Affiliate links.
Benefit is known for a lot of things but the first that pops into my mind are blushes. Their boxed blushes are both iconic & super cute- like a small girly accessory. I steered clear of the boxed blushes for a long time until my husband bought me Benefit’s Rockateur & I totally fell in love. I recently picked up two more blushes that I will review soon but that won’t be half as exciting as this palette. If you love cute packaging & want more bang for your buck then Benefit’s Cheeky Sweet Spot Palette which has been released for Holiday 2014 is definitely a must have. With 5 permanent blushes, a bronzer, a cream highlighter, a brush, & an adorable tin…well it is a steal. [Read more…]

I bought it. Referral link.
It has been awhile since I showed a Birchbox here because they haven’t been all that exciting. I’ve just been kind of…paying for the service. Which is awful to say but it is true. I told myself if I was going to continue being subscribed then I needed to start making blog posts about it again- because I really do like their points program. A lot.
