I’ve been working on my Lorac Pro Palette review for what feels like ages! I have had it for about 3-4 months now & wanted a well rounded view. I have a lot of neutral palettes but I got a request to compare it to the Urban Decay original Naked palette & The Balm Nude ‘Tude palette. So since I’ll be posting my Lorac Pro Palette review soon I thought I’d put up this post now! Keep reading for side by side comparisons!
For this post, I’m going to compare each palette to the Lorac Pro palette just in case you’re looking for something specific. Prices are similar, the Urban Decay Naked Palette retails for $50.00 , The Balm Nude ‘Tude Palette retails for $36.00, & the Lorac Pro Palette retails for $42.00. [Read more…]

When it comes to eyeshadows from the drugstore, the Maybelline Color Tattoos are easily some of my favorites. I wear them as eyeshadow bases nearly day to day & also wear them on their own. When I heard they were coming out with pigments…I was ecstatic. I LOVE pigments! These are the first true mainstream/drugstore pigments I’ve tried that weren’t some form of sheer. After reading some reviews I picked up 7 shades. I have since picked up all but one! Keep reading to see my swatches & thoughts! [Read more…]

Maybelline has come out with new Color Tattoos so you know I had to run out & pick them up! I’ll be showing 5 from the new display soon but first I wanted to show #10 Precious Pearl. I love neutral bases & these Maybelline Color Tattoos make the perfect eyeshadow or shadow base for me! Comparisons can be so helpful with cream eyeshadows don’t you think? I also decided to show this shade next to #100 Barely Beige & #70 Barely Branded for reference. Keep reading to see more! [Read more…]
