This is the Dream Chaser Vanity Palette.

If you’re trying to simplify your makeup routine, a well-organized palette is always a smart way to go.  Instead of rooting through all your cosmetics, everything you need to beautify is in one place.  A good one for days that I am currently using is PUR Cosmetics Dream Chaser Vanity Palette.  

The color scheme is natural with more matte peachy shades in an enriched skin-beneficial formula that has green tea, ginseng and vitamins. You get four brown-toned eye shadows from deep chocolate, warmer red brown, burgundy to a cream beige, a fresh peach-pink blush, golden-tan bronzer, and a pale peach-cream illuminator for a nice mix of colors to work with.  The colors in this palette were so becoming for my fair to light, warm complexion. 

First row starting on the left is Aspire, Utopia, Good Intentions, and ending with Fantasy.
Bottom row from left to right is Illusion, Visionary and Driven.

Something that really appealed to me is the design of this palette.  You can open and pull up the mirror so it will stand upright to place on your vanity for a better view, which is fantastic for getting closer when doing the eyes. 

These cruelty-free, vegan and paraben free powders have a nice pigment to them, blend well and build wonderfully. I also liked how the darker eye shadows can double as eyeliners just by a change of a brush.

My advice if you are looking to save time in the morning, PUR Cosmetics Dream Chaser Vanity Palette ($36) is something you might want to pick up.  Check it out!

Mally Beauty Muted Muse Eyeshadow Palette Review

Muted Muse Palette is well thought out with two larger size shades of color that you use the most!

If you’re looking for an eyeshadow palette of polished neutrals, then let me tell you about one that I have been obsessed with lately from Mally Beauty with their new Muted Muse palette.  This great set has eight warm and cool tones from shimmer to matte shades that you’ll be smitten with because of how easy it is to wear every day.

The exciting part about this palette is the inclusion of two larger shades that you use most with a gleaming champagne highlight (Awakening) and easy to wear contour orange-toned brown color (Artistry).  Both compliment and work well with the six other shades that include Daydream (a pale pink shimmer), Insight (deep brown), Illumination (burnt orange), Inspire (a cool medium brown shimmer), Euphoria (matte plum), and Fancy (a plum-brown shimmer).

The shades have excellent pigmentation and the silky texture of the powder was wonderful for blending. You have so many options with this particular set that can keep your look fresh.

I really liked the shade selection and the thought behind adding two larger pans of the highlight and contour color to get even more use out of it.  Mally Beauty’s Muted Muse Eyeshadow Palette retails for ($29).  My advice is when you are in the market for new great palette of eyeshadow check this one out!

Mehron Precious Gem Powders

With all the holiday partying that is in your near future, you might want to add more sparkle and shine to your normal makeup, fitting this festive season.  Let me show you some quick ways from Mehron, a long-established brand known for their theatrical makeup and beauty products for movies and fashion, because when it comes to beautiful effects their Precious Gem Powders can be the solution for providing a luminescent jewel-like luster to wherever area you want!

These are highly pigmented, loose glowing powders that come in a shaker jar. I received three from the line in Black Onyx (smoky deep gray), Garnet (rusty-rose) and Topaz (golden glow).  

From left to right is  Black Onyx, Garnet with Topaz on the right.

These sparkling powders have a fine, silky consistency and blend well.  This trio did create a pretty eye, but it also was fun to play with the Garnet and Topaz on my cheeks.  However, if you do prefer to use these powders just on your eyes, then do prime your lids first to extend the wear.

Do visit the Mehron website and check their Precious Gem Powders line out.

IT Cosmetics Luxe High Performance Eyeshadow Trio (Pretty In Nudes) + “No-Tug” Heavenly Luxe Dual Eyeshadow Brush Review

This is the Pretty in Nude Luxe High Performance Eyeshadow Trio by IT Cosmetics

Smoky eyes for Fall 2014 will be softer with more muted tones of gray and beige to the brown to balance the stronger hue of deep, stained berry lips.  A wonderful way to start the season in style to achieve this look is with IT Cosmetics (Pretty in Nude) Luxe High Performance Eyeshadow Trio and their "No-Tug" Heavenly Luxe Dual Eyeshadow Brush for blending. 

The colors are a delicate beige-taupe, a pale peach, and a lighter pink that apply buttery-smooth due to IT Cosmetics revolutionary anti-aging formula with skin-loving ingredients that include vitamins, hydrolyzed collagen, green tea, and acai extracts that treat as well as provide gentle definition. 

There is a subtle gleam to the taupe and peach, but the pink only has a trace of this radiance that is very becoming in how this shadow can light up your eyes.

What else I love about IT Cosmetics shadows are they can wear for hours without creasing or fading.  In fact, I never felt the need to prime.

IT Cosmetics“No-Tug” Heavenly Luxe Dual Eyeshadow Brush

I do strongly encourage you to let IT Cosmetics help you shine this Fall with their Luxe High Performance Eyeshadow (Pretty in Nudes) Trio and No-Tug Heavenly Luxe Dual Eye Shadow Brush to pull it off.  Both retail for $24 each.  Find them online at IT Cosmetics, QVC, or Ulta.
