I’ve been mumbling to myself recently about Harmons having absolutely nothing new. I’ve been known to talk to myself occasionally particularly about my favorite topic, makeup. I figure, if I talk to myself it’s ok so long as I don’t start replying to myself.

Anyway, if you know anything about Harmon’s you know they have a really great selection of new drugstore makeup quite often but lately I walk in and of course, there is literally a mile long wide aisle with NYX, L’Oreal, Maybelline, etc…etc…BUT there’s sadly no new stuff.

It’s rather bleak, cold, and terribly lonely at Harmons lately.

I feel a gloomy cloud follows me around as I walk from aisle to aisle muttering about the lack of newness.

You know who else hasn’t had anything new in LIKE FOREVERS and EVERS? Avon!

Remember when Avon used to have fun makeup releases!?

the Balm is having a 50% off sale and it starts in 10 minutes (it’ll be for four hours only) in celebration of their new website which I just visited and all appears stable and a-ok so hopefully it’ll remain up and running during the sale.

No promo code is needed, just hop on over to thebalm.com (haha the balm dot com! Gets me every time!) pop your goodies in your cart and 50% will be deducted automatically with no exclusions.

I’m sad to say I don’t see their hair care around! I really wanted to stock up on their leave in conditioner. I obviously haven’t been paying attention as it appears discontinued.

Sad sigh!

Happy Shopping!

A friend of mine gifted me with a $35 package of Chanel Papier Matificant de Chanel recently. Dude, these are probably my most expensive blotting papers evers!

I feel terribly fancy!

That’s the thing about makeup and beauty right? Sometimes it can just make you feel pretty even if you aren’t wearing it on your face!

How about you?

What beauty product have you purchased recently that really made you feel good? Or even pretty?

Do share!

P.S. I’ll probably never used these blotting sheets! They are just too pretty for use. I’ll just keep them in my purse and occasionally take them out to maybe stroke them or whisper to them how pretty they are!

We’ve been inundated with eyeshadow palettes a plenty this season! I’m actually an eyeshadow palette kind of girl myself. For example, some men or women like long legs, some of ’em like blond hair, etc….when you’re a makeup lover the same holds true, you’re either an eyeshadow kinda girl or guy, perhaps you love lipsticks, or maybe blushes are what does it for you!

Me? I love the thrill of opening up a giant palette filled with a variety of eyeshadow shades. There’s nothing more exciting than being presented with a slew of different eyeshadow options. Granted, at this point in my makeup life I have about 2 million eyeshadow palettes but the thrill of getting a new one is always a feeling I relish.

But, there are always one that disappointing.

Here are 5 popular eyeshadow palettes that failed to impress me recently.
