As I Suspected, No Glow from Kevyn Aucoin’s New Blush
I ordered Kevyn Aucoin’s new Pure Powder Glow Blush but there’s no glow.
Just as a suspected and feared!
Sadness!
You might have been hearing some buzz about the new Rodial Blusher, and everything you’ve heard is likely true. You can go ahead and add this little blusher onto my awesome list as I’m currently in love with.
When I first got my hands on this little compact, I instantly flashed back to 2009 and the days of Rock and Republic Blush. At the moment said blush goes for $100 and upwards on Evil-Bay, but I remember when it was 50% off, and I’m sad to say I didn’t purchase a single shade at the time. What was I thinking!?
But I digress, this post is about my love of Rodial Blusher!

The Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass Eyeshadow Palette ($60) launches on May 1st to coincide with Disney’s sequel to Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass that will be in theaters May 27th. Urban Decay has teamed up with Disney on three separate occasions to create palettes inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Oz the Great and Powerful. So, Urban Decay is absolutely no stranger to creating whimsical packaging and bright, vibrant colors to do Wonderland justice.
It’s a funny thing about the Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass Eyeshadow, as this takes us back to some of Urban Decay’s first larger Book of Shadows Palettes. Many of the new Vice Palettes and even the Glinda and Theodora Palettes all have newer more modern packaging that’s either plastic or metal. With this palette, we take a step back into Urban Decay’s past as it is cardboard and is fairly larger and bulky. You’re either going to adore this little nod to the past, or you’re going to hate it as a minimalist.
As an avid collector of makeup and an Urban Decay fan, I love it. It’s just what UD is known for! It also happens to make me smile. As someone who is running out of ways to store my massive makeup stash, well, that’s when I think to myself, “God, this is huge! Where am I going to put this?! And ugh, I can’t travel with it!” So, the packaging is a double edged sword.
One can hope the new Wet n Wild Au Naturel Eyeshadow Palettes ($5.62) aren’t as bad as the ombre blushes that Wet n Wild launched earlier this Spring. I’ve had so many people e-mail to say, “Just don’t! Don’t do it!” So yeah, I avoided the blushes like the plague!
But these new Au Natural Eyeshadow Palettes might just tempt me.
There are two palettes available one of which contains all rose hued nudes and it’s called Nude Awaiting. The second palette contains is a warm, nude palette with browns, golds, and creams called Bare Necessities.
I’m actually really loving the rose hued palette as the shades look quite deep with some very nice cranberries!
What do you think of these?
I’m going to give the a try I think!
The Wet n Wild Au Natural Eyeshadow Palettes are available exclusively at Walmart and Walmart.com.
The Urban Decay Naked Vault Volume II is back in stock AGAIN at Sephora.com for those who missed it when it popped up last week on UD’s website!

Enjoy!
Happy Shopping!
