For $3 bucks I admit I pretty much dig all over the E.L.F. Studio Blushes plus they come in a plastic compact so no grossness like the NARS rubber compacts (WTH? Hasn’t NARS realized that these compacts suck? For $27, please new packaging guys).

Let’s take a peek at these new shades.

Yay! This weekend (Sunday) you’ll be able to purchase the new PixiGlow Collection at Target.com. What will you be hauling from the collection? Any must haves?

I thought the palette was a total keeper and I love the lip tint!

And let’s not forget the Till Morning Liner!

Kate Somerville Clinic-To-Go Resurfacing Peel Pads Review

Since I’m perfectly happy with my Philosophy Miracle Worker nightly regime I wasn’t really interested in adding an AHA serum to the mix. I want smoother, brighter skin and all the Miracle Worker products do just that for me but I also wanted to refine my skin so drier areas were smoother plus I wanted to address minor hyper pigmentation I have on my lower jawline.

So I recently indulged in the Kate Somerville Clinic-To-Go Resurfacing Peel Pads. I generally like Kate’s products and I was quite excited to add these to my regime.

Take a look!

Ah Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks! So beautiful but so challenging for me to use. I’m very heavy handed so I tend to over do highlighters plus having a rounder face I never really know exactly where to put these. I normally smile really big and bounce my blush brush on the apples of my cheeks. Probably the completely wrong technique for blush and highlighter application but I’m no expert!

But…there’s just something about Shimmer Bricks. I feel like I NEED to collect every single one that comes out and of course the new Shimmer Bricks released with the Rose Gold Collection are just stunning.
