Lorac Nude Necessities Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Lorac Nude Necessities Eyeshadow Palette2

The Lorac Nude Necessities Eyeshadow Palette ($30) is a new Ulta Exclusive Lorac Eyeshadow Palette that launched for Spring 2016 which includes 12 gorgeous shades of nude. I’ll be honest, at one point in my makeup life particularly when I started Musings of a Muse I was so not in love with nude shades. But as I grow older I can’t get enough of them. So yeah, sure, I probably have 100 different variations of tan matte eyeshadows and about 1000 different golden browns but I don’t care, I love them all!

Now when the Lorac Nude Necessities Eyeshadow Palette launched you could imagine how delighted I was. I’ve been a long term supporter and fan of Lorac eyeshadow for over ten years. Lorac’s eyeshadow formula isn’t one everyone embraces. It’s very thin, very soft, very silky, and it blends beautifully on drier eyes (like mine!). Lorac doesn’t have the intensity Urban Decay, Too Faced, or other mid-range has but they do have an eyeshadow formula that’s easy to build, easy to apply, and looks incredible on eyes.

Although I have many Lorac Palettes already I was not averse to adding the Nude Necessities Eyeshadow Palette into my life.

Maybelline Baby Lips Balm Ball Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Baby Lips Balm Balls

Maybelline Baby Lips Balm Ball is a new hydrating lip balm that resembles the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush that launched last year. These new chubby little ball shaped balms are reminiscent of the very popular EOS Lip Balm Collection.

Funny as I recall either writing in my review or thinking to myself that Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush would have made a better lip balm rather than a blush and here we now have Baby Lips Balm Ball launching for Spring 2016.

Sneak Peek! NYX Ombre Blush

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

NYX Ombre Blushes

Available in 8 shades the new NYX Ombre Blush ($10) are delighting me at the moment. These were recently introduced with the NYX Spring 2016 Collection and feature a gradient design inspired by the current ombre trend. P.S. Wet n Wild Ombre Blush are also on the horizon for Spring!

I was a little worried about these as my last NYX HD Blush from last year wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience. But I got my Ombre Blushes in the mail yesterday and I was delighted how good they looked. Mind you I haven’t swatched them yet but so far things are looking good. The blushes are super vibrant and the ombre design is stunning to say the least.
