Remember those brilliant Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow Palettes? They appear to be back as this new Maybelline the City Mini Palette looks quite like the same soft, silky formula as the old Plush Silk ones. All I can say is, if they are, sign me up because I used to LOVE those palettes!

In past post, I’ve compared the formula on the Plush Silk Eyeshadow Quads to Japanese Eyeshadows which you likely no I’m obsessed with since I’m a fond fan of Asian beauty everything. They are also quite like the new Covergirl Tru Naked Eyeshadow Palettes. I’m just judging my opinion of the City Mini Palettes by eyeballing them alone from promo pictures but things are looking mighty promising from these images.

Here’s a look!

So, I saw Metallic last night and it was freaking off the charts awesome! But now I just want to crawl under my desk and take a nap. I’m going to be one of those people that says this was the best Metallic I ever been to when in reality it was probably as good as all the others. But yeah, there’s always that need to say, “Wow! That was the best concert I’ve ever been to!” when in reality it’s just my inner gushing fan girl.

Anyway, I’m a little slow going this week and I’m feeling a bit tucked out today. I’m under some stress due to work related rubbish but I’m hanging tight and can’t wait for the weekend to get here. Hope your week is going good! Any good plans for the weekend? Weather is looking up finally. It’s a beautiful 94 degrees today! Yup! 94! And last week I had my heat on! There’s irony here somewhere.

Just a heads up on more sales, they are never ending lately aren’t they?

Perricone MD is 60% off at hautelook.com not to mention the Balm is also on sale, as well as I Smell Great! And Mirenesse, my fav little brand from down under! Def have a look, you might score a deal or three. I admit I was looking through the Perricone stuff and Mirenesse! Guilty!

Happy Shopping!

Sadly, no sign of Lemon Aid but at least HSN.com still has it available 🙂

Happy Shopping!

Milani Color Harmony Blush Palette ($13) are a new hybrid powder blush that acts as a contour, highlighter, and blush compact all in one which launched in four selections late last month. It’s a refreshing change to see Milani venturing outside their Rose Powder Blush line which they tend to love intruding new or limited edition shades to in the Spring and Summer months. Not that I don’t love Rose Powder Blush mind you! It’s just nice to see something new pop up from the brand for Summer.

I’ve been busy pulling out all my glow-y and luminous blushes for the Summer months not to mention purchasing new ones because for some reason I’m obsessed with pretty glowing blushes for my warmer weather looks.

These Color Harmony Blush Palettes fit the bill perfectly so I purchased two of the four shades.

Here’s my review and swatches.

Let’s face it, when we think of inexpensive fragrance picks that are $20 bucks and under it just might take us back to our high school days when Baby Soft and Exclamation was the height of our fragrance sophistication. But I think there’s something terribly satisfying about paying under $20 for a perfume and actually loving how it smells. I consider myself a fragrance snob of a sort. I enjoy niche and indie perfumes as well as higher end that cost more than I care to admit or mention. But I’m willing to admit I also love a good deal.

I think searching out an inexpensive perfume can be a daunting task. I mean we have Bath & Body Works which has a wide array of fragrance mists that are quite inexpensive not to mention The Body Shop. But I find both rather repetitive in their launches. As a fragrance lover there’s something terribly satisfying about finding some new scent that’s super affordable yet smells wonderful! But it isn’t always easy to find these picks and as they say you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince!

That’s why I thought I’d share these 5 inexpensive under $20 fragrance picks!

Take a look!
