Stila Pro Artist Palette No. 1

So this all started when my friend X told me about her love for Stila's Kitten. Now, please know two things: X is fairer than fair, and X complains about everything; so when she couldn't stop raving about this eyeshadow I thought to myself, ok well this I gotta try. So I've been casually swatching it ever Sephora trip, and watching it on cosmetic whole sale sites, and then finally... I saw on Sara's blog a reasonaly priced palette (artist inspiration palette) which included Kitten. I was sold!

I mosied on over to sephora.com and found *gasp* this way cooler palette for only $4 more! cha-ching!







Love, Liz xoxo

NYX Nude on Nude Palette

Hello! and welcome two weeks into the new year!

Back to the NYX Thanksgiving Haul, this is my favorite little treasure:

NYX Nude on Nude Palette







The colors are so pretty, so neutral and really come in several finishes in one tiny little package. What a perfect travel buddy!



So the top three are a matte finish - a creamy color which reminds me of the light color of NARS India Song duo, a dusty or a watered down espresso.

The first two of the middle three and the first two of the last three are a satin finish and are so pretty and neutral but it really makes me think it's more pinky than goldy-tan palette (at least for those 4)

The last of the two are a frost finish with super fine gold bits in a (terrifyingly close) dusty espresso and a milk chocolate.



It also comes with two pink highly saturated glosses. The first is a pearly dusty rose and the second a flirty barbie pink gloss. They're both pretty and very wearable and layerable.



But I gotta say - this little fucker is tiny! I mean it is SO SMALL! I truley thought it would be at least a half size bigger. But that's ok, I have so many shadows and palettes that this is just a perfect size afterall.
