I Got the Naked Palette!

I finally got my hands on the coveted Urban Decay Naked Palette!  I have been lusting after this palette for months now and finally found it in stock at Ulta.  I think this is going to live up to the hype.  I swatched some of the colors; and they are just gorgeous.  Time to go play with my new beauty toys!

Yummy Bodywash

Softsoap Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel body wash

The Softsoap Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel body wash is a scent that I keep going back to after trying a new body wash and being unimpressed.  For me this is a nostalgic fragrance that reminds me of these soap crayons I used to draw on the shower walls with at bath time as a child.  I do not know what honeysuckle smells like; and, it doesn't smell orangey to me either.  It is simply a wonderfully indescribable fragrance!  Aside from the scent, this is just your basic body wash; it lathers nicely and gets me clean.

Physicians Formula Baked Eyeshadows

Physicians Formula Baked Collection eye shadows in Baked Oatmeal

 

This Physicians Formula eye shadow trio in Baked Oatmeal is my favorite for a quick and easy eye look.  I have repurchased this item several times.  Every time I use it, I remember why I love it so much.  The colors are very shimmery and blend nicely to create an everyday wearable eye look.  I highly recommend this trio for the girl on the go!

Beautiful Twists

Sexy Librarian Lip Conditioner, Sexy Silky Perfume Oil and Body Mist Set Seductive Vanilla Cupcakes

I just have to rave about this super cute set of body spray, perfume oil, and lip balm I got from Beautiful Twists.  I had to try the Sexy Librarian set because I am a librarian.  The whole set is just sooo yummy smelling, and I am loving how smooth the balm makes my lips.  The packaging of the products is really creative and fun.  Each lip balm or body spray has its own character including a story about the character.  These balms are ideal for the girl who can't live with out a lip balm in her purse.  Elladean on Esty creates of these amazing balms, etc.  I can't wait to try more of Elladean's lip balm creations!

Hard Candy Haul

Hardy Candy First Blush minis

I tried a few Hard Candy products for the first time this week.  So far, I am quite impressed with this line of inexpensive products.  I grabbed the First Blush minis set for $8 at Wal-Mart.  I figured this would be a good way to try the Living Doll blush, which I have heard good things about, and sample a few other products.  The set includes a mini Living Doll blush, mini Sheer Envy face primer, mini Glow All the Way Face & Body Luminizer, and mini Plumping Serum Volumizing Lip Gloss in the shade Pink.

• The blush is a nice, shimmery, rosy pink that would like pretty on anyone.
• The primer is similar to Smashbox Photo Finish primer in how it made my skin feel silky smooth.  And, the full-size primer only costs $8 for 1.6 oz.!
• The luminizer is a very frosty, sheer pink; I found that I had to use this lightly on my face as a little goes a long way.  I really liked the shimmer it gave my cheekbones; this will be a great product to experiment with this winter when I tend to feel like my skin looks dull.
• The Volumizing Lip Gloss felt nice on my lips, slightly tingly and not too sticky.  I noticed my lips looked a little plumper.  The color is a pretty, sparkly, pale pink.

This was a surprisingly good buy.  I look forward to experimenting with more Hard Candy products.

Hardy Candy nail polish in Beetle.

I am in love with this nail polish.  It looks green or purple or pink depending on how the light hits it.  And, it lasted five days without chipping!  Can't wait to try more colors!

Purely the best!

Purity Made Simple from Philosophy is one of the best facial cleansers I have ever used.  It's so gentle on skin while getting your face seriously clean.  I've used so many cleansers that feel great the first time I use them, and then just don't feel the same after frequent use.  That is not the case with this cleanser, my face feels fresh and glowing every time I use it.  Another great thing is that the small 5 oz. bottle will last months!

Bliss

Bliss Triple Oxygen + C Energy Cream

Bliss Triple Oxygen + C Energy Cream has become my must have splurge facial cream.  I loooove the way it makes my skin feel, and the light citrus scent is super refreshing.  I use it as a moisturizer after washing my face at night.  It's a pretty expensive product, but so worth it!
