Stila "The It Girl Palette"

Stila makes some amazing shadows so I knew this trio would be no different.  This is a great little palette for everyday wear.  You can even vamp up your day look with the darker color to make it more night appropriate.  I believe I paid $14 for this on Sephora's website.  The best $14 I've ever spent.  I think Stila eyeshadows are almost $20 if purchased individually, so getting 3 for less than what 1 costs is awesome in my book.

Kat Von D Truth Palette

This has to be my favorite Kat Von D palette that I own.  It's a great everyday, go-to palette.  This colors are very soft and pigmented.  This palette also comes with 1 cream shadow which is great to use as a base.  The colors are soft enough to be worn during Spring or even Winter.  This palette can also be found at Sephora online as well as in store.

Kat Von D Beethoven Palette

Like the Ludwig palette, Kat Von D's Beethoven palette is great for creating day and evening looks as well as transitioning from day to night.  The colors are beautifuly pigmented and would look great on every skin tone and eye color.  This palette has 3 repeat colors from the Ludwig palette, but I think the other colors in this palette make it worth having repeats.  This palette can also be found at Sephora online and in store.

Kat Von D Ludwig Palette

I absolutely LOVE Kat Von D's eyeshadow palettes which are sold exclusively at Sephora.  The colors are very pigmented and easy to blend.  I know a couple of the palettes have some repeat colors, but not to the point where it's not worth buying.  The Ludwig palette is great for creating day or night looks and transitioning from one look to the other easily.  These palettes run about $34 and can be found at Sephora online or in store.

Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Eyeliner Set

I'm sure everyone knows all about Urban Decay's amazing 24/7 eyeliners.  Several months back UD celebrated their 15th Anniversary and with that they released a set of 15 of their amazing eyeliners.  This set cost about $100 which was a great deal because if bought individually, each liner would cost almost $20!  They only thing I woul've loved to see were some more brighter colors, but overall this was a great set to get your hands on.

Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish

Several months ago Sally Hansen came out with a new line of nail polishes and they are GORGEOUS!!!  I have 5 of them, but there are 16 in the collection.  The colors are just so beautiful and very vived and bright.  They run about $7, but there are some stores that have sales on these often.  I got 3 of mine at Target when they were on sale for $5 which is a great deal for such amazing quality.

MAC Surf Baby: Full of Grace Sun Tint


MAC's new Surf Baby collection came out with 3 lip balms called Sun Tints which contain SPF 20.  I picked up the one called Full of Grace which is a soft sheer rose and the "darkest" color of the three.  In all honesty the only reason I didn't get the other two is because they're all pretty much the same sheer color when applied.  I just thought it would've been a waste of money to all three.  Also, these are VERY sticky.  I'm actually thinking about returning it and getting something else because I just can't stand how sticky it is.  I wanted it for the SPF because I burn very easily in the sun, but I don't think it's worth it.
