Favorite eye palette this month? I’ve only owned it for a bit over a week, but I am tempted to say Charlotte Tilbury’s The Rebel quad (I wish I had it with me but I really was trying to pack light so only brought Smashbox Minimalist and NARS Old Church Street…I couldn’t bear to leave that precious duo behind)

That elogical blush palette seems excellent. It looks like a great selection mildly tweaked so users would not be majorly duped in stash. Just a tad tangential to our blush thoughts. Super.

Favorite eye palette this month? Hmm… I’ve only worn singles really. I ordered a gazillion from Sydney Grace and I’m still going through those. But ask me again next week and I’m fairly confident the answer will be different!

P.S So I went shopping today and Tarte has this new Christmas pack out, with 6 (six!) blushes for the price of one! The problem was they didn’t have testers… But I love me a bargain! Eagerly looked through Temptalia and you don’t have swatches yet. You know what would be nice? And veeery handy? And oh so useful? Now more than ever, with Covid in the world…. An App! With just the basics: name, swatch, colour, undertone and how good/bad it is. Sth like that would be really helpful when they’re trying to sell you sth when they don’t have testers and they don’t know whether it’s pink or peach. It’s not easy searching for sth online when they’re breathing down your neck and pilling on the pressure! “Take it lady! Take it! It’s so cheap! Just take it” Hahaha! Food for thought: an App…! 😀

I’d also like to add an App would help save the planet because I wouldn’t buy things with the wrong colour anymore… I would only buy extra nice things that I would hold on to for a long time and it would save me a lot of money too… There, I rest my case! Think about it guys! Help save the planet! Go green! 😉
