If you had to keep only 10 lip colors, what would your top 10 look like?

If you had to keep only 10 lip colors, what would your top 10 look like?

These minimalist type questions make my heart pitter-patter in a way that’s surely unhealthy. Here’s a very tentative top 10 that I’d never commit to achieving… Urban Decay Rebel, Estee Lauder Naked Truth, Bite Oyster Pearl, Burberry Oxblood (Liquid), Cle de Peau Bugatti Red, Too Faced Honey...

Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette

Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.35 oz.) is more of a mixed bag than I'd expect these types of shades to be, since we have certainly seen numerous orange/copper/red-themed shades over the last few years. The matte formula was noticeably drier,...

Ulta

I dig the mix of affordable and mid/high-end offerings. I think it’s nice to have more of a one-stop shop experience. They have fantastic sales/offers and a good reward program (that actually rewards one’s loyalty!). However, their website could be vastly improved, and their shipping is the worst in the industry in my experience. They often put one giant air packet on the top of products, so everything still ends up rattling around the box for 7-10 days in transit. I’ve started to put 2-day shipping on all orders (which isn’t cheap) but still find that the majority of the time I’ve ordered powder products, at least one thing arrives shattered. Their customer service has gotten better at replacing broken items, though, and doesn’t require returning a $1.00 items in order to get a replacement any more.

If you had to keep up to 5 eyeshadow palettes (or single equivalent), what would your top 5 look like?

Pat McGrath Decadence, Viseart Paris Nude, Coloured Raine Queen of Hearts, Tom Ford Nude Dip, Chanel Empreinte du Desert. I’d be very upset, though, and I beg everyone never to make me choose this for real.
