Sydney Grace Cream Shadow ($8.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is a cream eyeshadow available in a squeeze tube and has many shade varieties. I have 18 shades (I believe there are 41 in total), which you'll find swatched in this post!
There are four new, just-released shades of Lisa Eldridge Lip Colours (£26.00 for 0.12 oz.) in two new formulas--Luxuriously Lucent and Insanely Saturated--and the three original Red Velvet shades will be restocked in a few weeks. I purchased the original trio of lipsticks when they launched last...

Happy Wednesday! Here's this week's survey, which you can copy and paste and share as a comment.

Did a product catch your eye this week? Check out dupes for the most loved and most wanted products between June 25th and July 1st before you buy!
1.) Expensive does not equal high quality. 2.) Don’t be afraid to mix and match across brands. 3.) Brushes are worth the investment (not necessarily the most expensive are required, just that the right tools for your technique + features can go a long way).
Rave: I love how affordable they are, that they’re on-trend, and they aren’t afraid to release colorful or less traditional shades. Rant: I wish they had a stronger core range of products that stuck around more permanently; even things that are “permanent” seem to disappear after a few months–some shades ARE timeless!
