In this weekly feature, it's all about sharing your all-time favorites—what you'd recommend to others, what you've really enjoyed, and so on.
You know, I recently caved on the Make Up For Ever’s Artist Shadow Collector’s Set, and I kick myself a bit for doing so, as there was no need (I own them all individually). Other sets for the season: Tom Ford Lips & Boys and philosophy 12 Days of Christmas.
