Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name.

Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Marc Jacob Steel-etto palette, Dior blush in 999 and since I have worn it everyday since I got it, Lisa Eldridge Skyscraper Rose. Such a nice colour for me.
Favorite cheek product this month? I have been using the Cover Fx Blush duos pretty much every day for the past 2 or 3 weeks so any of those shades. I have all but the lightest one.
Favorite eyeshadow palette this month? Marc Jacobs Steel-etto and my Vintage Rose palette from Give Me Glow Cosmetics. I have paired some of the shades from the Vintage Rose with shades from Steel-etto to give me a softer look and they have paired nicely. I wouldn’t have thought so from just looking.

I know exactly what you mean. I wanted it from the day it launched and just never picked it up. It gets mixed reviews from a lot of “beauty gurus” but that didn’t make me want it less. I decided to go for it and I am happy that I did. It is a stand alone palette for me as there is a good matte cream shade. I can get very wearable day looks and very nice vampy night looks, not that I need those anymore, LOL! I am not regretting it at all but it is a difficult decision when we have so much and like you, I am pretty sure I can dupe it twice over. Someone here on the blog mentioned that they never reach for their’s but I love mine.

Three products you couldn’t put down this month? I can only think of one, and not for a pleasant reason. Tom Ford Honeymoon quad. Basically in an attempt to fall in love with it the way I imagined I would once I finally bought it. I’ve used it 5 X’s in the 2 weeks I’ve had it . Only once did it look as splendid as I imagined. And that involved MAC Fix+ for shades #1 and 3.

Favorite cheek product this month? Hourglass Ghost quad! Yes; still!

Favorite eyeshadow palette this month? Even though I’ve only gotten to play around with it twice, PMG Subversive Mothership III. I’ve got to get in there and experiment with this total gem much more! Unfortunately I haven’t because I became far too fixated on making the previously mentioned TF Honeymoon work. Night Creature and Gigabyte are out of this world!

Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Palette in Light, MAC Lipglass in Counting Stars, and e.l.f. Blush in Gotta Glow (My goal was to finally use it up, and I have.).

Favorite cheek product this month? Fenty Beauty Ruby Richez, though I have yet to wear it with a whole look. (I have only worn makeup 4 or 5 times this month.)

Favorite eyeshadow palette this month? Huda Beauty Nude Obessions Palette in Light. Beautiful and easy peasy to use.

Giorgio Armani Silk Foundation- I totally get the hype. Thanks so much Christine for recommending.
Chanel Lumiere et Opulence quad – a totally beautiful palette…I almost don’t want to use it as the press design is just beautiful.
I’m kinda reluctant to admit this but the PMG Divine Rose palette. I really like the Sable Bronze in it. I can literally do a whole face with it…contour, blush and highlight included.
And four because I rediscovered it…Intense Nude by Estée Lauder.
Favorite cheek product this month? Rose Dusk from the Divine Rose palette
Favorite eyeshadow palette this month? Chanel Lumiere et Opulence.

Favorite eyeshadow palette this month? Thanks to a recently developed talc or dimethicone sensitivity on my eyes, I looked into Aether Beauty and got their Rose Quartz palette from Sephora. It’s beautiful and easy on the eyes in more ways than one.
