I keep seeing so many people talking about that BH palette on IG and I am so tempted. If I see a good sale I might cave!
It’s really, REALLY good. If you love blues/purples/burgundies, you will love it. Personally, I think it’s the best BH Cosmetics palette they’ve put out.

Favorite eye palette this month? Too many, yet again! ColourPop Tinkerbell palette, your 3 with Sydney Grace and Huda Jaguar Palette have seen the most usage. Wearing Tinkerbell *everything* today for my trip to see my PCP, as my A1C came back higher than they’d like, I needed something cheery and fun.

Go-to cheek products this month? MELT Nevermore blushlight, Laura Gellar Diamond Dust highlighter.
Favorite eye palette this month? Sydney Grace x Temptalia Radiant Reflections.
Super fair, pinky/red undertones (oh rosacea, how I hate thee – it grows worse with all the mask usage).
Lip – Buxom Fly Girl. It only came to me about halfway through the month (Ulta days of beauty), but it’s now a staple in my handbag and fairly reliable in matching whatever eye look (or nah) I do that day. Be it multichrome or plain jane neutral.
Cheek – Eh, My flush has really been amping up, so I’m ignoring blushes and either using a touch of bronzer or nothing at all
Eye palette – Lorac Noir and Soleil fairly interchangeably (also Ulta days of beauty) – though maybe Noir a little more for the brown and black. They were a great purchase, especially on sale, and I can’t seem to stop using them.
