What makes an eyeshadow palette versatile to you?

I like palettes with a theme – and I actually find that the ones I use the most may be something like all jewel-tones, even though I’ll have to use another set of shades for mattes or more contrast. I like some variety in finish, e.g. not all mattes or not all metallics and enough difference in...

Did you make any beauty-related resolutions for 2016? How did they go?

Did you make any beauty-related resolutions for 2016? How did they go?

I half-heartedly make one that’s beauty-related, mostly to answer the follow-up to this question, which will be “Do you have any beauty-related resolutions for 2017?” I had to look it up, and it was to write at least as many reviews as I did in 2015. I don’t have a final tally in yet, but...
