Her Palette!

Neutral eye shadows are all-time classic. They are very wearable for most skin tones and eye colors, even on daily basis. Who doesn’t love a gorgeous neutral palette? I simply don’t bother to dive into my eye-shadow collection to mix and match! Here are two brilliant palettes that I like:

Bobbi Brown Fall 2007 Collection – Stonewashed Nudes

This limited edition ($50) is inspired by taupe, stone, and gray to create a neutral eye look. It is loaded with seven different shades, three matte colors, and four shimmery colors. The palette comes with a double-ended brush, and a mirrored compact. It is a beautiful palette and is so convenient to apply! !

Kevyn Aucoin Essential Eye Shadow Set - Palette #2

This well-known make-up artist's brand caught my attention when I surfed the beauty section of Victoria's Secret website a couple months ago. In their eye color line, there are actually five selections of shadow sets. Palette #2 ($55) is black-and-slate color based. It has shimmery white and cream to highlight and brighten up. These shadows are pigmented, and long-lasting! I simply love it!

Benefit’s Perfect 10!

It is so much fun whenever I shop at the Benefit cosmetic counter. The aesthetic of their product design is retro-chic, creative, and approachable. Most of all, I find their products solve many embarrassing make-up problems that haunt women of all ages. I am sure this brand is occupying every cosmetic-savvy gal’s vanity box.

“10” is a perfect set of two shimmery face powders, a highlighter and a bronzer. Sweep the pearl pink to highlight the cheek bone. The bronzer helps a sun-kissed and elegant look. Viola! It's that simple! What I love about this two-in-one is the shimmery powders won’t overwhelm my complexion. It simply gives a soft glow to the face after gently sweeping back and forth several times.

It's only for $26 each. (Benefit is now offering free US standard shipping with any purchase through June 30th.)

Honey Rush! L’occitane Honey Comfort Mask

Every woman (oh well, man too) needs a gentle face mask in their skin-care emergency kits! Many people suffer from dryness or itchiness due to seasonal change, long haul air-flight travels, stressful time, late night partying or premenstrual period. I have suffered from the same problem since my teenage years, especially during my college late night study. It was extremely frustrating to handle this nuisance. Luckily, I discovered L’occitane’s Honey Comfort Mask, which is perfect for solving this condition. It is gentle enough for most sensitive skin even for daily use.

I have been using this soothing mask and the result is greatly satisfying. I’d use this honey mask for several days in a row whenever I suffer from redness and dryness. Not only it smooths the dry area (mainly cheek) and reduces the embarrassing redness, it also leaves my skin moisturized and healthier soon after. Plus, the formula of royal jelly, propolis and honey makes it smell sweet and slightly grassy. This facial mask simply makes me feel happier and more confident before taking my beauty sleep.

For $34, it is a good buy!!!
