Urban Decay’s Foreshadow Palette

I’d had a hectic month, so went on a wee spending spree: got a few shadow colors, got one nail polish, picked up some shampoo…and saw this at the checkstand. Normally I don’t buy pressed shadows any more; but the outside of the case caught my eye....

BareMinerals’ Buxom Babes About Town kit

The recent decision to spin the buxom products off to their own line, and make it Sephora-exclusive, hasn’t been universally popular…but it does mean that we get new goodies, like the buxom lip sticks (replacements for the old quicksticks, with the buxom tingle). This kit has either two...

BareMinerals’ 2005 Summer Grand kit

The colors are too similar to things...
