Stila's Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Palettes for All Skin Tones

Stila hit the scene in a huge way back in the late 90's and early 2000's with their iconic Kitten Eyeshadow {my first ever Sephora purchase} and signature cardboard packaging. Since then they've gone through not one, but two packaging revamps and have really started to put function over funky. Case in point: the new Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Eye & Cheek Palettes that combine beautifully paired shadows and blush based on skin tone rather than eye colour. I recently got my hands on the Fair/Light palette to put to the test; Keep reading to see why it's become my go to travel palette and why I think Stila's got a winner concept going for them!

This Just In | Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe

I love a good palette, there's no doubt about it when you see my ridiculous makeup hoarding collection. Not nearly enough brands do blush palettes in my opinion - I am so much more likely to break from a makeup rut if there are out-of-my-comfort-zone shades conveniently packaged alongside some great neutrals and everyday colours. Diversity, ya know?

So when the Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe* showed up I danced a little jig and let out a squeal of joy (Mr. GLG knows this as Happy Makeup Dance) seeing that it had all 6 shades in the permanent range!

Shopping for the Perfect Palette | Five Favourites for Fall and Winter

When it comes to shopping for an eyeshadow palette, I always think it's important to think of three things: Texture, Tone and Uniqueness.

Today's posts has five can't-go-wrong palettes for Fall and Winter, as well as my tips for how to pick out a palette that will fit all your needs!

YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE | BFF Recommendations

Back at the beginning of August I was invited to a special Sephora VIBRouge event and I was able to take a friend. Normally I would take my makeup loving bestie because we fawn over everything and totally just "get it" when it comes to the borderline unhealthy obsession for beauty bits. However, she was out of town, so I took my other gal pal who is relatively unexperienced when it comes to makeup and besides totally overwhelming her, I may have talked her into a few (or many) purchases that night.

WANTED | Hard to Get Beauty Bits

Every once in a while I fall in love with reviews or raves over products, right them down on my wishlist and drool over them online, only to realize they aren't available to me here in Canada. It's a real bummer! Sometimes they make their way here eventually, and other times they never do. Here's a little list of some of the talked about bits I'm really wanting to get my hands on these days...
