Sky Blue Liner

Today I wanted to do a simple eye with a focus on a pretty, bright liner
and glowy skin. I really loved the way it turned out and it was
super simple to do. It looks a lot fancier than the work I put it.
Love the pop from the liner!!

Creamy Sunset (Plus Review on the NYX Avant Pop Palettes)

I know I've been using these NYX Avant Pop Palettes a lot BUT I just love them! These palettes have inspired me more than any other palettes I received in a while.
I love the idea of having 3 smaller palettes that work together at a more affordable price than having these huge, expensive palettes that can be a little overwhelming.
With the separate palettes, you can choose which ones you want or take
the time to collect all of them over time.
The thing I love MOST about them is the pigmentation and quality of the shadows. Price
is nothing if the quality is bad. NYX has hit the mark on these! They are super affordable and the quality is unbeatable. I would compare these shadows to my Lorac Pro shadows. I just love them and I recommend them to everyone.
