Chic Simplicity


This look is so super easy but I absolutely love it! It incorporates the trend of
leaving the eyelids black of eyeliner and just blacking out the waterline and loading
up on the mascara. This is beautiful and chic yet so simple and easy to accomplish. 
Enjoy!!

Into the Garden: Look #3 and my Final Thoughts on this Palette

This is probably my favorite look from this Into the Garden Palette series. The pictures do it absolutley
no justice. It's simple yet the eyes just pop and have a bit of understated drama.
If you've never tried any of the Mary Kay Blush and Highlight Duo, do yourself a favor and get one.
The lasting power of these blushes is just unbelievable.
As for the lipglosses, the top coral/orange one is pretty shear but does add shine to your lipstick.
The bottom 2 glosses have a bit more pigment, but they are glosses so don't expect a "lipstick" amount of coverage. If I could make a suggestion to Mary Kay, I would put lipsticks in your next palette, not lipglosses. The lipglosses give the palette a more juvenile feel than I believe you are going for. It reminds me of the little toy makeup palettes we used to get as a kid. The lipglosses in the palette are good but not as great as your NouriShine Lipgloss Formula in the tube. However; the eyeshadow formula in this palette is phenominal. They are beyond buttery and creamy for a powder shadow. Totally worth the money and a BIG thumbs up. I recommend this palette. It's cute and will be a great staple for the spring and summer!
