Item of the week - December 2012

When you visit the website of Velour Lashes, you can find information about how to take care of the lashes, making them last up to 25 uses. You'll find the web shop where you can chose out of 12 different pairs of upper lashes and 2 types of bottom lashes. Right now when you go to their web shop they will have a promotion on all of their lashes, most lashes are priced from $59,99 now $29,99 (us) and the bottom lashes are priced from $44,99 now $24,99 (us) with free shipping. When I compare these lashes to the ones from MAC cosmetics which are CA $19,- per pair and synthetic, I would go ahead and give these a try!

Let's start with the two for every day use; the ever so famous Urban Decay Naked palette 1 and 2. Both have been best sellers since they came out. I must say that both palettes are indeed great, and I have given these palettes as gifts a few times and hear from the girls they use it a lot. I personally love the eyeshadows, they blend great have wonderful pigmentation and have almost got a creamy feel to them. Each Naked palette has a selection of 12 shades from highlight shades to mid tone shades; great to use in the crease, to deep dark shades for that smokey eye. The Naked 1 palette has warmer shadows and are great for people with blue eyes. The naked 2 palette has more cooler tones but would look great on anybody. What I like about both palettes is that they come with a brush, but I prefer the mirror in the Naked 2 palette. The naked 1 palette comes with a mini primer potion and the Naked 2 has a mini lip gloss. Both palettes are c$ 60,- available at Sephora.

Now for the people who like to play with a little bit of colour and shimmer! The Return Of Sexy eyeshadow palette by Too Faced came out a few moths ago and I have used this already quite a few times. I loved experimenting with colour, and the finish of these eyeshadows is amazing. Although this palette has colour, it also has some great neutral colours in them, like the browns and the greys. The palette comes with convenient step-by-step application cards, a wonderful black kohl pencil, and a mini size eye primer the too faced popular Shadow Insurance. This is a great gift for Christmas! Available at Sephora for c$ 54,-
