Lorac 'Evening Soirée' Light Source & Color Source Duo - Review, Swatches, and Look

The first high end brand I ever bought from was Lorac.  The original 'Unzipped' palette was, and still is one of my favourite palettes - it still makes me swoon.

What Lorac does really well is release great sets for the holidays.  The 'Evening Soirée' Light Source & Color Source Duo was from the holiday 2016 season.

April Faves 2016

May is here, which means that I'm looking back at my most-used products from the past month.  Here are some of my top picks.

Can't wait to see what makeup May 2016 will bring!

Face of the Day: MAC Zac Posen Palette

Happy Wednesday!  I'm attempting to do one 'Face of the Day' post per week, so here is one featuring a palette that I was super excited about.

When the makeup fairy brought me the Zac Posen 'Eye Z You' MAC Palette I was BEYOND excited.  I'm a fan of Zac's work, and I think that the look of  palette lines right up with his work in the fashion industry - lovely and able to appeal to the masses.

What's in my Makeup Bag: IMATS New York

It's almost time for my long-awaited trip to IMATS New York.  This trip has been in the works for a little while, so I'm super excited to go.  In fact, I'm so excited that I actually sat down and filmed a video about it!  This whole "sit down, talk to a camera, and edit the video" thing is very new to me, so hopefully it gets better with practice...starting with a better camera.

Thanks for watching!  Any travel must-haves?  Let me know in the comments below.  Until next time, toodles! - Shawna

Makeup Haul

It's been a while since I've posted a beauty haul.  Here's a few little things that I bought, when I was in Buffalo, NY.

Face of the Day: Smoky Jade

Hi all!  Can I just re-iterate how much I missed playing with eyeshadow?  This whole skin allergy thing has really made me fall back in love with creating eye looks, and my 'face of the day' posts as a whole.

This 'face of the day' features a palette that I've been neglecting since I bought it.
