Urban Decay has released a new Naked palette in collaboration with illustrator Robin Eisenberg which is inspired by the sunsets and colors of California.  This palette is in the traditional Naked Palette format of 12 shades with a double sided eye brush.   It appears that this palette contains mostly shimmers and metallic eyeshadows, so you may find that you need to pull out multiple palettes to create a complete eye look.   

• Moonsand - ivory satin
  
• Solar Storm - soft taupe matte
• Pulsar - nude to pink
• Ion - bronze glitter
• Mango Sun - coral matte
• Exoplanet - cranberry-red glitter
• Foxfire - brick red matte
• Holidaze - muted burgundy-red glitter
• Home Planet - bright periwinkle matte
• Ice Crater - deep blue to purple
• Alien Babe - navy blue glitter
• Space Pod - dark teal-green glitter

Pleasing has released a collaboration with Brazilian fashion designer Marco Ribeiro.   This is the first time the brand has released makeup, which is notable.   However, I have to mention that I really hate the layout of the palette in this collection.   In my opinion it is a palette designed by someone who does not wear makeup themselves, not to mention the layout leaves so much room for more products in the tin.  However, the nail polishes will probably make their way into my collection at some point!  

• Pressed Powder Palette (8 shades for face and eyes) - $50
• Universal Cream Pigments (3 shades) - $40

• Incrivel Marrom Fosco Polish (single polish - brown) - $20

It appears that this collection contains: 

Also from Colourpop is the new Star Wars collection launching on May the 4th.  This collection looks pretty boring to me, but if you are a Star Wars fan it might be worth picking up for the outer packaging at the very least.   The colors in the eyeshadow palette are mostly browns and taupes with a few pops of red and blue and of course the standard black eyeshadow.   It looks like there are two interesting marbled shadows in the corners of the palette, but the rest of the eyeshadows appear to be others that can be found in prior palettes.  

• The Star Wars 15 pan palette
• 2 shades of graphic ink liners - it appears to be a purple and a golden bronze
• 2 shades of Jelly Much eyeshadows - one appears to be a light gold, and the other a light blue silver
• 2 shades of the Lux Gloss - it appears to be a pink and a purple
• 3 shades of the Lux Creme Lipsticks - one appears to be a warm tan nude, a medium pinky red, and a deep berry.  

A slightly older release from Simply Posh Cosmetics is the Picking Peonies eyeshadow palette.   I just love this color story and the way the left side of the palette seems to be laid out with the pinks and other shades that coordinate well with pink on the left side of the palette and the greens and browns on the right.   I do wish there were some lighter pinks in the palette to go along with the peony theme.   This palette is an 18 pan palette for $35 from the brand's website.   Based on the shape of the Fairytale Fairies palette I would guess that it is also going to be an 18 pan palette at $35 when it releases.

As for some face products, L.A. Girl Cosmetics has released six Soft Matte Cream Blushes.   According to a video on Trendmood's Instagram it appears that these are quite pigmented so a little bit will go a long way.   It also appears that these will sheer out nicely to use as a blush.   The product is in a small squeeze tube that has a small tip on it so you won't get too much product out of the tube at once.   The six shades of blush are below: 

• Cutie - warm peach
• Rosebud - soft rose pink
• Grace - nude
• Blissful - terracotta orange
• Kiss Up - medium pink
• Hot Shot - pinky red

There also appears to be a lip oil trio available from Kylie Skin in the flavors, Passion Fruit, Pomegranate, and Strawberry.  The formula claims to be non sticky and hydrating which leaves the lips looking smooth and plump.  This appears to only be available as a trio for $45 from the Kylie Cosmetics website.  

Hello everyone!  I want to take a quick second and welcome you to the newly renamed and revamped site.  If you have been around for a long time, you will know that my name is Pam and that I started this blog back in 2013 as a hobby while I was making my way through college.  In the past I have shared some crafty adventures, a few posts about my houses and mostly focused my attention on makeup and panning my collection.

• Snowflake - metallic silver
• So Hollywood - metallic gold
• Sunset Aura - rose gold
• Vegas - radiant gold
• Peach Fizz - coral gold

Melt Cosmetics has released the Radioactive collection which contains an 8 pan eyeshadow palette ($48), two liquid lipsticks ($19 each), and two "blushlights" ($22 each).  The 8 pan eyeshadow palette contains all bright neon shadows, and if you had the neon stack from Melt that contained the four shadows on the left side of this palette, you will likely be disappointed in this release.  Essentially they have added four shades to this range that are purples and blue/teal shades.  If you are into these bright shadows and didn't own the neon stack, this might be a better purchase for you; however, I am most definitely skipping out on this release.  

Back to ABH, they have announced and released a trio of large palettes curated by Norvina along with two smaller palettes that will be part of the Norvina collection available in Sephora.   The method that ABH used to release these palettes was a bit strange.  The really close release dates to each other was quite unike ABH; however, they are all out now.  The first palette (the purple palette), and the third palette (the orange packaging) are the two palettes that tempted me a bit; however, I know that I have these colors hanging around in my collection.

The Norvina Mini Pro Piment Palettes are $29 each on the Sephora website, and the large palettes are $60 each.

The final palette from ABH that has released recently is the Carli Bybel palette.  The palette is in the brand's standard 14 pan palette.  The colors of the palette are pretty standard, and they are all new shades to the ABH line; however I can find these all through my collection even from previous ABH palettes.  The real problem I have is that the palette hasn't had the time to shine with the saturation of the other Norvina palettes, and even the Jackie Aina palette releasing this fall.  I would have liked to see this palette release held off for at least a month.  The palette is $45 at the Sephora website if you are interested.



One of the bigger news items is that Tati Westbrook has officially launched her own makeup line (like everyone expected when Halo Beauty was launched).  The first product in her makeup line is a 24 pan eyeshadow palette.  The Textured Neutrals Vol 1 palette is an interesting release.  The idea is that there are six shades in four different finishes.  The four finishes are glitter, metallic, sequin, and matte and the palette is $48 on the Tati Beauty website.  The palette is currently sold out, but you can preorder now and it will ship out on December 15th.  Honestly, I am tempted to buy this one, but having four pans of a dark grey/ black shadow just isn't something that I need.

I'm going to stop there on this post.  I know that a lot of the items I mentioned released a while ago, but I am going to work on getting more consistent with these posts.  Hopefully we can make it through the holiday season in one piece!  What new releases are you excited for?

All the love,
Pam
