I know people have had issues with Cosmo, breaking or falling out of their palette. Thankfully that has not happened to me, and I have used it a few times for looks and it's still in tact. I did not swatch the matte shadows simply because her matte shadows are beyond amazing and don't need to be proven pigmented. The textured shadows, are what is always in question so below you will see swatches of each!

Blood Moon,Celestial,Nefertiti,Twilight

Royal,Retrograde,Cashmere,Angelic

Cosmo,Turkish Delight

I love this palette, and have had no issues with blending or wear time. The eyeshadows are labeled as toppers are subtle upon swatching, but go on beautifully over another shadow.

Huda Beauty knows her stuff, and will continue to buy her shadow palettes as she comes out with them. Her original palette is my absolute favorite and it goes everywhere with me. I had to buy a second one for my bridal kit because I love it so much. I know I will be doing the same with this palette, because it's a must have for beauty lovers and artist alike.

L'oreal Pure Clay Cleanser Purify + Mattify -$6.99 online here or at your local drugstore!

3 Pure Clays and Eucalyptus Clay-to-mousse cleanser
Removes Impurities and Unclogs Pores
Refreshes and Cleanses Skin
Reduces Excess Shine

When I first got this a few months ago I wasn't 100% sure how I was going to like it. I have oily combination skin, and it was August so my skin was miserable. However, I had to try something to get rid of the oil and to help clean out my pores.

I damped my face just a little before apply, and I put on a nice coating all over my face. I let it set for 30seconds and get into my pores before working into a nice lather and rinsing off. Not only was my skin left feeling clean, but it looked so much better after just a few uses. I wasn't dry, but my pores weren't large. My breakouts were gone, and I also noticed I wasn't as oily throughout my day after using this cleanser.

I love this cleanser so much, especially in the warmer months when I am very oily. So for the colder months when I tend to be more dry, I am going to reach for another L'oreal cleanser like the Detox and Brighten. This also make me want to to try more of this line and grab some of the new face masks I recently saw at the drugstore.

Have you tried these cleansers? What is your favorite L'oreal Skincare item?

Cucumber Herbal Conditioning Cleanser-5oz for $24 online here or now available at your local Sephora!

Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner-8.4oz $16 online here or now available at your local Sephora!

Being a beauty blogger I am no stranger to skincare, from drugstore to luxury brands. Kiehl's is one of those brands that I have always enjoyed, and tends to be my go to. I have used Kiehl's for years, but I was so excited when I got the opportunity to review these new Cucumber products for all skin types.

I have sensitive skin, so I do have to be mindful when testing out products. I did use the Kiehl's Midnight Botanical Cleansing Oil to remove all my makeup first. I followed up with the Cucumber Conditioning Cleanser, which is very light weight and refreshing. I felt like my skin was clean, but it was not dry and tight.

The alcohol-free toner is probably my favorite, I use it as the last step in my cleansing routine morning and night. My skin doesn't burn and most importantly for me I am not left with a red face. My pores appear smaller, no new breakouts and my skin is not dry or flaking.

What are your go to favorite items from

I am so happy to share with you these amazing products from EndureLash!

Organic Drying Cloth-$25.10 online here!

"Designed with a unique fabric weave and spin that provides minimal shedding, no snagging or pulling, and fewer lost lashes."

This cloth is amazing for anyone who wears eyelash extensions, and needs a gentle way to groom and dry their lashes. I find that it works great for my natural lashes as well, after I remove my eye makeup with the Endure Lash Makeup Remover cloth (shown below) I dry my lashes and eye area off with the drying cloth.

Endure Lash Organic Eye Makeup Removal Cloth- $25.10 online here!

"Designed to help remove eyeshadow and eyeliner without snagging, pulling or shedding into your eyelash extensions."

Using this eye makeup removal cloth, to remove all my eye makeup, helps protect the gentle skin around my eyes and my lashes. I buy organic cotton pads to use on my eyes to remove makeup, so it only makes sense to have something that I can reuse again and again. I love the makeup removal cloth and follow up with the drying cloth. My lashes are long and strong, and no empty spots where my lashes have fallen out.

If you spend time and money on lash extensions why not invest in yourself and maintain those lashes a little longer. I mentioned that I don't have extensions but I had an issue with my lashes breaking off and falling out because I wasn't giving special attention to my lashes.

Sephora Pro Warm Palette- $68 online at Sephora or in store!

Just a few of the textured shadows without primer, and only 1 swipe from pan to my hand!

The 2nd from last shadow is the only 1 in the entire palette that wasn't as pigmented as I had hoped. However, if you use it to layer ontop of another shadow or pigment you get a beautiful rose gold finish.

These are just a few of the matte shadows, I wanted to show you how pigmented they are. The black in this palette is the darkest,matte black that I have ever used. Although these swatches are shown with me using my finger, I promise you that a brush gives you just as much pigment if not more!

I absolutely adore this palette, if you are looking for 1 palette to splurge on that will work for you ever single time this is the palette for you. There are enough shadows to create great that perfect day look and take it into a night look with ease.

Please know that these shadows are very pigmented and do have a little kickback or fall out. However, you need to only tap your brush into each shadow gently to get color payoff. Go light handed with these, you don't have to build them or apply several times to get the color you see in the palette.

This is the look I created (with no primer or base to show you the true color) using the warm palette. I used the warm brown to build up my crease, and then the beautiful cranberry color I swatched in the palette all over the lid. I took that matte black and gentle tapped my brush into it and placed it in my crease. I took those same colors except the black.

If you have any questions that I did not touch on please email me, or leave them in the comments below! Have you tried this palette or any of the other Sephora Pro palettes out yet? I am in love, and can't wait to pick up the other palettes!

Bye Bye Under Eye Concealing Pot $28 each online here !

Is available in these 6 shades, from Light to Warm Deep

I love this concealer because I not only have dark circles but I also want brightening and this does both. I can conceal my dark circles without having to use a corrector first. I brighten the under eye without having to layer products and it doesn't look like I am wearing a ton of product.

If you have aging skin like I do, with fine lines this concealer doesn't enhance those either it is so creamy and smooth. I do set my under eye area because of my wrinkles everything creases.

For best application I use my ring finger and pat the product under my eye and onto my lid. I pat gently and do not rub the product or tug on my skin. I tried applying with a brush but I still ended using my finger. The warmth of my finger helps blend the product in and I have had no issues.

Have you tried this new concealing pot? What is your favorite IT Cosmetics product?

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette - $54 online here or Ulta & Sephora in store!

Swatches of the palette, with no primer and only 1 swipe from pan!

I have every single palette Urban Decay has ever made, especially all of the Naked Collection. I am always impressed, and even when I think the colors aren't for me I end up buying it and using it anyways. The Urban Decay Naked Heat palette is stunning and I get so many compliments when I wear this look (featured below).

I am traveling out of town this weekend, and believe it or not this is the only palette I am taking with me! If you have been hesitant about picking it up, just go ahead and buy it.

In the above photo (the heat palette) I have marked the shadows to get this look. I take a large fluffy crease brush and start with Cayenne, building it up with En Fuego to make it a little bit darker and to help blend. I then add Ashes in the crease and make it darker in the outer V. I then take a pencil brush and use those same 3 colors on my lower lash line in the same order.

I then wet my brush with All Nighter spray and apply the shade scorched all over the lid. I usually can't get enough so I have to add the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Glamrock to the inner corner of my eye!

I hope you enjoyed this review, and a quick look of the day. If you have any questions please always feel free to ask me! You can always reach me in the comments,email or via social media.

Please check out my beautiful friend Christine, and her 2 looks she created with this palette. She created looks that are much more wearable and it's so fun to see how 2 people can use the same palette and get different looks!

Self Purchased, and non affliate links!
