First up the compact with this palette is amazing. It’s got a blue and aqua fabric case which is so pretty. It’s well constructed with a very nice mirror and 13 round eye shadow shades.
I am a huge fan of Clinique eye shadow and these are just as nice. The colors are my favorites with brows, taupe, green, blue, pink, purple and bronze in the mix. They are nice and pigmented and look so pretty on my eyes.
My only issue is with the brushes. When they are loose they fly out when I open the case so I took those out.
Overall I am thrilled with this palette. I think it’s a great deal for $39.

I received the Blinc Electric Eyes Palette in my July Boxycharm Box and WOW is this Boxycharm branded palette nice.
What’s to love?
This amazing palette has 5 creamy shades including Orpime, Rhodoni, Vanadini, Autuni and Sphene which are unusual names but the most beautiful jewel tone shades I have seen.
Below I’ve swatched Rhodoni, Vanadini and Sphene.
I really love the creamy metallic shine of these long lasting shades and the pink one is my favorite so far. I got no creasing that they look nice on my over 40 eyes!
So while I’ve never heard of this brand I am super excited to have gotten this palette. I think it’s going to be one of my Fall favorites! The neutral shades remind me of Fall leaves.
Price: $45

The palette is $54 and it’s currently sold out on Ulta and Sephora and it’s supposed to be in stores at Ulta on July 9th.
And if that wasn’t cool enough there’s also the Limited Edition Heat Vice Lipstick Collection which includes:
Scorched – Metallized (metallic copper)
Heat – Metallized (burnt red w/gold pearl)
Fuel – Cream (warm peachy nude)
This entire set looks amazing and it’s calling my name!
One of the best items that I received in my June Boxycharm was the Realher Eye Shadow Palette. The palette that I got is the l shades (Be Your Own Kind Of Beauty: NudesCollection) — there is also a II (Do Your Squats: Perfect Basics) and III (I Feel Beautiful: Smokey Violet Collection) version.
What’s to love?
I have to say this is one of the nicest new palettes I have gotten in a while. The neutral shades are so pretty. Creative (lilac) and Unique (bronze) are two of my favorites and I love that you get two matte shade (Smart) black and (Strong) brown. The other seven shades are shimmer.
The three light shades on top are luminescent too and look great as highlighters and upper eye shades.
The formula on these shades is super pigmented and almost feel like a cream they are so fine. They’re not chalky at all and they have great staying power too.
Realher is cruelty free also and free of Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Gluten, and Phthalates.
Price: $28.00

The Dirty Little Secret Gold Plated Eyeshadow Chubby Crayon is in the shade Gold Plated and it’s got plenty of shimmer and shine.
Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics was founded in 2014 and I’ve tried a lot of their products with great success. They Chubby Crayon is soft and applies very easily (there’s no tugging) and the color looks amazing. It’s a light shimmery gold and makes my over 40 eyes looks nice.
The Chubby Crayon does not have a scent and their site says they are cruelty free and vegan.
Price: $14

Just when my beauty budget was getting under control the amazing people at Too Faced have to go and release Glitter Bomb!
I may be over 40 but I’m not even close to being immune to the lure of glitter. Oh and of course there are 3 shades of purple (my favorite eyeshadow color) that is further driving my need to get my hands on this palette!
In addition to the purples you also get 5 more glitter shades including 3 pinks a blue and a gold. You also get white and black matte bases to play with.
Being ruined by my 80’s past I’m pretty sure I’ll be digging out $45 so that I can adorn my eyes in glitter. Duran Duran concert here I come!
The Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow Palettes are available now at Ulta.com for $9.99. I’m pretty excited about this line as the colors look so pigmented. If they are anything like the Maybelline The Graffiti Nudes Palette I may have to pick one up.
May has gone super fast but I had a hard time picking just 11 favorites for my monthly favorites list. The funny thing is I seem to have a French theme going on here which is nice for Spring.
I hope you enjoy my May Beauty Favs video, it’s a bit dark because it’s raining here. Enjoy!
Julep Nail Polish – Meredith – Wonder Maven in Sea Mist Chrome is fast becoming my favorite Summer shade!
Bath & Body Works French Collection – More French inspired products! I am loving the Rose Champagnebody cream which has sparkling clementine, crisp bergamot, apple blossom, pink pepper and blonde woods.
Bumble & bumble Seaweed Conditioner – I use the Bumble and bumble Seaweed Conditioner a fews times a week to keep my hair soft and manageable.
Lush Cup O’ Coffee Face & Body Mask– I just got a new pot of the Lush Cup O’ Coffee Face & Body Mask and I still love how it makes my face glow.
It Bye Bye Under Eye Waterproof Concealer – My final favorite is the It Bye Bye Under Eye Waterproof Concealer. This product has been doing wonder for my under eye discoloration!
So there you have it! 11 favs for May. I can’t wait for June.
