These pastel lips are so beautiful, and I want to try them immediately.

Eye Primers

Eye shadow primers can prevent eye shadow from creasing and fading. You can also use eye shadow primers under the eye to prevent concealers from creasing. It can also intensify the color of the shadow. There are a lot of great eye primers, but not many from the drugstore.

The Best Makeup Wipes

The Best Cleansing Wipes: Keep in mind that a cleanser is better for removing makeup, especially waterproof. When a sink isn't handy or when you want to take off most of your makeup, wipes are good. Don't tug on the skin, though, because that can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. My favorites are #6 and 8.

2. Simple Micellar Makeup Removing Wipes $5.51/25 wipes

3. Acure Organic Unscented Argan Oil Cleansing Towelettes $7.99/30

Urban Decay MoonDust Palette

I already own three of the individual Moondust shadows, and I love them. So, when I saw Urban Decay was releasing a new Moondust palette, I had to buy it, and I was not disappointed.

First off, look how lovely this packaging is. It literally made me swoon!  I think its one of the nicest I've ever seen in a palette.

When I opened this palette, I was mesmerized with all the glitter. Though it's not pictured, it has a mirror on the inside of the lid, which is convenient. Each eyeshadow contains .2 oz. of the product, which is about half of the individual Moondust eyeshadows. The palette costs 49 dollars, while the single Moondust eyeshadows cost 21 dollars. These shadows can be worn wet or dry. There is no eyeshadow brush, though, which is unfortunate.

The colors:
Specter - Soft pink sparkle
Element - Peachy pink sparkle
Magnetic - Purple sparkle
Lightyear - Green sparkle
Granite - Silver black sparkle
Lithium - Brown sparkle
Vega - Bright blue sparkle
Galaxy - Smoky blue/gray sparkle


The swatches:

Specter, Element, Magnetic, Lightyear

Granite, Lithium, Vega, Galaxy

Top 14 Best Makeup Removers

A good makeup remover can remove waterproof and long lasting makeup. Look for one that is free from fragrance, as fragrance can sting and burn if it gets near the eye. Use a cotton ball or Q-tip saturated in makeup remover and be gentle. Tugging on your skin, especially around the eye, can lead to those dreaded wrinkles. Here are my recommendations for the best makeup removers.
