New In: L'oreal Spring 2016
I'm not the biggest drugstore junkie but this year they are killing the Spring collection. My personal favorite drugstore brand is L'Oreal and their new products are seriously amazing. I didn't pick up everything from their new lines but I did pick up a few things.
The first is the True Match Lumi Cushion, this is the drugstore's version of the cushion foundation trend in Asia. I was a little skeptical at first but so far I'm loving it. It a luminous foundation with buildable coverage from sheer to medium. Next up is the star of the show, the Colour Riche Monos Eye Shadows, these aren't new to L'Oreal just the US and I am so excited they finally decided to bring them here. They are the smoothest, creamiest drugstore shadows I've tried and have awesome color payoff with easy bendability. Lastly, the Infallible Pro-Matte Glosses, these live up to their name. They have a semi-matte finish that over time wears down to a fully matte finish. They're so incredibly comfortable on the lips and last a significant amount of time for a gloss. I also appreciate that L'Oreal was true with their marketing and didn't label these as fully matte when they clearly aren't.

Review: NARS Steven Klein One Shocking Moment Palette
When I think of NARS I always think of their blushes - especially their holiday palettes, so when my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas the first thing that came to mind was the NARS Steven Klein One Shocking Moment Palette. When I opened this on Christmas I was so excited to try out all the powders.
Inside the palette, there's four blushes, a highlighting shade, a contour shade and a bronzer. The four blushes are Robotic, Blasphemy, Luster and Dolce Vita, my favorite of the four is Dolce Vita, a warm pink shade with gold flecks of glitter that gives me a rosy glow with just something extra. My least favorite is Luster, it's a warm coral-y orange shade with small flecks of glitter.
The bronzer in the palette is the Laguna bronzer and despite the hype before now I've never owned it or used it. Bronzers, in general, are a bit tricky for me as a pale girl because they usually look too orange but this one looks fine on me. If I use it lightly it gives me a sun-kissed glow, which is great especially during the winter nights. The Shades next to it are the contouring duo-Paloma and it's highlighter. These are great! I use the highlight shade to set my under eye area and it looks wonderfully!
Overall I really like this palette minus the one blush shade that just won't work with me(I think it would look fantastic on someone with darker complexion). For the size of the palette and the blushes within it, I think it was beyond worth it!
