Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box Palette

I got this palette the other day because Ulta was having an amazing deal on it! It was only $18 - originally $39! I'm pretty positive they had it on sale to make room for the new Oz Palette's that were just released this week but that doesn't bother me one bit. I know it's an older palette from Urban Decay and it contains the older formula but I still love it and can't wait to get a ton of use out of it this spring and summer!! If your Ulta still has it on sale, I would take advantage of the great deal! It comes with a mini Urban Decay Primer Potion as well! The packaging is the only con I have for this palette - Although it is super cute with the decorated bamboo, the swivel movement it makes isn't very practical. The screw you see at the top left corner gets loose and has to be tightened a lot. You could always depot the shadows into a Z-Palette if that really bothered you.

Here are some pictures and swatches!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

I got the Naked 2 Palette for my 22nd birthday this year and I was SO EXCITED! I've heard that the Naked and Naked 2 Palettes are two must have palettes for an eyeshadow collection. I already have the Naked Palette and did a review on it with swatches a few months ago - click here to look at that post.

Naked 2 has 12 pigment-rich, taupe and greige neutral eyeshadows. Feast your eyes on shades ranging from pale to deep, matte to sparkly. It's a very versatile palette (just like Naked)! This collection of shadows lets you achieve lots of neutral looks, smoky dramatic eyes, and everything in between.

Tarte EmphasEYES Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette

I recently bought the Tarte EmphasEYES Amazonian Clay Trio Palette because I thought the colors were gorgeous! The trio includes the colors: Shimmering Light Pink, Shimmering Sand, and Shimmering Cocoa. If you have never tried Tarte eyeshadows, they are extremely creamy and pigmented (of course lighter shades are going to be harder to see because they are more of a sheen but are definitely buildable). I will post a picture of the swatches below. The packaging is super cute as well! It looks like faux bamboo and has a decent sized little mirror for a great on the go palette.
