 Ok guys, I finally got the Jaclyn Hill palette.....yes I know, bit late to the game there Erin. I got it because, if you don't know, some of Morphe products are sold in store and online at Ulta Beauty. So the reason that I don't have Morphe palettes in my collection aside from the Kathleen Lights and Morphe collab is because the shipping was ridiculous. Like forget the 10% code Morphe, give me a free shipping code and I'm cool with it. Not to mention a regular palette costs around $23 I think, Jaclyn Hill's palette costs $38. So add in roughly about $12 in shipping, which I find weird because you can buy a whole crap load of brushes and ship it USPS for $4 but buy a palette and it's like $12 and FedEx. Not sure if you think FedEx is safer because they nearly broke the glass on my door from throwing a package so hard against it.....but I digress.

 I'd like to start a new series on here called "What Is It?" it'll have it's own category and focus on ingredients, especially ingredients that we're seeing a lot of in skincare products or just newly discovered ingredients. I think that the more you know about your products or the ingredients behind products the better judge you'll be if that product is for your skin concerns. I tend to think an educated mind makes you a force to be reckoned with because you won't be easily gullible to marketing.
 Not done a haul in a minute, so lets do one! I was going to wait until next week but I thought it would be best to do it now so that it's not super overwhelming and "too much" infomation. So this is going to be a skincare haul. Some of the stuff was sent so I will put * beside those so that you know. Some of these have been tried and some have not.
 For a while I've had the opportunity to observe the effects of Curel's Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion. My mother has very thin and aging skin, it breaks easily and is dry constantly. She's always used lotions multiple times a day for as long as I can remember. For the last month she's been using the Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion that they sent me. It's made a vast improvement in her skin all over but especially her hands and arms.
I've been trialing an eye cream for the past month or so I would say. It's the Neostrata Intensive Eye Cream. I am a hardcore skeptic of eye creams. I tend to bring moisturizers and oils up instead of getting a dedicated eye cream. However, when I have to test an eye cream I use it continuously until I have a good feel for it.
I recently got to try the Jan Marini Clean Zyme Cleanser and Skin Zyme Mask duo. I was hesitant at first but I decided to go ahead and give it a go because it's technology/formulas that I've never used before or not used much and I love testing those.
Jan Marini Skin Research is one of the most respected brands in professional skin care. JMSR has formed associations with some of the world's leading physicians and research scientists to develop cutting edge solutions to today's most common skin concerns. JMSR has introduced a host of technological firsts, has been awarded numerous patents and has published multiple independent peer-reviewed studies on it's products.  Anastasia is always surprising us with launches out of nowhere. It's part of the reason I love them so much. For the holidays they released several things but one of those being PRISM palette. I seen it and fell in love with it because I just thought it was so different. It's been an interesting journey so far, this is going to be long.
 The time is upon us. Sephora's Friends and Family event is only days away if you happen to be buds with an associate, otherwise it's in mid November. I waited till last minute just so I could get an idea of what sets are going to be the best and what looks interesting. This will also be in parts: skincare and makeup, and then the things I'm interested in. Let's get started.
 It's time for another "Why Isn't Anyone Talking About This?". Which I seem to be doing a lot of recently. This is a really good one that I've been using for over a month. So let's not waste anytime.
I actually got this in the Allure Beauty Box a month or more ago. I can truthfully say that it's definitely made me want the full size, and I use it quite a bit especially when my skin can't handle any harsh acid toning or retinols. It's the Hey Honey I Peel Good. It's basically honey consistency and you rub it in a circle on your skin....I know what your thinking "oh and your "dead skin balls up"? *unimpressed*" NO! That's what so cool about it. You rub it in a circle until it becomes a very thin, oil like consistency and then you rinse it off. It doesn't ball up any skin and hand over heart there is a noticeable difference in my texture. I was super skeptical. As soon as I seen it was an AHA free peel I thought it would be something that wasn't very good. I'm happy to say I was so wrong.  For the last few weeks I've been playing with the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette doing several looks with it. This is a gorgeous palette, when you open it it's absolutely stunning. It came out the same time as the Natasha Denona Lila Palette with a similar purple theme. I opted for this instead of the ND palette because to be honest I never reach for the Sunset Palette that I have so I wasn't going to drop that much money on a palette again. That being said, this one is not cheap either. It comes in at $65 for 15 shadows and one pressed glitter.
