First Impressions: LORAC Unzipped Palette

Hello there :)

Today, I present you this glorious thing. The LORAC Unzipped Palette. I was at Ulta the other day and I was just wandering around, until I went to the LORAC section and saw this. Oh my gosh, the thoughts that ran through my head were those of any shopaholic/makeup obsessed person out there: 

"It's so pretty."

"Should I buy it?"

"This is like an investment. It'll pay out in the end."

And there you have it. Now this palette is in my hands. I have been restricting myself from even touching it, because I wanted to do this first impressions. But, after swatching it and such, I know this was worth the purchase :)

Review: Almay Smart Shade CC Cream & Mousse Makeup

I decided to go out on a whim (well because I got a $2 off coupon for Almay products at Target) and splurge on two new Almay face products from their smart shade line called the Almay Smart Shade CC Cream and the Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup. And let me just tell you, Almay isn't a cheap drugstore product. The CC Cream retails for $8.49 at Target and the Mousse Makeup is priced at $11.99. So let's get on to some swatches.
