Went through all my shadows and came across the limited edition hello kitty and Wonder Woman palettes. Now it's time to put them to use again! : )

Tinted Moisturizers
It's that time of year! Extreme heat and high humidity. As the weather changes like most of us so does our makeup routine. From the more heavy foundations to light moisturizers.I have a few moisturizers that works extremely well with the change of weather. The first one that is alway a staple in my kit is the MAC Face and Body foundation in C5. Although it is promoted as a foundation it is definitely a tinted moisturizer in my eyes. This gives you that summer glow and is very light in consistency. Sets very fast so I wouldn't recommend it as a multilayer product. The second one that I use is the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in Sand. This is light weight and would recommend on a cool day. Doesn't last as long as I would like. But when in a rush it does the job. The last one that I REALLY like and is new to my kit is the Cargo tinted moisturizer in TM-02 Nude. After 2-3 uses of this product I fell in love. : ) This is basically the MAC face and body and the Laura Mercier combined. Has the consistency of the Laura Mericer and staying power of the MAC. Highly recommend this product for summer time use. With this 90 degree weather in NYC. It has not budged. Definitely a staple to my collection now.

MY EYESHADOW COLLECTION
I have been building my collection for a while now and realized now " I think I should slow down" lol. I have a good amount of eyeshadows now and realize that I really do use everything I have which is definitely a plus. At the beginning of my collection I focused on MAC eyeshadows because the range of colors and it was easier for me to get to a MAC store. After I really got into makeup it is then I started looking into other brands that were equally or better than MAC eyeshadows.
Coastal Scents is a really good brand also but you don't get enough product. They are dime size eyeshadows in the palette I have ( 36 smokey eye palette ). The color payoff is not bad at all but I personally do not like the smell. And especially if I have to apply it on my face.
Too Faced eyeshadow that I have is the romantic palette which I depotted the palette. I really love the colors but they are very chalky. Being chalky can take up time also trying to clean off excess eyeshadow off the face or having to re-apply a concealer.
There are plenty of other brands out there that I have swatched in stores but just didn't like. And for the prices of most of them were just OUTRAGEOUS : ( . I wasn't wowed by Urban Decay when I tried there naked palette because I basically had dupes for all the colors from MAC. But when I received the 15th anniversary eyeshadow collection I was in heaven : )
My absolutely favorite brand for eyeshadows is Inglot. I did a lot of research and held off as long as I could to get them in IMATS NYC 2011. When me and my friend got to IMATS..... when that door opened the first stop was INGLOT. We both got a 20 palette cause I believe it was 30% off.
Ingot eyeshadows are AMAZING! Very pigmented, very easy to blend and good quantity for the $. To achieve a MAC color that is in the pan you have to pass it over about 2-3 times I can never get the color pay off with just one pass of the brush. Although I love the colors they have it is double the work. With ingot eyeshadows it only takes 1 time to get that color payoff. I LOVE IT : ) less time consuming.......especially if I am working on a client.
