Top 10 Must Have Palettes for the New Year!

I love a good makeup palette. It really is the best way to get a lot of makeup at a great value. And this is the time of year when brands are releasing some of their best products, including some really amazing makeup palettes. From palettes with new shades of eye shadow, popular shades of shadow, great shades of blush or contouring products, or even an entire face of makeup; palettes have SO much to offer. I have so many palettes in my makeup collection and I am always adding to it. These are the palettes that I have picked up or that have caught my eye so far this year and I consider them must haves for 2015!

The stars were out on the red carpet last night for the Golden Globe Awards. It is one of my favorite award shows.

Can you believe that Tarte Cosmetics is celebrating 15 years of being in the beauty business? While they do't seem that "old" they do seem like they have been around forever.

It doesn't hurt that they make some really amazing products too! To celebrate their 15 amazing years in business, Tarte has launched a limited edition Tartelette Anniversary Collection.

My 5 Favorite Bubble Baths.

Today is National Bubble Bath Day. If you are not a purveyor of the bubble bath, you don't know what you are missing. I love myself a good bubble bath. In fact, I take a bubble bath a few times a week. Soaking in the tub in a bath full of bubbles helps me rewind and relax -- I love it.

MAC Studio Conceal + Correct.

When it comes to making up your face, the foundation + concealer and perfecting it before anything is the basis for a flawless look. The pros use a myriad of tools to perfect the skin. Creams, pencils and more in different shades of colors to make the skin look flawless before foundation. In fact, if its done properly, you will need less foundation becasue skin will look perfect with just this step. The problem is finding out what products to use and where. Well, MAC just launched an entire collection devoted just to perfecting this. It's called MAC Studio Conceal & Correct. And it really is just like the pros use backstage and on movie sets and such. And it is easy to use with the right tools (brushes) at home so your face can be just as flawless too.
