Stila Kitten Eyeshadow

Ok, I caved. It seems that every beauty blog I read has some mention of Stila's Kitten eyeshadow. Now I know why, it is gorgeous. I love the pinky champagne color and the amazing shimmer/sparkle, it seems like it would suit a variety of skin tones.

 My only complaint is that if used without a primer you get some fallout, and you might have to clean up your under eyes after. But you can really use this everywhere, inner corner highlight, all over the lid, or  brow highlighter.

While it is on the expensive side at $18, you get 2.6 grams which is much more than MAC's 1.5 grams, I now understand why it is considered a 'cult classic' of the makeup world.

Foundation That is Better for Your Skin

When looking for a foundation, something we take for granted is the long term affect on our skin. Foundation with oil in it can end up clogging your pores and causing acne and other problems. A foundation without oil is non comedogenic, or not tending to clog pores. As someone with sensitive skin it is really important for me to make sure the foundation and concealer that I use is non comedogenic, otherwise, well... bad things happen. I noticed a vast improvement in my skin when switching to Tarte's Amazonian clay foundation from a drugstore one with oil in it. So if you feel like no matter how you change up your skin care routine, you are still having skin problems, check your makeup.

Here are some of my suggestions for an oil free foundation
