All The Pretty Palettes

'Tis the season when we may be dressing up and going out a little more. Both require putting your best face forward. A pretty palette can effortlessly help you create unique looks for different occasions.  I played in the makeup aisles to find the best products for you.

Day & Light Eye Shadow Palette

I happen to own this limited edition palette. I wear every one of these colors. It is a marvelous mix of metallics and matte neutral shades. It actually is one of the best palettes I have ever owned. Highly recommended. Only $39.

Laura Geller Party in a Palette Set of 4 Full Face Palettes

Laura's baked powders are really great and finely milled. This has to be the best value of the season. You actually get four palettes. Each one is different. All of the blushes are matte. Add the glow from the highlighters in each palette. The shadows really last. Bonus is that this set is one of Oprah's Favorite Things for 2022. Keep one for yourself and gift the other three sets.

Oh my goodness! As I type this post, Mother Nature is blanketing Chicago with about 9 inches of snow, and more to come. Are you as done with Winter as I am?

this Winter weather.

This Valentine's and #Galatine week,  is suppose to be all about love and roses. Of course that isn't realistic for everyone. No relationship is perfect—and even our very closest, best-of-best-friends-forever bonds can deeply disappoint us, or, worse, break apart. I really enjoyed Goop's article: "Moving on From Adult Friendship Breakups." Maybe you will, too.

It's too darn snowy to head to the mall for some of us. Macy's is having a sweet one day Valentine's Day Sale. I found Hue's denim leggings at $14 off. They are having a great sale on beauty, too. Urban Decay's Vice Lip Color is now only $8.50, and I found beauty bargains on Benefit Cosmetics, StriVectin, Laura Geller & more. It all ends Saturday night.

Feathers and Fringe. They are "a thing" for Spring. I loved the edit at Bergdorf Goodman. Some of it is wearable right now, like The Row's Clutch Bag and Marchesa Notte's  Fringe Column Dress

Do you want to send something sweet across the miles this Valentine's Day? The cakes at Neiman Marcus are some of my faves. We have ordered many over the years. Now tell me, how chic is the MacKenzie-Childs Check Cake?
