she wears it well.

i was blown away with She Wears it Well, a fall eyeshadow palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills that was created to bring the beauty of hollywood's golden age to the modern girl. this mirrored palette consists of nine super versatile, matte and shimmery nudes and neutrals. these high-pigment shadows can be used wet or dry allowing you to create many different looks ranging from a natural daytime look to a dramatic evening look.  

 

i have been using She Wears it Well everyday, and there has been no shortage of combinations. i even tried a look without my eyeliner...which is something i never do.

mini-she says, "are you going for a natural look?!"

i look at her, and we both laugh. "i like it!" she says.

almond + toffee

frosting + sunset + glow

sunset all over, toffee to create the look of a crease

i am truly enjoying the colors and love that the shimmery shades continue to firm and hydrate my lids. i have yet to try the shadows wet, which i know will bring on a whole new level of intensity. if you want a palette that can take you from day to night, this is the one to try. it's only available for a couple more weeks, so i think i might stock up.

hurry and get yours, too!

*i received one palette in exchange for my honest review. all opinions are my own.

just fabulous.

a few things i'm loving right now...my j.crew and GAP shorts (they fit perfectly!) and this pink bag from justfab. although i tend to stick to neutral colored bags in browns and black, i do have a history of having pink bags. i've found that this soft shade of pink blends nicely with many outfits and lends a touch of color without being too obvious.

if you haven't heard of justfab, it's like having your own personal stylist. after taking a short quiz about your style, items are handpicked for your personalized boutique. shop your boutique and purchase any of the items for only $39.95 each. i'm always skeptical to join these programs because i'm unsure of the quality and selection of the items offered. having experienced justfab first hand, i can now say that the quality of the products, the selection of items, and the service at justfab is, well...just fabulous!
