*Boudoir Eyes Palette
So far, I am loving this palette. The shades are all very wearable, and there is a nice mix of shimmer and matte shades. The first time I swiped the color on with my brush, I noticed immediately how saturated these shadows are- they really do have that velvet feel. The colors are very flattering- they seem to be the type of neutrals that would look nice on anyone. They also seem to draw attention to the eyes instead of drawing attention to the makeup, if that makes any sense. You can easily create the candlelit, smoky look with this palette, but they also seem fine for work, depending on how you apply them. Honestly, I think I could get by with just this palette and maybe my Celestine shadow from Bare Minerals for quite a while.
It gets an A from me!
The only downside I found is that for some reason, the crease colors don't seem to blend quite as well as my Laura Geller crease color I often use. I do have to work a little harder to get them to look right in that area, but it may just be me getting used to these particular shadows. It looks fine by the time I'm done, though.
*Sweethearts Blush
The second I saw this blush at Sephora.com, I knew I had to have it. I returned a blush I had bought the week before that was just okay to feel better about buying this one. But the second I put it on, it was love at first sight again! Since I've started wearing a tinted moisturizer (L'Oreal Youth Code), blush seems to cling to me so fast that it shows up way too dark, no matter how lightly I try to apply it. This one has an appealing mix of colors and sweeps on to leave a light, pretty flush that lasts ALL DAY.
A+
The only downside of this is that the packaging is a bit bulky... but it more than makes up for that with the cute factor and the quality of the product.

All in all, I highly recommend this brand from what I've seen so far!
