I heard about shu uemura Glow On blush and thought the colors were beautiful (especially Vicious Apricot, a luminous pink-coral), but I didn’t see it on anyone until today – it is the most natural and vibrant blush I’ve ever seen. It is extremely finely milled, so the color simply blends into your skin instead of sitting on top of it. I can’t wait to try it. Available at Sephora for $21.

Hard Candy Kaleidoscope Eye Palette is an adorable set of nine eye shadows in very wearable hues. What I really like about this palette is that they all look usuable – not the standard palette that one eye shadow works for you and the rest don’t. You have highlight, crease, and smokey eye colors – all in one handy, cute kit. And it’s pretty reasonable too – at $22, it comes to $2.44 per shadow – can’t beat that price.
