I purchased the Calily Essential Oil Starter Pack on Groupon. It amazes me what I can find on that website. I previously purchased the NOW Essential Oil three pack. Brands give you what they feel are the most popular essential oils in the starter packs.


I have a lot of shea butter to use this Winter. Now I can make my own scented shea butter. I am really happy with this purchase. Not bad for under $20
Lavender, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus
Peppermint, Sweet Orange, Tea Tree




Hikari Cosmetics Cream Metallic Pigment Shadow – Mink
theBalm Cosmetics Mr. Write (Now) – Jack B. Brown
Peek Beauty Natural Stain Brow Powder – Espresso



Eyeko Fat Liquid Liner – Black
Ciate` London Mini Paint Pot – Access All Areas
The Winter months do have me fighting extra hard to maintain beautiful skin. Coastal Scents is currently having another sale on their website.
This time around I purchased the cocoa butter and more black soap. I am continuing the non ashy Winter theme. The cocoa butter is a nice addition.


Here is another eyeshadow sample. Little gestures like this mean a lot to me. 🙂
Each Holiday Season I make it a point to treat myself. For the past few years I have splurged on an eyeshadow palette. Initially I really wanted to purchase the Vice 4 Palette from Urban Decay. I got my money’s worth out of the Vice 2 and Vice 3 Palettes. I didn’t see myself being able to pull off many of the colors from the Vice 4 Palette. Maybe if I was a little younger. It’s still a beautiful palette though. When you spend more than $50 on a palette that splurge is also an investment. I really wanted to use the 20% off coupon from ULTA especially since it could be used on prestige makeup.



It was such a surprise to see a Shade Play Artistic Eye Color Palette from Em Cosmetics with my ipsy bag. I received the Dublin Khakis Palette. I already knew this would be a quality palette. I already own the Life Palette Moment Holiday Life: New Year’s Countdown.
