Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette

This is the worst of the Naked palettes. Thankfully I got this on sale. I wouldn't pay more than the 50% off retail price for this.
The brush that it comes with is terrible. Very uneven application; they should have kept the brush used for Naked 1.
The other major problem is lack of pigmentation and shadow fall out. Some colours are pretty and would be an awesome base lid colour like Password, but the application is so uneven! The darker shadows are a little better.
Definitely skippable.

I'm not a fan. Marc Jacobs makeup is expensive and while his eyeliner is a holy grail product, the lipstick is not.
Colours are pigmented upon application and apply smoothly. Thin application as opposed to creamy. However, they don't last! It fades incredibly quickly and I get the rim around my lips as a result. There are much better options on the market in my opinion.

This is an amazing primer. I totally notice it if I skip using it. It applies smoothly and is quite thin in consistency. A bottle lasts about 4 months for me with daily use.
My skin looks amazing in photos with this. It just blurs everything. In real life, the shine control is good. My foundation actually stays put and doesn't transfer off. Minimal blotting required. Also great for looking okay after a workout and in the rain.
It's super pricey but absolutely a must-have in my makeup box!

Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner

I LOVE this eyeliner! I first tried it as the b-day sample from Sephora and I liked it so much that I've bought the full size. I fell in love with gel liners years ago and normally use MAC Fluidline or Bobbi Brown, but the pot and brush are a bit cumbersome for travel. This combines the awesome application and waterproof benefits of those in the convenience of a pencil. It really does not budge - I wear this after working out and it's still perfectly on. Worth every penny. Great colour selection too! -
Lärabar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bar
I like to have snack bars when on the go. Larabars are nice since they have healthy ingredients and no funny additives. The taste is okay and could be a bit sweeter, but I think they're a dense source of nutrition that is great when you're on the go.

Fantastic gadget!
Bought one during the Amazon black Friday sale and it's been so nice to have. It has replaced my rice cooker and slow cooker. I love how I can make a slow cooker type meal in a fraction of the time. So far, stews, chilis and pulled pork type of dishes have turned out well, and I also like it to make hard boiled eggs.
I don't find it quite as good as my previous rice cooker and I find it needs more water to get the rice at a nice consistency, but once I figured out how much to add, it's been much better.
However, I love that it's a versatile appliance that multi-tasks!

One of my favorite lotions!
It's on the pricey side but a little goes a long way. I love that it is non-irritating and it really somehow replenishes the lipids in the skin. It's an absolute lifesaver for me if I have over-exfoliated or used to much of a retinoid cream. My skin will get too tight and dry - this fixes it up overnight. Also amazing on my baby/toddler. Penetrates the skin and does not leave a sticky residue.

Clue Board Game
Love this board game! It was a childhood favorite and I still love it now! Fun, great for groups of different size. I even loved watching the Clue movie back in the day :)

Crayola makes excellent chalk. Nice colours, although some are a little hard to see, and the wide chalk lasts a long time and is harder to break. I've even dropped it a few times and it's remained intact. It's more expensive than other brands but totally worth the money. If you have space, it often goes on clearance at the end of the season and you can get it for an amazing price. -

Great memories of my childhood!
This toy has been around forever. Minor changes have been made over the years, but it's still a classic. My toddler played with this around 9 months to 1.5 years and it's a great toy. Easy to clean and grasp. As babies become more coordinated, the stacking is great for hand-eye coordination. The rocking is also an added bonus and the bright colours are nice for babies.
