| Simply Nudes 12-Color Eyeshadow Palette |
Simply Nudes 12-Color Eyeshadow Palette ($65 CAD):
Housed in a beautiful plastic case, the Simply Nudes Palette comes with 12 different shades, each weighing at one gram. The palette has a sleek and beautiful lid and inside is a really nice and large mirror. Also included is a duo-ended sponge applicator and blending brush.
If you've been following my blog for a while, you'd know that I absolutely adore Lise Watier shadow formulations and this palette did not fall short of my expectations. Each shade literally feels like cream and even the mattes are super buttery, not at all dry or chalky. In terms of pigmentation, all the shades are very good; however, I was hoping that there would be a couple more darker, more intense shades, as most of these colors are
very neutral.

Double Perfection Lift & Fill Eyebrow Duo in "Brun Universel" ($33 CAD):
This is a duo-ended brow product with one side holding a tinted brown gel and the other an illuminating stick. The brown gel actually has tiny little fibers that add volume to the brow. Unfortunately, the "
Brun Universel" shade is the darkest option offered, which is only a medium brown that's way too light for my black hair.

The included illuminating stick is incredibly sheer, with a super slippery and thin formulation that doesn't adhere very well to the skin. I personally prefer something with a good coverage that really highlights and lifts and a tackier formulation would stay put for a longer wear.

| Gourmand Lip Balm |
Baume Gourmand ($20 CAD each):
Packaged in an adorable matte orange and shiny silver bullet, these Gourmand Lip Balms have a ultra-slick and hydrating formulation infused with a hint of color. "
Rose" is a very soft sheer pink and "
Rouge" is a juicy and pretty natural red. Both shades have some shimmers but they are super subtle and barely noticeable on the lips. Because of the slick texture, these don't last very long; the wear is about two to three hours with no eating or drinking.
