My pick of the week is the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. I have been wearing this for a couple weeks now and it definitely has lived up to the hype for me. The shadows are pigmented, blend well, and have minimal fallout. Not only does this palette have beautiful shades like Love Letter a beautiful raspberry pink which are more vibrant, but the neutral shades like Burnt Sienna are beautiful. The Anastasia palette rarely disappoint me and this might have knocked my favorite Shadow Couture World Traveler down to second place! It is 42.00 and available at several retailers like Sephora.com as well as anastasiabeverlyhills.com.

My pick of the week is Notoriously Morbid and their Mystic Matte liquid lipsticks. I've had Notoriously Morbid as my pick of the week before with their amazing Duochrome lipstick changelings that makes any lipstick into a metallic Duochrome. I recently picked up some of their new liquid lipstick colors, one of them being Ethereal which is a gorgeous rose gold metallic matte that lasted through two meals. Another cool thing is that they brought back their duos. For 8.00 you get to choose two mini liquid lipsticks of your choice in mini sizes. It's a really nice way to try them or if you are like me and have to many as it is and need smaller sizes. You can check them out on notoriouslymorbid.com.

For those that bought the new Jaclyn Hill and Becca eyeshadow palette that was part of the new Champagne Glow collection I have some interesting news. The reviews for the palette have been quite bad, and apparently Jaclyn Hill and Becca Cosmetics have noticed. So according to Jaclyn Hills Snapchat the palette was not up to par and they are pulling it from stores and production. They will be offering refunds to those not happy with it.

My pick of the week is the new Black Moon Cosmetics Black Metal Trinity and Myth liquid lipsticks. I was lucky enough to to grab these at PHAMExpo and I'm so glad I did. The Black Metal trinity set includes three brand new shades in Sorrow a deep metallic shades in deep blue, Armageddon deep metallic burgundy reminiscent of OCC’s Black Metal Dahlia, and Immortal and deep purple with blue sparks. It came in beautiful packaging that Black Moon is known for and is 58.00. Myth which is offered outside of the trio is limited edition and is a deep emerald green and is my favorite of the four.
