I have been playing with the zillion eye shadows that I own and learned that L'Oreal owns Urban Decay. I own these palettes - La Palette Nude 1 and La Palette Nude 2 so I would not pay the extra difference in price between UD = $54.
The design of the palettes are so similar and since I rarely finish a product it would not make sense for me to spend the extra for the name & I find UD has too much glitter for me.  But Ulta has a version of this type of palette & here are some of the colors:
The Ulta palette:
L'Oreal:
Very similar and I am all about back ups!

I bought this bright eye shadow palette for spring & summer and never used it!
 
 I bought this palette for just a couple of colors ~
So with your permission, I will wait and review it next year!!
I am in love with lavender & plum shades this time of year.

I have not been a fan of the eye pencils (crayons) but this color "Strawberry Milk"
 from NYX has a nice sheen without shimmer - makes it easy to reach the inside corner  of the eyes.
I love these earrings but forgot I had them - the little pearls are the color of the above eye pencil! I love wearing pink with gray which is great for this time of year.

In the post below I shared some of the colors of nail polish I am using & someone wanted to know if they are 'my' nails.  Yes, they are - I broke my back last year and got out of the habit of going to the nail salon -it was just too painful to sit for over an hour to do gel nails.  But if I could find a great salon I could be enticed to return!!

Sept 1 for me is officially time to put out the fall wreath;
I am definitely doing a larger bow next year.  But since I am creating a new design for this year's Christmas tree I have to get started - I realize it seems early to most people but as a daily migraineur I lose a lot of days where nothing gets done.  Luckily most of my family & friends understand when they see a dozen projects scattered around but it just can't be helped.  But honestly I would clean up if you were coming over!!!!!

The leaves are changing in the NC mountains so come and enjoy if you can!

    These palettes are so pretty! I rep a company called Younique and we just came out with some pretty eyeshadows. I just got mine untidy and can't wait to play with it.

    Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you Thursday.

    I smile because my makeup fits in a little round tin. Gorgeous colors that's for sure! The leaves are turning here in UT as well, and what a glorious site. In Oct. hubby and I are taking a fall trip to New England. I just can't wait! Your wreath is perfect to welcome Fall. Terrible that you broke your back. Had to be very painful! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

    I have no idea what to do with a double ended brush, but a good thing to find out. All of these products look fun to try.

    What a great idea to use pearls for storing and holding up makeup brushes. Stealing this idea.
