Taken as a whole look, Unabashed is quite glam and really comes to life in the warm toned sunlight of late afternoon and on into the evening. My favorite makeup artist (Yes, Guerlain's Marcus Monson) taught me how to use a deep jewel tone with a neutral to create a stunning evening look that is Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-51987159705177262392014-04-21T11:31:27.073-04:002014-04-21T11:31:27.073-04:00What about releasing the pallete and selling it to...What about releasing the pallete and selling it to someone who enjoys these colors ...

I pased on this pallette but would love this blush in an individual compact. I do think the celestials should be identified clearly to consumers when buying online so they aren't so shocked when they arrive instead of a true shimmer eyeshadow.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966723236699116776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-29335758695087418772014-04-20T19:28:11.978-04:002014-04-20T19:28:11.978-04:00Thanks for reviewing this.
