Retro vibe 

A new eyeshadow palette is upon us thanks to Natasha Denona! The brand just dropped the Retro Eyeshadow Palette ($65), which is a retro version of the cult favorite Glam Eyeshadow Palette. The Retro Eyeshadow Palette features 15 romantic burgundy and mauve shades that are combined with taupes, dusty roses, pinks, and browns.

Cinn-ful 

Throwing another eyeshadow palette into the mix is Too Faced with their Cinnamon Swirl Eye Shadow Palette ($49). This limited edition palette includes 18 cinnamon roll-scented, sweet and spicy shades that are rich, warm, and toasty. Well, now I’m craving for a cinnamon roll. 

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next Friday!
