Our favorite palette that gives a good photo obsessed diva her limelight is YSL Ombres 5 Lumieres $58 in shade Midnight Garden. The shadows mixes are sheen, shimmer, metallic and a touch of matte.

 

 

Our favorite collection that has just about everything you need is bareMinerals Feel the Love 7-piece Collection $76.82. You have to love the fact that the brand shades caters to the fair ladies all the way to the deeper brown shades. Here’s the full collection details

When it comes to nail colors and long lasting wear you want to make sure you find a brand that provides both. Sometimes it’s hard to break the happy of the budget brands because at the end of the day we know it’s not breaking our clutch bag. But for a splurge shopping experience we love Julep Everyday Essentials 3-piece Nail Wardrobe $25. These shades are worth it for being transitional from day to night and you can rock them all seasons. And most important the lacquers last a decent time add a gel or a good top coat as an overall protection (Sally Hansen is my choice)
