NEW from Smashbox: Double Exposure Palette

Looky looky, a new palette from Smashbox. It's the sequel to their original Full Exposure Palette that was released earlier this year. While the Full Exposure Palette contained more cool toned shadows, the Double Exposure Palette is much warmer. To be honest, this palette is right up my ally. I love purples and rich browns not to mention though gorgeous pink salmon shades.  

The palette is currently only available to VIP Rouge members on sephora.com but it will be released to general public soon enough.

So, enough of all that. Let's get into the nitty gritty!

From sephora.com

Double Exposure Palette
$60 CA on sephora.com
14 x 0.59 oz (eyeshadow)
0.13 oz (mascara)
14 eyeshadow: Silver, Mauve, Peony, Blanc, Quartz, Flushed, Veiled, Midnight, Temper, Haze, Noir, Copper, Fig, Espresso 

What it is:
An eye palette with 14 shadows that transition into 28 shades when you add water.

What it does:
This innovative eye palette features coated pigments formulated with coating technology to create multiple effects when wet, allowing the shadows to transform in one of four ways—allowing these 14 shadows to become 28 shades in just one palette. When wet, these colors amp up vibrancy, become deeper, turn metallic, or create sparkle for endless, customizable eye looks.

Apply eye shadows with the foolproof, double-ended brush. The domed in brush absorbs just the right amount of water for impactful color while the angled side creates a precise line when wet, a diffused line when dry. Then elevate looks for your eye shape with the #SHAPEMATTERS insert, featuring how-to’s for six shapes. Top off your looks with the included, Full Exposure Mascara, in a bonus, five-week supply.

This set also contains: 

• Full Exposure mascara
• Double-ended brush
• #SHAPEMATTERS how-to’s insert

NEW from Lise Watier: Aurora Winter 2014 Collection

Would you get a load of this?! These gorgeously packaged beauties is from the Canadian beauty brand Lise Watier's Aurora Winter 2014 Collection. It's inspired by the aurora borealis or better known as the Northern Lights here in Canada.

While I love the concept of creating a palette around a Canadian phenomenon, I do take issue with the colour choices. Where is the vibrant green? The northern lights are known for their majestically glowing and ever moving neon green lights. Not one product in the entire line is green...

Now that I have that off my chest, let's look further into the collection. 

It includes one palette of six eyeshadows, two individual eyeshadows, a liquid eyeliner, a kohl eye liner, a eye shine eyeliner, a blush, a lipstick and lastly a lip gloss. Whew. That's what I call a complete collection.
