Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: The MAC palettes I purchased from Ulta should be here, though I haven’t visually confirmed that (hubby often brings packages in).

Weekend plans: I’m headed out past Tucson, AZ this morning to transport a litter of 2-week old puppies to the rescue I volunteer with in Phoenix, so that’s about a 5-hour road trip (total). Hubby and I are agreed that there’s at least a 30-day break between fostering experiences, so I’m just the transporter for these babies, they already have fosters lined up! I’ll be catching up on some blogging this weekend, but thankfully, there isn’t too much to swatch from the past week!

Brag about something awesome in your life! I have a really amazing husband that I am so thankful to have. The whole fostering of pups thing is a me-project, and he tolerates because it makes me happy. With the recent mom + pups fostering, I did the majority of the work (which was the plan!), but while I was taking the pups back to the rescue yesterday, hubby completely took care of the puppy room. He broke everything down, got laundry going, cleaned all the potty boxes/fences/equipment, swept and vacuumed the floors, etc. I only asked if he could get a load of laundry going while I was gone, since there were going to be a few loads to do, but he did it all.

Psst… since it’s Friday and we’re heading into the weekend, if you have some downtime, consider playing one of the games hubby and I have created! You’ll find all of our games on Awordy, but here’s a breakdown of what we have so far:

Adoptle (guess the name of an adoptable pet in six guesses)
Concludle (figure out the subject within six clues)
Mislettered (guess one letter at a time to figure out the phrase/quote)
Word Frenzy (find as many words from the letters available before the shark devours them)

ColourPop Wine & Only Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Wine and Only ColourPop Wine and Only 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.36 oz.) is the newest release–and I think one of the last of the year–that includes a mix of shimmers and matte shades in a wine-inspired color story. The mattes were nicer than the shimmers, on the whole, though Grapeful has a ton of sparkle and not much that keeps it bound with the base, so that one had a lot of fallout. The shimmers were decent but did not perform as well as some past shimmers have from the brand. For those keeping count, there are a few Pressed Pigments, which come with the warning that they are not intended for use around the immediate eye area under FDA regulations, though these types of pigments are approved for usage on the eye in areas like the EU.

ColourPop That's Taupe Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

That's Taupe Colour Pop That’s Taupe 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a new, nine-pan palette that is taupe-themed. It includes five matte eyeshadows, three shimmer eyeshadows, and one Super Shock Shadow (Slated). The matte eyeshadows were fairly smooth and velvety, blendable, and easy to work with, while the shimmers were so-so. I found the shimmers to be drier and more prone to fallout and lacking shine unless applied with a dampened brush (which wasn’t always the case with ColourPop’s shimmer formula).
