I was so excited to hear the butter LONDON — one of my favorite nail polish brands — have created powder eye shadow palettes! And was extremely excited to receive some of the shadows for review!
The palettes are called ShadowClutch ($39 USD) — They come in two beautiful neutral collections of shades, Natural Charm and Pretty Proper (from left to right). An ever-expanding wardrobe of flexible colour options at your fingertips, the butter LONDON ShadowClutch Palettes provide six primer-infused, oil absorbing, skin-balancing shadows that pack on true colour payoff. Show one off or layer them on with seamless blendability; you’ll crave the luxe range of irresistible go-to hues and textures. All this in a chic, customizable clutch that comes pre-packed with either cool or warm tones, featuring a unique, dual-ended brush for limitless colour potential and eye-popping style.
Butter LONDON ShadowClutch Duos
Butter LONDON ShadowClutch Duos ($15 USD) — Customize your ShadowClutch Palette with covet-worthy pops of colour! Style them individually or layer them together, these vivid, decadent shades are meant to take your look to the next level. Slide them in and out of your ShadowClutch Palette for an ever-expanding wardrobe of flexible colour options.
The shades from left to right are Up All Night, Moody Blues, Sassy Pants and Fancy Flutter.
Here are my swatches. The top two are from the ShadowClutch duo Fancy Flutter. The bottom six are from the ShadowClutch palette Pretty Proper. The shades top to bottom are Feather, Plume, Chantilly Lace, Suede, Brocade, Cashmere, Satin and Velvet.
There is a nice mix of matte and shimmer. The colors are very well pigmented and last a long time with the use of a primer. The palette includes a double ended brush that works well with the shadows, they are silky and glide on nicely. Plus, the neutral shades are perfect for fall.

Today was a beautiful day in Kansas City, in the 6o’s. But it will really start feeling like November this week with highs in the 30’s…brrr!
I am really thinking about giving extra moisture to my skin and getting ready for winter.
I have been loving a very moisturizing CC Cream, a thickening hair collection, eye serum, fab makeup wipes, fun makeup and ingrown hair inhibitor wipes:
Nordic Beauty Broad Spectrum SPF 30 CC Cream
Nordic Beauty Broad Spectrum SPF 30 CC Cream ($130 4 oz) — an easy to apply non-greasy, anti-aging, natural coverage, matte Broad Spectrum SPF 30 CC Cream which helps to protect skin from UVA & UVB rays utilizing the safest and most natural form of zinc oxide available without using synthetic sunscreens.
What I think: This is a very luxe, thick cream. It seems like a tinted moisturizer for dry skin more than a makeup to me. It would be perfect for someone who wants a heavier day cream with SPF. It does sink into the skin and leaves a pretty glow.
Kerastase Densifique 3-Step Regimen — ($143.50 USD) — a new collection that
counters the loss of density, shine and resilience for women who are
battling the effects of ‘life stressed hair.’ This can mean physical side
effects of divorce, a stressful career or a multitude of health and
hormonal shifts which occur as women age. Unlike prescriptions or
over-the-counter remedies aimed at hair loss, Densifique’s in-salon or
at-home regimen is suitable for anyone. The at-home collection includes
Densifique Bain Densité, Densifique Masque Densité and Densifique
Densimorphose Mousse, a decadent, skin-care inspired rich mousse instantly
transforms the hair, fiber by fiber for visible voluminous results.
What I think: This is a great system for women who find that their hair is thinning with age. I have been using it for a couple of weeks, and although my hair isn’t thicker yet, the mousse does help it appear fuller! I am hoping to see more results in the next few weeks. I do notice that my hair looks healthier and shinier, which I love!
AHAVA Dead Sea Osmoter Eye Concentrate Youth & Cellular Energizing Serum ($50 USD) — Silk-textured and lightweight, this clinically tested* re-energizing eye serum illuminates, smoothes and beautifies the delicate eye zone. Infused with Persian Silk & Siegesbeckia Orientalis Extracts this formula will help to strengthen the dermal structure, fight signs of fatigue/stress and reduce dark circles. The Cucumber and Aloe Vera will help to calm the skin and reduce puffiness, while the Bird of Paradise Extract corrects discolorations and restores luminosity, promoting radiance for a more rested, youthful appearance. In a series of independent studies on 36 women over the course of 4 weeks, 81% reported the eye area looked refreshed and agreed the serum visibly improved the eye area.
What I think: This lovely eye serum is so soothing on! I have noticed that my eyes look fresher and smoother after using this product. I have only been using it for about a week, so I do not see improvement in my dark circles yet, but I’m hopeful.

butter LONDON Scrubbers Makeup Remover Wipes
butter LONDON Scrubbers Makeup Remover Wipes ($15 for 15 wipes) — Gently cleanse and wipe away dirt, oil and makeup with Scrubbers Makeup Remover Wipes. Luxourious and ultra-soft, these double-sided wipes contain natural botanical extracts of rice, sunflower and rosemary to cleanse and soothe even the most sensitive skin. Lightly quilted on one side, these wipes scrub away even the most stubborn shades, while the smooth side cleanses and soothes. These individually-wrapped world travelers will become the superstars of your cosmetic bag.
What I think: Loving these! Although these have natural ingredients (which sometimes irritate my skin) and scrubbers on one side, these are so refreshing and calming at the same time. Plus with the scrubbers, they remove all of my makeup, which is rare with makeup removing wipes. I will be purchasing these again.
Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color ($7 USD) — This long-lasting, fade-resistant, mineral-based formula delivers weightless, high-impact color in one swipe with a natural, luminous finish that looks gorgeous on any skin tone.
Mary Kay At Play Eye Crayon ($10 USD) — Lightweight, ultra creamy texture glides on smoothly for intense, true-color payoff that doesn’t fade.
Mary Kay At Play Jelly Lip Gloss ($10 USD) — Lip sync to full-on glossy goodness with a fun jelly texture.
What I think: All three of these products together make a fun fall or holiday look. The silver shadow can be a soft wash of color or layered for more sparkle. Rim your eyes with the eye crayon for a smoky look, or all over for more drama. I love the lip gloss for a great everyday lippy. It is a little bit sticky, but has really good color.
Whish Flawless Swipes ($7 (8pk) / $22 (30pk)) — Our amazingly effective and popular Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum in a new and easy to use delivery system. Perfect for your entire body or spot treating affected areas, you will easily banish the curse of ingrown hairs and bumps. This deliciously fresh smelling formula uses clinically proven active ingredients that restore your skin’s suppleness and weakens hair follicles, inhibiting future growth. You won’t need to kiss a frog to break the “bump” cures. Just a swipe of Flawless to restore smooth skin.
What I think: These lightly cucumber-scented gel-wipes are so cool. You smooth them over any red bumps or ingrown hairs in areas that you shave (bikini areas, thighs) and skin is smoother! I have used these a couple of times and have noticed that the bumps are less noticeable.
How’s your summer going? Mine is heating up again and I am on vacation this coming week — yay! I am going to hang out with my kids before they go back to school the week after. Fun!

This fun, fresh new flavor is unlike anything you’ve ever tried before. Tested on family members – not on animals.
What I think: I have been using Carmex in the pot since the ’90’s and love how it moisturizes my lips. I didn’t know it came in different flavors and am enjoying the Lime Twist. It is a refreshing addition to the Carmex line and is perfect for the summer, especially with SPF 15!

What I think: I love spray sunscreen, but have never tried an unscented one before. I like it because it is sheer and not greasy at all. And it is nice to get a break from heavily scented sunscreen. Just spray and go!
butter LONDON Bit Faker Cream Bronzer ($24 USD) –butter LONDON Bit Faker Cream Bronzer
What I think: This matte cream bronzer is an easy way to add some color this summer (or all year ’round). It is very natural looking. You can use it all over for a sunny glow. I like to use it as contour. I apply it in the hollows of my cheeks and along my jawbone for definition and shadows. It is easy to build up darker color if you wish.
Algenist Hydrating Essence Toner ($25 USD 5 fl. oz.) –This hydrating toner combines alguronic acid with witch hazel and chamomile to tone and soothe skin gently, creating a complexion that appears revitalized, brightened, and softened. The formula replenishes and balances skin’s moisture levels, purifies, and prepares skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more efficiently.
What I think: I love using toners in the summer. I have been keeping this in the refrigerator to keep my skin cool. I have noticed that my kin feels cleaner and softer while using this.
