Have you seen some of the fabulous holiday makeup collections that Target has to offer? Well I was perusing my local Target recently and saw allll kinds of things I wanted to get my mitts on, so I picked up a few.

One stand-out item is the NP Set Smoke Signals eyeshadow palette. This cute little set has 12 shimmery colors inside that run from dark to light and opaque to sheer.

This is my first experience with a set of NP shadows (though I do have a single one I love) and I was pretty impressed, especially for the price!

Are you a sucker for antique gold? Do you love colors that just shimmer and glow? Do you love when a product looks as good on the skin as it does in the packaging? Ladies & gentlemen I give you NARS Etrusque.

This is a new single eyeshadow from NARS for holiday 2010, and the color is beyond what I had hoped for. In fact I have worn this color more times in a 2 week period than perhaps any other eyeshadow in years!

Yay for coffee and waking up, woot! I am finally awake and feeling like a normal human being; for a Monday that is.

As you might know, the Sephora VIB 20% off sale is going on until tonight and I was able to grab a couple more items this weekend. Specifically I grabbed the Tokidoki Cromatico Adieu Eyeshadow Palette and also the Robbery palette (review coming soon).

Adieu is another 4 color palette that features some seriously glittery amazing colors in the purple range.

Oh and in case you need some back-story on who Adieu is as a character, she is the stylish Parisian cousin of Ciao Ciao.

Have you heard of Sleek Makeup? I hadn’t until my friend Helen told me about them recently. We did a swap and she sent me some of their palettes, since they aren’t that easy to get in the states (you can order from their website though).

Sleek Makeup is an inexpensive-ish brand from the UK. They offer a wide-range of products including some very cool twelve-piece eyeshadow palettes.

Helen thought I would love them because the colors are pretty, they feel great and are super opaque. She wasn’t exaggerating at all, these babies have major color payoff and feel like velvet!

There are five different palettes listed on their website now, but I have been told they do frequently come out with other, limited edition ones, which tend to sell out pretty quickly.

NYX’s One Night in Morocco smokey eye palette is infused with eight smokey colors from pale sand to deep black, and everything in-between. It’s also got a medium colored concealer and little surprise pull-out drawer with four sheer pink lip glosses.

What I love about this palette is the inclusiveness it offers. You have a variation of looks from light and natural to super dark and sultry, and I like that they include the glosses. The concealer is a cute idea, but pretty limited since it will only work for certain skin tones.

I love the packaging, the small yet thick and sturdy glossy black containers. A fairly large mirror. Very cute.
