LORAC Nude Skinny Palette!

Hey guys!

So I just bought online the LORAC Nude Skinny Palette for $15 dollars (originally $133)! this great deal is part of the +Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which will probably end soon
The first time I checked online, this palette was sold out which was a total bummer. but not today!
I've been searching for a great neutral palette with a cheap price and this palette might be exactly what I've been searching for. it has 7 shades: 3 are matte, 3 are shimmery, and there is 1 highlighting color. (s/o to Jen +From Head To Toe  who featured this palette in her NORDSTROM Anniversary Sale Haul vid)
It's really similar to the Naked Basics Palette which has 6 matte shades... but the price is $28. you do the math.
In terms of color, the LORAC Palette has a lot more warm colors and tones which will (hopefully) go great with my skin tone. both come with a big mirror which is a plus, but no space for an eye shadow brush...  I guess that's what you get with a skinny or smaller version.
Also, for price comparison, the original Naked Palette is $54 for 12 shades.

I really hope this palette is everything I've been wanting
Can't wait to try it out

Edit
So I've had this palette for almost 3 years now. The fourth shadow in is definitely my favorite. It's dark enough for me to even use as a faux-contour. And because it's an eyeshadow, it's highly blendable. Because I seldom wear makeup, I haven't hit pan yet but it's still something I gravitate towards.

Tomi Lahren Speaks with Trevor Noah

Image
I've only seen a couple segments of Tomi's show "Final Thoughts" via Facebook. But she recently talked with Trevor Noah on "The Daily Show" which I wanted to give my two cents on. During the interview, Tomi related rioting, looting, and burning in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement to it's platform. According to it's website, Black Lives Matter  is "a call to action and a response to virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society." Nowhere on  the website did it tell it's followers to riot, loot, or burn.  The thing is, anyone can say they are doing something in the name of something else. And in fact that has happened! Let's not forget the Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church Shooting. In 2008, Jim Adkisson, who was a devout right-winger, walked into a church and started shooting at children. He did so because of the church's liberal teachings. In his suicide note he said, "liberals are evil... ...

The Flu

I recently read an article about how a 4-year-old died from the flu in Colorado. At the end of the article, the mom states, "... and it feels like we failed him because we did what we had to do." Worried, and searching for advice, this mom tried Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Elderberry, and Zinc. And despite these remedies recommended by fellow members of a Facebook group, her son didn't survive. But what if I told you, she had already took her son to the doctor? How the doctor already prescribed Tamiflu , but she didn't pick it up. How those recommendations for Vitamin C "until diarrhea," and peppermint oil didn't break her son's fever that caused a seizure. The fact is this Anti-Vax Facebook group and mother did fail her son. What's the point of going to the doctor if you aren't going to follow his recommendations and prescriptions? "I am a momma freaking out all alone in this, with a family who believes in [no] natural ways... they are m...

Things that Should be Left Behind in 2020

Tanning Salons As a 5 billion dollar industry, it's no wonder that tanning salons still exist. I've only ever gotten a spray tan (and a free one at that), but I could never imagine exposing my skin to a tanning bed knowing what I know. Tanning salons are everywhere and even my gym has tanning beds for people to use! According to the  American Academy of Dermatology , if used before the age of 35, indoor tanning bed increase the risk for melanoma by 59%. It also has a compound effect, putting you at higher risk each time you tan. The UV light from a tanning bed is a known carcinogen and therefore, it's the AADA stance that "no person or facility should advertise the use of any UVA or VB tanning device using working such as 'safe,' 'safe tanning,' 'no harmful rays,' 'no adverse effect,' or similar working or concepts." My promise to myself in 2020 is that I will never go into a tanning bed. Smoking Cigarettes I'm lucky enoug...
