What is “Book of Shadows”? Some would guess it’s a tome of black magic. Others might guess it’s something Harry Potter and his posse study from at Hogwarts.
Neither guess is correct. As part of their holiday 2008 collection, Urban Decay has introduced this palette– packed with 16 of their famously high-pigment shadows, including 9 best selling shades like Last Call, Grifter, Baked, Smog, Roach, Midnight Cowboy, Goddess, Shattered and Perversion. This shadow book also includes 7 new shades that are exclusive to this palette: Mayhem (deep purple), Sidecar (bronze sparkle), Gridlock (medium brown), Scandal (peachy-pink), Absinthe (electric green), Protest (dark green) and Shakedown (Shimmering Taupe). Matte to shimmering, pale to dark, this shadow palette has every color option covered.
In an ironic twist, the overall appearance of Urban Decay’s Book of Shadows is cheerful. The lavender case has a flip-up lid that reveals a mirror for on-the-go application, and pop-ups of Urban Decay graphics. Sure… there are a few obligatory skulls, but the butterflies, diamonds and flowers always bring a smile to my face.
Two cruelty-free brushes and a travel size Eyeshadow Primer Potion make the set complete!
Retail price is $45

Once upon a blue moon, powder was my favorite beauty item. In my early teens, I purchased huge jars of loose powder with huge powder puffs for application.
The advent of dewy youthful skin put and end to all that matte perfection… and women everywhere swore off powder.
Think you're done with powder forever? Think again! Cargo's new PlantLove pressed powders don't apply looking powdery or pasty. This pressed powder melts into the skin, leaving it looking radiant and fresh, but playing down shine at the same time.
The PlantLove line is also a great gift idea for the environmentally aware women in your life. The product, packaging and manufacturing are all eco-friendly. PlantLove is 100% natural. No parabens, phthalates or synthetic ingredients are used. No animal testing is conducted. The packaging is even made from plants!

I’ve written about Jelly Pong Pong in the past, but must confess I initially brushed off the brand as an adorable novelty, rather than a serious cosmetic contender. Two recent product samples have this beauty blogger rethinking that opinion and Nude and Improved is one of them!
This shadow primer, in a hard-to-find pencil form, is a great solution for women who aren’t fond of liquid primers. It’s a snap to apply, simply draw onto lids and blend with a fingertip. Coverage is incredibly easy to control, and shadow appears more vibrant and lasts forever when applied over it.
But wait… there’s more! This handy little pencil isn’t just a primer, but can act as a concealer too! Retail price is 12 GBP on the Jelly Pong Pong website, for my Brit chick readers. Yankee girls can find it at Cherry Culture for $15.
