      I like the Wizard of Oz inspired palette, No Place Like Home. Most of their palettes are cute and must-haves.

        Definitely on my wishlist . This year I’ve been more excited by indie brands more than the stuff at Sephora. Theres some really creative and cool palettes from indie companies.

  2. Some of these products really look great, and there are some really nice colours 🙂 From someone who doesn’t know too much about makeup, may I ask possibly if you post products from small businesses because if so I will check some of these out 🙂

      Most of the brands are small/indie businesses ☺️. The only “mainstream” brands is Morphe and Juvia’s Place but the price points are affordable which is one of my goals for this blog.
