eBeauty.ca has new products that are calling my name (not to mention free shipping and a kick ass contest)!

My friends at eBeauty have been busy getting in lots of new brands and products in the hopes of bankrupting me!  A couple of things I have my eye on:

Cargo Voyages Gloss Collection - $22 - what do I love better than a mini lipgloss? I can't think of anything so you can imagine how much I love this 5 gloss set!

Stila Haute in the Hamptons Travel Palette - $18 - with 4 shadows in: Sand, Linen, Route 27 and Blue Skies; a powder blush in Hydrangea; and a highlighter/bronzer in Montauk Highway - so tiny and cute and perfect for traveling - to the Hamptons maybe...?

And I'm excited to see that they are now carrying the incredibly cute Canadian line Pandora's Makeup Box!

Does Pandora's Makeup Box contain all the evils of the world? Not so much! Evilly adorable? Absolutely!

A couple of months ago I was checking out Murale and came across a line that I had never seen before but knew I had to find out more about!  Pandora's Makeup Box combines all of my favourite things -  a Canadian brand with adorable environmentally friendly packaging, beautiful colours and excellent quality!  I figured my vacation a couple of weeks ago was the perfect time to try out some of the products:

Travel Brush Set - $48 - includes brushes for blush, a flat shader eye, contoured eye, thin eye liner, spool and angled.  I must admit that I am normally not a fan of travel sized brushes.  I bought a MAC set a couple of years ago that I just hate - compared to regular sized brushes they just always seem so small and flimsy.  I have to say "normally" because the Pandora set is much nicer then any set I've come across before and when I use them I don't feel like all the hair is about to fall out or the handle is going to snap!  I have also incorporated the travel blush brush into my everyday makeup brushes - I usually find full sized blush brushes too big but this one is the perfect size!  And of course I love the pink case!

Eyeshadow - $48 - Forget Me Not Blue - did I tell you how much I love the packaging of this line?!  The flower you see on the top of the case is actually a clear cut out, so you can see the eye shadows when it's closed - cute and smart!  This is the only eyeshadow set I brought with me on vacation figuring it had all the colours I needed to create lots of different looks for day and night. The colours are soft and well pigmented and the staying power was impressive considering how hot it was during that week and that it was also beach makeup.  I actually even forgot a liner so ended up using the darkest blue to line as well as doing a really awesome blue smoky eye with it!  This was a really versatile set, if you are also a fan of blue shadows, I highly recommend it! If you don't like blue, no problem!  Not only are there pre-made 4-pallets available, but you can also custom make your own with eyeshadow, blush or a combination of both!

Lip Gloss - $16 - Guava - available in 17 colours  - this is a beautiful summer colour that gave me a bit of colour but was still neutral enough to wear with a heavier eye.

Anyone else seen/heard/tried this line?  I think these would make great presents for the girlie-girl in your life and of course yourself!

Pandora's Makeup Box is available at selected Murale stores and available online at www.pandorasmakeupbox.com
