I've been on this unofficial quest to find a dupe for Ben Nye's Banana Powder. I love it, and it's a forever purchase, HG product, but good lordt is it hard to find. Of all the purchases, I'm sure I've bought some fakes too. I've tried a few different Banana Powders as dupes but neither of them hit the mark. Kat Von D's Brightening Powder is almost as good as Ben Nye's, but it's still a bit too white for me. Sadly, it looks like it's been discontinued!

The Bobbi Brown Crushed Lipstick Duos at Nordstrom are back! I picked these up a while back and they went out of stock so I didn't bother reviewing them... now that they're back I wanted to tell you all about them. You get two for one at $29 - a steal!

From March 1 through April 14, Nordstrom is having a "Natural Beauty" feature. It looks like they have brought in beauty conscious brands for this pop-in event, some of which I've never even heard of before. I'm not particularly picky about having natural ingredients in my beauty products, but there's something about the trend that's appealing. For me, it's the idea that there may be less ingredients, good natural ingredients, and none of the stuff folks say cause ailments. After scouring the site, I decided to share the products that stood out the most to me based on function and cost.
