New smudger brush


I just got this from the brunette blonde redhead collection. I like it because it's a bit bigger and stiffer than the 228 which I use a lot for smudging around eyes and detail work in inner V of eye. I can get alot more product on this brush and it's really good at getting that smokey eye effect.

coastal scents!




Was a bit unsure of this company. I know that the palettes are all over the web and lots of girls do videos with these, but I also know that they are sent these for free and that can sometimes skew a makeup review. So for 22.00 I thought what the hell and ordered the original one and some gel liners that looked pretty. I was really pleasantly surprised that the shadows ARE very good quality and the liners and just as good as the M-A-C fluidline. The downside is the size of each shadow is small, but enough to play with. The liners are on the smaller size too but are less than half the price of M-A-C. The colors blend really really nicely and are highly pigmented. For the price, you can't go wrong. these is a great palette for a beginner or someone not sure if they want to bright colors and just want to play.

Waiting for FEB 12- Hello Kitty!


Very excited about this collection! Colors are some repromotes of LE shadows but the packaging is really cute and there is so much hype about this that I even took the morning off work to make sure I can get my hands on what I want. Nothing sadder than being told something is sold out. I have heard some negitivity about the shadows being chalky and not a lot of color payoff, but I can't tell until I see it in person and swatch it myself. Will post whatever I buy for sure!
