Hey, Dolls!
I've been hauling again, the last two months I picked up some new eyeshadow palettes that were on sale and a couple of pigments. If I never buy another eyeshadow or pigment ever again, I will be set for life but yet I keep on buying... (shrugs) I can't resist a sale or a brightly, pigmented eyeshadow.
Here's what I bought...
COASTAL SCENTS CREATIVE ME PALETTE #1
Every now and then Coastal Scents will have a really good sale on palettes and they were offering this palette for $7.95 each, it's regularly $14.95. The Creative Me #1 palette consists of 12 matte shades, the shades are good for those who love brightly colored looks. I have a friend who is also a MUA and she's used this palette before on photo shoots...she said it worked really well.
I bought two, one for myself and one for my kit. I swatched all 12 shades. The first row is kinda iffy, the shades don't swatch that well and their chalky (you'll definitely need a white base for the first 4 shades) the other two rows swatch really well without a base or primer. Overall, $8 for 12 matte shades is not that bad.
MAGNOLIA MAKEUP PIGMENTS
I've come to love Magnolia Makeup pigments, I was originally introduced to their products at The Makeup show last year. They were having a great sale on their pigments. Their pigments are normally $10 for 3.5grams. They had a blowout sale, pigments were $5 and $7.
I had been wanting a true red and yellow eyeshadow for so long, so; I bought the Creole Tomato (red), Rio (bright yellow with citrine) and Whimsical (purple with gold and violet shimmer). Magnolia Makeup has some of the most beautiful color selections and just like with all pigments, a little goes a long way.
WET N WILD LIMITED EDITION PALETTES
By now everyone should know that I'm a HUGE Wet n Wild fan! Every year Wet n Wild releases limited edition palettes usually around Christmas time. This past December, they repromoted another palette and released two new limited edition palettes. I found them at Kmart, each palette was $4.99.
The I Heart Matte palette consists of all 8 matte shades, this time Wet n Wild repromoted it as the Drinking a Glass of Champagne palette. I bought the other two 8 pan palettes that they had as well, the other two palettes had all new colors...no dupes this time like they sometimes tend to do. Both of the palettes I bought all are shimmer shadows, the Sparkle Til Morning is a great neutral palette that can be worn every day and small enough to fit in your purse.
