There are a few new items; however, none of them were bought by moi. I have been taking up knitting as a hobby and it has lessened my constant desire to buy makeup etc. I've been enjoying palettes and colors that I haven't previously been able to enjoy because of being inundated by new makeup.
This has a good deal of colors that I like. Juvia's place has a really nice eyeshadow formula and some really nice shades in their various palettes.
2. Kat Von D Eyeshadow Palette in Fetish:
I have to say, the packaging for Kat Von D's Fetish Eyeshadow palette is beautiful! It has a bunch or warm red colors that I like and some lovely accent colors for my lid like the greens a purples.
3. Kat Von D Single Eyeshadow in Swoon
Swoon is a shimmery red shadow. This color was first in a limited edition palette -- Better Together-- that was a collab with Too Faced. Swoon if one of those colors that is in almost every Darkling's capsule collection.
4. Kat Von D Eyeshadow Palette in Lolita:
I actually wasn't quite sure if I liked this palette at first. I thought that the other shades that were chosen to accompany Lolita might be too cool-toned for me. After wearing this numerous times, I think this is a beautiful palette and looks so good on!
5. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in L.U.V.
A very pretty pinky purple shade. One of the things I loved about KVDs older Studded Kiss formula is that it was a lot like the newer long lasting lipstick formulas in the slim tubes. The packaging of the Studded Kiss lipstick is one of my favorites.
6. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lolita
The Lolita that I have is from the newer formula. Not as "dry" of a formula but with a lip liner not as slippery as some -- which is good. Lolita is one of those "your lips but better" dusty rose colors.
7. Morphe Lipliner Pencil in Foolish
This goes well with KVD Lolita Lipstick.
8. CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones in Refined Rose
I heard about CG Instant Cheekbones from YouTuber emilynoel83. Refined Rose is a color that can go with most eyeshadow/lipstick looks. The three shades means it can be darkened or lightened by mixing with change of skintones.
9. Morphe Blushing Babes Blush Trio in Pop of Pink
I like using this with cooler toned eyeshadow/lipstick looks. The shade on the left can be used as a contour in a pinch.
10. Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Palette
The Alchemist palette can be used as highlighter or eyeshadow. This is one of KVD's better highlighters. (The highlighters that came out after that tend to have a lot of glitter in them.)
11. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Neon Travel Spray:
This smells exactly like Black Opium and Prada Candy Gloss mixed together. I just love it!
- Per Sephora:
- Key Notes: Neon Coffee, Orange Blossom, Dragon Fruit
- Fragrance Description: Black Opium Neon is a new twist on the classic Eau de Parfum. With adrenaline-rich coffee, sparkling orange blossom, and mesmerizing dragon fruit accord, it is a vibrant and indulgent perfume that’s the perfect combination of seductive and sweet.
12. Kat Von D 24-Hour Super Brow Long-Wear Pomade in Dark Brown:
I keep forgetting how much I like this sometimes. The color is great. Not too dark, not too warm. I get side tracked by those micro-thin pencils. Of course, the pomade would be nothing without that fantastic eyebrow brush of theirs.
13. Nyx Multitasker Mixing Medium:
Brow pomade after a while gets drier. It doesn't matter what brand it is. Sooner or later it will get drier. This can be used to wet the brow pomade.
14. Ofra Mini Highlighter in Pillow Talk:
If you prefer a highlight that is not subtle, you will love Ofra's highlighters. These babies glow!
15. Kat Von D #70 Pomade Brow Brush:
I can't sing the praises of this brow brush enough. The brush is razor thin and really helps to get a precise line!
16. e.l.f. Blurring Powder Brush (as foundation brush):
This is one of my favorite foundation brushes! I do not use this as a powder brush, unless I'm going to use powder foundation. The brush is densely packed and can navigate a few more areas that a flat brush can't.
17. e.l.f. Powder Brush:
Guess what I use this for? I've used this for powder for years. I like pressing powder in with this rather than "dusting" it on my face.
18. Haus Laboratories Liquid Eye-Lie-Ner in Punk:
I got this as a gift. This works great! It can draw a thin line if need be. It's nice and dark and matte.
19. Haus Laboratories All Over Metallic Creme in Glam Attack:
A dear friend got this for me. It is a metallic soft rosy red. I thought it was a liquid lipstick all of this time and had been wearing it as such Turns out, it was a liquid eyeshadow. It looks really nice as a liquid lipstick, though! LOL. My only caveat with wearing it as a lipstick is is does feel a little drying on the lips. So a nice lip-scrub and balm would be in order afterwards.
20. Prada Candy Florale:
This was part of a Christmas gift that also included the original Prada Candy (which I also love) and Prada Candy Kiss (which I am undecided about as of yet).
- Per Sephora:
- Notes: Sparkling Cedrat, Bouquet of Cosmos, Benzoin, Caramel, White Musk
- Style: Sensuous. Coquettish.
I've had this for probably thirteen years.
- Per Google (?) :
- Notes: A rich composition of Frankincense, Benzoin and Patchouli, COROMANDEL is a powerful oriental-woody fragrance. It unfurls the enveloping notes of its amber vibrato before giving way to a lingering voluptuous accord.
Ta-Ta-For-Now!
