- Kat Von D Serpentina Eyeshadow Palette: I couldn't not get this! It's Kat Von D, had beautiful jewel tones and a color named after my favorite jewelry company -- Bloodmilk. The colors are wonderfully pigmented and gorgeous!
- Black Moon Cosmetics BLACK METAL TRINITY™ - Limited Edition Pack & Myth: I had to get these as well. Black Metal Trinity consists of (according to Black Moon's website): Immortal: A blackened purple with flecks of purple and arctic blue. Armageddon : A blackened red with hints of copper. Sorrow: A deep blackened blue with flecks of arctic blue. Then there is Myth: a blackened emerald green with hints of teal to really push this color to the next dimension. They're all BEAUTIFUL. My two favorites are Armageddon (-- this is the most metallic red I have ever seen! I was so impressed!!!) and Immortal -- just a gorgeous vampy metallic purple!
- Anastasia Beverly Hills - Glow Kit - Moon Child - I was practically salivating over this when I saw it! Oddly enough, I think because they all came out around the same time, I kind of saw Serpentina, Black Moon's metallic lippies and the Moon Child palette as going together -- and they do, fabulously!!! A really cool thing to do with this palette is to pair your eye look with the opposite color i.e. a red shadow and lip look with Lucky Clover's hint of green. It's just beautiful!
- Laura Geller New York Baked Color & Contour Palette: (Shopped my stash!) Heard about this some months ago from emilynoel83. I got it after I dropped my It Cosmetics face disk and broke it. (I had used most of the highlighter and I think hit pan on the bronzer.) When I first got this, I was afraid it was going to sit in my makeup drawer unused for the most part. I had not yet discovered the beauty of Baked French Vanilla. I don't use it as a cheek highlighter, I use it as an under eye brightener, and in general a middle of the face brightener. I can also use the bronzer as a contour as it's not uber warm. The blush has a hint of shimmer and is the most beautiful pinky coral color. Overall I really love this a lot better than the It Cosmetics face disk.
- e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Smooth Matte Eyeshadow in Nude Linen: I took a chance and got this from e.l.f. I had a feeling it would work well for me as and eye primer -- and I was right!!! This is also fabulous if you're going for a no-makeup-makeup look to even out the eyelids.
- DIY Cosmetic Containers - 26 MM 5 WELL BLACK PALLETTE, Makeup Geek Flamethrower, Coastal Scents Chamois Nude, Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear, Makeup Geek Bitten, Makeup Geek Cupcake: (Shopped my stash!) I kept looking at Becca's Ombre Rouge Palette. I came very close to purchasing it. Then I remembered that I had an empty 5 pan palette, and some very similar single shadows. I put Makeup Geek's Flamethower foiled shadow in there as I love shimmer on the lid. I calculated it. If I were to buy everything in lieu of getting Becca's Ombre Rouge palette, it would come out only a few dollars less. But, adding the $40 Ombre Rouge palette when I already had colors like that didn't make sense for me.
- e.l.f. Prime & Stay Finishing Powder: (Shopped my stash!) I bought this months ago because of a the good reviews -- & for $2, why not? I didn't really use this until I went on a trip. This powder minimized the look of my pores! -- For $2!!!
- Essence Lash Princess Mascara - False Lash Effect: I heard about this from Young Wild And Polished. This is a fabulous drugstore mascara! She seems to be the queen of finding really inexpensive kick-butt mascaras!!!
- MATRIX Oil Wonders Oil Conditioner: Ulta was having a sale on their large bottles of hair care. I decided to try this on a whim. I LOVE this!!! It's not often I find a conditioner I love. I have long fine hair that's DRY!!! This conditions my hair beautifully!
- Sun Bum® 3 In 1 Leave In Hair Conditioning Treatment: This was also on sale at Ulta. I wanted to try this because it had SPF in it. I thought it would be great for traveling. OMG -- this stuff detangles like a dream!!! A must for long hair!
- GOT 2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray: I have a cowlick in my bangs that causes them to split. I should have tried this sooner. I haven't tried every brand of hair spray there is; but, this is the only brand I've tried that really works to keep my bangs in place. I also use it to keep flyaways from forming when I tie my hair back before going out -- which is every day during summer.
5 out of 11 favorites were shop my stash items Yay!!!
Ta Ta For Now!
