Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow-Tea Rose

Another item from my Burberry haul. Tea Rose ($29) is a shimmery light cotton candy shadow. Light enough to be grown up, wearable, but fun enough satisfy my love for pink e/s without looking too cray. I've been wearing these shadows, l/s, and Russet blush since I got them. The quality is beyond outstanding. The rest of my stash has been getting almost no love since Burberry came into my life.

Thanks for reading!

Sephora brand Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude

$28 for 10 e/s

I was very surprised by the quality of this palette. It's very pigmented with high frost and micro glitter. The fact that it's baked makes me go crazy, I love anything baked. Size of the shadows is pretty big, about the size of a nickle. I highly recommend it.

Love,

August Birchbox

Once the Birchbox of the month hype dies down, it's when I get mine. Last month I didn't get a chance to take pics cause I got it while the in laws were over and I was too busy. Didn't like that box anyways, I gave away everything in it but the polish. This one again is just OK. I do love the perfume samples because that's my thang, but the rest...Eeeeh. Not a fan of Carol's Daughter; I've purchased many things from her line and was disappointed by everything. The liner is a hot mess. Tons of product comes out with the applicator and there's no way to wipe on the edge cause the part you screw the wand into is like half a mile long. I tried to use it; not only is the wand difficult to hold so I ended up with black fingers, but the formula is thin and peels off.  The serum is a lifting and firming serum. I'm 25, I don't need either. And my hair is too long for hair ties. Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining too much, I just wanted to be completely honest. I keep it real. ;P

See how deep it is?

Bobbi Brown Sand Tortoiseshell Eye Palette

San Tortoiseshell ($60) is a neutral palette with eight mattes and metallics. While the packaging is simply stunning, I'm actually torn with the shadows. I'm not sure if they fully convince me. A couple of the shadows, Ivory and Black Chocolate, aren't very pigmented and feel quite dry. For something that cost $60, two bad shadows won't cut the mustard. I wish Sephora carried this in stores so I could have swatched it first, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. The metallics are beautiful though, very beautiful. 

Description from Sephora.com

Ivory (matte creamy white), Hot Stone (matte taupe), Terracotta (matte peachy beige), Antique Rose (matte soft dusty rose), and Black Chocolate (matte dark brown) Metallic Eye Shadow in Desert Sand (ivory beige shimmer) and Sandy Rose (silver taupe shimmer) Sparkle Eye Shadow in Gold Bar (sparkling pale gold)

I had to really scrub Ivory and Black Chocolate to pick up anything and they're still sheer

3 out of 5 stars for me. Thanks for reading!

Too Faced Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection

Hi everyone! Naked eye ($36) is a gorgeous cool toned palette with 9 shadows. Filled with taupes (like momma likes), a couple pinks, a white, and a matte black with subtle micro glitter. Great pigmentation and lasting power. I'm wearing Satin Sheets, Pillow Talk, Like a Virgin, and In The Buff  atm. I applied them this morning, went about my day, came home, passed the heck out (got woken up by 2 rats trying to steal my headband), had dinner, and my e/s is still intact.

First 3 are the shadows in the right

Sonia palette or what? Thanks for reading!

Urban Decay Naked

Seems like everybody and their grandmother has pictures of their Naked palette on their blogs. So I realized I had to post mine too so I could be kewl. As you can see the brush isn't there. I miss placed it and I don't miss it. Piece of crap.
 Not usually a fan of Urban Decay, but Naked had my name all over it as this is neutral heaven. I keep it in a safe train case stashed away where it's dark. Since this is the Holy Grail of palettes every time I touch it "I've got the power" plays in my head as I hold it up high as close to the heavens as possible. 

 I know, I know, so many pictures of the swatches. I can't help it, I love how they look on cam.
Thanks for reading!<33

Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in Gold Trench

Hi everyone! No joke, the moment I swatched this shadow it instantly became my favorite shadows, but when I put it on it became my favorite. Out of every one I own, this is it. Gold Trench ($29) is a richly pigmented antique golden tan shade with soft champagne shimmer. I present to you, the magic that is this EPIC eyeshadow:

These were taken in front of a bright window.

Yeah, um, my other shadows have no chance of winning the pageant with this running against them.
