Sephora and Drugstore Hauls!

I'm pretty happy about these purchases! I didn't plan on buying an eyeshadow palette, but it was less expensive than I thought, and it was really nicer than I expected, although I don't think this is the same one I swatched in the store- it's called 102 The Ingénue. The one I swatched was called "The Glam" but this one is still nice and I'm sure I'll use it a lot.  I tried the lip gels in the store and passed- I thought the texture was too soft and glossy for me, and I thought they were a bit expensive.

The other stuff I ordered online but it came today as well.  I am really excited to try this L'oreal  highlighter, and it is beautiful.... Although I didn't know its just an overlay so the main powdis a pressed powder.  The thing that irritates me.... its so expensive for a drugstore product, I really hate all the tape all over it. I've tried alcohol and nail polish remover but I can never get the tape residue off.... Anybody have any tips for that??

Too Faced Galaxy Glam Eyeshadow: Cocoa Comet

I can't think of an intro for this, so onto the pics:

Worst packaging.  Flimsy cheap plastic.  Am I opening batteries here? 

The product is not bad, it's dense with a smooth texture and I would say medium pigmentation.  

It really looks a lot better wet: 

Left is wet- it's a huge difference!  

Here is how it turned out, and yes, I did toss that eyeliner:

I did have a big problem with longevity though, and it didn't maintain the appearance in the swatch once on my lids either.  

It's ok, but I really have no use for an "ok" shadow, and definitely not a brown one. 

Inglot Swatches! New Mattes: 318, 391, 340, 327, 343

I thought I was going to hyperventilate when I got my Inglot box!!  I havent ordered any makeup in forever, I forgot what that's like!  I used to order every other day lol!!

These mattes are perfect- buttery, smooth, pigmented- Inglot lovers, you know the deal.

Sorry for the bad lighting- we are having some storms here- tomorrow's swatches should be better!

My favourite of these by far is 340.  Its just a perfect dark blue- kind of denim-y.  I don't really know what I am going to do with 343 yet, since its such a bright chartreuse, but I can see it, in small quantities!  The others are definitely staples. 

Coming tomorrow: purples and greens!  

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches: Highlights

For some reason I did not order that many highlighting shades on my first Inglot order, and I am still going through my last one, so these are all I have for now. 

From L to R:  08 Shine, 412 Pearl, 399 Pearl

(With Flash)

I was very disappointed in 08 Shine.  It applied all patchy and was just too sparkley, it was a real mess on my eye.  I've used it 4-5 times and it still did not give me the results I wanted.  I think I will try it wet, maybe that will solve the issues but using it dry it just did not work out for me. 

I really liked 412, it has just the right amount of pigmentation and finish for a highlighter. 

I know I have a MAC shade like 399, I just can't think of the name.  A little too dark for an actual highlight but I liked it above the crease. 

Although these are very similar, I still really like them both for highlighting. 

More Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches

Today we have...

I really love these eyeshadows a lot!  I don't think I have used any other brand of eyeshadow as my lid colour since I got these.  More swatches to come! 

Sleek Paraguaya Eyeshadow Palette Review

The Paraguaya palette is a limited edition part of Sleek's Avoir la Peche collection.  It is simply gorgeous and definitely one of their best palettes!

 

Here are the swatches, top row I wasnt paying attention so it's four, then the last two:

Bottom Row:

I really like this palette a lot.  The shades are gorgeous.  Good mix of mattes and shimmers.  I don't remember ever doing a peach eye so I am loving that.  Unique is very good for me!  My favourites are Peach Gold and Persimmon.  I also love that they put grey/taupe shades instead of black, it really does go well with the peaches; black would have been too harsh in my opinion.  

I also really love that they wrote the name on the front.  I have a lot of black Sleek palettes they all look the same; this way it's a tad easier to find without turning it over.

I also experienced little to no fall out with the shimmers, which has not been the case in other palettes, so I was very pleased about that.  All of the shades have excellent pay out, but I was really impressed with the mattes. 

I would definitely recommend this palette!
