:)

I didn't think I'd get this palette at first, I figured that I had the Book of Shadows III and I didn't need to get the brand new edition. I swatched some of the colors, some of which are similar, but I needed to have it in my life. I got it during the f&f sale and am so glad I did. It's a gorgeous mix of colorful shades and neutrals so you can accomplish virtually any look. It also comes with a UDPP and a zero liquid liner. If you want to bring something and can look past the thick box, you could be set for a good 2 weeks with all of these shadows.

I wanted to like this, I really did.

I'm on the hunt for the perfect mascara! Maybelline mascaras have never worked for me, so I'll include my little rant about the formula here rather than on all of the mascaras. I have used the Falsies, Falsies Flared, One by One, Mega Plush, and the one in yellow tubing, and they have all been terrible misses for me. They flake off after an hour and irritate my eye! I thought with the "gel formula" this mascara wouldn't irritate my eyes, but I was sadly disappointed.

Not a Naked palette

Comparing the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette to the original Urban Decay Naked Palette, they seem like totally different collections. It is nice but the colors are a little sheer and can produce an amount of fall out and the cardboard packaging is a little bulky. If you're a beginner, this could be the palette for you as it comes with three different instruction cards explaining where to place each color to get the "classic" "day" or "fashion" looks.

I wasn't impressed.

I've tried TFSI multiple times and each time I ended up just tossing the tube to the side and grabbing my UDPP and filling the void in my heart. It kept my eyeshadows on beautifully, but I think because of the siliconey feel I just didn't like blending it over my eyelids. I have oily lids so it didn't feel like it was accomplishing anything.

Berry stained errything

If you're unfamiliar with Benetint, I think you've been hiding under a rock. It's a cult favorite cheek and lip stain in a gorgeous berry color. It's a little drying for the lips but a few dabs on the apples of my cheeks seems to do wonders for an effortless flush like I've been running around in the cold (only more red and less pink). If you haven't tried it I'd recommend it. They have plenty of smaller vials which will last you a lifetime so you don't have to commit to the full size.

Kim Kardashian's old signature lip...

And my new signature lip color! It's a nice wash of color for my pigmented lips, it's not too expensive, and it's a gorgeous pinky-nude. I have three tubes and I can't imagine being without it. It's gorgeous!

Smooth, black, and wonderful!

I have a few UD 24/7 liners and I absolutely love the formula on them. They have a good color range and they're the creamiest pencils I've ever used. I recently got on the bandwagon and got Perversion, which is their "blackest black" shade. Compared to Zero it's extremely dark and matte, which I love. I usually just throw this on my waterline (I prefer liquid for my upper lashes) and it stays put for hours, hardly smudges, and makes my heart super happy. If you want a very black liner that won't tug or pull, this is the liner for you!

So many sexual innuendos!

I have the Danmari palette from Holday 2011 and Deep Throat for NARS as of right now and I feel like my collection is far from complete. I love these blushes, they have great color payoff and they're super easy to blend. Some of the more vibrant colors could come across far too bold for someone with super fair skin, but if you use a light hand you'll almost always get a flawless flush. My only complaint is the price, lolol.

Everyone & their mom loves it....

So do I.

I've been using UDPP for at least 3 years now, it was one of my first high end purchases. I was sucked in by the genie bottle and absolutely fell in love. My eyeshadows never creased anymore, they stayed vibrant all day, and I thought it was magic. I've branched out and tried some other primers but I always come back to UDPP. I have it in original (probably 4 tubes in total) and Sin.

Not on the bandwagon

Sure, this lip balm is cute, easy to find in your bag and easy to apply but it's not my favorite lip balm out there. I find it feels waxy and I need to apply it quite often. For the price, I'll go get Nivea Kiss of Honey.
