It was a bob and weave type situation. traffic, construction road blocks and no parking zone placed in front of the beauty supply due to construction. one of the owners actually watched our cars and gave a shout when the meter maid was in coming our way. today was quite interesting in general. but, I finally got some la girls lip paints!! there they were right at the front for $2.99 a piece.. :)
I only got the 3 but we'll see. with 18 colors to choose from coming soon I got a lot more options. ;-)

I have these in mind as a dupe until I can afford the sugar pill pallet. and its cool to see how the cheap stuff stands up again more expensive. these are $1 each and the empty quad pallet is $2.99 but I think I saw it cheaper somewhere else so will get it then..

I hope the shadows are nice. my eyes are so sensitive I always bought MAC shadows for the color selection n they didn't bother my eyes. but cheaper stuff has gotten a lot better over time but still I'm Leary, lol.

Thanks Naomi :-) I don't find them gritty at all.When I bought one I was telling Jackie they were actually nice and smooth but the lasting power was not up to par.I bought coral that is a intense color(color bam!) but when you dab to your liking its pretty.
