Kmart mini-haul

  They had a few eye shadow palettes on clearance at Kmart today, so I figured I may as well grab them. I honestly expected them to be crap, but I am VERY surprised at how nice these shadows are!!
  The first ones I saw were by Profusion, who I have heard of before, but never actually tried. The particular palettes they had are called "Ready To Glow"

.Each one has 12 different shadows, and each palette was $1.99.There must have been about 6 different ones, all with similar colors but with slight differences.I bought the one with the most pink shades in it. Not sure why I only picked one, but now that i know how awesome the shadows are I am going back to get more!!
 All of the palettes had gorgeous colors! Shimmery,white, pink,brown and gold hues. They are super pigmented and feel extremely creamy on your skin. I have not actually worn these on my eyes,but the way they looked and felt on my hand with no primer- I can only imagine how fabulous they are going to look !!















The other brand that caught my eye was L.A. COLORS. They had 5 different palettes on sale for $3.99,and they all had really pretty colors, but I have so many eye shadows now, I decided to only get 2 of them.
They have 16 eye shadows, and just like the Profusion palettes, these all have great pigmentation & feel ultra creamy. These have a wide variety of gorgeous colors-all have at least some shimmer to them. Some appear more shimmery than others on your skin.









  






 One of the palettes is called "Haute".It has some neutral shades, pinks,
yellow, greens, blues & purples. I REALLY like this palette.The colors are all very vibrant and the faint hint of shimmer makes them absolutely gorgeous.


  

 The second one I picked up is called "Smokin".The shadows in this palette have a deeper, richer tone to them- browns, greens, blues,and greys,a beautiful magenta shade, champagne,lilac,white, and  a nice black shade.Just
like the other palette. these all have wonderful pigmentation, feel super creamy and have just the right amount of shimmer.






So it looks like I will be making another trip back to Kmart soon :-)..These are incredible deals!! Just proves you don't always get what you pay for!!!





 


 

*Bonus*( MAC )drugstore dupes

  Yes ladies, It is time once again to learn how to look like you spent a bunch of $$$$ to look pretty, when you really haven't. Sometimes,(most of the time) all you are really paying for is the name or the fancy packaging. For every high-end overpriced makeup item out there, there is a drugstore dupe that looks just as fabulous! These weekly posts are my way of helping you to do just that!! So read on, then head on out to Wal-mart (or wherever)!! :-)

Today I am doing more than one , because "MAC", one of the most expensive cosmetic companies out there, has soo many dupes..I figure I may as well throw a few of them into this post for you!..(well, it's more than a "few"..)..today, you get 4 MAC Dupes!!

Happy Monday, Ladies!! :-)

Kat Von D Makeup Line

 

I have posted about the Kat Von D Monarch Palette before, but this post is about her entire Makeup Line. Anyone that follows my blog, or knows me personally, knows That I am madly, deeply, totally in LOVE with her makeup. It started with  a single eyeshadow ("On The Road" Shade Shifter),
and most recently my romance with her line was rekindled by the Monarch Palette.
                                                                                                                                                                                                 I realize   that I rave about her eyeshadows all the time, but I have failed to mention all of her other awesome makeup !!...Here are a few of them...

•  Lock-It Tattoo Foundation
•  Lock-It Powder Foundation
• Lock-it Tattoo Concealer
• High Voltage Eye Primer
• Rehab Priming Elixir
• Autograph Eyeliner
• Foiled Love Lipstick

•  Unlock-It Makeup Remover Wipes
•  Lock 'N Load Makeup Setting Mist
•  Immortal Lash 24 Hour Mascara
• "Sinner" Eau de Parfum Spray
• "Saint" Eau de Parfum Spray

Sephora has exclusive rights to her products, so that is where you need to go to see her entire line..You can also find some of her products randomly on sites like Amazon & Ebay.I check those sites for some of her palettes that were limited edition,and are no longer on the Sephora website.
  I will tell you that all of her makeup is pretty pricey, but it is soo worth the money .When I first discovered her makeup line, I was like "No way am I paying THAT for makeup"!! But once I got a chance to try it, I realized that the quality is unlike anything I have ever tried before, and that in itself makes it worth a little extra $$!! The eyeshadows, for example, are so highly pigmented, and the palettes are huge and come with so many colors!! One palette would last you forever.The only bad thing is once you try any of the eyeshadows, you instantly want to get MORE, just because they are so freakin nice!!

I would love to hear from anyone that has tried any of these products! There are still a ton of things I haven't tried yet, so it would be great to get some of you opinions on them!!!
