Kat Von D

Shade SHifter Shadows

I have a new obsession. The only place to get it is from Sephora (or Amazon). It is the most gorgeous, highly-pigmented eyeshadow I have ever used.And it is very expensive :-).It would take me years to actually get all of the palettes and single shadows that I want, but I do own one single (shade shifter in "On The Road"), and should be getting my first palette ("Monarch Eyeshadow Palette")in the next day or two.
Hopefully these will keep me content , at least for a little while.Otherwise, I am going to have to start taking up collections to support my KatVonD addiction .

Monarch Eyeshadow Palette

For those of you who have never tried these shadows, DON'T- unless you are ready to fork out some major $$..I will be posting after I get my palette to let you know if it is worth the money. All of the Kat Von D shadows I have tried really stay put, and are so highly pigmented that you really don't have to use much. When you take those two factors into consideration, it may actually be worth it to spend a little extra for a great palette. I know it will last me forever..The real question is,how long before another one comes out that I will just HAVE to have!?

Amazon "Hard Candy" Haul

I am always looking for a good deal on makeup. I have been shopping at Amazon for years- it is where I got about 90& of my movies, video games, and toys for my son. Recently I was looking around on there and I noticed they had "Wholesale cosmetics Lots" so, of course, I checked it out. I was a little leery, because it did not tell you what you would be getting. It simply said mixed lot, no duplicates.I thought I would probably end up with a bunch of makeup in colors/products no one would ever wear, but they had one for $10, with free shipping. SO I decided it was worth the risk just to see...
 It took a little longer than most items on Amazon do to get to me, but once I got it I was really surprised, and very happy with what I received in the box!It was supposed to be 10 items, but I actually got 12, so that was a nice surprise!
Here is what I got:
mascara in electric blue
mascara in black
1 nail polish-gray with black specks
bronzer/highlighter stick
loose body glitter (pink)
eyeshadow glitter (light green)
baked eyeshadow in a gorgeous chocolate brown/bronze color (sparkly)
cream eyeshadow tube ("Eye Def") in a light blue
plumping lipgloss
"lip def" tube in bronze
..and last, but not least: my favorite product: concealer/corrector palette with 6 shades, including 3 skin tones, yellow, green, and a pink/lilac. comes with an attached, covered applicator

After I saw what I ha received, I immediately went right back to Amazon and ordered a lot of 25 items from the same seller (Bozley's Bargains)..I will be posting about that one as soon as I receive it!
I guess it pays to take a chance once on awhile after all!
