FOTD : Kat Von D Evelyn Palette & NYX Transylvania - 7/24/2014

keeping on with the roll, I have another FOTD, plus a small haul. I went to Ulta today because I was having a really bad day(week) and decided to see if they had the NYX macaron lippies in the store - negative. Good news, there were new colors of the soft matte lip creams to poke at. I got one to see, and there are few more I would love, plus there are new normal matte lipstick shades now! As I was wandering around with my new lippie I found some clearanced nail polishes, SCORE! So I picked up Josie, Sunshine (pixie dust) , and Chita (pixie dust). The best part of the day was there were clearanced from 8.00 to 1.97 but when I got to check out they actually range up for .98 I believe. I purchased everything for under ten dollars! That sure made my week a little brighter.

This is the first day all week that my husband has noticed or at least said anything about my makeup. I walked into his office when I picked him up from work and all he had to say was "You look dark." For the life of me, I couldn't just take a "normal" photo but I think these show off the makeup well enough so here they stay!

What I used:


Face
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 115 Ivory
ELF High Definition Powder


Eyes
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Kat Von D Evelyn Palette
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Demolition
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express
ELF Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Lips
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania


What do you think? Will you be running out to Ulta to score some nail poishes or checking out some new NYX products? I think the lip cream could have been a little bit nicer if I used a lipliner first, c'est la vie!

Kat Von D - Mini True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Little Sinner

Hey everyone! I have got some cool new Kat Von D palettes to share with you. As you all know, I have an insatiable urge to own every Kat Von D palette. I do not know why. I will say right now, I think these are much better than the Mi Vida Loca palette. There are two new palettes out, Little Saint and Little Sinner. They are mini palettes. There are four colors in each just like the Kimberly and Evelyn palettes. I think the colors look great, are pigmented and of good quality. I also love how there is only one real repeat shade out of the eight shadows.The four shadows in this palette are:

Galore - pearlized golden nude
T-Rex - pearlized olive
Swan Song - iridescent white (iridescent pearl in Mi Vida Loca palette)
Brave Awakening - pearlized maroon

Top - Galore, Swan Song

Bottom - T-Rex, Brave Awakening

Swatches

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Top - Galore, Swan Song

Bottom - T-Rex, Brave Awakening

I find these colors to be a little Christmas-y. The rich shimmery gold, evergreen and holly red really do scream holiday party! This is not a bad thing, they are pretty colors. I am glad that the repeat is a pretty color. It is not the colors she usually repeats, and I really did love Swan Song.

What do you think of this palette? Would it get a lot of use from you?

Do you think these colors are too common to warrant purchasing this palette?

Kat Von D - Mini True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Little Saint

Hey everyone! I have got some cool new Kat Von D palettes to share with you. As you all know, I have an insatiable urge to own every Kat Von D palette. I do not know why. I will say right now, I think these are much better than the Mi Vida Loca palette. There are two new palettes out, Little Saint and Little Sinner. They are mini palettes. There are four colors in each just like the Kimberly and Evelyn palettes. I think the colors look great, are pigmented and of good quality. I also love how there is only one repeat shade out of the eight shadows. I thought there were two, but Pray For Me in this palette is different from the Pray For Me of the Saint palette.The four shadows in this palette are:

Be Mine - matte nude
Hummingbird - pearlized bronze
Empathy - pearlized sky blue
Pray For Me - pearlized dark purple (peralized taupe in sinner palette)

Top - Be Mine, Empathy

Bottom - Hummingbird, Pray For Me

Swatches

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Top - Be Mine, Empathy

Bottom - Hummingbird, Pray For Me

I really like that there are no surprises with this palette. What you see is what you get.What do you think of this new palette? Would you buy it? I think these colors may easily be duped by some, but it is nice to have them all in one spot.

Valentine's day 7/14 - Quick And Easy Look With KVD Truth Palette

Today I have a little picture tutorial. I did a look using the pink side of the Kat Von D Truth palette. I think it turned out alright. It is very wearable. This look would really help to accentuate green or hazels eyes.

First I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin all over my lid

Next I took Rehab

and placed it all over my lid and brow bone

Then I took Galeano

and patted that on the outer 2/3rd of my lid

I took Sister

and placed that on my brow bone for a soft highlight

Then I took Prague

and placed in in the crease like this

I didn't want to use too much and I find placing it where I want it first makes it look nicer after I blend it rather than just placing and blending at the same time. (because I seriously lack skills)

Blend!

Then add some mascara

Here is a full face shot- I used KVD Lovecraft on my lips

What do you think of this look? Too subdued or just right?
I have really been loving a purple and pink smokey eye. I don't know why. What look or combination are you obsessed with right now?
