Coming Soon...

Hello!

Coming soon I have a review of Urban Decay's Vice Palette. It just arrived in the mail yesterday, so I haven't had time to use it yet, but I can't wait! I have 20 brand new, new formulation shades to try out.

I also got a sample of Kat Von D's Lock-It tattoo foundation. Not quite the right colour match, but it will be in summer. What I can say so far is AMAZING coverage. More on that coming soon, too.

Also almost finished is my review of the Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation.

Stay tuned!

Look: Barlust and Half Baked

Hello!

Here's another look I did using the Smoked and Naked palettes from Urban Decay. I did a very soft gold and bronze smoky eye look which can easily transition from day to night.

Look: Black and Silver

Hello!

I realised I've been all about the reviews lately and haven't posted up an eye look in ages.

Today's eye look was done was done using the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette and Urban Decay's amazing matte black eyeshadow, Blackout. This is a dramatic look I wore out to a birthday party. I hope you like it!
