Goodies I have yet to review, swatch and use from the holidays! I cannot resist trying little things I find in drugstores, especially when they are 40% off! I don't feel the pressure to swatch since this isn't a blog people read on the daily or at all, but I am loving the idea of having something to take pictures of, and it lets me see what I have. Soon, I plan on taking pictures of my FOTDs because I've found putting makeup on others is so much easier than applying it to myself. When you are looking at another's face, it's so much easier to see any uneveness and ensure placement is accurate; however, when I apply it on myself, I can't step back and look at what I've done. Can't explain it,but it's a goal of mine. The idea behind this so cool. On the left side, there are three matte shadows and on the right, are the corresponding shadows in shimmers. From top left going clockwise: Vanity, Greed, Pride and Lust. They claim to be highly pigmented. I hope I'm not disappointed, but with Rite Aid, they will accept returns. Gotta love that, especially since mattes are typically chalky. Swatches to come!

Every time I see the words "Santa Baby" I hear that Song Madonna did. I know all the words but this year I don't think I played any Christmas music. I enjoy Christmas songs, but not in December. I'm an odd bird in that sense.

So, I heard about this from the sales person/stockist and he told me they would be on sale, so he set a pair aside for me. They were only $5.99 plus tax, so I would feel really bad, not purchasing them with the buy one get one. Even though I know Boxing Day they would be even less. I am a sucker, but Wet N Wild has raised the bar on drugstore products. I was highly impressed with the pigmentation and color texture of some of their other limited edition shadows. I don't know why manufacturers opt not to keep consistent with products, it would benefit them in terms of revenue and reputaiton greatly. This came with 12 shadows, one lip gloss and a mascara. The lip gloss and mascara is useless unless you want them for carry ons in your purse. When I tried the mascara it looked grey. It didn't do much other than coat my lashes, but I expected as much. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase, However, I know I won't reach for this much. It's quite gimmicky. In addition, I must add that this style of trio will be something you will see more of from Stila for Spring 2010. It's the same as the Barbie Palette I posted months back. This collection is not a must have, but it is a great stocking stuffer, gift, or item for anyone on a budget. The cool palette is highly recommended for darker skinned lovelies.
