More Stila Sale!




Woww...I'm an addict. Yes, I was back at Urban Outfitters today and I feel like a makeup doctor.

I purchased two more stila palettes (floral chic palette and trendsetting in tokyo, the collectible travel pallete no. 3).

The floral one was $1.37 and the Tokyo one was $1.39. Have a look at them before I fixed them up. WARNING: Pretty nasty.



Gross, right? With the help of cotton swabs, cotton squares, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer with a high alcohol content, I fixed these babies up.




The first one with the deep blue is trendsetting in Tokyo and the second is floral chic.

The colors:




I decided to use pics this time because of the super glittery black shadow that just has a peace sign...like, with a hand.

These palettes were just SWATCHED. hehe.



Top are the floral chic shades. I started both of these rows with the convertible colors.

After I took the pictures, I realized that when I was closing the Tokyo palette, sake, the shade that was super destroyed, had powdery fall-out all over the place. I mixed two eye drops onto the surface of the shadow making it really creamy. Now it's dry. There's less fall-out when the shade is sealed. But once you use quite a bit again, add a drop or two more. A bit of a pain. Oh well.

The eye-drop trick is great if you're traveling with a very powdery shadow. It also can turn a shadow into a nice liner, and it's a lot cheaper than products like this. Plus you might already have some around. :)

And I did pick up the nail art polish in black.

heyheyheyyyy

So guys, I have another lil mini haul for you!

For the third day in a row, I went to Urban Outfitters. Don't judge! I can walk there in five minutes. Their beauty selection is limited but I think it's rather nice. They have those little Stila palettes that cost ten bucks and have four eyeshadows and a convertible color. Most of them are destroyed and have fingerprints or the pans are gauged out! Eww. They were $1.99 today with and everything on sale was 30% off so it was only $1.39...woww. I found one that wasn't too gross. I bought it, brought it home and gave it some TLC. I cleaned up the palette and sterilized the shadows and bronzer/lip color with alcohol. The color I got was Fabulous in Fiji!




Inside the magnetized case is a nice big mirror with an Amelia Earhart quote.

"Flying may not be plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price."






The colors-

r&r- light grey silver- top left
escape- dark grey silver- top right
palm- light bright forest green (if that makes sense)- bottom left
wave- deep dark blue- bottom right

plumeria- dark bronze- it's the big one...

These are all quite shimmery.

The convertible color is soooo creamy. I really want a pink one. I wanna see if there's one that's not too damaged from the pretty floral palette.

The silvery shadows look nice but I probably won't be using the blue and green shades anytime soon. I might do a look just for fun.

This palette just got swatched!



Eww you can see my arm hairs... hehe.

I also purchased a white nyx nail art nail polish. It may be useful. The wand is really long and thin.





I wasn't sure whether it was polish or a detailer but now that I know I may also get a black one. Both of these purchases together cost less than a chai at Starbucks. :)

Also...you may recall that in my last post I mentioned how much I really really wanted the NYX cream blush in glow. Well, my friend got it for me!!

She's so nice! I'll have it by Tuesday, though I might not be able to get a review in by then.

By the way, Physician's Formula didn't really excite me.
