Review and Swatches of Stila's Charmed Palette.

Swatches:

Top is swatched alone. Bottom is over NYX's Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk.


These shadows are ridiculously smooth, soft and pigmented. I think so soft, they broke in transit. And I think Stila's eye shadows are notorious for this, though I don't own any others. I would really recommend this palette though.You can do so many things with it, and it's perfect for someone like me who is lazy and frequently wakes up 15 minutes before departure time because they are very easy to apply and blend.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who reads and comments on my blog. I really appreciate all of the love and have been having the best of time typing away and posting pictures about makeup and beauty. I love reading all of your blogs as well. You all are so lovely! 

My posts might be scarce because school is really kicking my ass, but I will definitely still be reading and following all of your blogs.

I really want to have a giveaway because I love giving presents... ha. I'll save up my pennies so I can buy you all a great present. As you can see (to the right) I love giveaways so I cant wait to have my own!

Always feel free to chat.

UK Swap.

I recently did a swap with the sweetest girl on www.Makeupalley.com.
She's from the UK so she picked me up some UK only trinkets.

Barry M Lip Paints in #129-Palest Lavender and #147- Peachy Pink, Barry M Nail Paints in Grey and Mint Green, Barry M Dazzle Dusts in #3- Pink Gold and #51- Mushroom, Collection 2000 Nail Polish in Dynasty and GOSH Velvet Touch Liners in Rising Sun (Gold) and Golden Moss (Green).
No swatches for the polishes! I am terrible at them.

Barry M Pigments in shades #3- Pink Gold and #51- Mushroom.

GOSH Velvet Touch Liner in Rising Sun and Golden Moss and Barry M Dazzle Dusts in #3- Pink Gold and #51- Mushroom.
I love these! The liners are soft, but long lasting. I would have hoped for a little truer color- somtimes they can show up a little sheer, but I would still really reccomend these.
And I love the Dazzle Dusts as well. They come in a cute little pot and are easy to work with and give off great pigmentation.

 Barry M Lip Paints in #147- Peachy Pink and #129- Palest Lavender.
These look so funny on me and it's going to take me a while to go out in public with these on, but the consistency is great as well as the pigmentation.


Would love more suggestions for great UK only cosmetics! x

From the CCO!

There is a CCO litterally down the street from my place and I hadn't even known....
Voila!

I stumbled across it while doing a little idle shopping at The Outlets and I was sooo excited. I really would have never guessed it would be at my outlets of all places....

If any of you want me to pick you up something there, let me know! I love swaps and would love to help anyone out who has been dying to get their hands on a little something from there.

Here's what I picked up:

MAC's Blush in Out of Bounds (Satin) (a mate reddish brown for contouring) and MAC's MSF in Perfect Topping

Out of Bounds

Straight swatch... and then a little blended:

Perfect Topping

Same with this one:

Hopefully there will be some Face's of the Day with these products. I'm so excited to play with them!
