New Stuff

Hey all.  I just got back from Florida yesterday.  I was there for almost 2 weeks!  I am very glad to be home, and judging from yesterday, my dog is happy that I'm home as well.

While I was gone, Too Faced Cosmetics had a little sale.  Since Too Faced is pretty much my favorite brand, I ordered a few things.

Lockdown Eye-Shadow (Jailbait):




This color is a very light pink creme shadow that has their shadow insurance in it.  If you are looking for a fantastic eye-shadow primer, I highly recommend Too Faced Shadow Insurance.  I have never come across a better primer-- my eye-shadow always stays put ALL day.  But yeah, since this includes that primer, I was excited to try it.  It was $3.  This is actually the color I'm wearing today.  I must say, it's gorgeous and I love the idea that I can just put this on and go and not have to worry about it wearing off.

Baked Eye-Shadows:
Moon Beam:


















Sorry about all the pictures of this one.  It was kind of hard to capture what this color really looks like.  If you can tell at all, it is a dark, almost hunter green, with a light green shimmer in it.  It's really pretty.  I wasn't sure about ordering this one since I have their eye-shadow duo in Lucky Charms (which has a similar shade of green), but when I compared the swatches, Moon Beam is actually darker:
Lucky Charms is on the top and Moon Beam is on the bottom.


Mocha Meteor:






Again, this color reminded me of the darker shade from the Totally Toasted eye-shadow duo that I have.  These are actually pretty close:












Totally Toasted may have a little bit more red (closer to bronze than brown) than Mocha Meteor?  I don't know.  Mocha Meteor is more brown than Totally Toasted.

The baked eye-shadows were $3 a piece as well.

Here are all of the swatches in one shot:

Ulta was also having a sale on the Too Faced Shadow Insurance.  I already have some, but it was $9 at Ulta when it is regularly $18, so I picked up another one.

Whew... I think that about covers it.  I'm sorry about lighting of the swatches and whatnot... it isn't usually what I do.
