I picked up some more Inglot eye shadows a while ago. I feel like buying Inglot is sort of a crap shoot. I love the pigmentation of the shadows, but the colors! It can be so hard to tell what the color is actually like. It doesn’t matter how many swatches I look at (and some don’t have swatches), I’m still never 100% sure I’ll like a color.
I knew I loved Kiss My Sass Drama Queen from the moment I saw it! When you wear it, it’s awesome on! It brightens the eye, yet it’s not overly glittery. It’s got nice shimmer and shine to it. It’s a neutral, so it will go with anything. While it works well as a highlight shade, I can get away with wearing it all over. I LOVE it with MAC Nebula. That color is such an obsession for me. It’s still available online at MAC, as part of the Daphne Guiness collection.
I know this post is very late in coming, but I still wanted to show you this gorgeous drugstore gloss. It’s Revlon Decadent. Believe it or not, I saw it on the shelves at Walgreen on sale, which reminded me that I should post a picture! It’s a beautiful magenta gloss with blue sparkles.
Guess what! Another giveaway!

One of my fabulous finds on Hautelook (affiliate link) in the past few months was a company called Mirabella. I picked up two of their pressed foundations in the lightest shade (Fix Powder Foundation – Perfection 1 -Pale Beige – Very Fair) and their Timeless Collection Eye Shadow Quad. Seriously, I check Hautelook every day, just to see if they have a deal that I might like. Because of that, I end up snagging some interesting things. The eye shadow quad was $20. The foundations were $7 each. It looks like the foundation normally retails for $36 each, and like they’re currently out of Perfection 1. The eye shadows are typically $10 each, while the case retails for $17 and is sold separately.
