Another haul?! So shameful.

Just when I think I won't be buying any more... I find something else to get. I think I need to go to Makeupaholoics Anonymous. Seriously, it's bad. But at least it's only three things.

Forever 21 10 Shadow Palette in Brown/Natural

Haha, sorry for the patchwork swatches, but I put them all on my hand hoping I could get them all in one shot, but the light wasn't cooperating, so I had to break up the photographs. I also wanted the swatches in order of how they show up in the package, and I swatched them  kind of stupidly. Sorry, sorry, sorry!

The metallic shades are more pigmented than the matte shades. They also have kind of a weird texture that's somewhere between a spongey, gelly and creamy texture. It's crazy and cool. I just can't get over how pigmented they are! There's a great rose gold for those of you looking for a shadow to follow the trend. I wish the pink in the lower right corner showed up better in the picture because the swatch looked more pigmented. All in all, I like it. The lighter matte shades are pigmented, but they're close to my skin tone, so they're having a hard time showing up.

As a side note, I know I'm calling them matte, because I think they're supposed to be, but the bottom right brown almost has a satiny finish. I think they're supposed to be matte because it says "eye shadow and brow kit" on the box, but I don't know. I'm not going to do my brows with a satin shadow.

This is definitely worth the money. It's only $5.80! If you're looking for it in the store, it comes in a box covered in roses. Very pretty.

NYX Roll On Shimmer in Salmon

I got this because Melmphs said she loved it. I was looking for a rose gold, so I thought I'd go ahead and get it. It was only around $4. I love the color, but I'm not crazy about the huge chunks of glitter. I'm trying to find a way of knocking the glitter off before applying it to my lid, but no luck so far. You probably want a base underneath this to help the pigment stay. I like to use Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. I think that enhances the rosey-ness of the rose gold. Very pretty.

City Color Baked Blush in Guava

I got this from a Five Below store. A college friend told me about them and I hadn't seen them before. When I went shopping and bought the other two items, I saw a new Five Below had been added to the strip mall we were shopping in and I had to go in. My friend had sent me pictures of a bunch of makeup she had bought from a Five Below, and I wanted to see if I could find the same line. I did! So I bought this. I really love the color. I wish it would show up in the picture, but it won't. It really is gorgeous, and it's only $3, so I recommend checking it out (if you have a Five Below near you).

I guess that's all folks. I hope you're having a lovely day, and thanks for putting up with my constant spending splurges. I need to learn some self control!
