KVD Spellbinding Lipstick set 2013 vs KVD Studded Love Lipstick set 2014

Ooh! Howw pretty. Don't you love it when you can look at the mini-lipsticks and see what color they are before you even open the packaging? This girl does!!

Hourglass Ambient Blush Palette

The hourglass ambient blush palette is out! Unfortunately for rouge members only at the moment, but will soon hopefully be available for VIBs and BIs soon!

Shiro Cosmetics: Sherlock Contouring Set and the Notebook collection

Hi!

So I'm super excited to say that I got the newest Shiro Sherlock contouring set that came out! I placed my order on Monday, and I received it today! I wasn't expecting it until next week at least, so that was a wonderful surprise on my doorstep. 

The New Too Faced Neutral Eyes Shadow Palette!

So here is the new Too Faced Natural Eyes Shadow Palette! After complaints about gritty pigments, Too Faced reformulated a couple of their colours to make them better quality. I wasn't too sure about Too Faced after buying their Chocolate Bar Palette and disliking it, but I bought this palette for a friend of mine for her bridal shower after seeing how beautiful it was (and she's a Too Faced fan!) and realised I wanted one for myself!

Lorac Pro vs. Lorac Unzipped, and a new blog header!

If any of you happened to be looking at my blog last night, it went through all sorts of changes while I tried to get my new header working! I'll probably be playing with it a bit more throughout the day as I customise the layout a bit more, but I was super happy to get a real header!

This header was made by Synthia Jester for me! It's absolutely beautiful, don't you think? I gave her a small idea, and she turned it into something awesome!! She has a lot of other very intricate and pretty vector pieces on her website, as well as illustrations and other graphic designs!

In other news, I did a DIY light box so I can hopefully take semi-better pictures for you all! It's still rather rough, but I enjoyed taking super bright pictures!

Liquid Liner Battle: Kat Von D versus Stila

So are you trying to find a liquid liner, and don't know what to choose? I wanted to do a quick review of the Stila Stay-All-Day Waterproof Liquid Liner and the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. I'll be reviewing the two black liners, Black and Trooper, respectively.

Lorac Pro vs Laura Mercier Artist's Palette Review

When owning several palettes, you just tend to reach for one. I actually only have three palettes. The two shown above and the Naked 1 palette. I love the ones I have and am so pleased. I had the Vice 2 palette for a little while but found that I never really reached for it, and I hadn't even touched several of the colours! So I got to swap it for a couple Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks that will be coming in within the next couple weeks :) 

In any case, these two palettes are the ones I reach for, leaving my poor Naked palette by its lonesome (except for when I reach for it for Half Baked. I might end up buying just the single eyeshadow after I use up this one since it's the main shade I go for on that palette!) 

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour!

So with finals coming up, surfing Sephora.com becomes more and more interesting! I ended up drinking a bit last week and tipsily clicked "Confirm Payment" on my mobile app, and some of those things on my wishlist came into me on Wednesday!

I'm not the sort that will go out on Black Friday. The crowds scare me, and I hear the horror stories of people being trampled and I cuddle even farther into my blankets at home. So from the safety of my home, I order things online instead!
