This look is super easy, and not so fancy... but a nice look for something quick ;D

Beauty From The Earth (Mint & Deep Blue Greens)



Beauty from the Earth Cosmetics owner Crystal gave me the chance to try a few of her pigments about a month ago. I took tons of swatches and reviews when my computer decided to die on me. I was so upset, since I had looks to upload and so much work done. So now I'm redoing some looks I had done before they got lost. Tonight I will be uploading the swatches and product info.

I did this look to do some shopping with the family for Thanksgiving. I love the Mint color, it's been a color I've been looking to get. I needed a really good pigmented Mint and this is the perfect mint shade. Illusion is also one of my favorites, being a beautiful blue green.

I hope you like this look, please comment!

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II (Review & Swatches)


I just recently celebrated my birthday on Oct 7th. Two days later I received a special card in the mail from my sister soul Debbie aka aiversonbabe on twitter. I loved her birthday card, and she sent me a awesome certificate for Ulta! I was so shocked and honestly it was so generous of her. I'm very lucky to have a friend like her, and this is not just because of my gift. She is a awesome friend who is there when you need her, who listens, makes you laugh, and is a great friend. For that, is a true gift to have! It's very hard to find supportive women out there, that aren't selfish, that aren't judgemental, but make you grow as a person. For that I wanted to give her a special lil thank you again. I always think of her when I use my Book of Shadows! <3>

REVIEW
______________________________________

So after my bad experience with the "Sustainable Palette" (hinges broke after two uses) lol not so "sustainable". I was quite put off of Urban Decay after that. Although, I still do use their 24/7 liners almost everyday & I love them.

When I went to Ulta I wasn't sure on buying this palette, but I was quite impressed with the amount of shadows, liners, and mini potion that was included. I mean it comes out only $3.00 per eye shadow! I call that a bargain! You girls know me and my bargins ;D lol I thought it was a great combination of matte, shimmer & glitter.
I do have issues with their glitter shadows, with all the fallout. I know many women who can't stand the glitter shadows as well.. but since there was only two that were so glittery I still went for it.

Each of the shadows are so pigmented, and soft. I love how my brush only needs to touch the shadows lightly to pick up such color. Each shadow is gorgeous in it's own way. Which is great, because the one color I wasn't sure about ..is my favorite! I love "Sellout" it's a plain looking color but a awesome highlight. I've been using it every day and I'm worried about using it to much! lol. Might have to restock up on that. I did try the glitter shadows again, using a more sticky base, like a NYX pencil, and had less fallout. Which was good because the color Midnight Cowboy Rides Again is gorgeous on the lid.

The liners are by far my favorite product from Urban Decay. They are so vibrant, and I have many. This palette comes with Zero (very black) & Bourbon (sparkly rich brown). They glide each time so smooth, with no drag which is easy on the eyes. I was lucky, because I was almost out of my old Zero liner. ;D Even though travel size, these liners will last you for a very long time & not just on wear.

I was very pleased with my purchase, and if they come out with another book of shadows I'll be sure to buy again. I am very impressed with this book of shadows, on the quality, price, & daily usage. Please let me know if you have the same product and your thoughts on it in the comment section!
