Urban Decay Feminine Palette Review and Swatches

Sale alert Angels!

Back with a quick alert to let you know about a fabulous palette I came across at my local Sephora that was on super sale.  The Feminine palette, originally $36.00 is on sale for $14 in-store at Sephora and for $16 on their website:   Urban Decay Feminine Dangerous Fun Palettes

First, I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay palettes in general.  The Naked Palette 1 and 2 are easy faves, as well as the Smoked palette.  These are invaluable for me, especially when it comes to travel and glam on the go.  So I didn't hesitate to give this palette a shot at this low price.
Well I wasn't disappointed.  Their shadows are always high-impact, with impressive pigmentation and true to pan color.

Here is the palette:

These colors are just as the name denotes:  Feminine.  Soft and pretty, just about each shade could be worn alone but this incorporates well into any makeup lover's collection, and the colors aren't redundant.  

Here are swatches on my hand, from left to right, Bordello, Skimp, and AC/DC:

And Gunmetal, Hijack, Lost:

To boot, UD palettes always come with a cool little "bonus" like a brush, an eyeliner or in this case, a travel sized Lip Junkie lipgloss-- a pretty, modestly shimmery neutral shade that will work with any of the shades in the palette.  Here is a swatch:

Told ya these palettes are absolutely perfect for travel!

Well I can't wait to find a free moment to play with this palette and create some fun looks.   Overall I give this very high marks and recommend it not only because of the price (CAN'T be beat for UD eyeshadow) but also because of the quality.  Will keep you posted!

Until next time Angels.... Happy Haulin!

Sugarpill Sweetheart Palette

Hello Angels,

In this post I will be reviewing the Sweetheart Palette from Sugarpill.  I have reviewed the other two palettes here as well. This palette has colors that Nicki Minaj would wear during her Barbiex10 days.  

Here is a pic of the palette.  As is customary with Sugarpill palettes it comes in a pretty pink case with a mirror inside.

From the top, left to right we have:
Dollipop- a matte bright pink fuchsia
After party- a bright matte cobalt
Midori- a matte bright Kelly green
Tako- a matte true white (one of the best in the biz)
Did I mention they were bright?  Lol

Here is a swatch on MAC NW43 skin:

These swatches are without primer and  the first swipe.  They are the perfect compliment to what you have in your stash.  Don't be afraid to try them and incorporate them into your eye looks.  You won't be sorry.  

Buying these three palettes means you own all but one shadow from the brand.  You can't say that about many other brands.  Log on toSugarpillshop.com to order.  Shipping is now $6 for any order under $100.

Try them out and let me know what you think.
Happy Haulin'!

LaFemme Blushes

Psssst!!!!
Hi Angels, come in closer...LOL
I am going to let you in on an industry pearl.   What would you say if I told you that you could find blushes that are as pigmented and pretty as MAC and NARS for about five dollars a pop?

Are you dying to know yet? LOL

Look below. You will find my latest haul of LaFemme blushes. I bought them in palette form so I could put them in a sturdy black palette for less than ten bucks made just for them.   Here are the colors from left to right:
Mauve Sparkle, Mulberry, Bordeaux, Golden Ruby, Purple Passion, and Lilac Champagne.

 

 

Here are the blushes swatched. As you can see they are pretty true to the color in the pan.   This was with one pass on each blush.   Each color can be built up or toned down to your liking.

 

 

 

 

Here are the second set that go into the twelve well palette.
From left to right you have: Mocha, Plum Frost, Indian Rose, Peach Sparkle Dusty Rose and Crystal cafe.  These are also beautiful colors. You will see the colors better in the swatches.

 

 

 

Here are the second set of blushes swatched from left to right:
Mocha, Plum Frost, Indian Rose, Peach Sparkle, Dusty Rose and Crystal Cafe.   Just pretty!

All of these colors and more are available at MakeUpMania

and Camera Ready Cosmetics for purchase.   For the price of two NARS blushes and 4 MAC blushes you get twelve slighty smaller blushes and a palette. There is even a dupe for NARS' best selling blush Orgasm.   It is called coral spice and of course it never stays in stock. Good buy? I guess you will have to be the judge.

Try them out for yourselves!
