Totally true. No comparison between Scratch and Jete.

Soooo, first off let me just say prep n prime lip is awesome sauce.  I've never worn ANY lip product that long without eventually feeling the need to wipe it off and just apply lip balm.  So it's the truth.  I might catch some heat, but I gotta say Rocker is my least fav outta all the lippies.  Dunno if I applied to much but I can kinda feel the glitter on my lips, no likey. lol  Not a color I reach for often, but its ok.

Excuse the hair, and the dewy schweaty-ness of my face lol

I wore CYY with NYX Dolly Pink liner, and a smidge of MAC clear gloss.

The driver then volunteered to go with me to check with this Sam guy, while being extremely apologetic.  We got buzzed in and Mr. UPS goes and tells Sam that he believes he delivered my package there by mistake.  Then...*cue angels singing* Sam comes out with my !  I almost did a cartwheel because my insides were all .  Ladies and gents, I now have my Rocker BUs, my Moth Browns (got a BU since I missed the Barbie one), my Hidden Treasure blush with a side of Prep + Prime Lip.  Thanks to all of you for understanding my fury and supporting my pursuit!  I swear the man does. not. get. it.  I feel normal here.

I find myself putting on Moxie the most because its most wearable day to day and I feel like it makes my lips look juicy. Yesterday I had Tan pigment on the lid with Spectacle of yourself in the crease and Rocker on my lips, I thought the combo was pretty amazing together. Today I have on Jete on the lid, MB in the crease, Guac on my lower lash line and Moxie on the lips.

 

MB when swatched on me looks more blueish purple but when I apply it on I can see the brown more. All in all I'm happy with the shadows esp. Guac I don't think it was a fav on here but its def. pretty! I don't have anything like it so I'm happy I got it. I still haven't got a chance to play with my lipglasses, but I don't think I'm going to open them anytime soon because I don't see myself getting to them for awhile.

ive never done it before and received a pallette in a swap

the one color that didnt have a magnet shattered everywhere ..i have HUMID now on every inch my desk

im running out of space with these single shadows
