I had the worst shock today haha! I went to CVS after picking up my package with SP from my UPS box and I didn't realize until I was already home that I had left it at CVS! Luckily a nice employee grabbed it for me and held it until I could get back. I love when employees are surprisingly nice since many of the ones here around UT are just...idk. They act like they don't care about their jobs and I guess I can't blame them but basic manners are still required. Anyway, now that I'm wearing SP I don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand it's nice because even on my palest pale skin I can't over do it but I can't see the shimmer really. Maybe I need to go out in the sun and look at it on my skin but so far I'm a little meh.

It's strange. I went to a MAC store to swatch plumful before I bought it online and their entire stock was coated with that white stuff. They had no idea what it was.
I think the lippies sometimes bloom sorta like how chocolate will after a while.

You'll definitely see it in the sun, and anytime the light hits it right. That's when you know you're wearing the right highlight!

Idk, I like my highlights to be "BOOM! POW! HOW YA DOIN'?" but maybe I'll end up liking this because as a blush it won't be super shiny and frosty in low light.

So... I have not played with any of these colours before and I decided that I'm not going to part with Plumful like I had originally planned. My mum and sister will just have to divide Freckletone, Once Upon a Time, and Altered State amongst themselves. I can't wait to play with these tomorrow.

I went to bed early and just woke up so I decided to play with my stuff. I'm really surprised. I like all the lipsticks especially Cockney. I'm really starting to get into red lipsticks. I probably would have tried all of these before if I realized they were lustres. I know many don't like this formula but it is my favorite. I paired Cockney with Supercontinental blush because Erine said peachy blushes worked well with Shell Pearl and it was the first one I saw in my stash. Shell Pearl looked okay. I don't know if I like it as much as Light Year though. I already had all the shadows but I bought them anyway. I love Aztec Brick but I tend to wear quad shadows together and I thought a single shadow would help me branch out. I didn't realize I already had Altered State. I will keep it though.

Thanks to the person who mentioned Carbon for tightlining. I tried it and it looked good. I can't believe I bought so much from a Permanent/Repromote collection but I'm really happy with my purchases.

If I can lay my hands on my camera, I will do some later.

Altered State and Carbon are on it's way to me, and I've gone back and put Once Upon a Time and Aztec Brick in my cart. They're just waiting for my final answer.
