Hey guys, so this is my first post, I thought I'd show you my MU collection, so feel free to leave any comments, I'll try to be as precise as I can as to what's what, but if you have any question or suggestions for must haves that I'm missing, feel free to reply!
So for my brushes, it's a kit that I got from ebay, there are 20 brushes (plus three I already had) and I got them for 25$, shipping included, but I really got what I paid for, because the brushes are a little bit stiff, and I'm missing a few ones too... Such as a foundation brush, or blending brush (the two colored one)... But it came in a beautiful case and for a first kit it's good enough.

For my face stuff, I'll start from the top, from left to right. First I have to tell you guys, I work in a drugstore, and I sometimes get testers for free so you are gonna see some of these, and sometimes they have those plastic displays and we just cut out the eyeshadows and blushes out of them and give them to the employees.
So the half moon like bronzer is from Annabelle, it's from their summer 2008 collection, it came in the palettes, it was the same one for the three different palettes, and it doesn't have a name. Next to that is my Clinique Blush/Bronzer in Iced Lotus/Sunkissed. Next is my trusty store brand sharpener
Then you have my Yves Rocher blush in Rose Douceur, which I think is not sold in the U.S. Sorry!
In the second row I have my NYC Smooth Mineral Loose Foundation Powder, that I use under my eyes when I work with loose pigments. Then my Maybelline Pure Makeup in Creamy Natural. Next is the new Smoothing Primer from Revlon's Beyond Natural collection. Next is my LE Marcelle Tiger's Eye Dome Bronzing Powder, which I absolutely love. Third row is my NYC Smooth Mineral Loose Finishing Powder, used for the same purpose as above, my Cover Girl clean pressed powder in 120 ( creamy natural), and finally my Physician's Formula Concealer/Green Corrector liquid stick.

For my pigments, the four ones from the top are Eye Sparles from Splash, the blue one is Radiant Ocean, the green one is Tropical Lime, the purple one is Purple Rain (lol) and the pink one is Starfish Coral. The fifth one is from Clinique, it's a Glow Crazy Powder Highlighter in Gold Dust, but I prefer to use it as a pigment rather than an highlighter.

My NYX eyeshadows... They are Frosted Lilac, Beauty Queen, Purple, My Favorite Color, Golden Dune (beautiful!), Daisy, and Violet.
Attachment 6355
The two eyeshadows at the top are from Cover Girl's Fall 2008 collection, they call them eye enhancers, the blue and yellow one is called Blazing Blues, and the green and pink one is called firecracker. The third one is a little blurry, its LE from L'Oréal, it's from their Wear Infinité collection, it's an eyeshadow trio called Galaxy Grey. I love it it's a soft white, pale grey and dark grey shimmery shadows. In the second row, also from CG's fall 2008 collection is the Turquoise Tempest eye enhancer, then the Rimmel Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in Urban Beach, and then my Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow LE 10-Shade Pallette in Warm&Toasty.

Now for my second eyeshadow picture, the first one is L'Oréal H.I.P. Bright Shadow Duo in Reckless,the other one is a store brand light blue/navy that I don't use that much, The other one is Clinique High Impact Eye Shadow Trio in Sugar Sugar and Rose Wine Duo, which is a soft white, soft pink and soft brown trio. The next one is a similar Clinique trio, it is an eye palette called Strawberry Fudge and Sugar Sugar. At the bottom it is the rest of the Annabelle palette I was telling you about, I showed you the bronzer, now this is the eyeshadow palette, called Natural Nomade, it's really pretty, and you can see how we cut the plastic display yea freebies! The two next ones are also trios from Annabelle that were cut out of the plastic displays, they are from the previous collection, but I can't remember what they are... Sorry!
