The first item I was originally going in for was one of the Nars single eye shadows because I liked the color and the name, so I decided I'd give it a try since I never used Nars make up other than a few lipsticks.
I actually like the packaging even though I've heard people say it'll get dirty easily and I don't mind as long as my eye shadow stays clean and protected!
But this is the shade Ashes to Ashes and I absolutely love it! I like the name and I find the color to be very gorgeous. It was described as a "violet brown" but its just a very pretty brown to me...others may disagree but I don't really see the violet in it. The pigmentation was amazing with my primer and went on so smoothly, I just...ugh...love it. Overall I loved it, except I cannot justify paying $25 for a single eye shadow but I went ahead and bought it anyways because why not?
The next item I splurged on was the Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection that was just recently released with the three new shades in it. I've had the Chocolate Bar palette for a while and I enjoyed the eye shadows so I figured I would enjoy the other Too Faced palettes as well.
I am a major sucker for nudes and neutral eye shadows so this really reeled me in! I like how it came with the examples to try different looks with each set of three's. All of them went on smoothly and had pretty good pigmentation. My favorite shade would probably be Honey Pot because it's a real pretty golden color and I also really liked Push-Up. This palette is a very convenient size for traveling and over all I am highly glad I bought it.
The 3rd item I purchased this round was the Ammo Palette from Urban Decay. I looked at it so many times and said I would wear half of the shades but I slowly managed to convince myself to buy it because it came with the primer potion and a cute little brush.
I really like the packaging with the skull design on the front and the inside print is so pretty with purples and blues. This is another good sized palette for traveling and The shades are actually a good set to travel with. I highly enjoy the shade Sin and Smog and already own full sizes of those but to my surprise I ended up finding a new favorite within the palette. I swatched Maui Wowie and I loved how it looked. I have yet to use it yet but I plan to in the near future. I also found Mildew to be a very beautiful green shade and I may try that in a look one day!
The final item was one I've been hunting down forever but couldn't find a Sephora that had it in stock. The Tarte's Be MATTEnificent palette!
And to my luck, my favorite Sephora ended up having only one in the store when I went in yay! After having used the Naked Basics palette by Urban Decay for a few months I figured I'd give this one a try and I am very pleased with my decision. I love love love the packing and the sades are so pretty! I love the shade Peach For the Star and View From the Taupe. I thought the names were clever and cute. Again, it is another good sized palette for traveling and has a good variety of shades even a black and brown that can double up as liner. I also enjoy the brush that came along with it and that rare and usually only happened with Urban Decay so I am pleased about that.
Over all I love all the items I bought this trip and I would have bought more but I was on a slight budget. Luckily the last day of this event I get paid and will go pick up a few more item! I know for sure my future sees another Nars single eye shadows and a Nars lipstick as well as some lip liners to pair up with my soon to be order from Melt Cosmetcis!
Thank you to Sephora and all the brands for such beautiful makeup that I can spend all my money on though I don't need anymore <3 I will ALWAYS buy more!
