I was a completely well adjusted young adult till recently I’ve gone completely bonkers!
It all started innocently with Wishbone was recommending some cosmetics samples from Pure Luxe. I did some research on it, there were many good comments about it – especially this Rainbow Eyeshadow Tutorial, which impressed me.
I picked up the courage to order just a few items online. And this was what came in the mailbox some while after :
Later on, Sylvia posted about some links about free minerals sample kits which intrigued me. I ordered a sample kit from Everyday Minerals.
After using it for a while, I found out that I enjoyed using them – my skin took it well and I liked how natural it looked on me. And before I knew it, I started to click on the purchase button. And look at what came to me some weeks later.
Goodness!
And on top of that, I’ve discovered livejournal sprees! And I immediately got fascinated by this very colourful 88 Eyeshadow Palette.
The day I got the palette, even though I was not skilled at eye make up, I had a blast of a time trying out different eye looks. It was so exciting to me! I was like a little girl given with a lot of colours to play with!
And for some reason, I was itching to try something new. I decided that I wanted a neutral palette this time. However, the one at Coastal Scents were a tad too expensive when I calculated the dollar conversion as well as the shipping charges.
It was only when I stumbled upon this seller from ebay. Based in Hong Kong, she was said to be the manufacturer of the palette. So I’m getting it direct!
This is my new 28 neutral eyeshadow palette. Isn’t this absolutely gorgeous? I love playing with all of my new colours! Its so much fun!
In particular, at this point of time, some of my loves would be Pureluxe’s Nymph Blush as well as the Nymph-o-mania lip colour for its healthy, natural, yet sexeh colour :-)
Unfortunately now, I have so much mekap now that my side table could hardly contain all of them that its spilling to the floor! No more mekap for me for now.
At least not until my next obsession.
i bet the “no more mekap” fever will be gone in 7 days time….. LOL
Oh dear, I am the first culprit :P
*smacks mus!*
Wishbone
I guess good things must share … just with some people, they get a little overzealous … ehm … :P
i am a culprit too!
and i have so many sample jars too.. sighness!
Arrrghhh!! The colours!! So many!!
1 word. wow!
Sylv

Moby
Yes, its just so cathartic to take a look at all the different colours :D
UFC

Whoa!!! I like those little samplers. heh heh

Pamela
I think its great cos you buy small packages of them to see if you like them before committing to the big size :)
UFC

Whoa!! That’s an insane amount of palettes!! I love that neutral palette.. it looks like something I’d wear on a daily basis!
Bombchell

Mariam
Buon Giorno. Mi Chiamo Marina :P
Ivy
Indeed! Its a very wearable palette that anyone can wear on a daily basis. Since its neutral, the colours suit pretty much everyone :)
Die… now I’m tempted to buy also……………
Which one? Hahaha! You could try them for yourself, its pretty affordable, but the quality is good :)
hi, may i know where did you get your 88 palette from?
I got it from a livejournal spree, but I dont think that she’s doing one at the moment, so you want to take the risk, you could try ebay in the link I gave above.
