NEW IN! The Sephora Edition


Let me just start by saying, I have the best friends ever. Recently, my friend Achu was on holiday in America, before going, she said those magic words ... "Do you need anything from Sephora" immediately, I gave her a list of Hourglass Products I was dying to own and the new Urban Decay Electric Palette. Unfortunately, after searching high and low, none of the Sephora's near her stocked Hourglass, so I readily gave her my second list, consisting of blushes for my mother and myself, and some MAC stuff for the kit. Alas, that wasn't meant to be either. Instead of the MAC stuff I ended up with the Kat Von D Monarch Palette!

Urban Decay Electric Palette - A palette full of highly pigmented bright colours? Sign me up. Even though I may not use this everyday, think of all the potential it has for photoshoots and professional work. (Btw, the colours shattered, despite being packed among clothes.. but do not fear, it was nothing a little rubbing alcohol couldn't fix) I can't wait to use this. (let me know if you'd like to see it on me? One toned down and one super creative maybe?)

Kat Von D Monarch Palette - Have I not mentioned enough times how much I hate pre-made palettes? Why did I get this you ask? For one, I am a sucker for anything to do with Kat Von D. Girl Crush alert. Not only is she a kickass tattoo artist (my dream is to one day have her tattoo me) and brilliant artist, the girls got her makeup down pat. Skillzzz.
The Monarch palette is warm toned with a good mix of mattes, shimmers and frosty (I mean shineeyyy) colours.. I played around with it today, but I cannot wait to come up with a several fun looks with it.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful - Originally, I wanted Tipsy and I got Blissful for my mom. Somehow though, both of us liked the other one better. So I ended up with Blissful. After raves of these blushes, I tried it on and it gives me the most natural flush. I say flush because I actually turn this colour when I workout. Its just.. woah.

Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Pop - LOOK AT IT. Yes, I'm aware that the Clinique cheek pops have supposedly released in India, but a) this is INR 600 less in the States and b) after practically stalking my clinique counters for the last month, I still haven't spotted them. Btw, under my roof, with my mother is peach pop, which I plan on err, borrowing .. just to try, ofcourse.

As per usual, I will report back on all of them. I have a feeling that Tarte's Blissful has made me convert to Blush. *gasp, shock, horror*.

  2. Clinique Cheek Pops are INR 600? I thought they were $21 in the States? I love them, though - I still want Plum Pop! I have Tipsy and love the coralness of it, but I'll have to check out Blissful too!

    Also, YES PLEASE to looks from the UD and KVD! I would so not say no to a tutorial either... y'know... for science! :D

    1. Hah, thank you! :) I'm sure it can be all neutral-ized. But yeah, I've been using it for some bold I-won't-walk-out-the-house-in-this looks! They should be up soon!
