I definitely think I am going to pick up one of them, I just need to get out to the counter and try them out I think before I decide what to buy. The High Gloss in Berry and Honey are two of my favorites. I have a couple lipsticks from them, but I don’t remember the colors offhand.

In the NYX I decided to stick to the bold eye New Years Resolution. I got two shadows with matching jumbo eye pencils…which is like a cream shadow in a big pencil. I picked up Pacific (a pretty bright blue) and Lime. I also grabbed a white for highlight. On sunday I did the lime jumbo pencil with the lime shadow and the white highlight and a darker green I already had for lining and it’s really cool. I was keeping it somewhat understated since it was easter sunday, but the boyf commented on the bright green and said it looked nice and suited me. I could definitely do some out there looks though because the cream with the shadow makes the colors really pop. They did have some really shimmery shadows, but I didn’t get that kind. I haven’t checked out their lipsticks…so I’ll have to keep that on the to do list. Too bad you don’t have an Ulta near you. That’s the only place around here that I know that carries the brand.

Girlfriend! I missed you! How did the birthday party go? I hope everything went well.

Pearls of Light is really pretty too! I hate to be your pusher but if you get something then I’ll have to vicariously live through you. Do you have any fave EL lip shades?

I have tried a few Nyx shadows. They are hard to come by up here in NorCal for some reason. I think they are great for the price and you get a ton of product. For me, though, the shades I got were a touch too shimmery. This was years ago though, so maybe they changed their formulation. What colors did you get? I’ve heard they have some nice lipsticks too, but I can’t find em up here for the life of me!

BTW Have you ever tried the NYX brand? I read something about it on the Craigslist Beauty boards and I picked up a couple shadows while I was at Ulta over the weekend. They’re great shadows at a drugstore price. You should check them out if you get a chance.

Watch out though! They have two other colors that are more golden and would prob’ly look super-hot on you!
