~Swatches + Review~ Lorac GloGetter Palette.....

Hey Everyone!!

The Lorac GloGetter Palette ( exclusively at Ulta) was the first piece of Lorac I've ever owned. I have heard great things about the brand and this palette was so affordable at $20, it was hard to pass up!! I heard on the blogsphere how it was sold out in some Ultas but my Ulta had at least, 8 of these babies. *shrugs*

My Instagram photo of GloGetter....

 The palette is all eye shadows with some neutrals and brights in the mix. The shadows are all shimmers as well...

 Here are the swatches....

 Here is a look a did with the first three shades. I'm drawn towards neutrals, of course.

 The consistency is sheer with a tad bit of build-ability, depending on your brush skills.

Overall....

The Lorac GloGetter palette just didn't do it for me. Its beautiful in the palette but I was struggling with the color payoff. Are all Lorac palettes like this?

I did like the the blues and the purple in the palette but the color payoff on these shades were sheer as well. I don't see a use for the palette in my collection, so its going back.

~Swatches and Looks~ Khroma Beauty Shebang Quick Transformation Set....

Hey Everyone!!

So, yeah....What you are seeing is Khroma Beauty, the Shebang Transformation Kit, to be  exact. LOL!

See what happened WAS, it was 50% off at Ulta so this kit was $7.49. I wanted try some of the Kardashian empire makeup. I swear, these kids got their hands in everything. However, that can prove to not be good. Keep reading.:)

 The Shebang Transformation Kit includes:

-Shadow Palette( all metallics)

-Black Eyeliner

-Sponge Applicator

-A pair of lashes

 Here are swatches with a brush of the eye shadow palette.

 I gave this palette and liner to go's around the park. I'll save the lashes for some other look.

~Overall~

-Over saturation of all thing Kardashian pulverized this palette. The quality is low grade. I have beauty supply makeup from Kleancolor and Nicka K better than this shadow. I will say, the blending is good on them, for cheaply made shadow. With the right brushes and technique, they are workable.

-The black liner is trash. Its not dark enough nor does it stick to the water line.

-I like the color set up, the bronzes and golds but the metallic texture is chunky and clumpy.

-DO NOT, if you buy this kit, DO NOT spend $15 on it. Find it on sale. This whole Khroma Beauty thing could have been a hit like the Nicole for OPI polish they did but its a no go for this kit.

Stay tuned....I have TWO other Khroma Beauty palettes to show you.:)))))

~Haul~ Ulta Goodies...

Hey Everyone!

Ulta has just opened a new store only 30 minutes away from me. Before, the closest store was about an hour away in a very heavy traffic area. I'm not the girl I used to be, a hour away to shop used to be nothing to me but I don't do that now, unless I'm in the car RIDING with someone.lol!

My first trip into the new store, I didn't want to leave. lol! This time I didn't want to leave again either!

I did pick up a couple of goodies, keeping all under $30 and feeling good.:)

 Grabbed some cuticle remover for my weekly at home pedis and favorite reconstructing conditioner, Joico K-Pak. I've never seen the small size of this product.

 I used to love Ulta store makeup line and I haven't had much of it in a long time. Seems like the price went up on it a bit. They had a sale on the some of the lip products...$4 a piece of these glosses.

I've had one Essence Cosmetics product and it was a polish and really like it, so I got three more polishes and lipstick and I'm going back soon to pick up some the glosses...and polish.

I'm still excited to have a store soooo close to me I could SCREAM!!! LOL! Now if we can get a Sephora between Charlotte and Atlanta in my area, my life will be complete.:)
