Hello my peoples, sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Life kinda got crazy for a minute, and yeah. But I FINALLY got my Cherry Culture haul. Well really I had to go get it and bring it home. - -; And when I got home friday, I found yet ANOTHER note on my door from UPS about my 2nd Mac order, because I have to sign for it. So I rescheduled the delivery for Thursday, and hopefully I can wait for it to come in, and then go to work after. So I'm going to tell my boss, that I have a repair person or some such coming to my house, and that I have to be present to let them in, and it's one of those between this time, to this time, and if he comes early then I'll come into work, if not, if he comes in at like 2 or 3 or whenever, then I won't be in, but I'll call ahead and let her know. I'm going to tell both my lead at work and my boss tomorrow when I go in, just so I give them ample warning.
The things I do for make up I swear! But, for those of you in the UK, I don't know if you have this problem, but UPS will only attempt to deliver it 3 times, and if they miss you each time, then they send your stuff back to the shipper. Now, I had a box sent to my house but they left onna those lil note things, I forgot about it, and it got shipped back and my money wasn't refunded. So there's no way I'm losing out on 127.00 worth of stuff. So yeah... enough ranting, onto the good stuff!
So Cherry Culture had their stuff on sale, like they frequently do, and I took advantage of some stuff.
I got alot of eyeshadow palettes actually, just because I wanted a variety of colours, much more so then I have at the moment. And they're by Amuse. And I got
Two of the Amuse Bella Eyeshadow Palettes, One in Diva, and one in Romance. The colours are all really glittery and shimmery and that's really what drew me to the palettes in the first place, I haven't used them yet so I'll post a review later if someone requests it or if I just do it out of boredom about the pigmentation and fall outs of glitter and such should there be any. The colours really are pretty though. pinks and golds and taupes in the I believe it's the Diva palette and the Romance palette has brighter more cheerful shades of colours. I like 'em both.

Two of the Amuse Flower Palettes, there's really only two to choose from so I got both, one's in Pixie, the other in Princess. you get 6 eyeshadows and two decent sized blusher pans. Now I would like to say that these palettes appear very shimmery on the top, but once you use the top layer I believe the colours go sorta matte which kinda reminds me of the Dame Edna Beauty Powders from Mac. I've only just swiped a finger across one of the blushes to see and alot of the glitter came off, so yeah. I'll update with this once I start using it. http://www.cherryculture.com/cosmetics/makeup/amuse/amuse-flower-palette/17061&cat=0&page=4
I got an Amuse Girl double Mirror. I like the picture on the front, it's not really "nice" cause it's not metallic like the picture leads you to believe, it's actually plastic, but it's nicer then the plain ConAir one I've BEEN using in my makeup bag for awhile so I thought I'd get one. It's Type B just so you know, second one from the left, and I really wanted the one all the way at the end on the right but it's out of stock, even now. But I like it.

And finally from Amuse I got two of their Ice Palettes, although the covers say "Diamond" palette, probably because they have diamond cuts in the shadow itself to give it that textured look that NYX's single shadows have yah know? Now I had thought I asked for the Pixi and the Princess again, but they sent me Pixi and Midnight. o.O doesn't matter though I love the colours in all the palettes. And i've used the pixi one of this type already saturday, and the pigmentation was pretty good for something that cheap.

Then, I got a eyeshadow quad / duo blusher kit thingie from Starry. There were two colours to choose from, one purple, and one blue, although in the picture given of said make up, neither appear to be the colours. The picture depicts a pink one, and a white one. Go figure, but I got the blue one. And it has four shades of blue eyeshadow on top, very pigmented, although it does smell a bit powdery, kinda like baby powder and one of the shadows is a bit chalky, but all in all for the price, it's pretty good. And the on the second level, cause it has more underneath, there's two blusher colours, one a sort of light peach colour, the other a darker corally colour. They're both pretty nice, although I've never tried peachy coloured blushers before, I tend to stick to pinks, but I'm willing to branch out and try it. The compact in and of itself is pretty small, so it's ideal to toss in your bag and use it with a powder compact for touch ups through the day. Also comes with two sponge tip applicators who's plastic handles, i might add, match the blue pastic of the whole case.

Then I got a Mood lipgloss from Starry, which, really just looks like a clear gloss to me, I haven't tried it yet, but I really bought it more so for the packaging then buying into the gimmick. It doesn't smell bad, or really of anything to be honest. There's a slight fruity smell I think, which is always a pleasent alternative to some really strong smelling glosses that you have to smell all day long. This gloss also doesn't have a doe foot applicator, or a brush, it's a straight up stick. It reminds me of the japanese glosses that ChefCaffy sent to PinkieCharm in one of PinkieCharm's haul videos. It's just a flat applicator, and I've never used anything like that, nor did I know that it had one when I bought it, I just liked the butterfly on the bottle. I got one in purple, just an fyi. Now the "mirror" on the back is nothing more then a piece of cheap plastic, and you can hardly see yourself in it, but again for 2.50 you really can't expect granduere yah know?

Then I got this lip balm from a company called Crazy Rumors. They make lip balms in the taste of specific drinks. They have a coffee set, they have a Tea set, and the one I got, was the Crazy Rumors Brew Tea Lip Balm in Orange Bergamot (Earl Grey). I've only used it once, but I have to say I like the texture, I like the scent, it didn't wear off for awhile, and my lips felt really soft and smooth when it finally did. I'd rate it up there with a couple of other balms I like, such as Burts Bees and Chapstix. So yeah, Crazy Rumor's is a pretty good alternative to either of those.

And Finally, I got myself a crapton, well not really, but a bunch of NYX Girls polishes. ^^ I'm really into nails at the moment, espically since I've had my acrylics off since mid December, and have decided to let my breathe and grow until my Birthday in August, and then I'll get them redone in acrylic. But yeah I got;
Mother of Pearl, which is this pearly irridecent colour, I like it.
Candy Glitter, which is a baby pink with loads of glitter in it.
Silver, which well should be self explainatory.
Aqua Glitter, which is also self explainatory.
And Black, please see above.
I had bought a black Polish from Milani, but I dont like the pigmentation on it. It doesn't cover very well, it's kinda cheap, and yeah you have to apply like 3 coats of Milani just to get it dark enough to not see bits of your nail through the black streaks. So I thought I'd give the NYX one a shot, since the other black NYX I bought in Asphalt is black but with multi coloured glitters in it.
I'm currently wearing Mother of Pearl, over Mac's Vericose Violet, and it's really pretty. Very purplely, blue reflecty, milky, prettiness. <3>>Tami
