Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland

Sorry that I didn't get this up the same day I uploaded my video. If you haven't see my video, please check it out. So, Urban Decay has come out with another book of shadows! How exciting!! As you all already know the Alice in Wonderland movie comes out next month in 3D. I am really loving this palette. What I love the most is that if you don't get the chance to buy this limited edition palette before it's gone....you have no worries. You can still purchase all of the colors separately from the permanent line. I think is this pretty awesome because like other cosmetic lines.....items are limited edition which means limited quantities. And once they're gone, you can't find those products anymore unless you go on ebay. I wouldn't recommend Ebay for buying this new book of shadows. Someone on Ebay was selling it for $71 plus shipping when the palette really only costs $52. Ebay is a last resort for products....FYI you will be paying more than usual. I want to write the list of colors you get and give ya'll the permanent name for each color as well. I'm not sure if it is available on Sephora's website just yet. But I do know people have already purchased this palette in advance straight from Urban Decay. People are now starting to receive there orders. So hurry before it's too late!! 6 eyeshadows have glitter and the rest are very frosty or shimmery! I hope this was helpful. Enjoy your Alice in Wonderland book of shadows.

Update- MAC and Sigma brushes

Hello everyone.....so I'm in the process of making more videos to upload on youtube. I'm sure everyone already knows about the MAC in Lillyland collection. Well the only thing I got when the collection frist came out was the Pearlmatte face powder. I think it's so pretty as an all over bronzer or even as a blush. I've been using it as blush since I've purchased it. I've also been wanting to get the cremeblend blush in so sweet so easy....well it's sold out everywhere around me. I'm a little upset because I've been trying to get my hands on it for some time now. When I went to the MAC counter to keep the new collection out, they were already sold out of that cremeblend blush. I'm very disappointed because I've gone to like 2 different malls and they both don't even have the tester for it. I've decided to order it online but I'm afraid that it'll be totally different than what it looks online. I haven't been able to see it in person so that's kind scary. I'm not a big fan of ordering online. Speaking of online....I finally purchased some Sigma makeup brushes. I've been wanting some of there brushes for a very long time....I would say since June of last year. Why has it taken me so long to order them? I don't know! I've basically let myself go by what others have to say. I've heard nothing but good things about Sigma makeup brushes so we'll see when I get them this week. I think I'm going to do 2 videos on the brushes. One of my initial thoughts/reaction and the second video on what I actually think of them. Probably in a few weeks. I have to test them out before I say anything about them. Well I think I've done enough rambling about random things. I will try to upload a video soon. Thanks for following my blog and watching my videos.
