Quick Look: Book of Shadows II

Maggie of THE POLKA-DOTTED APPLE had a giveaway, and I won, omg! I'm never this lucky...


The holy book of shadows! I still can't believe I have it! Thanks Maggie for having an insanely awesome giveaway! It comes with 16 eyeshadows, 2 eyeliners, and a mini UDDP. I really, really have to do EOTDs now! no excuses!


LOOK at the shades! The first three rows are right up my alley. I love neutrals shiny or not. The last row contains more daring shadows that I would use on special occasions. I have never tried urban decay before, but I do have this little 4 palette one that I am saving. I like the texture of these shadows more than my NYX.


Book of secrets! Gotta love the peacock designs.


PRETTY cover! These are sold out in stores, so you'll have to look elsewhere to find it. I took a look at the new Alice in Wonderland palette, and I like this one better! This palette has 8 LE shades, and the Alice one has no new shades. I would hold out for the book of shadows III if you missed out on this one.


Silly, but I LOVE that container for mineral powder! It's been on my list of things I NEED (vs want). Glad I finally have one- a cute one too! I need it to mix up all my mineral samples from EDM. The lippies look real cute, but I haven't tried them yet. I like to keep things unused cause when I'm sad or bored I'll go and open something new.

Cinnamoroll is too cute! She put these stickers ALL over the box! :)

I was at CVS and saw these on display. This is one of my current favorites. Sometimes I think it's too sweet smelling, but overall I like it. I got one for me and one for...

    Wow, what a great prize!!! Can't wait to see some eotds (;

    I smell pretty!
    My fav artist ATM is Lady Gaga ♥

    I watched Time Traveler's Wife and it was also just "okay" for me too. I just wanted to watch Rachel McAdams (; The book was a lot better IMO (isn't it always XD) there's a lot in the movie that someone who read the book wouldn't understand... so I'd def. reccommend reading the book :D It jumps around a bit and takes some time getting used to all the flashbacks but it's definitely more fulfilling than the movie.

    As for the headers, I just added a background attribute to my sidebar css :D you have to make the text line-height the same height as the image for it to show up fully. Hope I explained okay XD If not lmk and I can email you the code ^^

    Haha opening new things is honestly the best feeling ever isn't it? Except whenever I buy new things I have no self-control at all and must open it right away! So I guess I'd rather buy things when I'm in a bad mood and open it right away than to buy things and wait for a rainy day, it'd drive me crazy!
