I recently splurged on some Pressed Palettes, heres Haul 1 - all from Sephora - Tokidokis Soda Shop Palette, Tokidokis Robbery Palette, Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Truth, and Sephora Collection Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude.
With Ebates offering 8% Cash back - (
Referral Link here! ) I paid:
- Tokidoki Sodashop: $35
- Tokidoki Robbery: $39
- Kat VonD - $10
- Moonshadow in the Nude - $28
Up first is Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Truth - I nabbed it on sale for $10, and its no longer available on Sephora. However, for $10 I got:
* 8 Pressed Eyeshadows at 1.4 grams each
* A plastic Key covered and Golden Monogrammed Case
* Two tiny eyeshadow brushes
- Since this was on sale, I snatched this for a mere $0.89 an gram! Original price was $34, which ends up being $3.04 an gram, and many are on sale currently for $24 which is $2.14 an gram!
It comes nestled inside a white cardboard accordian holder and pretty smokey pewter tissue paper and a golden sticker. Inside is a white plastic holder, with a full mirror inside top.
The creamy shades, much emphases on greens (at last!)
Colors Left to Right: Sugar Skull, Long Distance, Snake Eyes, Finland (Cream), Prague, Galeano, Rehab, Sister
Then there is the
Sephora Collection Baked Moonshadow - In the Nude. This is currently $28.
Inside there is:
* 10 Baked Domed Eyeshadows at .5 grams each
This is a little more expensive at $5.60 a gram.
A very nice bronze metallic lid, with a full mirror inside lid.
All the colors!
