Gallery just opened by Kat Von D.http://www.wonderlandla.net/
Being a fellow artist and one who loves the darker arts, I was really excited to see such a gallery started and the current featured artist, Kevin Lllewellyn receive well deserved recognition. In the Gallery shop is this 20 inch necklace featuring a fetal skull inspired by one of Kevin Llewellyn's paintings.Prices are surprisingly affordable for a number of Merch items.. My only con is the way they wrapped the items I bought. When buying from a gallery you expect proper wrapping-certainly something other than a dime bag baggie and cheap tissue paper.

These are great for blending! Made really well and the "odd" shape actually works much better than the round ones in my opinion. These are dense and thick yet soft. Approx 1/2 inch thick. A worthwhile tool in your makeup arsenal.

Ok...this is damn good mascara! Wicked good brush and formula. You will be pleased fo-sho!

Beauty Insider Free gift from Sephora for my birthday! Vanilla BDay cake is yummy and in a great travel size-not too small and not too large. You can buy the kit (as shown above) with 3 scents.

I am digging this FREE case from Sephora. Every order you can order this for free by putting in the code= MOBILE and still get your free samples! I have just ordered another one b/c I love the B/W stripes so much and it fits my phone perfectly. Thanks Sephora!!

I am COMPLETELY smitten with each palette from Kat's line and this brand new palette is no different. I am REALLY happy with her new cream shadow (gorgeous) formula. Each palette has one (previous formulas dried out quickly and are not very pigmented but still work as a base or eyeliner well enough). My only semi con in this palette is: It seems most every Kat VonD palette has a bronze or copper like color in it. This will undoubtedly sell out like many of the others that now sell for $200+ on ebay.

This is my 2nd review (see 1st if thinking about buying) on this peel. Ordered this one more time as my FREE sample at the end of my Sephora order. My 1st application a few weeks ago, did nothing for me. This time I did a full on glycolic facial cleanser (Dermalogica) first, then a gentle scrub (Dermalogica) and THEN, I did this peel. ONLY then did I feel the peel on my face and noticed a moderate difference. Perhaps it requires a few treatments before you really notice the benefits? That being said, it is a pricey product to have to keep up on. For reference I believe I have average skin and am 39 yrs old. I honestly am often mistaken for someone in their late 20's. So I have to wonder who does this product work on best?

I have tried many an eye primer in the last 4 months (Urban Decays, Too Faced, Pixi, PopBeauty, to name a few). I ordered the Kat Von D Tattoo Chronicles palette (on sale for $39-Sephora!) and it had this inside it as a sample in 3 different colors. I LOVED the NUDE color primer and had to order the full size.
It is WAY thicker than any other primer I have tried. If you have oily or teary eyes and your shadow still creases a bit after a primer, I say go for this one! It mattes the eye perfectly. LOVE this and a total steal for only $15 and a large wand/container. Kat also offers a pinkish pearl primer and a darker graphite grey. Love it when products work so well!

Super duper scented bliss! Stronger than most other popular scents out there but beautifully alluring. This is a pure VA-Va-Voom type of scent. It is along the same lines of Wish by Chopard and Angel by Thierry Mugler just not as sweet in the top notes. This is warm with a light spice. It is in no way Oriental in my opinion. It is Woodsy with a definite patchouli base but not too strong. It lasts for HOURS with only two spritzes. If you order from Sephora, choose this as one of your free samples to give it a try!

This news reader offers a really cool platform of viewing what "YOU" deem news worthy. You choose the sources from their list or add your own feeds-absolutely anything you want! This app will spoil you and all others will fail in comparison.

One of the very best apps out there for anyone who is a makeup junkie, shoe whora or fashion minded chichita. Top brands offer insane discounts (50-70%) on select products for 48 hours only. They can sell out quick too but usually stock is decent. TODAY is their URBAN DECAY SALE!!!!!!!! I bought all of the matte eyeshadow's I wanted and saved over $300 dollars on my entire purchase of $80!!! I set my alarm as a reminder to be sure I didn't miss the opening b/c I knew this would be a popular sale. Even still I missed out on one palette -"showpony" and that was when I checked out at 8 minutes after the sale started. Nonetheless I am tickled pink. You can also use their website-it's all free. your welcome ladies ;)

This powder was absolutely made for me and anyone with fair to medium complexion. It blends like magic and is smooth as glass. It is seamless on the skin and just blends right in, you cannot see this powder on me at all. I am not sure why it is so inexpensive on eBay but I went online and bought 2 more because this stuff is pure heaven to me. Bourjois has always been a great cosmetic company and I hope they don't stop making this. Plus it smells amazing.

These were sold for New Years eve and had inspired NYE, Too Faced products in them. I bought just the bags from an ebay seller, as I want to use them as gift bags for my nieces and put fun makeup that I choose in them. The bags are well made but smaller than I anticipated. Still all in all a really cute, girly lil bag.

DREAMY! This shade is golden glow insanity girls. Goes on easily and stays on like crazy glue. Must blend right away for once it has dried you must get creative with your blending. I just really love Tarina's cream shadows. You get tons of product in the pot (more than any other brand I have seen) and the pigmentation is divine. Even the regular price of $16 is great but occasionally you can get them even cheaper on ebay or if Sephora is out of stock, ebay sellers usually have a few you can grab. But they are suddenly going fast it seems.
Note: Tarina Tarantino's line is changing packaging this year and starting to be released. The "old" style is Pink with silver trim as seenin the pic above. The new packaging colors is a really sharp deep purple color with green shimmer. I think it is a great change b/c the previous packaging was too over done -been there, done that soo many time before-type of look.
Now hopefully with the change people will see what a great cosmetic brand Tarantino really is and give it a try.

So I received the email from Sephora about the free single sample of this with any order. The timing was great because I have been trying to find a worthy chemical peel. I remember 5 or so years ago you could buy a chemical peel kit in the drug store for about $15. You would feel it working and your face was red for a bit afterward but your skin felt like sweet babies skin!

I expected the same with the Brazilian Peel b/c it stated highest content of the glycolic acid allowed over the counter.
I read the instructions which were easy enough to follow and I did to a T in prep and application.
I waited 12 minutes and then removed. I always wait a lil longer as I know my skin, hair and body-I require a bit longer on the processing of everything.
No real smell and only a slight tingle in a small area was felt during the 12 minutes. It washed off easily and I kept waiting to feel extra smooth skin. To be honest I felt ZERO difference?!
Now I recently started using Dermalogica products and maybe my skin was already in good shape? Although, after my initial use of the Dermalogica it felt really good but no significant change that mirrored an actual peel or like. I am at a loss. I so wanted to love this product. I would try it one more time only if given a free sample, just in case maybe I received a "dud" but other than that I have no interest. My search continues~

Good stuff, period thee end~

These are freaking great! I cannot believe these are so inexpensive on Ebay. Seems TF stopped making them? Perfect consistency and smell. Not sticky, just smooth. The glitter is so micro it is total gorgee-osity! Search for National Relief Charities on Ebay -they have these in a few colors and all of their proceeds (100%) go to charity. See beauty does feel good!

Sale Price right now:For $39 you CANNOT go wrong. 3 eyes shadow primer bases (nude, shimmer and smokey), 2 perfumes in rollerballs, 1 faux lash set-badass that is btw, plus 12 highly pigments shadows. It all comes in what looks like a book with sketches and writings inside from Kat. The palette comes out so you do not have to have the whole book in the way.
I am thinking of buying another one or two to have aside because when these sell out people will want them even more and pay a lot for them on ebay (always with KAt Von D makeup). Anyway, a ton of worthy product for only $39.00 And if you do not like the perfumes I do and will buy it from you ;)

Sephora Sample I tried. This actually reminded me of The new Jennifer Anniston Scent (see my review). A clean floral but this one is too fussy for me. Too strong. Too old lady smelling with no sass to it. I need a touch of sweetness in my perfumes or warmth, this has neither. Beautiful packaging however~

Brilliant! I have used Fredrick Fekkai's Au Naturel powder for years but tried this on a whim. LOVE THIS x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (a gazillion). Easier to use, smells awesome and works even on the oiliest roots. Plus better for darker hair as it is not a bright white powder. A++++ Oscar!
