Sonia Kashuk LE Moroccan

Hello:

Today I wanted to share a pretty summer eye palette I found the other day - it's the Limited Edition Moroccan Sands eye palette by Sonia Kashuk.  It's available at Target for $16.99.

  It has four colors - here's the official description from the Target website: "Gild your lids with luminous color using this quad of shimmer chrome-inspired eye shadows. This universally flattering palette includes precious metal hues of burnished brown, metallic mauve, prismatic pink, and rose gold to illuminate the eyes with sophisticated color and subtle sheen. The revolutionary hybrid formula combines the best features of baked, powder, cream, and liquid eye shadow textures to deliver long-lasting, buildable color that applies evenly and blends flawlessly."

The only "unblemished" picture I got was of it in package - I got swatch happy before official pictures :)

The palette itself is rather large and it's about 3/4" thick.  I love the snake skin embossed effect!  The colors are really pretty on multiple skin tones - My friend who is about the shade of Halle Berry swatched as well and it looked amazing on her as well.

The shadows are really pigmented and smooooth. They are pretty "common" colors so it's not a must have palette, but if you need some summer neutral metallics it's a pretty good deal for some really nice shadows.

Have you found any fun summer palettes?

Gettin Ferga-licious with Fergi Ferg Fresh from Wet n' Wild

Hello:

Today I was at Walgreens, and I came across 3 color collections by Fergie for Wet n' Wild.  There was the Glamour Eyes Kit (Golds and Black), the Ferga-Vicious Kit (Copper and Green) and the Fergi Ferg Fresh which I got:

Only $8 score!



I have a lot of the colors (ok, all) in the other kits but this one reminded me of the SugarPill palette on the cheap!

So it comes with directions on the one side of the book and the a black pencil liner, liquid liner in a bright blue, Four eye shadows, 2 absolute crap brushes and Mascara.

The Mascara is the Mega Length version, I've never used a Wet n' Wild Mascara but the brush head has the kind of bristles I like.

The Eyeshadow palette says "Color Icon" on it so I was hoping for the infamous amazing color payoff at a great price. 

And here are the products swatches:

The blue seems to have the best color payoff, the darker purple was a bit chalky, and sadly the black doesn't appear as "sparkly" or multi faceted when swatched. But the liners are good in color payoff and texture.  I wish the would have replaced the brushes with a gloss.  Is this palette a must get?  No.  But the container is sturdy and there is room under the "case" where the products are held to throw in some other small items, so this is great for travel, or for a girl's weekend for sure.

What are you thoughts?
