Anne and I barely got home a few hours ago, we were stuck in traffic and on top of that we got hit from the side from some guy that wasn't paying attention so now my bumper is all messed up; it took us longer than usual to get home. I am so tired and it was so DAMN hot in Vegas we were melting even with the AC on full blast. Good to be home though, in the valley, where it's nice and cool.
I will post pics of the convention and all that good stuff later tonight, as it's already 1:25am as I write this and I have to wake up at 6am for work, so I need some sleep since we had such a long day and we woke up so early this entire weekend; so the thought of me uploading 80+ pics...let's just say it's not gonna happen right now, LOL. I saw all your questions on Cbox gals, so I will try and answer them during the day...Annika, your message is there, just click on "older messages" to view.
So instead, I leave you with some Auraline Blush Palette swatches, from the blush palette I bought at the IMATS show last weekend from AuralineBeauty.com.

Ooh, the blushes look great! How much was it?
ReplyDeleteI love the swatches, they all look wearable! and i love how pigmented it all looks!
ReplyDeleteawwww you must be so exhausted! poor sis...rest up...i think we'll be okay without a post for a day or two or three while you catch up on life. i'm so excited that you were able to go to vegas though...sorry about the car drama...hopefully it was worth it right? they're having that same show in orlando in october and depending on your feedback i might go to! can't wait to see the pics! by the way, that blush palette is going to be great for your kit!

ReplyDeleteOh, wow!! That seems like an amazing set of blushes!! :o
ReplyDeleteThose blushes look lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow would you compare the texture and scent (if any) to higher end brands?
Wow the swatches look very delightful. I want a couple of them. I must check them out.
ReplyDeleteVery pigmented I like it ! Woot your shorts, did you get it from walmart ? just wonder lol I have the exact same color same shorts. :D
ReplyDeleteThe palette is gorgeous! So is the colors! Ohhh~ I like! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your video on the L'Oreal Voluminous Marker Eyeliner Pen! I went and bought it after you did a review on it. Now I just have to figure out how to use it! Also, I could use some practice on how to line my waterline, especially with the eyeliner pen! Anyway, you are so lucky you're able to go to makeup shows and Vegas! Those swatches look gorge too!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you're ok and home! :) can't wait for your pics. :) i'm sure you and ann look hotter than vegas' weather. :)
ReplyDeletethe palette looks good! :) and you're uber sexy on the last photo! loL!
Oh! I'm in love with the blushes! the 2nd row is sooo pigmented, I love it! Now I really want to go to the next IMATS!
ReplyDeleteomg this is the prettiest blush palette i have ever seen! i use blushes rarely, almost never but these ones look stunning!!
ReplyDeleteyes indeeeeed thats a nice palette. the color payoff looks really good as well. i need to get into more blushes! btw, you and anne looked like ya'll had a great time. my mama use to go to shows like that back in the day when she got her cosmo license. i used to wait for her to get back so i can raid all her shit! lol
ReplyDeleteThose are some gorgeous shades. Some even look like they can be eyeshadows hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW the first blush one the second row is gorgeous swatched! I love blush, but a palette would be useless to me as I'd just keep buying more blush anyway. I'm sorry to hear about the accident but glad that you and Anne are okay.
ReplyDeleteSo i just checked out the auraline site & I found that this site (in the eyeshadow palette) has the 28 neutral and the 78 eyeshadow/blush that's so hyped up on the coastal scents site.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's the same?
BUT, this site charges $25 for the neutral while coastal scent charges $20

Those are pretty blushes! Sounds like you and Anne had a lot of fun! Did you have a chance to gamble too? I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you, your bf and Anne are ok and hope your car is too!
ReplyDeleteIrene- Haha I just kinda coordinate it with my eyes, like naturals, browns, taupe or neutral eyes, I use a brown or bronzy blush, for green looks, corals, and other looks I use a coral, orange based blush like Milani "Luminous", for purple or pink eyes I use a pink or purple based blush.
ReplyDeleteHi Em! The blushes were $20 at the show. :)
Hi Maggie- There is no scent, the blushes are just as pigments as other blushes (MAC) and are more shimmery than MAC in my opinion. I think these blushes are actually better!
Hi Nabi! Haha yeah I love Wal-Mart, I got a bunch of shorts from there!
Thanks ladies!
Very pretty! Must have been fun. They really need to schedule those things here in the islands. I'm tired of feeling left out, lol!
ReplyDeletei see skin ;)
ReplyDeletelol @ "My arm always looks likes this says the boyfriend..." haha!
ReplyDeleteF5 caught my eye -- am a sucker for pink blushes!
they are so pretty. are the bigger or smaller than the MAC blush sizes?
ReplyDeleteflyawaymoon-they are about the same I believe..
ReplyDeletei love ur auraline beauty blushes, they are so prettty! u are so lucky to have bought it. i went to their site, and they only can sell it if u spend $100 or more! =[
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteWhich blush palette did you buy? Is this the Bright one? I ask because on the website both of the ones listed look a lot paler than the one you have (and I like yours better cause I have tan skin too and the pale ones won't show up on us!) I actually really love this and am glad you put it up cause I think I'm going to get it if I can figure out the name of the one you got!
