cvs & ulta haul!

hi guys!!! i got two coupons to use--25% off at cvs and 20% off at ulta!! and i had some cvs extrabucks w00t! so i went ahead and got the new color tattoo metal collection. these did not come wrapped in "limited edition" shrink wrap, so i think they'll keep on making them. cleaning up with a makeup wipe, there was shimmery glitter everywhere, in places i didn't even apply it. butttttt they're amazing.

• of these, i think the silver, pink, and gold are most worthwhile.
• the blue is ok, it's very similar to urban decay evidence..but in cream form. i haven't started using it yet, but the swatch left a stain on my arm.... compared to the other blues (tenacious teal, test my teal, blue on by), it is a more dark royal or purpley blue.
• barely branded is ever so slightly orangier than barely beige (which is pinker); but if you missed barely beige (fall limited edition) you could totally pick up barely branded as a substitute.  
• i think that gold rush will be a perfect new year's party color. compared to the previous golds (bold gold, gold shimmer), this is a yellow-gold with more shimmer than the previous two.
• the silver, compared to audacious asphalt, is a more chrome-silver than gray-sliver (audacious asphalt)

then at ulta, i decided to get a few more of the zoya's ornate collection. they didn't have the gold one and i'm not too keen on the silver bar glitter one, so i skipped on it. storm was so pretty i had to have it, and blaze and logan: i don't really have that many greens or reds... and 'dey pretteh too. ^_^ ~Lin-chan ^.~
