My very first *big* makeup purchase.. a YEAR ago!

Hey Zombies!

Happy Hump Day! I keep thinking it's Thursday and it's really throwing me off. Being a SAHM is weird on my internal clock. haha

In 4 days I will have had MZ going for 1 whole year! Because of that, I wanted to show everyone my very first *BIG* high end makeup purchase. I scoured Youtube last year looking for a good palette from Urban Decay. I loved the look of the Sustainable Shadow Box because of it's kick ass front cover. I had my heart set on it. I went to Sephora and swatched it. I was not at all excited about ALL THAT GLITTER in 5 of the 10 shadows! (keep in mind, I wasn't into makeup much yet at this point.) So I passed it up for a Tart palette. I got home and hated the Tart palette so much that I returned it the next day and purchased the Sustainable Shadow Box AND my very first UDPP in "Sin."

I was happy with the palette for a while. It is very much a starter palette with an array of colors. I did hate the fallout from the glitter but once I learned how to control that, it wasn't too bad. This poor palette now sits in my makeup box all alone.. It really is such a cool package and great for those who DON'T hoard makeup like I do.  I guess I've just moved on. Should I save it for when my daughter is.much.much older? (hehe)

I swatched everything over UDPP "Sin."
