Bobbi Brown BBU Palette

Sooo.. I did a lot of swatches lately, but never found the time to upload them. To quote Dexter: "Tonight's the night.." Okay it's still day, but you get the picture. :-)

Be prepared for a swatch overload.

I decided to invest some money in my Freelance Kit and bought several things, some of them were quite expensive, but I work to afford it, so I think there's no need to be ashamed of it.

I invested in this amazing Bobbi Brown Palette, which is a blessing for everyone who wants to get started as a Make Up Artist.

See and marvel :-)

I thought it might be best to put something next to the palette, so that you can get a feeling of how big/small it is in real life - the photos I've seen never capture the size right.

Here's the left side - the concealer and skin correctors. The texture is very creamy and the pigmentation is a dream!!



And here are the foundations:


To use them it is best, and also the most hygienic way, to take a small amount out of the palette with a little spatuala. One doesn't need much. The coverage is nice and buildable.

This is a limited edition and costs 250$, which is a lot, but as said it is worth it. You get so much!
I definetely would recommend it.

Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Mini Palette

I recently bought The Dermacolor Camouflage Mini Palette from Kryolan in order to be prepared for a photoshoot.
The coverage is quite nice and there are several versions of mini palettes to choose from. Swatches are done in daylight without a base.
I didn't need the palette for the job, but I think it will have its use in the future of my being a make up artist.

So I thought I share pics of it and swatches with you :-)

Reviews

I know I know.. I wanted to post my Illamasqua story first, but I will need more time for that.

Nevertheless, I have something else for you. I work for a Punkrock/Lifestyle magazine called Kinkats and a Punkrock/Music magazine called Slam.

I make reviews for our "Hot Stuff" category of beauty products you probably all know anyway, buuut I thought you might wanna take a look at them.

Here's the link: http://www.multimedia.slam-zine.de/php/reviews,16879.html

They're in german, but even if you don't speak this language, there are some nice pictures. And for all of you who do speak it: go read!! ;-)
