Sephora Haul (Round 1) a rant and great news!

(This is a long post so prepare yourself.) I say round one because I place two orders from Sephora. I needed (and by needed I mean wanted) an Urban Decay Palette of some sorts in my life. I got the ammo palette because of it's price tag. For 34 USD you get ten colors of shadow, a brush, and a mini bottle of the primer potion. Not too bad me thinks.

Even though the palette was smaller than I thought. Oh well.
The colors are Smog,Mildew,Oil Slick,Last Call,Chopper,Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride,Grifter, and Sin.
I think there are some colors in this palette that are in the Naked palette. The colors are very sparkly which is not everyone's cup of tea. This is a really versatile palette since you can do more neutral looks or party looks. Some of the colors honestly do not look good on their own. Last Call is really pretty with a matte black eye shadow. I am on the fence with oil slick since it is more glitter than black. It would be good to use over a black liner with a cat eye.

 
Look using Smog, Mildew, and Polyester Bride.






















  I got me some more eye shadow brushes since I can always use more. This is Sephoras brand of brushes in the Cat Eye Duo. It has an all over shadow brush and a slanted liner brush. Using a coupon code from RetailMeNot I also got some freebies. (Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser, Dr. Dennis Gross Brightening Serum, Benefit Fake Up Under eye concealer, and Bumble and Bumble Surf shampoo and conditioner.)



So my rant is about a restaurant where I live. I wrote a negative review on Yelp because my experience was negative and the food horrible. The owner of said restaurant send me a gift certificate to make up for my experience and give the place another go. I saw good in this and yesterday went to use my gift certificate. The owner confronted me by saying I should not write bad things on the internet and say them to her face. I am hurting her business and I should feel bad. I felt as if I was paid off to write a good review. The food was good but I felt as if they were going out of their way to make it good. I updated the review to write a good one so the owner will not be on my back. But she left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not be back because I was told "You are wrong and I am right. Stop being a liar and ruining my business." I do not think I did anything wrong. 

 *exhales* So the good news is that I will soon be a vlogger! I am getting a webcam soon so expect videos from me very soon. Do tell me what kind of Youtube videos you would like to see. Have a spooky day.

  1. No, you didn't do anything wrong when you wrote the Yelp review. And I'd be tempted to do another review and put in EXACTLY what you wrote above, the Good, the Bad AND especially the Ugly. But maybe you're nicer than I am... ;-)

    I really like that Urban Decay palette. Thanks for the tip! We've got a Sephora near my apartment complex, I may just have to trot over there and see it for myself! :-)
