I finally took photos and got them all together for the Cargo - Shanghai Nights palette from Ulta that I bought!! Guys, this palette is friggin awesome, the eyeshadow quality is probably even butterier than the Lorac Pro palette! Love, love, love, it's definitely worth $39, and I'm so stoked I was able to get it for $20!

LOL I love this time of year! So many palettes and sets to play with!

Hubby is discussing getting me a light setup for my birthday since it was such a pain today waiting for the sun. What could have been done in 20 min ended up taking over an hour.

 

[beachlover]

It's supposedly only going to be $59 which is an amazing price as the Lorac Pro and Lorac Pro 2 were both $42, I think.

Thanks! So many things I want.. I'm going to be so broke..

 

[saku]

yeah, didn't think that mega pro will be any more expensive than the vice.

I was so happy they made the case the same studded pattern as the full sizes, they could have cheaped out and made them smooth. It is an awesome set and I love every color but Agatha. It's a steal for $39

Luv this!!! Thank you for swatching them Tweakabell

@@tweakabell thanks so much for the swatches of the KVD set!! I love the mini studded beauties, but I think the Full Frontal is more my speed. FINALLY NARROWED DOWN THREE SETS TO TWO. My bank account likes me.

If you have a flash you can bounce it from the ceiling or a wall or bounce card (as in the outdoor setting) in order to get more even lighting or they make mini soft boxes for the flash units. You can also get a  chord or a remote to use the flash off camera. My husband used to take a whole studio set up made up of SB-800s and soft boxes with a commander unit on photoshoots until he got Alien Bees and a battery pack. The battery pack died and he wants a generator now, he's borrowed one and loved it.

Overcast lighting is actually really good for photography but you may have to change the ISO on your camera. A  soft box is used to give the diffused lighting effect that clouds give. A white piece of board on the shadow side would reflect light back at your subject too.

I miss doing photography!

Just bought way too many things. For reference, I had only spent $30 at Sephora this year so far & I just hit VIB. Oops!

Should be stocked up on blush & lip products for several hundred years or so..

Motorhead and Lovecraft are so pretty!

Not sure if Holiday or not, but it looks like Lime Crime is going to be releasing some palettes.

I can't decide if I should buy the Tarte Bon Voyage set or ask for it as a gift.

Love your swatches, I have yet to pick up this set.

Ladies, there is something wrong with me.  I'm anticipating the Lush holiday release a bit too much I think.  Last night I had a dream they were released today, I bought all of them, and they were delivering earlier than expected.  It was the best dream ever and I woke up SO EXCITED.  I mean most people have dreams about tropical vacations and Channing Tatum.  I have dreams about Lush product releases.  :wacko:

Body-shop advent calendar.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Wow, you know what you're doing! I wish I knew more about photography. I tried changing my ISO once, but I didn't know what I was doing and kind of screwed it up. Oops. :blush:

Right there with you, sister! I have waaay too many dreams about buying things, or digging into freebies bins. Those are the best kinds of dreams.... until you wake up! :smilehappyyes:

Ok, so at this moment in time (could change any minute, hahah) I really only want the following holiday sets:

1. Tarte blush palette ($42- check, got it)

2. Tarte bush and lipsurgence set ($?- QVC?)

3. Lorac MegaPRO ($59- Ulta)

4. Josie Maran Love that Flush Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Set (not sure if this is a holiday set, but it's new)

5. MAYBE the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette or Ambient Blush Palette

I think that's it...

 

[Kristine Walker]

 I would really love to have the Lorac MegaPRO.

 

[acostakk]

I may or may not have leveraged the husbands purchase of a new iPhone into an Ambient Lighting palette for myself. And I might have forgotten to mention the Tarte Petite Treats Advent Calendar that's coming in the mail. whoops.
