yeah it was 7 then.. unsure how many there were since I didn't snatch the deal up :[ totally regret it now! bold is good haha which one is your fav. shade?

by the way, happy early birthday :]

Aw, thanks!  Two more days!!!

I've never used MAC so can't use that for a reference but I'm a white girl with some tan normally and blue eyes/light brown hair (when it's left natural).  I like Crush, F-bomb, and Adrenaline the best for the brights.  Naked and Love Child are a little mellower - Love Child is on the edge of being too light for my coloring.  I can wear Punch Drunk if I'm being brave and do eyes a certain way, but it's harder to pull off.   You just have to own it.  

I actually don't think I've used Big Bang yet...

And then, there's Apocalypse. I LOVE Apocalypse.  It's dark and gorgeous but that's the only one I haven't worn during the daytime.  And haven't had a reason to wear it at night!  

Basically, I'm a nut and love them all.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I went to Sephora this afternoon and saw the palettes.  They were much bigger than I imagined, for some reason.  I wish I had swatched them, but I was really only looking for the Urban Decay BB cream.  My Glinda palette should arrive on Monday.  I can't wait to try the lip color!

Im thinking about it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> hehe but have you tried Urban Decay's Gash? My faaaav!

The lip color didn't wow me at all.. It's the same pigmentation as my lips kinda.. But you'll love the palette /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> enjoy it<3

Btw - I posted both reviews of the Glinda & Theodora palettes on my blog! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my Glinda palette in the mail but now I like Theodora too because of your swatches! 

 Those browns look uh-mazing!

I need an opinion: I love the browns but I already have the Naked 2 and the Vegan palettes. Are the browns in those palettes so similar to the browns in the Theodora palette that I should skip on Theodora? Those are the only browns that I own. I live too far away from a Sephora or Ulta to go swatch the palette.

Here are the swatches that I did today..

The review will be posted later when I get home today!



^ Just a sneak peek... making this into collage changed the quality of the photo.. BLEEEEH there will be better pics on my blog when I post it up (I promise!!)

Love these 2 palettes especially the lip products... I totally missed out when they had that 5 for $49 deal /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like keeping my lip color close to my natural lip color.  Given that Glinda is supposed to be similar to Naked, I think I'm gonna love it.  Did you get the Theodora palette too?  Maybe you'd like that lip color more.  (Wow, I swear I can read.   -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

It is a gorgeous shade to keep it close to the natural lip color. I'll still use it but I prefer a bold lip hehe love Theodora's lip pencil /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I haven't opened my Theodora palette yet (told myself I'd wait til my bday...) but based on the swatches, the only swatch that seems similar to Naked2 and Vegan are:

* 4th shade over may be comparable to Twice Baked (Vegan) in that it's a dark brown.  But not a dup.

* 1st shade and Bootycall (Naked2) are in the same family.

I don't feel like they're comparable palettes to Theodora FWIW.

Hi!

I usually do a comparable post with other Urban Decay palettes + eye shadows that I have so please keep an eye out for that (tomorrow).

I have one on the Vice Palette (somewhere on my blog) if you would like to check that out first.. =)

Thanks, this helps. I might get it later this month.

I went to my town's Ulta with my mom on saturday, and I was swatching stuff for her to see, and the sales lady came up and asked if she could help with anything(my mom had grabbed a tissue from the station so I could get the stuff off my hand, apparently, they didn't like that) so we said no, and my mom told her what the tissue was for, and the lady asked if I had seen/heard about the new wizard of oz palettes yet, and I said yep, I have them both, she got this dubious surprised look on her face and said "really? you have them both.... already?? which one do you like better?" I told her Glinda, and also that its what I had on my eyes and she just said "pretty /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />(<---FAKEE SMILE)" and walked away, I was like haha, take that B*tch! thats right, I GOT THIS! bam. hehe. it made me happy that she couldn't try to be snotty cuz I already had the expensive thing she was tryna show me!

lol that's funny. Yeah I really do not like some of Ulta's sales people. Everytime I've been there, there was one salesperson that either seemed annoyed or in a hurry when I ask for help, or seemed "uncertain/doubtful" (for a lack of better word) when I tell them I know what I'm doing. I prefer Sephora's people, they aren't as pushy.

I avoid the Ulta store near me... just some really weird experiences, especially when I was pregnant with my son last year.  Shopping online is better; free samples, no people, and a guarantee that the product hasn't been used!

Really? I always get much friendlier service at Ulta than Sephora. The girls at my Sephora are usually rude.

 

[viccckyhoang]

Awws thanks! That means a lot to me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I actually can't do the post today since I left to work early and when I go home I have to work on my blog sale so I will post it up tomorrow.. Sorry & thank you<3

I'm not a big fan of either's but some of the girls at my sephora are nice, some of the others have it in their head that theyre better than me. which pisses me off. ooh especially when it comes to makeup, I see some of these girls with unblended uneven ugly ass makeup and theyre all "can i put this on you and show you what it looks like" and I just wanna go "I don't trust you with a brush around your own face, much less mine"
