L.A. Colors palettes

I've recently found that the Dollar General as well as this cheapy store in the mall carry L.A. Colors palettes. For only $1.50-$2 each, and great pigmentation, I think these are fantastic! I may not have Sleek but at least these make me feel somewhat better ;] Tease Palette Chromatic Palette Fiesta Palette The first two are more pigmented than they look, the sun was setting as I swatched so the colors aren't as bright. I took these pictures with the camera I got for my birthday! I had my own camera already, but it was a total POS and pretty old, probably 5 or 6 years at least. I always used my mom's instead because I liked it so much, so for my birthday my parents got me a newer version of my mom's camera. :D The other beauty products I got were the new Sally Hansens I wanted- Lagoon, Sea and Be Seen, and HIDDEN FUCKING TREASURE! I think my dad managed to find the last one in the whole damn town, they're gone everywhere. I spent some time with my family, friends, and boyfriend and had a really lovely day. Thanks you all so much for the birthday wishes, it meant a lot to me. I have many Hi Fi and Morgana swatches to do, as well as my Archetype review which I have somehow managed to put off for months... expect those soon! I also got a Twitter, you can follow me @ eyeconicmakeup. I really like Twitter, I enjoy talking to you ladies about makeup and other things as well. :)

  4. I plan on ordering some pressed shadows from Stars Makeup Haven and hopefully assembling a palette :) or just bite the bullet and buy a Sleek, haha.

    I gather you're not planning on blogging about the, er, recently-deleted blog posts from Phyrra, Purple Koala and KittenMittens? I was sorta hoping you might, but I also understand why you mightn't want to.

  7. Did I wish you happy birthday already? If not, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY :D

    I always see the Tease palette at the giant drugstore near my house, but they never have testers for me to molest D: I may just buy some on a whim one day now!

  8. Happy Belated Birthday!

    Those palettes are pretty awesome for the price, I have a few. :)

    Could you possibly do swatches of the polish? I'm pretty sure I have Sea & Be Seen, but I keep going back to the store and staring at Lagoon but walking away every time.

  9. @Angie: I did!

    @Kim: It's so nice, I really love all the fire colors right now too.

    @liloo: It's my favorite one :D

    @Jade Carver: ok I think I commented on your blog answering this at like 4 AM lol

    @KittenMittens: I'm going out tomorrow to a Walgreens I haven't checked yet, the bigger one in town. I'm going to try and find another bottle or 2 so I can send them to people who can't find it :D

    @Dominique: They're great, especially for how cheap they are.

    @SilhouetteScreams: Thank you! You should just buy it, I'm guessing it's more expensive there though?

    @casey aimee: Thanks! Sure, I have work off tomorrow so I can paint my nails. ^_^ I have a ridiculous number of untried polishes because of all the damn nail blogs...

  10. I cant remember if i wished you a happy birthday! If i didn't then i really hope you had one :)
    I love the Fiesta palette and lucky you getting the Sally Hansens :)
    ps i sent your paintings today, hopefully they should be with you in 2 weeks at the most (depending on the bloody ash cloud). Usually i put little extras like sweeties in my parcels but i sealed yours up before i remembered too so i'm sorry about that :( next time i'll send you lots of treats.

    @Julissa: Dude... I freaking love Twitter. I always thought it was so dumb until I got one.

    @Gaby: I didn't even know you could get them in stores, my L.A. Colors stuff I had all gotten online.
