Somebody here @ blogger made a fuss about me photoshopping my pics on my new hair post. It's XiuXiu not Photoshop! And mind your own beeswax! It's not like I totally changed the pics on that entry, I just made my skin bit lighter to achieve the kawaii look, added some designs, and watermarked it. Below are more pics taken from my celly and yes, they are unedited to your heart's content!

<>oOo<> To get free makeup bag with goodies inside, Enter promo code: "BG9" Can only be applied with $60 worth of purchase. Good while supplies last. I bought another UDPP Sin (not pictured) that's why I was able to use this promo code.

I have a thing for collecting makeup palettes. I just think it's more practical than getting the single shadows. My collection consists mostly of Urban Decay, NARS, and Stila. I don't own any of the MAC ones because I already have lots of their individual pan/depotted eyeshadows and pressed pigments. Here's a youtube video of my Urban Decay Collection which I posted a year ago... See UD Book of Shadows Vol. 1 from my old youtube vid... ***
