<>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... ***
