Eyeshadows, Shu Uemura, FOTD

So last Saturday I got my 120 count eyeshadow palette in, and 35 of them were broken! And the shipping took 2 weeks! It made me so mad! I emailed the person, and told them that my eyeshadow palette was broken. And they said that they would refund me. So everything is alright. I ordered another palette, but not from the same person, because they obviously cannot seem to package items correctly. I ordered it from my regular person, and I paid about 4 dollars more, which doesn't seem like much, but to me it is. Anyway, after I received the palette, I tried cleaning it up a little. But it was still a little messy. Lesson learned? Never purchase anything from Hong Kong! They have horrible shipping and no tracking, and it comes in broken! Here are some pictures of the broken palette:


I took a very small spoon, and scooped the broken shadows out, and placed them into tiny containers, so they are still useable! I love these colors because they are very pigmented, so they stay on, and they don't rub off! That was the reason why I purchased this palette.

What the palette looks like, when cleaned down, and the shadows put into little containers.
And here is my makeup collection, with the shadows in their own little containers. Don't they look cute? Haha. Anyway, I said I was going to do a Coffret D'or FOTD with my palette didn't I? Well I didn't get to do it yesterday, because when I got home there was a package waiting for me, from Sephora. And when I got it, I honestly could not remember purchasing anything from Sephora! I was kind of having a panic attack, but I got over it quickly, and opened the package, and guess who purchased something for me? My friend Christine! I was so surprised! But she bought me the Shu Uemura eyelash curler, because I was saying that mines isn't that good! So yay! Christine, if your reading this, Thank you!!! :)

This is the eyelash curler that she bought for me! :) I love it! It actually makes my eyelashes super curly! My other one from Target doesn't do anything.
This is my FOTD with my Coffret D'or palette in 05! I love the way it makes my eyes look. I was talking to my boyfriend when I took these pictures. He insisted that we talk on the phone. And when I told him, I tried my Coffret D'or palette, and I loved it, he demanded that I take pictures and send them to him via email! :)



And everyone has been asking me about Miracle Times America in San Gabriel, just to let you guys all know, it's not an online store and pick up. It's a small makeup boutique, I guess you can call it. And they have all sorts of very gorgeous Japanese makeup. I didn't get the name of the lady who helped me, but she was very friendly, and nice. She even helped me apply my makeup, and she wasn't rude like some people from Nordstrom. If you guys have any more questions about Miracle Times America, please let me know, either by emailing me or asking me via c-box! :)

Anyway, I'm going to go take a shower right now. I had a looooong day at work today! Haha, I will for sure post tomorrow, because tomorrow is my day off, I traded tomorrow off, for Sunday off!
