Sparklecrack Central’s “Sample Size Secret Santa”

Secret Santa programs are all the rage throughout various online communities. They're cool, right? Yeah…except that this year, LOTS of people have been hard-hit by the economy. It's been ugly. Even with the nice low price-points that I've seen on a few communities, folks might still feel a bit...

Everyday Minerals’ Juniper

This one's almost metallic…but not quite. It adheres better than some of the other shadows I have from this company; but not as well as the pearl or true-metallic shades.

Everyday Minerals’ Winter 2009 collection
