Stepping back a bit...

I know I haven't been posting a whole lot lately. Mostly it's because I haven't been feeling motivated  to blog. I don't know it's just not as exciting as it used to be and it's beginning to feel a lot like work. Don't get me wrong I still love makeup and love sharing it with people but I think I need to step back a bit and not feel pressured to write about every single beauty purchase I make in great detail. I honestly have a giant backlog of makeup that I still haven't reviewed/swatched/opened. 

I think what I want is just to be able to enjoy purchasing makeup without having to worry about photographing everything before opening and using it. So for now I'm going to be stepping back a bit from my intensive reviewing and swatching. I'll still be posting every once in awhile when I feel like I must share something but not as often for now as I was before. Plus I really need to focus on growing my business and right now blogging is taking away too much time from it. 

Ok enough of that. This is a post I've sort of been sitting on for awhile and I'm not sure why I never got around to posting it. This was actually my first order from RockABetty Beauty. I ordered the Garbage Pail Kids and John Hughes collection as well as the LE Betty Vidi Vici eye shadow. The John Hughes collection and Betty Vidi Vici  are unfortunately no longer available.

Rock A Betty Beauty Entire Core Line

I just happened to be on Facebook when Ber decided to have an extraordinary sale of 50% off everything in her shop. I decided I'd just go ahead and buy her Obsessed and Loving It Collection which basically includes every shade in her core line. The normal price for all 38 lid luster eye shadows is $100 but with the 50% off I was able to purchase it for $50.00 which is a steal! I basically paid about $1.32 for each shadow!

Just an FYI some of these pictures may look flatter than normal and colors may seem dull and less vibrant. This is because I was battling with the clouds for the sun's attention all day so it was a bit difficult to photograph these as well as I usually do. I'm probably going to end up re-swatching some of them just because I'm a perfectionist and I want these to look as true to life as possible. For now though I'm going to post what I have.

Relic - Mustard yellow
Hella Stellar - Bright white with rainbow shimmer. And yes I did misspell it in the photo.
