Me beautiful beauty box!

No, I don’t mean that!  Dirty mind!

I finally got a new trunk case!  I had a long, annoying ordeal with a damaged train case from a certain cosmetics case company.*  I wanted to wait until my credit card claim went through before I bought a new one.  It did, so I got my case!

I went to the downtown Sephora, all prepared to buy a case but they didn’t have it!  *tear*  An employee told me that they all went on sale and then they sold out right away.  Fortunately, they still had them on the Sephora website, and still on sale! With free shipping!  And free samples!  Yesss!

First, I have to complain about my old case.  It was way too small for all my makeup.  I guess I use too much!  I'd been wasting a lot of time digging through my case when I get ready.

Side story:  My former roommate gave it to me when she moved to Europe.  She gave me a bunch of stuff, including a black couch with toothpaste stains.  I guess the toothpaste bleached the fabric or something because the stupid stains wouldn’t come out. So people—because the stains were white—started calling it the “cum stained couch.”  D:  Yuckkkk!  I totally forgot about that couch until I started writing this. hahaha

So here is the inside of my beautiful case…

I chose black because aside from the obvious connection to the black metal genre of music, I figured dents and stains (which covered the first case I ordered) would be less visible.

Look how nice my makeup looks!  It’s so organized!

Oh, did I mention my free samples?  Sephora lets you choose which ones you want.  I chose three  perfumes. 

I chose Thierry Mugler's Angel because Diablo Cody said it's the most popular perfume amongst strippers! lol


Bonus review: Spring Heart mascara!


I never reviewed this mascara  so I'll throw in a quick review now!

Spring Heart makes awesome eyelashes and the most amazing eyebrow pencil!  I love their eyebrow pencil!!!  It's the best possible match for my hair color.

Anyway... the Spring Heart mascara is only so-so.  It's no better or worse than other mascaras I've tried.  The other mascara I use is Benefit's Bad Gal.  That one is so-so as well.  I suspect that drug store mascaras are just as good!  I don't think I'm gonna buy Japanese cosmetics anymore unless there is something really special about them.

The only thing I like is the wand.  It's bent at the end which makes it easier to get into corners.

*I actually wrote a long post about my experience with the awful company that I bought the train case from but I didn’t post it because I the file I claimed with my credit card company hadn’t gone through yet.  It has  now, so maybe I should post it… the company still has my credit card number, though, so I’m afraid they’ll find my review and retaliate!  Srsly, that’s how little I trust them!!!
