    Be careful with the less expensive Sephora brand palettes...they tend to not have a ton of pigment, so you don't get much color out of them.

    If you're looking for night-time makeup, like something you'd wear while dancing, I recommend Urban Decay, Make Up Forever, Dior, and Smashbox. Guerlain has some really excellent bronzers; their spray-on one is phenomenal, you just have to even it out with a brush afterwards. Tarte is all-natural, and their mascara is surprisingly nice, given the low price. Amazing Cosmetics has the best concealer I've ever seen. Tarina Tarantino products are a lot of fun.

    I am loving smashbox right now.

    I have the sephora GIANT MOTHERF-ING palette, and I will say that it's filled with deeply unflattering, un-pigmented hues. It's great if you're into dressing like a peacock and want to do weird makeup to boot, but not really great for any other reason.

    Look at too-faced naked eye and natural eye palettes, they've got some beautiful hues there, pigment is worthwhile.

    ugh thats so dissapointing!! Ive never tried the sephora brand before so thats good to know. The price is really attractive but I hate when the pigments dont show for crap, I got the Tarte jewel box (or something..) palette and I loved the colors but the pigments hardly showed so I took that back. Will have to investigate Urban Decay, i havent tried their stuff!

    Also, if you're buying, you should ask for a few samples of their perfume. I hate to go in and ask for perfume samples unlesss I'm buying, but they will give you little mini spritzers which are perfect for work. love, love, love!

    Whatever you get tell us about it. I don't buy alot of makeup cause I like great color and and long wear but don't trust websites that sell the product to give truthful reviews.

    wellll I did end up getting a sephora brand palette, but not the blockbuster one! I teste the colors in store and they seem pretty nicely pigmented, at any rate their return policy is suuuper liberal so Ill give it a try for a week and if it sucks back it goes! I got the SEPHORA COLLECTION Color Play - 5 in 1 II - Fashion Edition ($150 Value), $30. Aaaannd some Buxom lip gloss, in 'Destiny' (lol may have to be my new stripper name. just saying.) So far I really like the gloss! Only complaint is that its a little sticky.... As for the perfume saples... LOVE haha I always bug them for some, I got some LaVanila vanilla passionfruit, that stuff is amazing im sad its 58 bucks. Same with Flowerbomb (viktor and rolf) I LOVE it but its $$$. Ill let you know how the palette works!
