My friend gave me a gift card for my birthday and I wanted to order something fun but useful.

I figured I could take this down the beach with me in June. I could use this as a blush, highlighter, and eyeshadow.

Samples
Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste EDT
Kenzo Amour Indian Holi EDP
Bliss The Youth As We Know It
Dr. Brandt Skincare Anti-Oxidant Water Booster - Blueberry

That's pretty!

That's a very unique palette!

Nice purchase. That's really pretty!
I have Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste EDT and love it. I hope you enjoy your sample.

Very cute!

Nice compact!! The colors look gorgeous and it's a good idea using it for multi-purposes, given it's hefty price tag, lol. Enjoy your goodies. :)

That looks really versatile, and the packaging is so pretty.

very cute, enjoy it!! :)

I've always wanted to get a Givenchy palette.. maybe one day *lol* I hate spending so much money on one item. Maybe I'll get a giftcard for graduation. Hope you enjoy it though! Let us know what you think of it.

Nice!! Them Givenchy Prismissime are super gorgeous!! I'd love to hear what you think of it when you get it. It does seem like a very versatile product.

That is so pretty, I'd want to just stare at it!

The Givenchy thing is not what I expected it to be. The 3 colors that go diagonal that are really shimmery are just oversprayed. I went to test them and the color just went away.:( The underneath colors are pretty though. It's not very pigmented either but I guess that's because it's just a hi-lighter. It it very pretty and I'm gonna keep it though since I love hi-lighters. I don't recommened it though. Not worth the $50 at all and it's small too. It's smaller than the palm of my hand.

Both of the perfumes smell really nice too.:D

Aw, it's a shame it wasn't what you expected, Rachel. I'd return it for something else, especially considering what it cost.

I'm gonna try and work with it tomorrow when I do my makeup. I only tested it today.

That's really nice!

I hope you can get it to work for you. I have two of their blushes like that and while I absolutely LOVE the colors they are tiny, it's hard to get a full sized brush to fit across the surface. That said I still want at least one of the other colors:p

Thats pretty, I love it!

Okay, I just can't get it to work for me. I tried to just use it as a hi-lighter today and it doesn't even show up.:(
I can't believe it but I'm actually gonna return it through the mail. I have never done that before.

If you're not happy with it Rachel, then definitely return it. $50 is a lot of money! I've returned products through the mail before and my returns went through fine.

I've rarely returned anything, Rachel, but for that kind of money, you should love it. Are you going to exchange it for something else?

Awww, sorry to hear that it's not working for you. I'd return it too, $50 is a lot for something that's simple doesn't work.

I shipped it back today so I'll see what happens. They should credit me back $28 to my account and the $25 back on the giftcard.

K. Sephora e-mailed me and refunded my card and account.

Glad everything went smoothly, Rachel. I haven't ever had any problems sending things back. Let us know what you decide to get instead!

Glad to hear the return went well. I know what a disappointment it can be when you pay alot for something and then it just doesn't work out.

Not sure if you were aware but if you have a Sephora store near you, you can return mail orders at their stores for refunds. All you need is your reciept sheet that comes in your order and the credit card you paid with.

Okay, I ended up placing another order. I got:

Urban Decay Eyeshadow - Blaze. It's described as a peach champagne shimmer.:D

Samples:
Peter Thomas Roth Ultra Lite Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30
Zirh Clean
Cosmedicine Medi-morphosis Self Adjusting Exfoliator

Peach and champagne are two of my favorite eyeshadow shades, that sounds so pretty! Give us a review when you get it. :)

Let us know how you like that e/s, Rachel. UD's are usually awesome!

I saw the UD Blaze e/s today at ULTA. It's a very nice neutral shade, has a nice sheen to it. :)
