Sleek iDivine Palette Review Part One

This weekend I got my first Sleek iDivine palette in the mail. iDivine is a U.K. mineral-based eye shadow line, so you can use them wet and the eye shadow won't seal over like regular eye shadows.

 I ordered Storm #578 on Ebay:

The colors are very pigmented and you get 12 eye shadows for around $15.00  I paid $14.60 from seller gift-ideas-store (link: http://stores.ebay.com/giftideascosmeticperfumestore )

There are nine shimmer shadows, light golds and peaches as well as silver, slate and dark blue (some swatches):

 and three matte, a light brown, a dark brown, and a black  (swatches):

I have another palette on the way but I won't be getting it until May 10th at the earliest.

P.S.: I use this for cleaning off my hands when I swatch, Wet n Wild Eye Makeup Remover:

I would never waste my good eye makeup remover on swatching, so I just use this.  It's very cheap and gets the job done.

The Journals of Louisa May Alcott

(Originally posted in my personal blog)

 All about Louisa: http://www25.uua.org/uuhs/duub/articles/louisamayalcott.html

From amazon.com: From her eleventh year to the month of her death at age fifty-five, Louisa May Alcott kept copious journals. She never intended them to be published, but the insights they provide into her remarkable life are invaluable. Alcott grew up in a genteel but impoverished household, surrounded by the literary and philosophical elite of nineteenth-century New England, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Like her fictional alter ego, Jo March, she was a free spirit who longed for independence, yet she dutifully supported her parents and three sisters with her literary efforts. In the journals are to be found hints of Alcott's surprisingly complex persona as well as clues to her double life as an author not only of "high" literature but also of serial thrillers and Gothic romances.   Associate editor Madeleine B. Stern has added an in-depth introduction to The Journals of Louisa May Alcott, the only unabridged edition of Alcott's private diaries.


The end of the book is boring because Louisa doesn't pay much attention to it at all towards the end of her life, I have to say. The first two thirds of the book are great though. I loved reading about all the writing she had published in her life.
