Here kitty kitty kitty....

I got to use my new Hello Kitty Too Dolly palette this weekend!!! and to think i wasn't going to get it........ It's my favorite palette and i'm not even a Mac palette buying kinda girl. I think the colors look good on all skin tones but look especially good on very dark skin tones. So before you count this palette out, go try it on at the Mac counter with a paint pot or some kind of primer on first. When the collection had first launched, I swatched it on my hand, no primer or anything. everything looked a bit chalky and I didn't think i needed Too Dolly (the aqua color)...though i dont have anything like it. And I thought that Stately Black (the 'black' in the quad). But after seeing it on a MUA using a neutral palette and seeing how beautiful Too Dolly was and seeing that Stately Black was actually a blue, i HAD to have it!!!!

here's the look i did with 2 of the colors this weekend. I can't wait to do a look with the pink!!!

all Mac unless otherwise stated...

FACE:
Studio Fix Fluid NC45
NC45 select cover up concealer
Slave to Love blush
Definitive blush

EYES:
Soft Ochre paint pot
Too Dolly
Stately Black---see, you can't get caught up in color names..it will throw you off!!!
Cork--you could just use any neutral taupe-y color
Shroom

LIPS:
Hodgepodge liner
Nars Sand Piper l/g (this is what was on first but i was eating all day and chewed most of it off)
Viva Glam 6 l/g (layered on top of the sand piper after it wore off)

This is so gorgeous! I'm sure I can recreate something similar without the palette. Maybe I'll try! And your hair is so lovely~

I do love the Too Dolly palette. I questioned myself for hours about this palette, but the colors pop on my skin (NC45).

I've only done 1-2 HK looks so far mainly using Too Dolly & the Blue Green pigment. I'll have to give this one a go as well.
