Let’s kick right into by far the most exciting item I picked up this month: the Kat Von D Pastel Goth palette!
You may have seen my swatches yesterday, and as of typing this I hasn’t yet put this palette on my eyes, but OH MAN am I ever excited to! I wasn’t originally keen on this palette because I didn’t like the idea of pastels – just a bit too blah, you know? Like it’s basically an unpigmented bright shade and I just wasn’t into it. But as I saw more and more swatches coming out on the net, I realized this was really just a brights palette with a slightly muted tinge to it. I would call these pastels at all really, and that makes me very, very happy! (They’re also all matte which is even more amazing!)
And now… with the exciting item out of the way… I picked up a pack of the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips because I’d run out. I prefer the nose strips because I feel like they do a better job than the forehead ones. But I also swear they used to say “extra strength” on them and these don’t seem to indicate that. Hmmm.
I was also getting dangerouly low on my Neutrogena Hydrating wipes, so I grabbed another package because they went on sale. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… I have no idea why these are SO EXPENSIVE (especially when you compare it to their regular wipes), so I always wait for a significant sale to pick these up. They’re my favourite ones EVER, but I’m still not okay with paying $14 for them!
So that’s it for February! Pretty small eh?
I don’t know man, that was pretty thrilling. Had I not redeemed my points this month, I would only have a compact from L’Oreal to show and I got it on sale for $2…
Haha BALLIN’!
$14 for those makeup wipes – that’s ridiculous. I use their regular ones (in the blue packaging) and I really like them but I’m going to have to look into those ones, they sound interesting.
Looking forward to seeing the look you create with the Pastel Goth palette!

The blue ones just have a lot more “juice” in them, so I find that makes it easier to take my makeup off overall.
I’ve tried two looks with the Pastel Goth palette now and I gotta say it’s kind of a struggle. You need to bring other palettes in for a great deal of dimension and that’s kinda frustrating me at the moment!
