Doing these sketches and reading http://www.temptalia.com/ have really helped me to consider what I have in my collection before I make a purchase. Temptalia will list possible dupes for make-up and it's even better if you compare it yourself!<br /><br />I bought the UD Naked 1 palette but ended up returning it when I decided I already had colours that were fairly similar. Here's my comparison: http://juliaminamata.blogspot.ca/2011/07/urban-decay-naked-palette-vs-my.html.Julia Minamatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333093975977215893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978297190380048600.post-73638162146941223392012-05-05T19:44:39.474-04:002012-05-05T19:44:39.474-04:00I absolutely love the idea, and it looks amazing! ...I absolutely love the idea, and it looks amazing! <br />I'm definitely gonna try it too, thanks so much for sharing :DLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927715884614337126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978297190380048600.post-43162862510889325702011-09-13T13:14:50.612-04:002011-09-13T13:14:50.612-04:00Glad that you like it!

I love the illustrations - it's interesting seeing makeup presented in a different yet relevant art form. That picture of the UD Naked palette is so cute! I'd love to see you do one of the 120 shadow palettes. ;)makeupmaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903427931939280606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978297190380048600.post-14761214617167016222011-08-28T14:28:18.544-04:002011-08-28T14:28:18.544-04:00Thanks, Christine!

It's even something artsy to pin up or frame somewhere!<br /><br />Taken a step further, it would also be fun to do "look charts" like MAC does for different make-up looks on their site, except with your own make-up! It'd be a nice way of documenting when a combination really worked.Julia Minamatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333093975977215893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978297190380048600.post-35638734860720912562011-07-07T13:58:39.841-04:002011-07-07T13:58:39.841-04:00Wow awesome.

Not only is it fun to take stock of your make-up collection, it really has tempered my desire to add to it.<br /><br />Although unfortunately my energies have been diverted to trying all sorts of different fragrances. I practically live on Fragrantica.com now :P. <br /><br />Fragrances are fun because whenever I'm in a mall I can wander into a Sephora or a Shoppers Drug Mart or even a Bath & Bodyworks or Body Shop and spritz to my heart's content! And then when I get home I look up the fragrances and see if I can tease apart the individual notes.Julia Minamatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333093975977215893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978297190380048600.post-21196972465588550272011-06-26T06:22:30.978-04:002011-06-26T06:22:30.978-04:00Oh wow this is so cool! you've really inspired...Oh wow this is so cool! you've really inspired me...
