New store, beauty brands

My best friend took me to ultra to get my brows done in Overland Park, but though a series of unfortunate events, we wound up at a place I had never heard of. Beauty Brands. They didn't have a great cosmetics section but they were having a liter sale on all their shampoos and conditioners for 12 bucks each. I didn't get any of those but I got this Too Faced palette for summer called a la mode eyes. Very copper and coral. I also picked up a cuticle pusher from OPI, a buffer block and a container of nail polish remover. So I still (thankfully) have my brows and I got something new to try. And I have 10 beauty bucks to use if I come back here in August. :-)
En route home via Amtrak! Love ya lots!

The eyeshadows are more fragile than I expected, but they are pretty smooth application wise.I used 91% alcohol to repair the few that got shattered during transit.  I do suggest tossing out the applicators that are included and use your own brushes. I have heard okay things about the Love & Beauty Brushes, but I can't say for certain.
