A Black Book Meant for Me

A "little black book" can mean different things to many people.  In the ancient time, a black book is synonymous with power. Whoever gets hold of it will have the key to having significant information that could spell power, success, or failure and even death.

It is perhaps this shroud of mysticism that led ELF to create their "little black book" series.  I got hold of one which I now happily consider, truly meant for me.

Its unbelievably tiny its just as big as m palm!

Although it says its Volume 1, Vol.2 was nowhere available just yet.

It has a built in mirror and a tiny sponge applicator.

The neutrals.

The fancies (along with more neutrals).

The colors are just what I need.  Plenty of neutrals and just enough fancy hues to play with when the need arises. 

What I Like:

• The myriad of colors! Gosh! How can I not drool when there's FORTY-EIGHT of them! 
• So tiny I can carry it with me all the time!
• No weird scent, whatsoever.
• The price! Geez, I only shelled out PhP399 for this!

What I don't Like:

• Pigmentation of some.  Without a primer, some colors just don't show up much.
• A seeming duplication of some hues.. One taupe is akin to another, another brown pretty much like the other.  They could have concocted more distinct colors, I wish!

Over-All:
I am loving this pallete...and thanking ELF for coming up with something as useful as this. Which leads me to wondering however, what could the Volume 2 be about hence?

Oh well, I can only wait.  For now, I am still basking in my love affair with this find.  Afterall, it's what I consider, "A Black Book Meant for Me." ;-)
