So while I was visiting Germany I, of course, had to check to check out Art Deco. For some reason I wasn't expecting much, but I really liked the brand overall. The pigmentation and quality of their products is outstanding. Considering the exchange rate, they are about the cost of MAC, maybe a little bit more expensive, but not much, and the quality is a lot better. I guess since they are a German brand I didn't expect the pigmentation to stand up to brown skin, but I was wrong...very wrong. All of the eye shadows and blushes come magnetized, so they can be stuck in a mini palette of three shadows and one blush color. I didn't see large palettes, but I'm sure they exist somewhere for MUAs. They have the color range of MAC, but the quality of Bobbi Brown, it's heaven really.

I really liked this pink gloss and I kind of regret not picking it up, but I was really broke and I did make a pact not to buy any mu I hadn't planned for. My friend is still there so I might have her go get it for me.

FYI: The blush color #30 is a great NARS Orgasm dupe. It's actually a lot better than Orgasm and as you can see from the picture they also have a lot of colors similar to NARS. The vibrant orange reminded me of Taj Mahal.

Other brands and the way they layout the store...
