Runway Boutique
807 S La Brea Ave

I discovered this place while trying to find another vintage shop "Jet Rag" and stopped here, because I noticed they were having a sale, they sell mostly reconstructed vintage to make even cooler pieces. The People here are really nice and informative. They are also having a sale this weekend January 15th(11:00am-8:00pm)-16th(12:00pm-6:00pm)Items will be priced $15-$30 bucks. Below is a picture of what they generally carry.




I just want to note that I'm am not getting paid for advertising these shops, but showing great interest,liking, and wanting to share that with you-all :)

Item: Flirt "Dreamy Eyes" Eyeshadow
Commnets: I brought the Flirt eye-shadow in Gypsy Nights, usually I buy cheap eye-shadow like drugstore cheap, but I was in Kohl's browsing around ended up buying this item. Tried it and my review is, its very pigmented and smooth, but doesn't blend smoothly with other colors well, maybe this depends on which tool you use? I used two different tools and found blending a little difficult, but what I really do like is the mirror, the bold colors, and how the color blended into the skin, didn't loose color, where other products I used lost 50% of the palette color when applied to my skin.
Rating: 3/5
Cost: $12.00
