Color pop-up palette & comic convention haul

This month I missed the Monthly Theme Post, but I really didn't have the time to think of a good outfit.

So this time I'll go for a make-up post.
Actually I just wanted to show you guys my new palette - my first palette! :D
Lately I've found myself more and more interested in make-up. Recently I've been watching a tv show that I like very much; it's run by a girl who used to live in my same region and, after becoming Youtube famous with her tutorials, moved to New York to study as a make-up artist. Now she has this very interesting tv show, which got me interested in make-up.
I thought that if I wanted to achieve her same results I needed to buy at least the basics, so the first thing I did was buying some good brushes, a primer and a couple eyeshadows (that's right, I've never used that before, I just used eye-liner and mascara). I bought white, red and black, because I thought they were the best for a goth make-up; but that was just the eyes, and by the way I needed to try some non-goth make-ups as well. Also, I had absolutely no idea which were the right colours for my skin and my lips, so I decided to buy a palette, so that I could experiment as much as I wanted, without spending 10 or 20 € at the time for each single product.
I bought this one (right-click and open in new tab for better resolution)

It's quite tiny when it's closed, but when you open it it becomes very large.

Isn't it beautiful? It has everything I might need: 64 eyeshadows, 12 eyeliners, 6 top coats for eyeshadows, 6 top coats for glosses, 48 glosses, 3 blushes, 6 primers for eyes/cheeks/lips, 3 lighteners and 3 brushes.

The only thing I still needed was foundation, so saturday I went looking for one. I ended up buying a BB cream, of which I'll talk when I'll have time to take pictures of it on my skin :D

And now, the comic convention haul :D

This time it was a really small convention, I didn't think I would have found such pretty things. Instead, there were pretty good cosplayers and I found some amazing stuff:

I've been looking for a Lannister girls t-shirt for AGES. Damn Jaime, it's your fault I could never find a t-shirt of your house.

 This bag <3 I'd been eyeing it on goth websites for a while. Now it's mine *_*

These are Sana Kurata and Akito Hayama from Kodomo no Omocha, and this is my favourite illustration of those two. I couldn't have been luckier.

 Miwako and Arashi from Paradise Kiss. There were even earrings with Yukari and Joji (and a lovely Marie Antoinette necklace <3) but they were quite expensive, so I only bought these two couples.

Has any of you bought a palette from Sephora, or any other palette? What do you think is better, to buy a palette or to buy single items? I'm sure you're all more experienced than me for as regards make-up XD!
