New Purchases

I recently purchased a Clarisonic, Urban Decay's Rollergirl eyeshadow palette, Rimmel's Extra WOW Lash mascara, Urban Decay's 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion (black) and Urban Decay's lipstain in Envious. I also bought a Nars lipgloss in Sandpiper, I'll do a post on it in a little bit!

The Urban Decay palette is gorgeous it has 4 shades, 3 neutrals ( Verve, Suspect and Darkorse) and 1 hot pink shade (Woodstock). It also comes with a 24/7 liner in whiskey. I love they eye shadows, they are so easy to blend and all of the colors work perfectly together. I have only worn the hot pink once, when I was an 80's girl for Halloween. I'm not too fond of the liner, it doesn't last very long on me and the color is too much of a red-brown.

I really like the lipstain, it is a beautiful pink color. It is a bit drying so I use a lip gloss or lip balm on top to keep my lips moist.

Swatches: Darkhorse, Suspect, Verve, Woodstock and the lipstain below.

I'm Back!

New Purchases from Clinique

I bought two things from Clinique which allowed me to receive their gift with purchases. I purchased the Acne Solutions Clarifying Moisturizer and the Chubby Stick in the shade Super Strawberry. The Acne Solutions Clarifying Moisturizer is my holy grail skin care primer/lotion. I put this on under my makeup every single day to prevent breakouts, it seems to create a barrier between my skin and my makeup, keeping me pimple free.

The gift with purchase included: eyeshadow duo, mascara, sunblock, lipstick, eye makeup remover, All About Eyes eye roller, Dramatically Different Moisturizing face lotion. My favorite products from the GWP are the Dramatically Different Moisturizing face lotion, makeup remover, and the All About Eyes eye roller. I never really cared too much for Clinque Sunblocks because they are oily and leave a blue cast on my skin.

The Chubby Sticks are great! It is almost like a lipstain mixed with a moisturizing lip balm put in a marker form. This shade looks like my natural lip color just a lot more vibrant.

Here is the eyeshadow duo that was gifted with purchase, I'm not really in love with the colors to be honest. It is a matte mid-toned brown and a light champagne shimmer color. But I don't' really like champagne shimmer colors to begin with so I am probably just bias.

New Mac Purchases

I went to Mac the other day to find the perfect brown eyeliner, I think i succeeded. Coffee by MAC is a perfect dark cool toned brown. I like to set it with Coconut Grove eyeshadow by Nars. I also picked up a Mac Cleanse Off oil. I rub it into my skin before I was my face with soap, this step must be done with dry hands and a dry face. Then I rinse off my face and the oil becomes a white liquid that melts off all of my makeup! After that I continue with washing my face normally. I love how it removes makeup quickly and easily without wasting Q-tips or cotton puffs.


Swatch of Mac Coffee eyeliner, Nars Coconut Grove eyeshadow and Nars Dolce Vita blush.
