NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Carpates: Swatches and Review!

Hey, guys!

So... I've been on the market for a new liquid liner for a while, and I finally decided to go for the NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Carpates, since I've heard amazing reviews AND I've never owned a NARS product before. So here we go :)

Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette: Review, Swatches, and Looks!


Hey, everyone!

W're going two for two today with palettes! Today I'm reviewing Wet n Wild's Comfort Zone palette! I know, I know, where have I been for the past year, right? I always pass this up because I think I'll never get any use out of it, and the other day, with some help from my best friend, I caved and bought it. Trust me, you will not mourn the $5 you spend on this.

Swatches and Review: LORAC Unzipped Palette!

Hey, guys!

I know I haven't been on here for quite a while, and that's because I've had so many amazing things happening in my life recently! I was the godmother in my cousin's first communion, I scored interviews for two awesome jobs, and I'm starting to prep for graduation in May! I'm SO excited, and the product in this post really reflects that.

I've been eyeing the Unzipped Palette for quite a while now, and just couldn't seem to pull the trigger. What attracted me to it was, strangely, Stila's Kitten eyeshadow. I was on the hunt for a super shiny champagne color, and I was soooo reluctant to pay $20 for Kitten that I looked for it in a palette. This took me to Stila's In The Light palette, but I wasn't crazy about the other colors in it. Lucky for me, LORAC is right next to Stila at ULTA, and I fell in love with the Unzipped Palette. We flirted for a few months before I decided to take our relationship to the next level. We met at Sephora and decided to commit.

Lip du Jour: Revlon Lipstick in Berry Haute

Hey, guys!
Today's lip shade is one that might not be everybody's favorite... Berry Haute is a very light purple that verges on being a lilac, and it's one of my favorite shades for when I'm feeling daring! It's very much a statement lip color.

Shade Of The Day: Maybelline Color Tattoo Metals in Inked In Pink

Hey, guys!

I know I just did a Shade Of The Day, but this is a special occasion! Maybelline just released a Metals collection of their Color Tattoo range, and I saw one shade I just had to have.

MAC In Extra Dimension Mascara Review and Demo!

Hey, guys!

I've been on a total MAC kick lately, and this week I thought I'd give one of their mascaras a shot! MAC doesn't have the best reputation for mascaras (Haute & Naughty being the only one with a decent track record), but once I saw the brush for this mascara, I knew I had to give it a shot.

Shade Of The Day: MAC Star Violet

Hi, guys!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are ready to take on the new year! To start things off I have one of my favorite eyeshadows from MAC, Star Violet. This is a really interesting Veluxe Pearl finish, and is somewhere between a purple and a brown. Next up on the list is a massive review on Urban Decay's Vice palette, so watch out for that!

Lip du Jour: Revlon Lipstick in Black Cherry

WELCOME.

To my new obsession.

So, everyone and their mothers know that the biggest trend for fall and winter fashion shows was the color "ox-blood". That means that people have been scrambling to find deep burgundy in jeans, boots, sweaters, scarves, and yes, even lipsticks. Since this is a passing trend, I wanted to find a cheaper lipstick that would give me a trendy look without taking off with my wallet when the fad passes.

Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Palette: Review and Swatches!

Hi, everyone!

So.... Finals are done with, which means I have my freedom back! :) On my first day back home I stopped by Sephora to check out Urban Decay's new palettes, and ended up buying something completely different. As you may already know, Tarina Tarantino will no longer be sold at Sephora; I do think they are planning to open free-standing stores sometime in the near future, but for now all of their stuff is on sale at Sephora!
This palette normally retails for around $45 and I snagged it up for $27. This takes each of the blushes down to around $7 each, which was irresistible!

This is the outer sleeve/box the palette came in :)

Walk the Line: Milani Color Play Felt-Tip Liquid Pen in White Line

Hey, guys!

Today's eyeliner is one that has been making regular appearances in my everyday makeup routine :) Milani's Color Play eye liner in White Line is a felt-tip white liquid liner. This is one of the few white eyeliners that I've found to be opaque and easy to apply.

Pampered: LUSH Porridge Soap

Hey, everyone!

Today's featured product is from LUSH, my newest obsession. I recently took a road trip down to my nearest LUSH and pretty much went crazy. Aside from one soap, I'd never tried anything from LUSH, so I took this opportunity to try out all of the wonderful things I'd heard YouTube raving about.
The first thing I picked up was a slice of Porridge Soap.

Wet 'N' Wild Knock On Wood Eyeshadow Trio: Swatches and Review!

Hey, everyone! 

Today's post is on one of the most affordable brands at the drugstore. Wet 'N' Wild has always had a bit of a reputation for being low quality, "tacky" makeup, but in the past year and a half, they've really vamped up their image. Their blushes and eyeshadows are amongst the best and cheapest in the drugstore, which makes them amazing for beauty junkies on a budget.
This trio is called "Knock On Wood," and features a light satin pink, a medium shimmery brown, and a  deep, red burgundy.

Lip du Jour: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo

Hi, guys!

Today's lip shade is a cult favorite: NYX's Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo. NYX's lip creams are supposed to be opaque, matte, and (obviously) soft. Monte Carlo is a bright pink red.
