What’s On My Nails – Maybelline Shocking Seas

May 20, 2012 0 comments

It’s been a while since I’ve done a “what’s on my nails” post so I thought I’d get back into the swing of those. This week I’m wearing one of the new colors recently released in the Maybelline Color Show collection called Shocking Seas. Shocking Seas is a teal blue cream color with no shimmer or sparkles. It’s more on the darker teal side than bright but it still makes a bold statement. So far [...]

I know, I know…I’m a little late to the Tres Cheek blush party. So many other great products jumped in line in front of the two MAC Tres Cheek collection blushes I bought but I still wanted to show them. So, better late than never right? Modern Mandarin is so darn pretty, how could I not show it here? It’s a bold orange tangerine blush unlike anything I have. You might think “Whoa!” but it’s [...]

Revlon ColorStay Smoky Shadow Sticks Torch and Flare

Revlon ColorStay Dual Ended Smoky Shadow Sticks Torch and Flare – Review, Pics and Swatches

May 19, 2012 0 comments

Another new product I stumbled upon at Rite Aid last week was Revlon ColorStay Smoky Shadow Sticks ($8.99). Smoky shadow sticks come in 5 color combinations. The idea behind them is two eyeshadow colors in each stick, one light and one dark, to give you the perfect no fuss smoky eye. I picked up the colors Torch and Flare. I’ll start by saying that I’m 50/50 on these after my testing. On one hand, I [...]

May 18, 2012 0 comments

I’ve been dying to try the NYX powder blush in the color Red for a while now but can’t seem to get my hands on it. It’s currently out of stock at NYX.com and Cherry Culture so when I saw MAC Frankly Scarlet ($20) I knew I had to have it! Frankly Scarlet is a vivid red matte blush. It is quite shocking when you look at it but don’t worry, it won’t look like [...]

MyGlam Bag – May 2012

May 17, 2012 2 comments

Today I’m sharing my final MyGlam bag with you. After April’s disappointing bag, I gave myself one more month to decide if I should continue my subscription. Well, sadly this month’s MyGlam bag did not impress me enough to see a point in sticking with it any longer. Philosophy Love Sweet Love Fragrance – a soft fruity scent with maybe a hint of floral, can’t quite tell but it’s nice. Studio Gear Lipstick in Redwood [...]

Tarte Romancing The Glow Amazonian Clay Eye and Cheek Palette – Pictures and Swatches

May 16, 2012 0 comments

I am obsessed with my new Tarte Romancing the Glow Palette ($39.98). This Amazonian clay eye and cheek palette is being sold for a very limited time at QVC.com. Maureen, the creator of Tarte cosmetics, swears that this is a one time only deal. These palettes will never be sold anywhere else and once this quantity is gone, that’s it. The packaging itself is so cute. It measures 4 1/2″ across and has bamboo wood [...]

Birchbox Gossip Girl Edition – May 2012

May 15, 2012 0 comments

Usually I’m not one for spoilers but I just could not resist this month. I watched several YouTube videos and read blog posts containing the contents of this month’s Birchbox. Big mistake! Every time I do that I end up disappointed with mine, as was the case this month. I’m not saying that this month’s Gossip Girl inspired Birchbox was bad but I had high hopes that it would have been just as great as [...]
