Be glam. Be fancy.
Talk about a gift and a curse! Playland is such a fun, unique lipstick from MAC but it takes a lot of work to get right. My goodness! I prayed to the makeup gods that Playland would play nice with my lips like the ever so lovely Viva Glam Rihanna but it’s a whole new ballgame with this one.
It’s so easy to fall for Milani. Especially with great lippies like Pink Rave! I’ve a tried a couple of the Lip Intense Liquid Lip Colors before but Pink Rave is easily my favorite. Fiery Coral was quite the hassle. Violet Addict was much better and the color is beautiful but it still didn’t wear as fabulously as Pink Rave. This lip color is just perfection! (more…)
I’m back with more swatches! I really had good intentions on not going crazy with the MAC Playland Collection but naturally that backfired. Bright lippies just get me excited! I managed to pick up Playland lipstick, Happy Go Lucky lipstick, Pure Silliness lip glass and Brightside lip glass in store. But I also scored Red Balloon and Toying Around lipsticks online from Nordstrom. I’m so naughty! But it feels so good!
I had like the longest day ever! I rushed out of the door super early for a ton of shopping. Makeup shopping. Truck shopping. Sheesh! Talk about fun yet stressful! I’m just glad that it’s finally over. Oh, and that I scored some new lippies and found a new truck. Yay! As you probably guessed, I’m beyond exhausted but I didn’t want to dissolve into my bed until I shared some swatches with you guys. I’ll admit. They were a little rushed since I was under a tight schedule but I’ll have a few more coming your way soon. In the meantime, enjoy!

Good morning gals! I’m up bright and early getting ready to hit my local MAC Pro store for the release of the ever so bright Playland collection. As you can see, I’ve collected a mountain of empties to return to MAC for some free lippies. Yes, free!
The good news just keeps flowing this week! I went nuts after missing out on the limited edition Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette when it released during the holidays last year. Can you imagine my excitement now that it’s permanent this year? I couldn’t be happier! I know limited edition makes everything seem so elusive and magical like unicorns but I actually dislike when the good stuff isn’t permanent. It just makes things more difficult than they need to be. Makeup shouldn’t be so darn complicated! Thank goodness that Hourglass (like MAC) has decided to give us another chance.
I’ve really been digging the Revlon Legacy Collection these days! Icy Violet turned out to be quite the shimmery treat and Snow Peach isn’t too bad either. It’s such a beautiful color for spring and summer. Take a peek! (more…)
Milani isn’t all about awesome lipsticks and gloss. They’re pretty good at making blush too! I’ve been a fan of their baked blushes for quite some time so I was really excited when Milani decided to add some matte colors to the line. I really hope to see some new shades soon because I’m loving the formula so far! (more…)
Okay technically these lipsticks aren’t “new” but I’m pretty darn happy that they’ve been added to the permanent range! Today, MAC has decided to bring back a handful of limited edition and pro store only shades to Nordstrom for good. Of course, I already own quite a few but there’s still some shades I don’t own but can’t wait to get my hands on. Take a look!
I told you I’d be back soon with some Revlon Legacy Lipstick reviews soon! I’m trying to get myself in the habit of actually using the stuff I haul instead of pushing it to the back of my stash for months on end. Things are getting better! I’ve been all over purple lippies lately so, of course, I chose to test out Icy Violet first. Take a look! (more…)
