Well hello there! It’s only been 2 days since I’ve checked in with you guys but it feels like forever! I’ve been on the road for like an entire day but now that I’m all settled in I’m ready to share my new goodies with you!

I went into Ulta searching for the elusive NYX Purple Rain lip liner but, of course, I had no luck finding it. I did come across two really cute pink Xtreme Lip Creams though! I picked up Strawberry Jam, a deep warm fuchsia, and Dolly Pink, a bright cool pink. The formula seems to be really close the Soft Matte Lip Cream but it feels creamier and has a bit of sheen. I haven’t tried them yet but I have a feeling I’ll like them!

I received a sample of the Urban Decay Anarchy Revolution lipstick a long time ago but I liked it so much that I finally invested in the full size. It’s a beautiful bright, mid-tone fuchsia that lasts for hours on end. I can’t wait to review it for you guys!

Lastly, I snagged one of the Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liners in Violet. I saw them in the Ulta catalog and went nuts over Fuchsia and Violet. Especially Violet! It’s a mid-tone violet that feels pretty smooth and creamy. It also has a self sharpening top too!
