Lipgloss of the Month & New Product Review

This month's lipgloss of the month is something that I've stumbled upon by reading other beauty blogs. Two bloggers, Beauty and the Brown Girl and Adventures in Makeup both blogged about the new Wet n Wild Natural wear lip shimmers. Click on their links for more pics, swatches and reviews of the shimmers.

Wet n Wild makeup brand has been around for a while but they've finally upped their game in the last few years. Anyway, while at my local Rite Aid -I picked up one of the shimmers and decided to try it and I'm impressed. I got the color Tart #101, which has an orange cap so I thought the color would be orange but it came out pink... it still looks good though :)

Swatch

The result!

My thoughts... Another great creation from Wet n Wild, the price is very affordable for $1.99. It claims to be a lip balm but the color pay off is like lipstick! It's approved by the Natural Products Association and it's infused with vitamins and natural oils for optimum moisture. Make sure your lips are exfoliated before wearing it because as with any other lip balm it will flake if your skin is peeling.

I'm going to go back and get some more colors!

Mac, Inglot Haul + Swatches

Hey, Glamour Dolls! I'm back with another haul, I surprised myself by buying another haul so soon after the other one, but; I work hard... (shrugs) and I deserve it! Read on to see what I purchased and my thoughts. Click the pics to enlarge. Lippies I've been wanting Up the Amp lipstick for a while as well as Viva Glam Nicki and I'm pleased with the both of them. Up the Amp is a lavender violet color, it reminds me of a softer version of Violetta lipstick from Mac. I'm really not a fan of violet lipsticks (go figure) so, I pair it with a brown lip liner and it mutes the color down perfectly for me. Viva Nicki is gorgeous a beautiful yellow-pink color. I'm going to do a lip of the day, so you all can see how it looks. I've heard that Viva Nicki is going to be around for 1 full year, I'm definitely going to get a few more tubes. Blush I bought Sweet as Cocoa blush last month and I finally got Dollymix blush, it was on my Mac wishl...

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

I'm Hitting Pan...Are you?

Yay!!! I'm finally hitting pan on lipstick! For those that don't know, hitting pan means that you've used a product so much that you can start to see the inside pan of the container... in other words-you've used the product so much that you're about to run out of it :) I've hit pan on products before but never lipstick. Mac "O" and Viva Glam VI SE Mac "O" lipstick (purplish-red with golden pearl) which is the first lipstick I ever bought from Mac and Viva Glam VI special edition (blue based pink) are the two lipsticks that I'm hitting pan on. "O" I have had forever (shameful, I know) and Viva Glam VI I've had for a year... I've been wearing it to work every day and now it's almost gone. I love Viva Glam VI... I've never been crazy about "O" but it's wearing on me. Can you tell how much I've been wearing them? Look how tall the Pink Nouveau lipstick is in comparison! Swatches: ...
