Brightspots in my Day... (Look what I won!)

Hello Glamour Dolls,

I am back in stride, my vacation was relaxing and I caught up on a lot of rest and just enjoyed some of the simple things in life.

Before I left, I won an awesome giveaway by Donna at Lovin' All Things Fab! Donna is always busy but still has time for one of her passions...beauty. She inspires me because her makeup (FOTD's) always looks fierce no matter what's happening!

She has that sincere, down to earth personality that you can relate with... when you get the chance, visit her blog and You Tube channel.

SUGARPILL EYESHADOW IN BULLETPROOF

I don't know how long I've been wanting to try Sugarpill's eyeshadows but it's been a very long time, I was so happy to see this in my package...it's a matte black shadow.

WET N WILD PALETTES

Both palettes are new to the Wild and Wild collection, I'm a big fan of Wet n Wild and I really wanted to pick up a few more of their items but haven't been able to, so; I was uberexcited about these palettes-especially since the colors are perfect for every day wear.

Walking on Eggshells palette

Silent Treatment palette

URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE

I still can't believe I won it... the Urban Decay Naked palette!!! This palette needs no introduction, it's been all the rave since it first came out and people are still going crazy over it. It's neutrals turned up a notch! I can't wait to see what looks I'll come up with using it.

I'm really, really excited about everything! I've been on a makeup hiatus for a while and haven't bought any in a few months... everything couldn't have came at a more perfect time :-). Thanks again, Donna, for the makeup goods!

Do you have any of these items in your collection? If so, what do you think?

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: ...
