Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear.

2013-05-15T12:30:00.000-05:00

Milani released two limited edition collections for May. The first one I will be talking about is the Milani Naturally Chic Collection. This collection features six limited edition shades of the Milani Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencils. This collection will be available at select Walgreens, HEB, and Fred Meyer stores. The collection will also be available at the Milani website.

I was super excited that they released some matte Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencils since the other shades are all metallic. These work great as eyeshadow bases or you can even wear them on their own. I never have any issues with fading or creasing when I use them. All shades are highly pigmented!

Description: Get Naturally Chic with these big and blendable 2-in-1 color rich nude pencils that can be used as shadow or liner. Creamy smooth, long-lasting, water-resistant, crease-proof and Paraben-free formula. The next generation of shadows that you sharpen.

Retail Price: $6.99

Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencils in Black Ink, Espresso Line, Cafe Au Lait, Almond Cream, Sand Dunes, and Golden Bronze.

MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish - Definitely Defined.

2013-05-09T12:30:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago I posted my haul from the MAC In Extra Dimension Collection. You can click here to view that post and swatches of my haul. I decided to go back for the third Extra Dimension Skinfinish from this collection, which is Definitely Defined.

I was not going to get this one at first because it looked a bit too light for my skin tone. Definitely Defined is better suited for those with a fair or light skin tone. It's not too bad on my complexion once it's applied to the cheekbones. I just have to make sure to not apply too much.

MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish in Definitely Defined.

Retail Price: $30.00

Description: silvery pink/soft rose with shimmer

I am finally getting around to posting my haul from the MAC Fashion Sets Collection. This collection features lipsticks, lipglasses, lip liners, nail polishes, and eyeshadows.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick By Kate Moss.

2013-04-06T20:40:00.000-05:00

Earlier this year I purchased a few of the new Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipsticks. These have been on my wish list since last year while browsing a few U.K. blogs. Walgreens had the full display of the lipsticks. There are exactly 10 shades available, but some stores might only have 5 or 6 of the shades.

Description: Kate Moss brings color to a unique dimension. Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss gives the gorgeous color richness and comfort of Kate's lipstick in a velvety matte finish. A ruby powder-enriched formula intensifies color while keeping a matte finish all day long Matte's been re-invented for the most velvety comfortable color ever! Get the velvet touch. Velvety, rich color

Retail Price: $4-$5 (price varies depending on store and location)

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipsticks in 103, 104, 107, and 109.

Be sure to watch the video for my thoughts and live lip swatches!

Initial Thoughts: The lipsticks are medium to full coverage. They are very pigmented! They have a fruity watermelon scent. Some people who are not fans of scented lip products may not be fond of it. While these lipsticks are matte I do not find them to be drying. I would actually consider these to be more of a satin finish. The formula is really moisturizing and has a slight shine to it.

What were some of your favorite products from March?

NYX Butter Gloss.

2013-03-31T13:00:00.000-05:00

This year NYX Cosmetics released tons of new products for 2013. One of the products released were the NYX Butter Gloss. I love NYX lip products and definitely knew I had to try these. NYX Butter Glosses are available in 12 shades. Cherry Culture had them on sale for $3.50 and I ordered some from there. Also big thanks to Samantha for picking me up 3 other shades too.

NYX Butter Gloss Shades in Strawberry Parfait, Peaches & Cream, Merengue, Cream Brulee, Peach Cobbler, Tiramisu, Apple Strudel, Cherry Cheese Cake, and Maple Blondie.

Description: Add a little more sweetness to your lips with a touch of the Butter Lip Gloss available in 12 scrumptious colors! Get creamy sheer to medium coverage on your lips without that sticky sensation. It’s perfect for every sweet tooth!

Retail Price: $5.00

Be sure to watch the video for my thoughts and live lip swatches!

Strawberry Parfait, Peaches & Cream, Merengue, Cream Brulee.

Peach Cobbler, Tiramisu, Apple Strudel, Cherry Cheese Cake, Maple Blondie.

A closer look at the packaging for the NYX Butter Gloss.

Packaging: The NYX Butter Gloss have simple and standard lipgloss packaging. The top coordinates and matches the color of the gloss. These glosses have the basic doe foot applicator. They contain 0.23 oz (6.5 g) of product.

Texture/Formula: The texture is semi-thick and it's a creamy formula. I personally do not find them to be sticky. The formula is a sheer to medium application. There is absolutely no shimmer present and every shade is a cream finish.

Scent: I love the scent of these! NYX Butter Gloss has a vanilla scent. It instantly makes you think of sweets and desserts. It's very reminiscent of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams.

Pigmentation: Pigmentation will vary with each shade. It also will probably vary depending on the natural pigmentation with your lips. As stated above these apply sheer to medium. Some shades are more pigmented than others, especially the darker or brighter shades.

Swatches of the NYX Butter Gloss Shades in Strawberry Parfait, Peaches & Cream, Merengue, Cream Brulee, Peach Cobbler, Tiramisu, Apple Strudel, Cherry Cheese Cake, and Maple Blondie.

I definitely recommend the NYX Butter Glosses! The scent is great, the formula is nice, and they're very inexpensive. If you are not a fan of the NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss then you will probably like these a lot more. They are perfect to pair and wear with a lipstick.

Spring is just around the corner and I wanted to do a Spring inspired look. I pulled out my Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Palette in Sparkle 'Til Morning and created this look. I'm pretty sure this will be my must-have eyeshadow palette for the Spring and Summer seasons. This look features bronze on the lids and bronze on the cheeks. It's very Springy!

Be sure to watch the video for all the steps to achieve this look!
