I've noticed that one of my most viewed posts over here are the Armani Rouge d'Armani swatches. I figured that people appreciate seeing swatches of items from the same brand. I was surprised that I had not done swatches of all of my By Terry Rouge Terrybly lipsticks, since it is one of my favorite lipstick formulas. I'll keep it short and sweet, so here are the photos: from left to right

Addiction Sugar Rusk on the left, Tuxedo Moon on the right This is the summer collection I've been waiting for this year.

By Terry Hyaluronic Blushes (Summer Splash Collection)

2013-04-20T11:57:00.001-04:00

Hi ! So yesterday I saw a little piece of the By Terry Summer Collection, but only some of the products were there to be seen, so I grabbed the blushes, which were my main interest. I was highly disappointed in last years collection because she released a lip stain, which was so patchy, uneven, and it would hardly show up on my lips. I'm relieved that she released products which are MUCH

Haul in the past couple of months :D +

Videos! Skincare: Makeup! :D Let me know if you prefer more videos or primarily sticking to just writing. I know for sure I want to do a video once I have my organization set up.

Items in my current rotation +

2013-04-06T11:35:00.000-04:00

Since I've been on a hiatus, I need to make up for lost time (oops). Okay, so items I have been using often are as follows -- FYI I got the RBR compact as a gift from Sethakins. It's not a sponsored post, nor am I getting paid to post it. Armani Precision Retouch Concealer: Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's time to lay off on the heavier texture face items...at least my skin

Rouge Bunny Rouge Time Defying Foundation +

2013-04-06T10:36:00.001-04:00

Hi and I'm back ! :D FYI: The review on the product I received as a gift from a friend. It's not a sponsored post, nor did I purchase it (although I was planning to). I've been busy settling into my new apartment. It's still a barren place (still almost no furniture), but all of my stuff is in the current residence. The downside is that all of my makeup is in bags/boxes. I threw out my old

2013-02-14T03:29:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone! I've been a bit quiet when it has come to blogging / reviews... I can somewhat explain the silence: for the past few weeks I've been in the process of finding an apartment. [rewind] Many years ago, when I came to this city...I found a room to rent. It was cheap, walking distance to my temporary job at the time (so I didn't have to spend $ on transportation). As time progressed,

Which book has made the most profound impact on your life? The Stranger by Albert Camus. I read it in high school and it basically determined the outcome when it comes to my relationship with my mom. I even have a tattoo of Mersault on my back. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? I actually enjoy New York City. If I could live anywhere else,

Dolce and Gabbana Luminous Cheek Color Swatches +

2013-01-24T15:19:00.001-05:00

I've gotten a lot of questions about the Dolce and Gabbana blush shades, so basically I arrived at Saks today on a mission: swatching some blushes. The best lighting I could do of the physical swatches is outside, with flash. It's a cold, cloudy day. 19 degree weather to be exact. I had to be in a tank top outside of Saks. Yea, you get the idea. The things I do for this blog. :) I hope

A Special Thank You to Rouge Bunny Rouge

2013-01-24T09:31:00.003-05:00

A little backstory... I'm no stranger to the Rouge Bunny Rouge line, I do love their products, but of course I'm a person who tends to go through phases when it comes to makeup. For a while, I'll be into Suqqu or say, By Terry. Then I'll change to something like Dolce and Gabbana, and so on. They're all great brands, but I'm just a creature of phases I guess. I was curious about their new

Hi everyone! I hope things are going well for everyone now that January is seemingly coming to a quick close... My end makeup-wise, nothing much is happening, so you may not see many posts. Reason being a lot of the new items that are being released aren't that interesting (to me). Spring and Summer collections are the ones that I buy the least from, since I tend to favor dark, deeper colors

Burberry Hydrangea Pink vs. Tom Ford Narcissist blush

2013-01-14T08:09:00.003-05:00

Hi all! I wanted to make a quick post before I head on over to the doctor's office. Basically there are people who are wondering how the two blushes compare in terms of color and formula. Amount of product you get: Burberry: 7 grams Tom Ford: 8 grams The biggest difference is the texture. Tom Ford's is drier and not as easy to apply compared to Burberry Hydrangea Pink. HP is smoother,

Dolce and Gabbana Contrasts Palette +

2013-01-13T08:44:00.001-05:00

And so it continues with my reviews on Dolce and Gabbana makeup ... My favorite eyeshadow palette thus far has to be Contrasts, I don't know if it's because it also happens to be my first palette from the line. Anyway ... Packaging: It's gold with Dolce and Gabbana lasered on the center. As I've stated my issues with the packaging in other reviews, it scratches really quickly and easily.

Happy late holidays everyone! Lots of things happened in my life: busy working, a new pet, being home for the holidays...lots of traveling and no time for myself. I know there were a lot of people wondering about what I think of Dolce and Gabbana, which is the main reason why I came back for this post. Just be prepared...main reason is that Dustin now works for the line, which means I can

Tom Ford Enchanted Eye Color Quad +

2012-11-27T11:10:00.001-05:00

Tom Ford is a line...that for the longest time I couldn't get into. For a few reasons: I own one of his original private blend lipsticks...Didn't care for the formula or wear time. When you're paying over $40 for a lipstick, it has to be special. Tom Fords lipstick formula isn't special to begin with, let alone the price point for what you were getting. His current lipsticks now are worse

Hi all! Happy late Thanksgiving everyone <3 I hope everyone had a great day with loved ones. My turkey day was on Saturday at my friends house. I got to eat fried turkey leftovers. mmmmm delicious. A bit of a random aside...I'm still here with the new boyfriends place with a fraction of my stash. How I've managed to stay here living out of a bag for like a month is beyond me. I've been busy

Dolce and Gabbana Makeup and Sephora:

2012-11-18T08:17:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I've always had a few people who asked what I felt about Dolce and Gabbana makeup. I've owned a couple of lipsticks a few years ago, and didn't care much for them since they weren't long lasting, so I gave them away to a friend. Since that time, whenever I would go to a counter, the associates at Saks weren't so friendly. They always told me to not touch the displays, or simply

By Terry Holiday 2012 -- Or de Rose Blush Prestige and Opaline Flash

2012-11-11T07:52:00.001-05:00

So after having issues with my machine, seeing a boy who doesn't seem to stop asking questions about my makeup, being sick, not to mention now visiting my parents...here I am. Now, let's discuss Terry Holiday (in terms of what I purchased): Or de Rose Blush Prestige: it's not the first liquid blush from Terry that I own, but in comparison to the others, it's less sparkly. I remember

Good morning everyone! I'm still not at my house...but my life is more "normal", especially when it comes to transportation. I'm still with friends, which means my makeup stash is far far away. But as a result, I'm reviewing things I'm liking as of late. ;) One of my newer possessions, Addiction Cheek Stick in Tea Rose is definitely something that I'm seriously enjoying. Packaging: It looks

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is okay after Hurricane Sandy. I'm not at home with all of my makeup, but I am safe with power. Thank you to all who had asked how I'm doing since right now I am in a location where I can walk to most places, whereas had I been stuck at my regular residence, I would have access to almost nothing. Given my circumstances, I can only really give a small review on

I was asked to do a video on my makeup brushes....and due to my nature to explain my thoughts on them, I broke it down into four sections. I hope you enjoy the videos and feel free to ask me any questions in the comments :) Introduction, Face & Lip Brushes: Cheek Brushes: Eyeshadow Laydown and Eyeliner Brushes: Eyeshadow Blending & Crease Brushes and Conclusion:

So yesterday/today is the official release of By Terrys new liquid primer. It's taken me a while to get around to reviewing it for a couple of reasons: 1. I wanted to test it on a couple of different foundations to see how it wears 2. Being busy getting ready to pack for my vacation. My plane leaves in the morning. Packaging: Tube packaging with a silver cap. Nothing special. I do wish there
