MAC Huggable Lip Colour

Seen this on TrendMood1 I hate the packaging I'm going to tell you that right now. Why can't they just be those lute black bullets? And I im assuming they have something amazing to them. They have like 3 collections out right now it's hard to keep up with them! This will be available May 14th. Who knows, this might be an amazing product!

Blushed Nudes by Maybelline

I have been waiting for this product like nobody's business. I thought this is for sure an alternative for UD Naked 3 which I don't even touch (how sad). This was true huge display hey had at my Walmart which is weird they were by the pads and shampoo. If I wouldn't have turned to go that direction I would have missed it. This retailed $9.98 plus tax of course. I thought to myself "Do I need this knowing I have the Naked 3 sitting at home" and the answer is always yes!

I took it home and immediately noticed how alike they were and that's good because this palette is beyond affordable. This palette is a lot better than the other 2 palettes they had which where a flop because they were so chalky and overrated by the YouTubers as always. So this formulation to this is so much better. Feels like a normal shadow, some shades are actually buttery and that I love. Once swatched and compared to the UD Naked 3 I swear they are identical shade wise. The last shade the back with the specs of purple are a bit different and it's not as pigmented as the UD Naked 3. 

I really like this palette and I think it's a definite dupe for the Naked 3 shade wise. Of course the texture and pigmentation are not the same but some good brushes maybe some primer and maybe some Fix + will definitely do this palette some justice!
             










Where the Light Is Colour Pop

Here is what the end results are for Kathleen Lights Palettes. So pretty and yes it's another neutral palette very much up her alley. This will be available April 9th. The packaging is so cute and the reflectives on there is such a neat idea. I'm going to purchase it because I'm a neutral shades kind of girl and I love Kathleen!

Benefit Colored Mascara's and Push Up Liners

Seen this on TrendMood1 and I'm not sure what to think of it. When I seen this, I thought what were they thinking. Yes but supposed to enhave we colors and I know for  a fact every year about this time, some brands come out with colored mascara to enhave eye color, ex. Maybelline came out with some couple years ago. I'm not a fan of the concept, i Love my liners and mascara black, like my soul. Jk. I haven't tried their mascara, so I can't say much for it, and as far as their push up liner goes, I refused to buy it. First, lots of bad reviews, I don't go off bad reviews a lot, but I did go to Sephora to take examine it and asked the ladies about it and they said that product kept being returned, it was hard to use, now that being said I don't know why Benefit came out with colored versions of this. I hope their limited edition or at least reformulated. Will be available this summer around June/July

Christopher Kane Collection by Narst

Here are some swatches from he Christipher Kane Collection from Nars. The swathes seem okay, but the packaging is gorgeous! I love the pink logo it is truly eye catching! If I decide to splurge it will be for packaging purposes and it might just be th blush. 

Lorac Summer 2015 Collection

It seems like some new products will be launching out from Lorac including glosses, shadows and what seems to be a baked bronzer. I only own one item from this brand which is their Lorac Mega Pro which I happen to love, I seen this in TrendMood1. Not sure about release date or prices. Will keep you updated! 

Kat Von D Brushes and Lolita 2

As like the contour palette she had the contour and highlight brush, she came out with a dual ended brush which seems to look like a crease brush and a pencil brush, great concept but I'm not a big fan of dual ended brushes because the way i store my brushes they are standing which means one of the brushes are touching something and that is a pet peeve of mine, yes I'm a weirdo I know lol. 
And if anyone cares like me about Lolita, and how they had different shades for that particular color, I have the same Likita different shades and I love them both, we all had about a Lolita 2 coming out and it has been confirmed! So excited and I will be buying this without any doubt!

New BH Cosmetics goodies

New goodies at BH Cosmetics. Love that they came out with a purple beauty sponge and it's only $4.95! I guess it's cheaper than the Real techniques sponge which retails about $5.95. Could this be just as good!? It also states you could use this either wet or dry. That's something because most beauty sponges suggest you use it dampened. 


Tarte Rainforest After Dark Colored Clay Eye & Cheek

I guess they brought this back. I did see it awhile ago and it does look pretty but I guess I missed out but I guess if I wanted it, here it is! It is $38 and available on their website .best sellers

make a mauve (plum mauve)

Has anyone seen this out yet? Maybe they are stepping it up. Apparently is like a brush in powder. I'm not sure but here is what it possibly looks like. Not sure on prices yet. I guess this is a sneak peek, and who doesn't love them?

In Bloom Colour Pop

Available now for $39. 3 lippie stixs 2 blushes and a highlight!  I've heard nothing but good things about this brand and they are very affordable. Pretty pink hues! That highlight on medium and deep skinned looks amazing! 

R.I.P Duo Adheisve Glue

I rarely don't wear lashes at all, I'm comfortable putting them on, and I feel like I don't need them, I have a nice full set of lashes and I think for me mascara is enough. Well of course since I'm a beauty blogger I test out lots of stuff to do nice full reviews (which I haven't lately been busy remodeling my kitchen) so the other day I bough Ardell Demi Wispies, my gosh they are gorgeous, so here I am applying the Duo lash glue applied on the lashes like normal, looked in the mirror everything was fine, until I removed them like normal. Except this time my eye felt swollen and I felt like there was a bald patch where the glue might have yanked my real lashes (so sad) I had no idea what went wrong but my eye is swollen and on the lash line it's pink. so I think I might be allergic to it or something, but I've had it and used it before and never had a problem with it, I forgot to mention I only put lashes on my right eye just to see how it looked. Anyways does anyone recommend a good lash glue that helps with sensitivity. Leave your suggestions below, Now I am scared to use lash glue in fear that it will yank out my lashes, and I must say I didn't put too much glue on, just a thin even layer.

Rave Swatches by Lime Crime

Here is what Rave looks like swatches, let's be clear I didn't purchase Rave whatsoever, these are just swatches. The color is really pretty, too bad her company is going downhill. The color is gorgeous and was described as "Dodgy Girl and Lavender Jade (Both by MAC) but better. So i'm assuming you can always get Queen Supreme and call it good, they are a bit different but who's going to judge?

Beauty Finds Under $10

Yes, I have some absolute beauty finds at under $10. Not bad. I love inexpensive stuff that is amazing! Let's get to it.

St. Ives Oatmeal Scrub and Mask $4.29- Let me start off by saying, this smells delightful. It's so refreshing. I tend to gravitate this more than other cleansers, because it's cheap, smells good and gets the job done. You can either use this as a scrub to clean off impurites or as a mask. I love, love, love this mask! It really clenases my face and leaves it soft and clean!


Cetaphil Cleansing Cloths $5.39- I used this when I remove make-up especially eye make-up. This is very much moisturized and it leaves my face feeling moisturized as well. The first time I have tried this, it was sent to me and I loved it since. It doesn't irritate my face like other brands do. Gently removes make-up and whatever gunk my face might have.


Sally Hansen Miracle Gel $7.97- This line is genius. I swear by it. My polish is chip free for almost 2 weeks. Amazing considering I change dirty diapers, wash dishes, cook, etc. I love this. It is pricey but if it isn't going to chip than the price is amazing. I used to get my nails done at a salon and just for "gel polish or shellac" it was $30 and that is only to have them painted, no acrylics. Rip-off! This is a true bargain.

N.Y.C City Proof 24 Eyeshadow Primer $2.77- I love more of a pencil primer for whatever reason, I find that it adheres better than a liquid primer, at least for me. This is so inexpensive, and my shadows do not crease and they stay on really well.

Ardell Lashes $3.49- I don't wear lashes a lot but when I do, they have to be this brand, the band isn't too thick, they are so easy to apply and they have styles to suit anyones needs, and they also have natural looking lashes.

Batiste Dry Shampoo $5.99- I have more of wavy thick and frizzy hair. I tend to only wash my hair maybe every 2 days, yes gross, but that works for my hair so it works for me as well. So on 2nd day hair I use this dry shampoo. It takes care of any oiliness my hair might get. Smells, good and once again gets the job done. Bravo.


Maybelline ColorSensational Lipsticks $5.50- These are my favorite affordable lipsticks. they have an amazing color selection, from Matte, Pastel, Reds, Pinks and Nudes. Everyone who knows everyone has raved about the Creamy Matte's and I can see why. These are the only lipsticks I ever pick up at the drugstore. I love them, affordable, good color payoff, quality, need I say more?

Dupe Alert! Too Faced vs. Hard Candy

Could this be a possible dupe alert. Very similar. Too Faced is more rosey and warm whereas Hard Candy is more warm neutral. And they have the same name palette "Natural Eyes" I need swatches! 

MAC Spring 2015

When we think of Spring which is tomorrow by the way! I think of flowers and spring and pretty things. Here are some pictures from TrendMood1. I love the whole collection. So pretty and pastel! I want some of the beauty powders though and maybe the creme sheen Lipglosses or maybe everything. Greedy right. Actually there are a lot of things out that I want! If only I was rich to afford all of these goodies. MAC has a lot of good collection it at the moment, but there are a lot of other brands that are awesome as well!
