New Makeup Haul + Hello Kitty!!


I know I hav'nt posted in awhile! My camera has not been working lately so I havnt been able to post any pictures! It seems to be working again for the time being so I thought I would post some pics of some of the new things I have got.


This is Estee Lauder's new Pure Color Gloss Stick in 'Pink Sorbet'! I just got this yesturday so I have only tried it out once but it's a gorgeous pink color. It gives good color like a lipstick would but still has the shine like gloss does. They have quite a few colors and are going to be part of the permenant line.










I also Back to Mac my empty eyeshadow pots and got 2 eyeshadows. Mulch and dazzlelight!

Then from Hello Kitty I got tippy blush! This is a gorgeous pink color on the cheeks. It is a beauty powder blush so have to be careful when applying.










I was also at a Mac Pro store and have been looking for a nice dark purple. This is what teh Mac MA suggested. Its still not 100 percent the color what I have been looking for but its gorgeous so I had to get it. Also its my first Mac pigment! The color is Grape and it is a pro color at least thats what he told me.












I also got a few more things from Hello Kitty! All my Hello Kitty stuff was a present from my hubby!





Top: Mimmy
Bottom: Nice Kitty

Last item is probably my fav from the collection. The tinted lip conditioner in 'Pink Fish'. I love the way this looks and smells. I'm almost tempted to buy a back up but I know this will last awhile.

January Favorites

So I have decided to do a list of my favorite makeup/hair products that I am loving that particular month. I will post my list at the end of each month. I thought it would be fun to do!

  • Bath and Body Works Cocunut Lime Verbana hand lotion
  • Blonde and Redhead MSF (I can't choose just one)
  • Femmi-Fi eyeshadow
  • Fifth Avenue Frosting Lancome Juicy Tube
  • Magnifique Perfume (Lancome)
  • OPI nailpolish: Lincoln Park After Dark
  • Potion #9 by Sebastian (hair product)
  • La Base Pro (Lancome's face primer)
  • Angel Lipstick (Mac)

These are the things I find I use mostly everyday right now!! If you have any questions about any of them feel free to post in the comments!!

Lancome La Laque Fever

I have been really bad the last few weeks at not updating my blog; but work has been busy and when I get home I just don't really feel like doing much of anything. I haven't even really been on my computer much. But work has slowed down now so hopefully I will be better about updating.



Anyways this is one of Lancome's newest items. It is a lipstick gloss. It gives you the long wear of a lipstick ( up to 6 hours) and the glossyness of a gloss. It comes in 3 different formulas. The color I got is called 'Electric Pink'. It is a fuchsia color with pink sparkle. The swatches don't do it justice. These are great. They all give amazing color and look great on. It was hard to choose just one. I had to limit myself cuz I really don't need any more gloss, but I think this shade may be limited. It is one of the colors in the spring collection. These are going to be permanent but a few select colors will be limited. I hate when they do that and you find a color you love.
Here's some pictures of it.

Swatches

These are my swatches from my newest Mac Haul!!



Teddy eyeliner and Black Russian eyeliner! This picture does not do Black Russian justice. You can;t even see the silver sparkle in it, its really pretty!!




Knight Devine and Pen'n'Pink



Well Dressed Blush and Redhead MSF!!! Well Dressed Blush is a really light pink and since I'm fair to begin with it didn't show up that dark on my hand, but trust me on its a really pretty baby pink and gives the cheeks a really pretty sheen.


Estee Lauder Shadowstick






OK so I have already broke my no buying any cosmetic rule. I seriously can't help myself. But I needed this so I figure it doesn't really count.






I have read and seen a lot of reviews for Mac's shadowstick in Sharkskin and since it's discontinued I wanted to find something close. Well I think I found it! It's Estee Lauder's shad0wstick in Black Pearl, which is more of a darker grey than black but it's amazing with a dark eyeshadow over it!! See the pics below...


Estee Lauder Shadowstick in Black Pearl


It really makes a difference in the eyeshadow color with the shadowstick under it. I love it and can't wait to try it tomorrow!


First stripe is shadowstick color, second stripe is Lancome eyeshadow in Trendy on top of the shadowstick and last stripe is the eyeshadow color by itself.
