Some goodies

Hello Hello!
I finally got me a NARS Sheer Glow foundation!. After getting a sample, i fell in love with it. I've been using it on and off since i got it in January and I love how it looks. When I got the sample i got matched with Barcelona and its indeed a perfect match to my skin color.

Went to my local Sephora and besides the NARS Sheer Glow I picked up another Illamasqua blush in Lover which is a vibrant apricot, i absolutely love this color!

 

I've been loving Illamasqua products alot, I'll do a separate post of my Illamasqua collection/Review soon.

 

Next up I went to MAC and got my very first pigment in Naked. At first i was torn between Vanilla pigment and Naked, but after swatching it, i immediately went for Naked pigment. I've been using it as a highlight on my brow bone, inner corners of the eyes and even on my cheekbones, it's a gorgeous color.

 

And lastly I got my first MAC red lipstick in Ruby Woo after a friend recommended it to me, I don't usually wear red lipstick, but I'm really loving this color.

All these products I got as a late New Years gift from the hubby :)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Some dupes

Hi lovelies!
I was going through my eyeshadow collection, I found an eyeshadow that could be a drugstore dupe for  MAC's Tempting and UD's Smog eyeshadow.

From the Maybelline EyeStudio line, the marbleized e/s duo in Mocha Mirage.

Tempting is a chocolatey bronze

Smog is a coppery bronze

I swatched all 3 and they look very similar to one another. Maybelline's e/s is not an exact dupe, but it's pretty close.

I love finding stuff like this :)

Face of the Day

Hi!

Products used:

Illamasqua Cream Blusher

Hi There!

I got my very first Illamasqua product, and I love it! It's the Cream Blusher in Rude which is a warm Coral Pink with a dewy finish.

 

Besides being my very first Illamasqua product, it's also my first cream blush. I've been using it almost every day and more and more I'm very happy with it.

 

I like the packaging, It's clean, simple, very classy and the shape is very unique to any blush I have.

 

Here are some swatches of the blush:

 On the left is blended out a bit.

 

The Cream Blush is very versatile, you can build it up to the intensity you like. Sometimes i use my finger to dab it on my cheeks when I want sheer color, and sometimes I use a duo-fiber brush for a more airbrushed  finish but with more color.

I got this blush for $24.00 at my local Sephora.

Have you tried Illamasqua Blushes or Cream Blushers, and how did you like them?

Feel free to leave your comments :)

Urban Decay Products

Hi There!

I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Palette about a month ago. I ordered it after I saw a tweet from @UrbanDecay411 that it was available at ULTA's website. Now I know what all the commotion was about, it's a great palette, colors are gorgeous and there are so many looks I wanna do that I don't even know where to start.
Here are some pics of the palette:

 

Other products i have purchased from Urban Decay this year are the Vegan Palette, Zero and Flipside 24/7 Eyeliners.
Vegan Palette:

Zero and Flipside

Urban Decay has great products and I am very happy with what I have purchased so far. I will do reviews and maybe some looks using these palettes :)

Have a beautiful day!

Hi again!

Here's the second part of my 'little' haul, next up is Avon and Mark.
Got these 2 eyeshadow quads from the Avon True Color line.

 This is Earth Tones

 This one is Island Breeze

 I do have other quads, I think I will post an Avon collection or something showing the ones i have and telling you which are my faves. :)
Next are my first mineral blushes from the Smooth Minerals line

 This is Hearty Peach (my fave) a very peachy color

 And Blushed, love the color, it's kinda like a dusty pink or a dirty pink

 And lastly the Blusher/Bronzer Brush from Mark, which I actually like to use for my foundation application,

So there you go, my"little' haul, I will probably do a review on these soon.
I think I'm going to be a good girl and not get any makeup products for the rest of the year...good thing the year is almost over hehe :p

have a great day!

Target Avon/Mark Haul Part 1

Hi ladies!

I've been feeling a bit under the weather the past 2 weeks, had a nasty cold,  but feeling better now :)
Here's a little look at what i got myself, i think i went a bit crazy but oh well :p
First I went to Target, had a gift card so i got me some goodies:
The Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows in "Not Just Nudes":

 I love this palette because the colors are very neutral and i have been doing a lot of a bronzey eye looks and these cream shadows work perfect as a base for them.

 Next, is the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in "Peach Satin" this is my first creamy blush, and I love it.
It's a peachy mostly pink,very light and gives me a natural flush of color, and sometimes i use a powder blush on top.

 Next up is the Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer which I've been using for the past week or so and I am loving it! It preps my skin very well for a smoother makeup application.

 And lastly I got my first Sonia Kashuk blush in "Melon" gorgeous color, super smooth and I've been using it over the Maybelline blush shown above, I like the combo very much.

 So here's my first part, next part is Avon and Mark.
