Coral Volt

Hi lovelies!

With Spring already here and the weather getting so nice lately I thought this lip combo is very appropriate for Spring and for the Summer too, this is definitely one of my favorites:

Oh no!

Hi lovelies!

So this happened to me on Sunday:

I was applying my Too Faced Shadow Insurance, and when i was putting the cap back on, I saw this mess!

I was bummed, but luckily it had been a week since I bought it, so yesterday I went back to my local Sephora and got it exchanged for a new one, yay! I also felt sooo tempted to buy a couple of things, but i held it together and walked out just with my new primer :p

Has this ever happened to any of you before?

Have a great day!

Hi Lovelies!

I don't usually wear red lipstick, and didn't own any until now that I've been expanding my makeup collection, and along with it, my "discovery" of red lipstick.
These are the reds I have purchased lately:

 

From Left to right: 

Revlon Colorburst "True Red"

Revlon Super Lustrous Matte "Really Red"

MAC "Ruby Woo"

Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss "Fire"

Happy Wednesday!

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!

Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss mini shopping

Hi there!

I picked up my first Revlon Colorburst lipgloss a few weeks ago in the shade Fire and today while browsing around at Ralphs, I saw another color that I was looking for but couldn't find anywhere else and it's Papaya, I will have reviews on these soon, for now I leave you with some pics and swatches.
Papaya is the one on the lower left and Fire is the upper right









Fire upper left, Papaya lower right.

Pics were taken on my phone, also this is my first post from my phone yay!

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!

Happy New Year! Hope all you lovelies had safe and fabulous holidays.

Here's my very first Face of the day post. 

Products used:

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in True Beige

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer

L'oreal quad in Bronzes

Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black Brown

Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude (very lightly applied)

:)

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 :)
