Product of the Day...EOS Lip balm

EOS lipbalm in Summer Fruit

This is a somewhat new thing that's taken all lip balm lovers by surprise. This lip balm is quite interesting because unlike most lip balms/chapsticks, it comes in a spherical, egg-shape thingie. No twisting, no finger dipping, what you see is what you get. Despite it's cool shape, what really counts is in the inside and honestly, I'm not liking it too much....



According to its website, this balm is 95% organic and 100% natural. It promises long lasting moisture and will keep lips looking and feeling healthy. I was really excited about trying this. To my disappointment, it wasn't that great. I had to go over my lips with the balm about 5 to 6 times before being satisfied. One swipe will leave a thin layer of almost nothing there. It isn't long lasting either. Would I purchase it again? Nope. I'll just stick to my Burt's Bees Chapstick =)


That's it for now folks..Toodles!! ^_^

Maybelline Eyestudio Swatches and Reviews

I just happen to own three of these and thought I'd share some swatches with you guys =)


Copper Chic


Irresistibly Ivy


Sapphire Siren

and these are the swatches...


top row: Sapphire Siren
middle row: Copper Chic
bottom row: Irresistibly Ivy


My first impression of these were, "WOW! they're gorgeous!!"..but after using them, they're just "okay". The colors are very shimmery, not an overpowering kind of shimmer but a rather pretty shimmer. I think they are very pretty. BUT...the colors don't apply on the shades they appear to be. When you swatch them on your hands/arms, they're super pigmented but when applying onto the eyelids they kind of loose that bright color appearance and instead show up kinda dull and blah. I find that it's better to apply them with the sponge applicators that they come with because you can very easily brush the colors off if using a brush. The only shades I really like are the highlighting shades. They're perfect for applying near your inner tear ducts and just beneath the brow. Would I repurchase this? probably not.




Here's a quick EOTD using the Sapphire Siren Palette. (like I said, not very true to its color)

i-Divine Sleek Palette in Original

This was ordered from ebay for me for my birthday last month for about $15.00. I've been using it a lot lately. I absolutely love this palette. The colors are so soft and so pigmented, almost creamy in a sense. You hardly get any fall outs. The only color that needs a little work is the yellow one. The yellow shade is not very pigmented and you get a lot of fall outs. I love, love, loooove this palette!! These colors are so versatile. The two pink colors are my favorite.






The colors are gorgeous!! I recommend this palette to everyone and anyone. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite palettes.

Too Faced's Glamour To Go Palettes I and II

I purchased these two palettes from Sephora over the holiday for about 20 bucks each. They're great investments for makeup beginners. They come complete with 8 eyeshadows, 4 glosses, and a blusher. Everything is quite pigmented, only downfall are the glosses. Although I've only tried one of the glosses, I can already say that I won't be trying the others. haha. I think they're just way too thick and way too sticky. I made a freaken mess out of one of the glosses just trying to dig out some color to use.

Palette number ONE: The pink one

Although three out of the eight shadows are a bit chalky, the decent pigmentation makes it worth the buy. The purple shadow is my favorite. The blush is pretty. Glosses-don't quite like them. The only thing that bothers me (besides the overly sticky glosses) is that the chalky shadows have too much shimmer. I feel like too much shimmer takes away from the pigmentation of a color. If I were to pick one palette over the other, I'd probably buy the other one....which brings us to our next subject...

Palette number TWO: The black one

This is the better palette of the two. All the colors are beautiful, perfect for day or night use. The blush is very pretty. All the shadows are shimmery but not too shimmery. you know? haha. The top-right color is gorgeous!

Here are the swatches..

FOTD

Went to the football tournament yesterday to support the boyfriend's football team. It was unfortunate his team didn't make use of his talent. They won one game and lost the other. Babe went home disappointed. It's okay though, there's always next time...i guess.

Happy 25th Birthday Hunnie

Celebrated the boyfriend's 25th birthday this weekend. He had such a good time. He's truly the best and he deserves only the best. LOVE you so much babe =)


he adores me..hahhaha

I'm in LOVE...

I walked into Sephora Saturday and absolutely fell in love with this palette...





she's so freaken beautiful!! I walked around Sephora, with this palette in my hand, for 30 minutes contemplating whether I was going to get it or not. Only problem is it's over fifty bucks. I've never spent fifty bucks on one single makeup item before. But this wasn't just any ole palette. It was a Tarte Palette, loaded with 16 shimmer shadows, 16 matte shadows, 16 lip glosses, a bronzing and illuminating powder,and 4 blushes!! All for only fifty bucks?!! At this point, I was like.."I have to get it. I'd be an idiot if I didn't"

*sigh*.. I honestly am in love with this package. All the colors are so vibrant and so beautiful. It sits quite beautifully on top of my makeup desk and every time I walk pass it, I find myself turning around, grabbing it, opening it, and admiring it (at least 3 times everyday so far..haha). I totally recommend this palette. Paying 52 bucks for something that is really worth over 600 bucks is sooooo worth it.

Along with this, I also bought two of Benefits creaseless cream shadows. They came together in a cute lil baggie for only 10 dollars, so it was definitely a must buy. I haven't used these yet but have heard good reviews on them.

Anyways..let's get started with the swatches.

The 16 Shimmer Eyeshadows..










The 16 Matte Eyeshadows..







The Lip Glosses..



The Blushes





These are actual Tarte size eyeshadows. So it's not like you're getting a sample of everything, you're actually getting it in it's full-size. Quantity, plus Quality? This is an A ++ buy.

Here are the creaseless cream shadows..


Honey bunny (pinkish) and Recess (light beige-y/ivory)
