New! Limited Edition Maybelline Color Tattoos!



Hey guys!
If you have followed my blog long, then you know that I am a big fan of the Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadows. I own almost all of the original colors. Today, while browsing through target, I noticed a display of new Color Tattoo colors! I went nuts. I picked up 3 of the 4 new colors which are: "Fuchsia Fever", "Blue on By", and "Ready, Set, Green".
I have not worn any of the colors, since I just picked them up today. But, when swatching them, I noticed that "Ready, Set, Green" was the most pigmented, followed by "Fuchsia Fever", and the least pigmented and most streaky was "Blue on By". 








Have you purchased any new Color Tattoos?

Urban Decay Haul: Free Love and Psychedelic Sister!


Hello again.
I received an e-mail a week or so ago about Urban Decay having a sale. Whenever I hear that Urban Decay is having products on sale, I have to check it out. The sale items include eye shadows, eye shadow palettes, lipstick, lip gloss, etc. I only picked up two of their eye shadows, for $9,  in colors that I had been eyeing for a while. 

Free Love is described as a "peach shimmer"
Psychedelic Sister is described as a "bright purple" with shimmer. 

Both are gorgeous colors that I can't wait to try out more!
The sale at Urban Decay's website is still going on click here to check it out. 








With every purchase, Urban Decay included samples of their new Naked Skin Foundation. 
So excited to try this out!

Seeking Pleasure? ;)



Sorry about the title.. I couldn't help myself. ;) 
Anyways, MAC recently launched the Heavenly Creature collection containing different mineralize skinfinishes, mineralize blushes, lipsticks, etc. The only thing that I decided to order from this collection was the lipstick in Pleasureseeker. What drew me to this color was the fact that it is a peachy nude. I own many (MANY) nude lipsticks but not a lot of pink or peach nude lipsticks. Ironically, MAC's Shy Girl, another peachy nude that is compared to Pleasureseeker, was the first lipstick that I ever bought from MAC. I tried it out and decided that it was too light for my tan skin tone and ended up trading it on Makeupalley (which ended up being swaplifted -_-). Despite my bad luck with shy girl, I am loving the peach nude color that Pleasureseeker delivers. This is a glaze formula so it is a little bit of a lighter pigment than other formulas, but it still delivers a beautiful wash of color that brings life to the lips. It is not drying on my lips (it feels more like a lip gloss/lipstick cross). But, it also does not last as long as other lipsticks. 
Despite it lasting only an hour or two on my lips, I am loving this lipstick and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I feel like this lipstick would look great on most skin tones unless you are fairly dark, it may be too light. 
Pleasureseeker is currently still available on MAC's website for $14.50. Click Here to check it out! 





 Has anyone tried the other lipsticks from this collection?

Also..
My boyfriend gave me a new camera for my birthday! It is a Panasonic Lumix and it shoots HD videos.. 
Possible Youtube videos in the future?

Maybelline Limited Edition Porcelain Lipsticks by Colorsensational!

Hi Beauties! 
Making my rounds at Rite Aid, I spotted a new collection from Maybelline called Colorsensational Porcelains. Since I am a sucker for nude lipsticks, I picked up a couple of the lipsticks from this collection. The two that I chose were Smooth Taupe which is an icy light nude and Nude Nuances which is an icy pink nude. The color Nude Nuances is thought to be a dupe for MAC's Hue lipstick. Looking at comparison swatches, they seem to be very similar! 
Looking at the bottom of the lipsticks' color guide in the store, I thought these lipsticks would be a little bit darker than what they are on the lips. Smooth Taupe looks kind of ridiculous on me with my tan skin. I tried it on and showed my boy friend and he told me that it looked like I had just gotten done eating powdered donuts. Not a good look...
Nude Nuances, on me, looks a little bit better. It is still pretty light but it doesn't look super awkwardly light. What I have been doing with these lipsticks, is using them to tone down my brighter pink and coral lipsticks. Like all of the other Maybelline lipsticks, they have a great moisturizing formula and color payoff. I wish two colors were a little darker for my complexion right now, but I know these colors would be great for those of you who are lighter skinned! This collection, I have heard, has been hard to find. I was able to find it at my local Rite Aid but I did not see it at Ulta, Wal Mart, or Walgreens. The price of these lipsticks are around $7.49.

Feeling Superb.


If you haven't heard of the new (er) MAC collection In Extra Dimension, then I am sure you have most likely heard about a specific product from the collection. This line introduced Extra Dimension Highlighters which are described as follows:

A liquid-powder highlighter with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights, and models the face. The cool, creamy near-fluid formula creates a luminous, well-defined finish. Wears 10 hours. 

I really wasn't planning on buying anything from any of the new MAC collections. I happened to see the shade Superb on a haul and I decided to check and see if it was in stock on the Mac website "just for the hell of it". To my surprise, it was in stock and I totally impulse bought it. 

This highlighter is perfect to add to my growing collection of highlighters. It is a gorgeous champagne frosty highlight. Because champagne is a color that goes great with many skin tones, I knew it would look good. I have been wearing this as either a highlighter for my cheek bones or to add a little luminous glow to the apples of my cheeks. 





These Extra Dimension highlighters retail for $29.00. I know that Superb has been going in and out of being sold out. If you do happen to stumble onto the website, I would recommend checking Superb and the other shades out. :)

Drug Store Makeup Haulin'

Lately, I have been doing a lot of local drug store makeup shopping. 
There have been so many sales and new products to try that it is hard to pass up! 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation in 320 Honey


Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Color
These lip products were 75% off at my local Rite Aid!



Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume in brown/black
This has been the third time that I have meant to buy black mascara and I somehow manage to grab brown and not look at it til after I get it home! Does anyone else do this?


Some more Maybelling Color Tattoo eye shadows in "Bad to the Bronze" and "Audacious Asphalt". 



Milani Compact Powder and Mineral Blushes
I was able to get my hands on some Milani products that were 75% off at CVS. I picked up a compact powder and the last 3 blushes that they had! 
When I got the blushes home I noticed that two of them had the same color name (Mai-Tai) but they are obviously different colors. I have been trying to find the name of the coral blush but I cannot! I'm pretty sure it is not "Sunset Beach" as it does not have any brown in it. I could be wrong though. 
If anyone knows the name of this blush let me know! 





What have you purchased at the drug store lately?
