Review: HYPNÔSE Baby Doll Lashes from LANCÔME

I had a mini-lapse in judgment last weekend and dropped a nice chunk of change at the LANCÔME counter.  I didn’t mean for it to happen; I was there with my mother, who had scheduled a facial the last time we went to the counter.  While I was waiting for her to finish her facial done, the associates demonstrated several products for me.  I loved all of them, but I bought just a few (seven, to be correct).

Urban Decay Naked Basics palette

Back in November I posted about the upcoming Urban Decay Naked Basics palette…and of course I picked it up! I was getting tired of all the shimmery shadows in

my makeup collection, so an almost all matte palette was just the thing I needed.

Urban Decay (UD) says the following about this palette: “Naked Basics is more than just the long-awaited, multipurpose MATTE companion to Naked. It’s the palette EVERY woman needs in her beauty arsenal. With

six stripped-down, Nakedly neutral shadows, it has everything you need for the perfect neutral matte eye—including four totally new and exclusive shades.”

The Naked Basics palette contains six shadows. UD describes the shades as the following on their website:

  • Venus: soft, off-white demi-matte
  • Foxy: cream bisque matte
  • W.O.S. (Walk of Shame): very light nude matte
  • Naked 2: taupe matte
  • Faint: warm, dusty brown matte
  • Crave: deepest, darkest brown/black matte
Top: Faint, Middle: Venus, Foxy, W.O.S. and Naked 2, Bottom: Crave
Currently, the Naked Basics palette is the cheapest palette UD makes with their new eye shadow formula. The palette retails for $27 and Foxy is the only re-occurring shade from a previous Naked palette.
So far I’m really enjoying this palette, it was the exact change I was looking for in my eyeshadow routine. Also, this was my first time trying the new UD shadow formula and I can tell the difference- they are much smoother.
The packaging is also nice because it’s sleek buy cialis and compact and

also has a significant sized mirror. It will be perfect to travel with and throw in my purse.

I still have yet to get the Naked 2 palette, but right now that is

wayyy down my wishlist because I really want

the UD Glinda palette.

Have you picked up the Naked Basics palette?

Review: Revlon's Nearly Naked Foundation

Before jumping into this post, I just want to say I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA recently. But I’m back with a new post about the recently very hyped

Revlon Nearly Naked foundation.

I have to admit- I have not tried very many drugstore foundations, but with all the rave this foundation has been getting I just had to jump on the bandwagon.

I picked up shade 110 Ivory, which is the lightest shade and it matches my skin perfectly. The Nearly Naked foundation line has 16 shades to choose from and you can find which shade will match you on the Revlon website. This foundation also has SPF 20 in cialis online it. Read More

Review: MAC's Painterly Pot

Recently, I made a trip to MAC, hoping to find a few new eye shadows

and maybe a lip gloss.  Well, I got all of that and one of MAC’s paint pots, Painterly to be exact.  At first, I thought it was an eye shadow primer, and I was ready to decline; I have so many primers that range from drug store brand to high end that it would be a shame to buy another.  However, after talking with

one of the store attendants, she told me it’s highly pigmented, but also

works with other shadows and liners.  It helps shadow stay on and works with the shadow to create a new dimension to your eye shadows. Read More

January 2013 Birchbox

I was pleasantly surprised this month when I picked my Birchbox out of my mailbox this month and could tell it was substantially heavier

than usual. You

will have to read on to figure out why, but I’m happy with this month’s box. Here is what came in my January 2013 Birchbox…
