Last week, I introduced a Chanel Illusion D’Ombre cream shadow from the new fall collection called Rouge Gorge. I’ve had time to test it out and asked Angela from Beautyandthecat to co-star in this post with me to show how it looks on different skin tones. Chanel Illusion D’Ombre in Rouge Gorge

ColourPop released a line of liquid lipsticks about a month ago ($6.00). Silly me thought I could just go on their website and stock up on the day of release, but I was met with very slow and unresponsive servers. After about 2 hours of trying to check out, I gave up. The next morning I woke up to check…

There are a lot of things I have been eyeing for the past month, some of them new, and I thought I would share them (aka, be an enabler). I first noticed the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Palette a few weeks ago. I liked the Sleek Face Contour Kit a lot more than I thought I would and always have my eyes open for…

This weekend I picked up two of the Sephora Collection Colorful Shadow & Liner Pencils ($14.00). These are supposed to be high-pigmented, waterproof, and long-lasting. I was curious as to how they would perform against the Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic Eyeshadow Pencils. I picked up the colors purple and dark taupe shimmer. I love that they come in…

I have been eyeing the shade Ayesha from Kat Von D’s liquid lipstick line ($20.00). The color (described as a rich lavender) is so unlike anything I would have ever thought of wearing, but the more I looked at it, the more I wondered if I could pull it off… Sooo I went to Sephora to test it out. What do you…

I’m not gonna lie, I bought this sheet mask for the the packaging. I’m not usually much of a sucker for marketing ploys, but I often need an “after night overtime” mask lol. I wasn’t expecting much from it but I’m actually quite pleased! After a 90’s coverband concert, champagne, and Jack Daniels, I woke up in the morning exactly…

These babies are part of the Birchbox x Stila collaboration, in a kit called Stila Look at Me ($20.00). I have wanted to try out the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks forever, but the Summer colors just looked so bright, I was kind of scared to invest in them. So when I came across this little Birchbox trio, it was like…

After my stint with Charlotte Tilbury’s Mona Lisa, my interest has peaked with cream eyeshadows. There’s no real reason for it besides I stayed away from them for a long time thinking I wouldn’t like using it. I was aware of Chanel’s Illusion D’Ombre shadows but was a little bit turned off because of the descriptive phrase “intensely shimmering long…

I was so excited for the launch of the new colors of the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks ($20.00). After careful examination of the colors on the Sephora website and stalking the Kat Von D Beauty instagram, I decided on Mother and Double Dare (review to come). Mother is described as a dusty mauve pink but on me it’s…

I have been wanting to try some of the products in Tyra Banks’s new cosmetics line and was so excited when my sister dropped the Sculpt in a Stick and the Light in a Stick on my counter. Eyes lit up like fire; it was like she read my mind. I was very excited to try them out and ended…

The Kat Von D. Metal Crush Eyeshadows ($21.00) are brand new, highly pigmented, metallic eyeshadows. I was so distracted by the launch of her newest shades of liquid lipstick, I had no idea eyeshadows were accompanying them. I went into Sephora to see what I could see, and was very surprised when I saw these. A single rub of this…

Well, it’s actually a bee and a snail and I guess they had a baby and produced this mask… First off, I had a like-dislike relationship the Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack ($3.00). I really love the construction of the mask, in particular the eye flaps that allow you to cover the area underneath your eyes. I was…

Angela from Beauty and the Cat brought this cute little collection to my attention so I asked her to tag-team this one with me. Funny story is that I was actually in Miami at the Lincoln Road Mall location when I picked these up. The collection wasn’t available at the store near my house when I first heard about it so…

This blue baby, the Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Electric Blue ($11.00), came to me courtesy of Angela over at beautyandthecat.com. From looking over the products on their site, the brand Marcelle reminded me a lot of the Italian brand, Kiko. The brand description of the eyeliner: For impeccably lined eyes anywhere, anytime! Perfectly blendable, its creamy formula allows for a…

I recently purchased a couple items from the Sleek Makeup website; long overdue as this is my first Sleek Makeup purchase! The first item I picked up was the Creme to Powder Blush in Gerbera ($8.99). Now this photo on the box has some color issues! I definitely took these photos in natural sunlight, so not sure why the camera has the color…

Don’t you just love when things work surprisingly well? Like better than you thought? While this is rare, it’s happened to me with this sunscreen. The only other time I can remember this happening to me is with my Mizon Multi Function Snail Repair Eye Cream. As a sunscreen noob, I did a good amount of research before I settled…
