I bought it. Affiliate links.

Too Faced came out with these beautiful palettes a long time ago…& I’ve just been sitting around on them. I know- shame on me. I have had these for a really long time because my husband gifted them to me as a surprise…but I haven’t got an excuse for why they haven’t made it onto the blog yet! Both palettes are beautifully packaged, have nice pigmentation, & are oh-so-summery! Keep reading to check out the Too Faced A La Mode Palette & the Bonjour Soleil Palette! [Read more…]

PR Sample. Affiliate Links.

Ever fallen in love with a look so hard that you just repeat it over & over? I have been absolutely obsessed with the look & color combo so don’t be surprised if you see it in upcoming videos & such. With the humidity completely settled in & here to stay I’ve been looking at more comfortable/effortless skin & long wearing, comfortable makeup on the rest of my face.

I bought it. Affiliate links.

I meant to share this way before I took my trip out to California for IMATS LA 2014…but clearly that didn’t happen. Sorry guys! I also know this is limited edition BUT you can still find it at some places so I’m covering it anyway! I reviewed the Cargo Vintage Escape Eyeshadow Palette awhile back here (also limited edition unfortunately) & totally feel in love. I snapped this one up right before my trip- keep reading to see my thoughts!

I bought it.

I’m extremely late posting this because I was extremely late finding these! I was practically obsessing & was so scared I’d never be able to find them! If you search back on my blog then you know how much I absolutely adore the Maybelline Color Tattoos so that would have been a tragedy. Luckily I did! Keep reading to see swatches & review of the Maybelline Limited Edition Color Tattoos in Nude Pink, Just Beige, & Matte Brown from the Gilded in Gold Collection which was released in 2013.

Maybelline Limited Edition Fall 2013 Purple Lipsticks & Gloss Review + Lip Swatches

September 6, 2013 By StephanieLouise 325Leave a Comment2013-09-06+16%3A56%3A00StephanieLouise

When it comes to colors I really dig purple. I love greens as a very close second but purple is my jam. It is so exciting that drugstore brands like Maybelline are jumping on the vibrant & super bold purple lip trend & I was sucked into buying 3 products from their Fall 2013 display. There are other glosses & 2 more lipsticks but they either looked to close to shades I know I have multiples of or just weren’t for me. Keep reading to see my thoughts & lip swatches! [Read more…]

If you read my post on the new limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoo in Precious Pearl then you knew this post was coming. Maybelline Color Tattoos are just plain awesome, the only bad thing about them is that they can’t call be permanent! This collection brings about duochromes…let those angels sing. I passed on two shades (a yellow & an icy lavender) but I did pick up 5 which you can see below! [Read more…]

If you have seen my other reviews for the Maybelline Vivids (I’ve swatched them all! Part One is here & Part Two is here!) you may be telling me, “Stephanie? Why do you possibly need more Vivids?” & to this I say, “I NEED THEM ALL!” Because I really do feel that way. I simply need every single one. When I heard they were releasing 3 limited edition shades it should be no surprise I needed them in my collection. But I was scared….after many weeks of searching they just weren’t showing up! But…then they did so here they are! [Read more…]
