This is the story of my rash decision, inability to control myself in Sephora, & intense love for lip products. So I received one Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick as a sample ages ago. I set it aside. I promptly lost track of it because you guys know…I prefer reviewing 5+ lip products for you guys to go over formula, shade selection, & I’m super wordy just in general. But then, in the back of a drawer, I found it. & I swatched it. & I wore it once. & I fell in absolute love. This was months ago. & then I decided to do something crazy. [Read more…]
Zoya Perfect Lipstick Line Swatches & Review
Zoya is one of the first brands I completely fell in love with when I first starting blogging. Their nail polishes wear incredibly well on me & the colors speak to my soul. They’ve released lipsticks here & there in the past but when I saw they were releasing an entire range- YES! I knew I needed them in my life!

Butter London Lippy Moisture Matte Lipsticks Swatches & Review
Has anything hit harder in the lip arena lately than the matte trend? Matte lipsticks are so hard to get right. For my dry lips I have to pay attention to moisture content & something that glides on beautifully. I need something that is beautiful, easy to apply, & won’t make my lips look like the Sahara. Is that too much to ask? Is it really?
Butter London has solved so many issues for me including not having very many matte lipsticks to recommend to people. Butter London has some of my favorite exterior packaging ever with cute nature touches. You will be able to see close ups of the Butter London Lippy Moisture Matte Lipstick shades below including swatches & lip swatches below!
It Cosmetics Limited Edition- The IT Girl! CC+ Lip Serum Holiday Collection Lip Swatches & Review
This morning I woke up to the heater being off. I left my slippers downstairs so I had to walk barefoot on the tile. I then proceeded to freeze my hands when washing them. Winter is definitely here. Because I grew up in southern California, I am a bit bias about this winter nonsense. I would much rather visit snow than live in it. The one shining light during this season for me is the makeup…& all of the new releases! It Cosmetics is one of my favorite brands & today I get to share one of my favorite lippies in a limited edition form.
The packaging on this trio is obviously amazing- the more companies that catch on to the awesomeness that is holo the better. The It Cosmetics CC+ Lip Serum Limited Edition Holiday Collection includes three Hydrating Anti-Aging Color Correcting Crème Glosses. All three shades are limited edition & I believe exclusive to this set. I’ve actually reviewed It Cosmetics glosses on my blog here & here…& actually bought one for my mom as an early Christmas present! Can you guess if I will like these yet? [Read more…]

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