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.

Recently I asked on my facebook page what kind of tutorials you guys would most like to see & I got some pretty unexpected answers! Two that really caught my eye were work appropriate & something for those with arthritic hands. You may be thinking those don’t go together but I thought I could make it work! I wanted to come up with something really effortless that wouldn’t require a lot of blending or work in general. The Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours are perfect for this!

Have you been on the search for the perfect red lipstick? Personally…I want all the red lipsticks I can find that actually wear well & look great against my skintone. I have neon reds & sheer reds aplenty, staining reds & vampy reds galore…shimmery reds….not so many! But I am always on the hunt for one that “works” without being tacky looking on me. Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Ruby Star fits the bill, check it out! [Read more…]
With my lip/hand swatches of the new Maybelline Limited Edition Fall 2013 purple lip colors came a promise for comparisons! Today I’m showing you a few side by sides plus my quick purple ombre above.
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 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…]
So if you saw my first post then you knew to expect me to pick up the last 3 shades in the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid line. I’m obsessed with “pop of color” lips (especially for spring & summer) so it isn’t a suprise I ended up buying all 10 shades to have the variety & pigmentation with the drugstore price tag! & without further babble…here are the last 3 shades!

When it comes to Spring, I like to rock me some bright lips. Neon lips, off color lips, ridiculously pigmented lips. In the past, I’ve only stumbled onto a handful of drugstore shades that fit into this category. Maybelline Vivids are something I’ve been obsessing over since I first read the press release & I’m so incredibly excited to show them to you today!
So right out of the gate let me tell you I adore these lipsticks. I really want to own them all, but my CVS basically refuses to restock the ones I don’t have. I want #12 like no one’s business but they have one damaged, mangled one left. BOO! But overall, this is definitely one of my favorite lines from the drugstore, especially for around $5. [Read more…]
