Reviews: Mascara and MAC

Hi! Yes, I am still alive. I’m just poor and, until recently, I had no car.
But, I am diligent. So, I bring you things.
First, I am making it my goal in life to test out pretty much every mascara I see. Right now, that means L’oreal Telescopic and Benefit Bad Gal Lash.

If I could combine […]

I am a horrible person (or: I bought more makuep)

What, you thought joblessness would keep me from buying makeup? Fool!
I went to MAC to check out the new Matte². Holy cow. I want every single one of those eyeshadows. Thank goodness they’re permanent. They’re gorgeous, with fab color payoff. So creamy and soft and fantastic.
I ended up with (L-R) Brown Script, Prussian and Newly Minted. […]

I love The Body Shop. Seriously.

I really do. I stopped in the other day, which wasn’t smart because I am broke as a joke. But, like, free gift with purchase! So I had to buy stuff.
I picked up the Shea Body Butter, which is amazing. It smells divine, absorbs quickly, and makes my skin so so so soft.
Grabbed the Papaya […]

A mish-mash of MAC reviews!

Ok, so I fail at life, obviously. But! I come bearing reviews. No pictures yet because I’m 40+ miles away from my camera, but still. Reviews.
 Smoke Signals
I love this collection. It is so sultry and gorgeous. I didn’t walk away with too much because, well, I’m poor, but I would have if I’d had more […]

Benefit!

So, I’ve been hearing Jen rave about Benefit’s High Beam for what seems like ages. Naturally, it made me curious.
I’m sure you all know that curiosity kills the cat.
I decided to order it, along with Moon Beam and Dandelion blush. Well, the package arrived yesterday, so when I checked my mail earlier today, there it was. (And […]

MAC Pro

For those of you who don’t know, MAC Pro released quite a few new products around the time of C Shock. I went to South Coast Plaza earlier to visit the newly ordained Pro store there.
The new Pro stuff is fantastic. The colors are so different and fun, and the color payoff is obscene. Not […]

Review : C Shock part deux

I couldn’t help it, I had to go back for a second look.
I bought more stuff. Naturally.
Overrich lipstick is gorgeous, oh my goodness. And with Lil Sizzler lip gelee over it? I almost died. I asked the MA for those, paid, and walked to my car. Once inside, I pull out my goodies to put […]

Review: C Shock (MAC)

I walked into MAC this morning wanting every single item from this collection. I left 75 dollars poorer and still wanting the things I didn’t get.
It’s that good.
Eyeshadow: The pigmentation of all the shadows was great - they’re bright in the pot and just as bright on. Even without a base, they’re all amazing. I […]

Review: Personal Stylist (Lancome)

So I was killing time in Sephora today and happened upon the Lancome section. I’ve been hearing, for quite some time, rave reviews about Colour Design eyeshadow in Personal Stylist. Thus, I decided to test it out. The second I swatched it on my hand, I knew that I needed it. Need. To the point of […]
