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 […]

Swatches of a couple more things…

I wanted to show you the beauty of Rougette:

 
Love. Seriously, it looks so fab with my newly dark auburn-ish hair.
Also, Otherworldly paint pot is your bestest friend if you like bright colors or wear a lot of blue:

 
In completely unrelated news, I’ve totaled another car. I obviously fail at life. :-(

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. […]

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 […]
