revlon colorstay 16 hour eyeshadow palette in 545 attitude review, swatches

Ah, Revlon. How I love you and gift time. When else can I get two things and then nab a handful of full sized products for nothing? If it wasn't for the gift, I wouldnt have been able to get this nifty little eyeshadow palette. HOLLA~

Attitude is a set of neutrals. A light pinky base matte, softly shimmering mushroom, matte reddened mocha and deep purple tinged matte brown.

illamasqua chased blush review, swatches

I'm on a blogging roll lately, look at me cranking out these posts like a machine! Probably because I'm glad to finally have a weekend... That and I need somebody/something to talk to while I'm stuck at home because it gets all freezing every time I try to leave wtf. That being said, I'm slowly burning through and editing all the Illamasqua photos I have...

Chased is a vibrantly pigmented medium cool pink. It looks a little darker in the photo above.

vlog update may 8 2012

Just a quick vlog to let you know what's going on so far and a little Youtube update. Jump for camwhorey pictures haha!

guerlain terracotta vernis in riviera review, swatches

One, two, three coats

You all know I'm a sucker for a good nail polish. Everyone knows. When Guerlain launched 2 nail lacquers with the Emilio Pucci collection, I had the girls immediately put one of the six Rivieras on hold for me (that's right... we only received six in the first shipment).

Though it's super gorgeous in colour, a deep, rich shimmering warm blue, and almost infallible in ease of application and fast drying time to boot, this has one big downfall.
The lasting power or lack thereof. Pictured above is one full day of wear on my non-dominant hand, no topcoat and you can already see chips (the nick on my index finger) and noticeable tipwear. On my right hand, where I'd applied two coats for testing (also no topcoat) there were huge chips and peels. Half my index finger was left bare!!! :(

Get it if you love the colour, have the money, and have nothing to do all day except sit around and look fabulous with 3 layers of topcoat. Otherwise, it's not worth the luxury price tag.

illamasqua intense lipgloss in fierce review, swatches

Ahhh! What happened to Blogger? I'm not a fan of the new interface... not at all... I can't find things as easily! :( Sad sad, but I guess I better get used to it.

In store for you today, Fierce. It's a medium violet- not too cool, not too warm, not too light, not too dark.
