rimmel makes me wanna pucker up

hiya dollfaces! i just wanted to take a second and sing the praises for a drugstore brand of lipsticks... they are the moisture renew lipcolors from rimmel. i am loving these right now! here are the five i have (complete with swatches):

what i love:
1. the price! these lipsticks run about $6.99 (and drugstores are always having buy one get one half off or 40% off deals)
2. the color selection! don't quote me on this, but there were at least 20 to choose from at my local cvs. it's great because you can try out different colors without breaking the bank! success!
3. the texture! they are creamy and easy to apply and do not feel like your wearing a heavy lipstick at all. ** a note here... mauve pink is the exception to this. it has glitter in it which makes it appear glossy on the lips, but which lingers once the lippie has worn off **
4. SPF! each lippie has an spf of 18. nice!
5. pigmentation! all of mine are rich and fully pigmented. yay!

what i don't love:
1. the wear! they are definitely not long lasting. i would say maybe an hour without touch ups.
2. the glitter! if mauve pink has glitter in it then i'm sure other colors do and i am not a fan of that at all.

all in all they are great products and fun to use. have you tried them?? and what are your favorite colors?? vintage pink is definitely the stand out for me! LOVE! and red alert is what you need for an in-your-face red lip!!

doll love: NAKED

hiya dollfaces! as promised here are my swatches of the NAKED palette by Urban Decay. i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! and really have used it pretty much every day since i got it... which was about a month ago. if you love neutral looks this is the palette to end all palettes. the colors are smooth, very pigmented and blendable. the majority of the colors have a sheen/shimmer to them... i personally love that because i feel it brings light to the eyes. my love for urban decay eye shadows continues to grow and flourish with this palette! it is amazing and i cannot say enough good things about it!

and now for the swatches... i have NW25 skin (for reference).

virgin - light whitish pink ** fantastic highlight color and great for inner corner too
sin - pink champagne shimmer **LOVE it!! brightens the whole eye
naked - lighter warm brown **excellent for blend out color!
sidecar - shimmery warm brown with gold glitter **kind of like a frosty naked

buck - mid-tone warm brown **another great color for blending out
half baked - gold shimmer **not my favorite, but a nice addition to the palette
smog - shimmery mid-toned warm brown **kind of like a frosty buck
darkhorse - not shimmery but has gold flecks ** lovely in the crease

toasted - gold and warm brown shimmer ** nice color to bring light to the eye
hustle - plum based brown **amazing crease color
creep - deep gray/black ** in the pan looks glittery, but doesn't show on skin
gunmetal - dark silver gray shimmer **fabulous smokey eye staple

have you gotten naked yet??

doll love: jordana eyeliners

doll love!!

hiya dollfaces!! if you are like me, you realize the importance of a well moisturized eye area... this helps to prevent lines and wrinkling... not to mention... it helps your concealer glide on better! i have been on a quest for a light, yet still moisturizing, eye cream for years! most of the time eye creams are too oily and cause my sensitive eyes mucho irritation. me thinks i've found a solution to this oily problem. yay!

this is the garnier nutritioniste skin renewal anti-fatigue eye cream and it is FABULOUS!!!

here is what garnier says:

"Boosts surface-cell regeneration to diminish dark circles and puffiness around the eye area."

this is a light cream that is ultra moisturizing. after i wash and moisturize my face, i take a small drop and apply to my undereye skin and lightly all over the lid. yes, it is one more step to add to your skin routine, but the eye area should not be overlooked (pun intended)! and my skin drinks it up!! it makes my eye area noticeably softer and line-free. i have been using this product for about a month and i LOVE it!! however, i cannot testify to the "diminishing of dark circles"... i think lots of sleep and drinking loads of water have more power in that arena!!

so dollfaces! your turn... what product are you loving right now???
