THE lipstick for spring!

okay dollfaces! so i have finally purchased my new HG lipstick. it is an absolutely gorgeous coral from MAC called Ever Hip. i missed it when it was released with the liberty of london collection last year, but i would be d*mned if i was going to miss it when it was re-released with the fashion flower collection this year! here it is...

omg! it's so beautiful!! it's a cremesheen which means it doesn't last long on the lips. reapplication is necessary, but so worth it! i will be doing a video detailing how i wear this to intensify the color so stay tuned. it is absolutely THE color for spring!!

here it is sheered out...

what do you think of the color? have you picked it up yet? i may or may not have picked up an extra for a giveaway on my youtube channel... please subscribe!

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!!

lookie what the MAC dragged in..

hiya dollfaces! so i did a bit of haulin' at the mac counter (shocking but true) here are the goods:

i got the mac brush cleanser which i am really please with. it is fantastic for everyday cleanup... especially after using dark colors! i deep clean once a week with baby shampoo and my brushes are very satisfied.

i also picked up a bottle of fix+ which i can't stop using. i use it to set my makeup and i'll spray it on a brush, swipe it in some shadow and BAM! insta-eyeliner!

as you probably know i also picked up the brand new mascara OPULASH and am completely in love with it!!! i hope you have entered my giveaway!!

now onto the makeup-makeup...

this is the beautiful bright fuscia-ish pink called speak louder. it is a cremesheen formula and is gorgeous. i wasn't particularly in the mood for a bright pink lipstick, but my mac mua/good friend pointed it out to me as her pick of the day and i was sold! i look forward to wearing this when i'm tan!!

next up i got two things from the art supplies collection. first up... which has been all the rage, apparently, on youtube and blogs is a greasepaint stick in dirty!

this is my first foray into the greasepaint sticks and i'm in love! it is a wonderful taupey gray and it works extremely well as a base, liner, outer corner and crease color. it is water resistant and is a limited edition... go out and buy at least one... the colors are fantastic!! me thinks i may get two more this week! p.s. you can pull the end off that shows the color of the stick and you will find a sharpener there!! yay!

and last, but not least...
the pearlglide liners are amazing! the one that stuck out to me most was almost noir... it is a magnificent bordeaux color with gold shimmer. so incredibly beautiful and perfect to give your everyday look a little something extra.

p.s. click here to watch a look with dirty and almost noir that's quick and easy!
