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???

and the winners are...

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!

and for my fellow bloggers out there... if you post a link to this contest let me know... i will put another entry in for YOU!

attention! you NEED this mascara.

hiya dollfaces! so my mac has officially debuted the newest addition to their mascara lineup and it's called OPULASH! doesn't that just sound fabulous?! i feel priveledged because it's not supposed to hit counters until may 27th... but through a twist of fate and a nordstrom exclusive it is mine...

the word on the street, about this baby, is that it rivals dior show mascara... unfortunately, i can't justify spending $25+ on mascara so i wouldn't know, but when mac offers me an alternative i would be stupid to not take them up on it. naturally i HAD to have it!

here's what mac has to say about the product:

"Big, fat, full, bouffant lashes! Dramatic density and curl achieved with a giant brush! Fibers go in all directions for thick, rich, even application with no clumping. Long-wearing formula—up to 15 hours—quickly thickens lashes root to tip."

here is the beauty

the short is i LOVE this product! it is volumizing (as you will see in the following pics). it goes on thin, but is very buildable without looking clumpy! the pics below are with 1 (yes i said one) coat and a little curl with my shu uemora curler! the best part of this mascara is it does not flake!!! i find, with many of my mascaras, after 8 hours of wear i begin to find flakes on my cheeks and under my eyes. a definite deal breaker for me... but that is not the case with this gem. admittedly, i am a mascara person and i definitely think this is my new HG.
check out the pics and marvel at the difference between my naked lashes and my opulashes!!


amazing right?

i'm having a contest with a tube of opulash as the prize! read all about it HERE and don't forget to enter... either on this post or that one. good luck!

dollface of the day: RED ALERT

hiya dollfaces! this is a look i wore a couple of days ago which is really simple on the eyes and serious pop of color on the lips! this look isn't for the faint of heart... red lips demand to be noticed so wear them when you are feeling your flirtiest...

on eyes from the urban decay alice in wonderland book of shadows

drink me, eat me - all over the lid

mushroom - in the crease and blended out

buxom lashliner in suede

too faced lash injection mascara in black

the key to this look is the lips... on them i'm wearing

china glaze mania!

hiya dollfaces! so you know those days when the only thing that will make you happy is a new nail polish? well, that was me on thursday... so off to sally i went! the main reason i went was to find something alittle lighter than flyin' high... which i reviewed earlier and looks alittle something like this..

i found what i was looking for in this gem...

for audrey (my new favorite nail polish)

here are the two side by side...

for audrey is flyin' high's brother from another mother! i'm in LOVE with it... so ridiculously gorgeous and i cannot wait to have a pedicure with this color!! hello springtime!!! God bless china glaze and their buy 2 get 1 free offer so my arm was twisted to pick up two other colors...

this is something sweet... it's a lovely light pinkie... i love light pastel shades and this is just beautiful. i'm glad that it is opaque in two coats instead of the pink sheer colors i am used to that take forever to reach the desired shade. 5 stars for china glaze!

this is high hopes... i'm a bit leery of this as it seems very orange-alish on me. but i will wait until i'm more tan and give it another go. it may make a great pedicure shade as well... stay tuned!

soooo... tell me dollfaces... what are some new polish shades you are coveting at the moment??
