Dior Glow Expert lippie

I've had this lippie for about 2 months now and I'm almost out of it, so I guess that must mean I like it! LOL The color is really not a color at all-it's SUPER sheer. It's supposed to be a lip primer and polish in one. It has a nice texture to it and it's not goopy or sticky at all. With continued use (daily) it claims to "fill in the lines in your lips to make them plumper" they lied! lol It does claim to have hyaluronic microspheres in the gloss which draw intense moisture to your lips, but I not so sure it does? When I first went to use it I thought it was broken because the applicator brush rolled around on my lip when I put it on, but I checked the packaging and it's supposed to do that- it says it has a "revolutionary and exclusive spin-on applicator, which picks up just the right amount of product and then rolls it uniformly onto the lips, provides a delicate massage that enhances the benefits of the formula.
Overall I like the lipgloss, but probably wouldn't buy it again because I could find another one that was the same for less than it's 30 dollar price tag.

NARS Multiple Stick in Lamu

I LOVE NARS and have lots of products that they sell, but possibly this is one I should have left at the counter for $39 bucks? I want Orgasm to work on my skin tone so bad, but it's a bit too light for me. I even have Super Orgasm blush and the original Orgasm blush, but nothing-still too light! SOOO when I went to try the Multiple stick in Orgasm it was again too light. The sales girl tried this one me in LAMU & it was cute. I wanted to use it as a highlighter on top my cheek bones, but when I looked in the mirror in the car it was full of glittery flecks! Yes I could see them at the counter, but they were way more intense in the car, EKK! I kept it because I'm a sucker for NARS and figured I'd find some use for it. I've been using it on my lips on top lipgloss-it makes a nice topper and I use it as a highlighter when I go out at night.

NOTD (nail of the day)

$6.00 a bottle

This was the perfect Easter color polish! Eyeko makes such cute colors & they really are pigmented! There's not a whole lot of polish in the bottle, but def. enough to do at least 10 manicures with. It's such a true "lilac" NOT Barney purple. You can order from Eyeko online & I believe they ship from London. It's really inexpensive & they constantly have good deals or promos running. http://www.eyeko.com/eyeko-products-nails-c-21_27.html





Vintage Bobby Pins

$4.75 for a set of 2

I got these a few months ago from Etsy, they are so sweet. The seller on Etsy is very vintage. http://www.etsy.com/people/veryvintage?ref=ls_profile
She makes over 100 different bobby pins! The only issue I've had with these is that they don't really hold my super fine hair well by themselves. I have to use a reg. bobby pin in addition to the one I use here to hold my hair, but it blends in with my hair color, so no biggie.

Almay's Smarty Pants Powder! LOL

I was on the hunt for a new pressed powder that wasn't high end, so I went to my fav drugstore-CVS and came across Almay's Smart Shade Smart Balance Pressed Powder. I was drawn to it's funny looking dots =? The Almay brand isn't a brand that I would normally use or try, but lately they have really been on the cutting edge with their makeup technology, like their award winning smart shade makeup. This is bad, but I tend to think of them as a "old lady" makeup brand....ekkk! lol
The idea behind the powder is that it's supposed to "take the guess work out of finding the right powder shade." It has "Shade sensing pigments that deliver the perfect shade transformation"?? AND the "white swirls, contain microspheres to help keep your oily areas shine-free and dry areas softly hydrated" interesting, right?! What I also loved about the powder was that it comes with a sweet little brush to use NOT a pad/puff that actually spreads the oil. My concern was that I'm pretty dark right now from tanning & I didn't want to look too white or chalky. It comes in 2 shades. I obviously took the darker one. I LOVE it! It's a very transparent powder & the brush is really nice to use. I sweep a little under my eyes & over my cheeks & nose. I'm really liking this one alot =)  Def. takes off the shine!

Sephora Eyeliner 502 is a Perfect day eyeliner

I really wasn't looking for a eyeliner but I kinda stumbled into this one. It was only 5 bucks and really smooth. You can even use it as a cream shadow or primer for powder eyeshadow. The color is really nice too. Very appropriate for work. Not too flashy but just enough to show. It has a brown base with a hint of pewter. There isn't a name for the eyeliner it's number 502. Let me know what you think ladies =)
