Hey Glossies, NARS and I are becoming BBFs (Best Beauty Friends). I have been very pleased with the products, especially the mid-tone and darker eye shadows and the nail polishes. So I decided to pick up NARS Balthazar e/s duo. From the first time I swatched it, I know that we were going to get […] Read more…

Black Violet
I am really enamored with Young Punk m/es to the point that I compare everything to it. So I noticed that the Black Violet side of NARS Brousse has tiny flecks of pinkish/purple glitter. I thought, “Wow, this color looks like it could be Young Punk’s distant relative.” I really got frustrated with this duo […] Read more…
Photo Realism is Love
My birthday wish list included the Photo Realism quad, and thankfully, I received this item as a gift. *Woop, Woop!!* I usually do not like pre-made quads because I usually only like one or two colors, but with this quad, I like them all!! The light green – Fresh Approach reminds of what Warm Chill […] Read more…
Perked Up
As summer winds down, I am still clinging to my the bright summery colors… So I finally played with the L’Oreal HiP Duo (Matte) in Perky. The colors are a mid-tone green (similar to MAC Wondergrass) and slate blue (maybe charcoal). You know the Matte and I do not get along as a lid color, […] Read more…
Making Mischief
More L’Oreal HiP Duos. One of the e/s I picked up at the Ulta BOGO Free sale (Still going on @ Ulta) was Mischief, a champagne gold shimmer and smokey grey/black matte. (There seems to be debate on the dark color). I find this duo to be quite blendable and pigmented. The champagne gold has […] Read more…
Sassy and Showy
Recently, a family friend asked for drugstore brand eye shadow recommendations. She wanted to a teal or turquoise look for a wedding she will be attending in mid-summer. I instructed her to check out the L’Oreal HiP Duos in Sassy and Showy. I love the teal shimmery side of Showy and the greyish-taupe side of […] Read more…
FACE Off
I was introduced to the cosmetic brand, FACE atelier via Specktra.net. Some of the members loved the products, especially the foundations. I was re-introduced to this brand at The Makeup Show in Los Angeles. The Pro-Team was quite helpful. FYI: FACE atelier is the official makeup sponsor of Madonna’s Confessions Tour. I was matched up […] Read more…
Lorac Looks and the Pink Python Palette Giveaway
I love Lorac’s eye shadows. I had heard about the brand (about how wonderful it is), but I never bothered to check out the products until I saw the swatches on Raquel13 Shade Comparison Project. After seeing the swatches, I purchased eye shadows from Beauty.com and I was quite pleased. The shadows are soft and […] Read more…
Queen of the Night
One of my favorite beauty icons is Queen Latifah. She carries herself very well and always looks glam when she is at industry events. Her makeup is always flawless! She has come along way from her rapping days. There was not too much about those looks that I admired. I started to really like her […] Read more…
Blonde Ambition
No, I am not going blonde, but I do Love the Blonde MSF from the Blonde Brunette and Redhead collection from MAC. I know, I know this collection came out in in 1876 LOL, but I was not a huge fan because the collection looked totally dupable. MSFs and I have a love affair that […] Read more…
