Hi!
I hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Unfortunately I got the flu so I've been sick in bed these past few days. I managed to pull myself together to bring my daughter to another birthday party for a family friend on Saturday. I tried uploading this post yesterday but I couldn't figure out how to upload photos from my phone (so simple yet so difficult)....
Here is my MOTD!
Because I'm sick, I decided to throw on some red lipstick to make myself feel better! I don't wear red lips all that often because I really have to be in the mood for it. However, since the release of MAC's Retro Matte collection, I thought I should get some good use out of all the bold lipsticks I decided to hoard buy! (See what I bought from the collection here)
If you're interested in seeing more pictures of my MOTD as well as a list of products used on my face, then keep reading!
Hello again!
I have been meaning to upload this post for a while now! I recently went to Sephora and picked up a couple of items that I have been lusting over...
The first item is something that I have been interested in since I saw photos of it on Instagram! It is the Too Faced Pretty Rebel Palette ($54 CDN for 15 grams)
Too Faced Cosmetics launched this palette with their Pretty Rebel Collection for Fall 2013 near the end of August, and I have been wanting to purchase it since! I have been holding off because I didn't want to spend the $54.00 CDN for a colourful palette that I may not get much use out of (I am a neutral eyeshadow girl at heart). However, I had a change of heart the moment that I swatched it in store!
The packaging is without a doubt gorgeous, but the eyeshadows themselves are SO incredibly pigmented and buttery! I couldn't resist! If you haven't got the chance to swatch this palette in store, I urge you to do so immediately! Also keep in mind that this palette is limited edition, so if you're interested in it, I would get it while it lasts.
The palette comes with a total of 10 full sized eyeshadows (each shadow contains 1.5 grams of product) which Too Faced describes as "10 after-hours approved (and all new) shadows in the deepest jewel tones, the most badass metallics and one scene-stealing pink" I had trouble photographing the swatches of this product, but be sure to check out the always amazing Temptalia for additional photos, swatches, and possible dupes!
Hi!
I stopped by MAC the other day to check out the new MAC Pro Longwear Collection for Fall 2013, which includes Pro Longwear foundations and concealers in new shade additions, as well as Pro Longwear Paint Pots and Eyeliners that I believe will be permanent! *I use MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer on a daily basis (it is my favourite under-eye concealer of ALL time, it is amazing and I have repurchased it over and over again) I wear shade NW15 FYI...
MAC released 12 Pro Longwear Paint Pots in total, 5 of which are brand new shades! I was most excited about these because I own a few (and LOVE) them as eyeshadow bases (that can also be used as stand-alone cream eyeshadows) According to the MAC website,
"Pro Longwear Paint Pots deliver highly dimensional colour with a luxurious finish while Pro Longwear Eye Liner defines eyes with a dense water-resistant formula that glides on comfortably and stays for 12 hours, in seven new shades from eggplant to brilliant sheer gold"
Below are a list of all 12 shades (with descriptions), taken from Temptalia
