Essie: Wicked.

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP

I swung by my local Sephora the other day just to look ;) and to my surprise I left with a few things.

Makeup Forever Artist Shadow Trio $44.00

L to R: I804: Golden Pink  ME910: Electric Magents  ME912: Orchid

I'm not necessarily super impressed with the formula of these shadows but it was the colors that sucked me in. These three shadows are unlike anything I have in my collection. I had to have them.

Nars Audacious Liipstick: Raquel  $32.00

I've been wanting to try one of these lipsticks for a while so I picked a neutral everyday color so that I could get a lot of use out of it. I've only worn it once but so far I'm impressed with the formulation. 

Smashbox Be Legendary Long Wear Lip Lacquer: Lilac $24.00

I've eyed these up for months now but I could never decide on a shade but today I saw this beautiful pinky purple color and fell in love. The formulation of this gloss is really great. It feels comfortable on the lips and the pigmentation is amazing. I can totally see me picking up some more colors in the spring/summer because they have some beautiful bright colors. 

Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you think.

CCO HAUL

I found some gems at my CCO the other day. 

Smashbox Rose Gold Set: $27.00

Come on, could I resist something rose gold? I've been hearing good things about the Fusion Softlights so when I saw this set for $27.00 i grabbed it. Everything in this set is great quality. Love it!

MAC One To Watch Pro Longwear Eyeshadow: $14.50

This was an impulse purchase. It was tab the register in a basket with other things that there was only one left of and I grabbed it because I've heard good things about it so I figured I'd try it out. It feels very creamy and the color is absolutely beautiful so I 'm happy with the purchase for now. 

Smashbox Suntan Matte Bronzer: $21.00

Again, Ive heard a lot about this bronzer and I figured for 20 bucks I'd try it out. It feels very creamy upon swatting. I'm not sure that this is too different from the bronzers I already have but I will test it out.

MAC Lightscapade Mineralize Skin Finish: $21.00

This is one of the most hyped about MSFs from Mac ever and it was the last one left so in my cart it went. This is different from most of the highlighters I have in my collection because its very cool toned and almost yellow. I have mostly beige and pink highlighters so I'm happy to try this out.

Have you found any gems at your local CCO lately?

DRUGSTORE GOODIES

I've been searching for the new Milani Matte lipsticks and blushes for a while and finally found them at my local Walgreens the other day. Milani is one of my favorite brands so I was excited to see some new  products from them, especially if they're matte.

First up are the Matte Lipsticks. There were 8 to choose from but I just grabbed three for now. These lipsticks are creamy and feel amazing on the lips compared to other matte formulas that I've tried in the past.

I also grabbed two of the new Matte Blushes as well. There were three in the display but i only purchased two. These have such great pigmentation to them and they blend like a dream. They are a tad on the powdery side but nothing that can't be fixed. I think these are one of the better formulas of blush at the drugstore and I hope they come out with more colors in the future.

Have you picked up any of these products?

REBEL BLOOM

 When I saw that the new Maybelline Spring 2015 Collection was released and people were finding them at Harmons I ran to mine right away and was lucky enough to find the whole collection. 

There is everything including a new foundation, powder, primer concealer, nail polish and color elixirs but I grabbed the lipsticks first. The ColorSensational Rebel Bloom collection is without a doubt the prettiest collection of drugstore lipsticks out there. There are 8 in this collection but i picked up 6. The two i didn't get were a pinky red and a darker violet but I will probably end up getting those eventually.  For $5.49 I have to have them all.

700 Barely Bloomed

705 Blushing Bud

710 Petal Pink

715 Hibiscus Pop

720 Power Peony

725 Lilac Flash

740 Coral Burst

745 Peach Poppy

As you can see these colors are right on trend for the springtime. 

I cannot get over these. I am obsessed. You need these.

CHEEKY SWEET SPOT

Okay guys, so I went a little crazy at the Sephora VIB sale. I also picked up the Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Box o' Blushes. I love the Benefit boxed blushes but currently I only own Rockateur so i thought this was the perfect little set to build back my collection. 

This set includes: Dandelion, Bella Bamba, Sugarbomb, Hoola, Coralista and Rockateur blushes, as well as the Watts Up! highlighter. The quality of these powders are the same as if you purchased them individually which is really nice because I hate when you purchase a holiday set and the quality is not on point. 

I think this set is one of the best bangs for your buck this holiday season. Unfortunately I cannot find this product online but if you go to your local Sephora or Ulta I'm sure you can find it. I think this set is in the $30 range which is fabulous for the amount of product that you get.
