Maybelline Fall Fashion Week 2013 Limited Edition Eyeshadows

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Maybelline Fall Fashion Week Collection! I look forward to this every August. When I saw that Nouveau Cheap had posted this years collection on her blog I ran right away to my local bed bath and beyond and scooped up the eyeshadow quads. These quads are always my favorite part of the collection and this year is no exception. The colors are beautiful! I can't wait to play with these! Xoxo

Wet n Wild Pop Art Eyeshadow Trios (Limited Edition)

I saw these trios randomly at my Wegmans and I had to pick them up. I was able to find 5 out of the 6 trios. I love the Wet n Wild shadows so I think these will be great. The bright colors are so fun for summer and I will have a good time trying to incorporate these pops of color into my normal neutral eye looks! Xoxo

Marc Jacobs The Starlet Style Eye-Con

I headed straight to Sephora on August 9th to get my hands on the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line. I was very impressed with everything overall. I wanted to purchase a bunch of things but I chose this eye shadow palette first. I also bought a nail polish in fluorescent beige, which is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take an accurate picture of the polish so I am not able to post it but trust me, it's gorgeous.    Back to this palette, I am in love. The palette comes in a black pouch just like most high end brands. I like this pouch in particular because it snaps close and is very thick and durable. A sponge tip applicator is included, which I will keep strictly because it says Marc Jacobs on it  :). The palette itself is shiny and black and very chic. The colors are so creamy and they blend like a dream. This is just a homerun all around. I also have my eye on the rest of the palettes but I figured this palette would be the best to transition from summer into fall so that is why I picked this one up first. The golds and copper colors will be great for fall looks. i am in love with the whole line of products. I will be picking up more soon! Xoxo

A Couple New MAC Goodies

I'm not normally one to stop by the MAC counter often but I just happened to look one day and fell in love with two products. 

MAC Pressed Pigment in Damson

I think this is part of a new collection, I'm not sure which one though. When I swatched this I immediately knew I was buying it. It is a gorgeous purpely brown with gold shimmer. I bought the last one so I'm not sure how available it is but if you see this please pick it up. 

 

MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Glamour Era

This gem also caught my eye but I think this is permanent so it should be easier to get your hands on. This is a gorgeous rosy brown color. I will be wearing this baby out in fall. The Mineralize Rich line is a great formula of lipstick, very creamy and easy to wear. 

If you get your hands on these please let me know how you like to pair them and use them! Xoxo

Massive Haul!!

Okay, so I needed some major retail therapy this past weekend. Where did I go, might you ask? Sephora and Nordstrom and Ulta OH MY! Here's what I bought: 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Catwalk Palette $29 at Ulta.

This palette is absolutely gorgeous for fall. The shadows are creamy and pigmented. I am very impressed with the quality of this palette and for $29 I just couldn't pass it up! Cannot wait to do some fall looks with this. 

Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon Set $35 at Ulta. 

I have been curios about these since seeing rave reviews on these when they were included in one of the monthly beauty boxes (ipsy maybe?). They were around $20 for one so when I saw this set for $25 I had to jump on it. These colors are pigmented and last a good four hours on the lips before starting to fade which is pretty good. I am very happy with these. 

Buxom Full Bodied Lipgloss in Oh La La $19 at Sephora. 

I love this gloss! I am very impressed with Buxom lip products in general so I wanted to try this out and to no surprise it's great. A very glossy semi opaque light  baby pink. Very reminiscent of Nars Turkish Delight but without that horrible plastic smell. Love it! 

Buxom Big and Healthy Lip Polish in Lavender Cosmo $19 at Sephora.

This color caught my eye as I was perusing the display. Lavender Cosmo is a light pinky purple color. It makes you look tan and makes your teeth look white. What more can you ask for? The only difference I can tell between this gloss and the Full Bodied gloss is that this has the minty tingling feeling so if that bothers you than you might prefer the Full bodied glosses. I don't mind it though so I love this gloss!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks $22 at Sephora. 

I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE LIPSTICKS!! Oh Em Gee, they are fantastic! Creamy and pigmented, they feel like a dream on your lips. I bought four but have a feeling I will be adding a couple more to my stash in the near future :) 

YSL Rebel Nudes Glossy Stains $34 at Nordstrom. 

I wanted to check out the new glossy stains because I heard they are great. I've had a couple of the colors when they first came out but these ones have shimmer in them so I wanted to check these out and when I saw them I knew they were coming home with me. 

That was my damage for the day. There are a lot of fall products that I want to check out especially the launch of the Marc Jacobs Beauty line so you may be seeing more hauls from me soon. :) xoxo
