I love this eyeshadow trio for fall. Three beautiful colors that blend beautifully. They are not the longest lasting shadows but they do the job. For $2.99 I'm happy.

Maybelline Color Elixir Liquid Lip Balms

These lip colors are the newest offering from Maybelline and I have to say they've hit it out of the park again. These are fabulous. I had to refrain myself from buying the whole collection so I ended up with five. These glosses are creamy, non sticky, and pigmented. There are 20 colors in the collection ranging from dark vampy purples to lavenders to pinks, corals, and nudes. The applicator is tear drop shaped, similar to the ysl glossy stain and loreal caresse applicator. These do not remind of those though because they do not dry down or stain at all. They feel creamy throughout the wear and fade very evenly without staining. I am very happy with these and I will try to stop myself from going back and buying more.

Loreal La Laque Lip Colors

Sweet Baby Jesus these things are potent! I finally saw the display at my local Harmons and nearly jumped for joy. I went to apply one as soon as I got into the car and was shocked how glossy and pigmented these colors are. Wow! These are no joke. They feel really creamy on the lips and they last all day long even throughout eating and drinking. The two colors I purchased are 413 Lacque-onic and 414 I Lacque You A Lot. 413 Lacque-onic is a creamy blue based Classic Hollywood red and 414 I Lacque You A Lot is a orange based creamy red. The other colors looked great as well but these were the two I thought I'd get the most wear out of as I love me some red lips in the fall/winter. These are fabulous and I'm glad I was able to pick them up. If you see these grab them while you can. Availability: $6.99 at Harmons/Drugstores

Swatch & Review: MAC Stormy Pink Prolongwear Paint Pot

I've had my eye on this color since the Prolongwear Collection launched. Stormy Pink is a matte murky purpely-pink color that is absolutely stunning on the eyes. I love using this color as a base under many different shadows because the Prolongwear formula makes the eye look last all day. I love to apply this by buffing a thin layer onto my bare lids to create a smokey base and then blend any eye shadow on top. The smokeyness of this color adds depth to any color I place on top and just makes it looks a little bit more pulled together. Overall, I think this is a great base and I would be interested in looking into other colors from this range. Let me know what you think.
