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?

Swatch & Review: Smashbox Wondervision Eye Set in Sparks

When i saw this set at Sephora i fell in love. For $32.00 this set includes a eyeshadow palette with six stunning colors, a full sized Full Exposure mascara in black, and a full sized Limitless eyeliner in Onyx. The eyeshadow palette is an absolutely gorgeous set of peachy golden and bronze shades that will be perfect year round. I can see creating a beautiful holiday golden eye with this set as well as using the bronzey shades in the summer. The liner is also great, a very dark black color that glides on the eye with ease and makes the shadows pop. I haven't tried the mascara yet but I have heard good things so as soon as I finish some of the mascaras in my current rotation I will try it. Also included in the set are three cards for inspiration creating looks with this set.
