NEW MAC GOODIES

I wandered into MAC the other day on a whim and walked out with a few new lippies, what else is new? I first had my eye on the new lipsticks that were rereleased. I first grabbed Relentlessly Red. Now, I am not usually one for red lip colors on me but I've seen a few girls sporting this color and I think it has enough pink in it to be wearable. I love the formulation of MAC's Matte lip colors so I grabbed this beaut. 

Next up is Pink Pigeon. Now I've seen this raved about for years but this color was limited edition, so when I heard that Pink Pigeon was made permanent I was all on it. Pink Pigeon is a bright, almost neon, hot pink also with that matte formula that I love. This color looks amazing on the lips and also makes your teeth look white. I love this lipstick as well. 

Now that was all that I had my eye on put when I walked past the new Playland collection of course I checked it out and ended up picking up a couple lip glasses. 

Carousel is a bright clean blue based pink that gives your face a brightness and glow to your face. 

Last but not least is Lots of Laughs. This peachy coral is amazing and will look great with a tan. 

I am very excited about these lip colors and I will be wearing these all spring and summer long.

ULTA HAUL

I walked into Ulta the other day just thinking that I was going to swatch the new Lorac summer palette and I walked out with the palette…and a few other things.

Spring was in the air. There were so many new products that were bright and right on for the season. Let's get into it. 

 Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow: 03 frosted apple

This pinky rose-gold color is perfect. There is gold shimmer throughout and when applied to the eye it gives such a beautiful sparkle that makes your eyes pop. For $2.99 I couldn't resist. 

Zoya Nail Polish: Monet

I was already stocked up and waiting in line to checkout when I saw a display of Zoya polishes. This color immediately caught my eye. The way this color shines in the sunlight is absolutely stunning. I have tried this polish on top of pink, nude, and mint colors and it looks great on each. 

Nails Inc Polish: Regents Place

I've been on the lookout for a periwinkle color so when I saw it I knew this would be mine. The formulation of this polish is very think but covers well and lasted about four days on me before starting to chip.

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick: Melted Coral

I have been so interested in these lip colors since they have been released but never saw one in person. When I saw this color and swatched it on my hand I knew it was love and I scooped one up. This formula lasts all day on the lips with a subtle sheen. These colors are not drying at all. 

And finally, the reason I made the trip to Ulta that day. 

Lorac AfterGLO palette for summer 2014

These shadows are right on point for spring/summer and the formulation is not bad either. Now these are not the best shadows I've ever used, and they are a far cry from the pro palette quality, but overall I think they are worth a shot. I've created a few different looks so far with this and I am very happy.

I definitely think $24.00 is a great price for this palette.

Have you tried any of these products?

IMATS NYC HAUL PART TWO: LIMECRIME, PRESTIGE, SIGMA

So the two booths that I was most excited to check out at IMATS were Limecrime and Sigma. I guess everyone else was also because I waited an hour for Limecrime and almost two hours for Sigma but it was worth the wait and I made a few friends along the way so I didn't really seem like that long overall. 

First up is Limecrime; the products I was most excited to pick up were their lipsticks. I already have babette and coquette but I wanted to check out some of their brighter colors for spring. When I got up to the testers I basically picked up every color that appealed to me…what can I say? I went a little crazy. These lipsticks are absolutely beautiful. Creamy, pigmented and very comfortable on the lips. Let's just say I'm obsessed.

I also have had my eye on this bright lime green liquid liner so I grabbed that as well during my makeup rampage. This color is BAM in your face but I think pairing this with a neutral eye and onto of black eye liner will help tone it down.

Next up was Sigma aka the longest line I've ever waited in my life. I didn't care though I was dead set on purchasing a few things. I picked up a few brushes but when I saw their makeup on display I picked up these gems as well. 

 I've heard a bunch of people talking about how unique this color is so I wanted to pick it up while it was right in front of me. Hint is really an unique color; a purpley taupe nude is how I would describe it but it looks beautiful on the lips and I think this will look awesome as a nude gloss when you have a tan. 

I also have been curious about the eyeshadow base in Awake. This light baby pink color is beautiful for brightening any color and really making your eyes look awake.  

After leaving IMATS we walked around the city while trying to make our way back to the train station and I ran into a two floor Duane Reade so you know I was in there like swimwear. They had every drugstore brand and even some higher end skincare brands. The only thing that struck my fancy was one of these new Prestige eyeshadows. This metallic pink color is beautiful and the consistency is so cool. It's almost cream like, very interesting.

So that's it for my NYC IMATS haulage. I went overboard, I know but it;s only once a year so I did it up.
