What's in my purse?!

Today I just wasn't feeling the writing bug so I thought it would be really fun to film a "What's in my purse?" video!  You can find these all over YouTube and I think they're a lot of fun.  I always love seeing what people have in their purses.

Here are the products I mentioned that I've reviewed:

- Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Gloss in Captivating Coral
- MAC Fashion Nomad mattene
- L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Gloss in The Queen's Shine
- tarte Maracuja Lip Gloss in Heath
- L'Oreal Paris Infallible Le Gloss in Sparkle Frenzy

I hope you enjoyed my video!  Let me know what's always in your purse!

XOXO

Get gold and red holiday lips in three easy steps!

Red lips are big for the holidays but what's even bigger?  Red and gold lips!  Yes, gold sparkles on red lips are super awesome.

So today I wanted to show you a quick FOTD using three products:

Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in Perfect Red

MAC Mattene in Eden Rouge

L'Oreal Infallible Le Gloss in The Muse's Shine

Ok, let's get started!  Start with bare, clean lips.

Next, line your lips with the lipliner.

Next, use the mattene to fill in your lips.

Finally, add that super awesome gloss on top.

Voila!  Now you have a super awesome lip look to wear to all your holiday parties.

The great thing is you can pair sparkly red lips with almost any eye look:  black smokey, black cat-eye, shimmery gold, or nude matte.  I used a beautiful gold on the lid and a darkened gold in the crease (Urban Decay Half Baked and Urban Decay Smog).

Of course, this is a really subdued eye look but I would amp is up for night-time gatherings.

XOXO

Semi-matte red lips look classic with MAC Eden Rouge

So, after I fell head over heels in love with MAC Fashion Nomad I convinced myself that I needed Eden Rouge.  (It's limited edition!)  

This is part of the MAC StyleSeeker collection, which you can still find on MAC's website.  Unfortunately, it seems like most of the colors are sold out so you might want to check your local MAC counter.

Please forgive me for being a bad beauty blogger and forgetting to save my box!  I just tore into it and now I can't find the box anymore.  But I promise it looks just like the Fashion Nomad box! ;-)

MAC describes Eden Rouge as "bright, blue-red" which I think is a very fitting description.  This is a nice, true red.

I lined my lips with Too Faced Perfect Lips Lipliner in Perfect Red which I plan to review ASAP!

Gorgeous!  I love the beautiful, semi-matte finish.  I think it makes my lips look pouty and full.  Plus, red is SO classic.  I think a lot of reds end up looking cheap but this one is really great and looks elegant.  

I find that it has the same great wear that Fashion Nomad provides but does tend to slip around a wee bit more.  Lining lips is really essential for this one.

You need it!  Now if I can just find Camden Chic my life will be complete!  Lol!

XOXO

Discovering my EvRev lipglass after months of missing it!

Today is the first day of Fall and I couldn't be happier!  Something about the crisp weather, changing leaves, and cozy clothes make me love Fall more than any other season.  I decided to grab my Fall/Winter purses out of the closet and start giving them some love.  Of course, that involves cleaning out all the detritus from last season!

Yikes!  As you can see from the DayQuil, Zicam, and cough drops, I get sick in the colder months!  But more importantly, do you see the two beauty finds?

One of them is a Bare Minerals lipliner (which I'll review at a later date) and the other is MAC Evolution Revolution Lipglass ($14.50).

This was my first ever MAC purchase and I bought it because I'm so obsessed with Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog.  You see, Evolution Revolution is part of the Bloggers' Obsession collection that came out from MAC a while back.

MAC invited various beauty bloggers to create a custom product and the results were amazing.  EvRev (as it's affectionately called) is Karen's creation and I think it's gorgeous.  (My only complaint is that lipglasses are so sticky!)

You can read all about the inspiration and creation of EvRev at MBB here.

I'll let Karen describe the color:

"Like colors shifting in the light as it falls on a woman’s face at sunset, the colors of Evolution Revolution Lipglass are beautiful and complex — from some angles, pink; from others, peachy gold. And when the light hits them just right, we see brief flashes of purple, green and blue micro glitter."

YES!  It's so amazing!

This is a color that looks good on everyone.  You can wear it alone (like I'm doing in the pictures) or you can layer it over pretty much everything!

You should also check out Karen's "12 Ways to Wear MAC Evolution Revolution Lipglass" post!

Now, you can't buy these on MAC's website anymore but you can find some tubes on eBay.  I hate showing you things you can't have but this was just too pretty to pass up!

XOXO

I'm seeking bright orange lips with MAC StyleSeeker!

Have you seen any of the new MAC StyleSeeker collection?  I'm in love with the mattene lipsticks and lipglasses.  

  

I've only picked up one of the mattenes because I didn't know what the formula would be.  Now that I've tried this one, I'm so tempted to order two more colors!

I grabbed Fashion Nomad, which MAC describes as "bright red orange."  That is definitely a good description!

The other colors I'd like to have are Eden Rouge (bright blue-red) and Camden Chic (rich brick red).

Eek!  It's just too wonderful for words!  The mattene lipsticks are supposed to give you a semi-matte finish and be very hydrating.  

When I hear "matte" I immediately think drying; however, these glide on easily and stay moisturizing the entire wear-time.  Fashion Nomad lasts about four-five hours on me, which is remarkable!

These are $15 for 0.08 ounces, which is slightly smaller than a regular MAC lipstick (0.1 oz).  Plus, the mattenes are not part of the permanent collection, so you might want to snap them up now!
  

I seriously love this color and this formula.  I can't even begin to describe how great they are!  Long-lasting, moisturizing, colorful -- what more could you want?!

This gets my serious approval!  A+!  You can pick up one for yourself on MAC's website HERE.

XOXO
