Dior Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond Review!


I am SO into Dior beauty. Ever since I saw the display at my Sephora store a couple years ago I haven't been able to stop indulging! The colors are always beautiful and the pigments are strong while blending seamlessly ALWAYS. This product is seriously perfect and is the best highlighter I've ever owned in my life. This beautiful powder is extremely shimmery and finely milled. On lighter skintones this almost acts as a highlight/bronzer but with medium tones it is a beautiful highlight.. such a wonderful year round product. I use it along with my Dior Bronze Harmonie de Blush in Coral Riviera and it's my favorite look EVER! At $44 this product is pricey but worth it. I promise it's way better than any other highlight I've at least tried.

SEPHORA by OPI : Seeing Pink Elephants Swatch & Review!

SEPHORA by OPI polishes are affordable, chip resistant and very trendy. I am so into the new colors (Check out my review for It's Hippo To Be Square) and Seeing Pink Elephants is awesome! I am always searching for a pretty pink polish and Nars Schiap was the closest I could get.. until this! This is my new favorite polish ever. This polish/colour wears extremely well and is very bright and gorgeous. I almost forgot, do you know what "Seeing Pink Elephants" means? "Seeing Pink Elephants is a euphemism for a drunken hallucination, caused by alcoholic hallucinosis or delirium tremens." Silly name but I'll take it. I painted my toes with this polish! Love it tons.

SEPHORA by OPI : It's Hippo To Be Square Swatch & Review

SEPHORA by OPI is such a consistently good line of nail polish/colour. I am always finding myself buying colors (some at random) because of the affordable price of these polishes. When I was notified that this color was now available I had to have this color! It reminds me of OPI's Mod About You! I love it A LOT. It's currently on my nails right now! This color is available on www.sephora.com for $9.50!

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Electric is E L E C T R I F Y I N G! Swatches & Review

When it comes to eye makeup, do you stay neutral? I usually do if I even wear eye makeup - usually I'll just wear mascara (Benefit They're Real is my new fave) but lately something has come over me. I'm dying for some color! I have green eyes and usually us green eyed folk stay away from blue eyeliner but who makes the rules? I think this color is beautiful on all eye colors, it is just so gorgeous! I highly suggest this color pencil regardless of eye color! Check it out..


(I have no makeup on except mascara and eyeliner, excuse the grossness!)


IT'S ELECTRIC!

Let's talk about how long it lasts. I had a day of running errands in the sun yesturday and this held up without question. I then forgot to take it off before I took a shower (oops!) and washing my face and that STILL didn't budge this baby.. I had to use special eye makeup remover after the shower which is absolutely great. The color of/in the pencil is so pigmented and I can't believe how creamy and smooth it applies to my lashline, absolutely NO tugging. I am partial to MUFE Aqua Eyes but these are almost better in my opinion. My other favorite color of this pencil is called 'BAKED' and it's the best! I keep saying it but www.urbandecay.com is having a friends and family sale and it's 25% OFF with code FFSUMMER11. Go get these pencils and let me know what else you beauties grab! Do you think this blue would be your favorite too?

YSL Rouge Pur Couture #27 Review & Swatches

Beauties, how long have you been searching for the perfect pink? I've been on the hunt for quite some time and this product is going in the HOLY GRAIL category for it's design, color, pigmentation and wear. Most pinks turn darker on my pigmented lips, however YSL is known for their true pigmentation. I loved the original colors released about a year ago (I bought & reviewed #17 Le Orange) and these new "summer" colors are literally mindblowing! I literally can't get enough! $30 is quite a steep price for lipstick, however this specific color and line is definitely worth it. Check it out!

(metal case attracts fingerprints! hey, there's mine!)





This color is ridiculously perfect. The scent alone of this lipstick would have you begging for more (I talk it up in my post on pur couture #17!) and the packaging is SO luxe. With my previous experience with the Rouge Pur Couture line I have used a lip brush when applying to avoid overkill and product waste.. however this color is so stunning and wearable (surprisingly!) it allows for tube to lip greatness! I am so thrilled with this purchase and I can't seem to use much of anything else since I got it. Light skinned and dark skinned beauties will both look fabulous in this color, however I think it is best suited for light/medium complexions. Did I mention how long this lasts? I apply once in the morning and even after eating and drinking it is still looking great! Even if you wipe this lipstick off it will leave behind a light pink stain. Basically there is nothing wrong with this lipstick and you need it, now! :)

Tarte for TrueBlood Cheek Stain and Lipsurgence Swatches & Review!

Let me start by saying I'm not a huge TrueBlood fan. A lot of my friends go completely crazy over how sexy everyone is on that show and at a local bar in Boston last year they met the whole crew (I passed on that which shows my true feelings!) That being said, I really really LOVE the colors in this limited edition line. While I do not own the palette, I did get a chance to pick up the cheek stain and the lipsurgence. I am in absolute love with the cheek stain! I had never used a cheek stain before (from Tarte) and needless to say I am very, very impressed! As far as the lip product goes, I own over 20 lipsurgence products and it was very high quality just like the others and the color is perfect. Check it out!




*drooooooool* Wait, what? Sorry, I was caught up in the pictures of the lipsurgence lip tint! Tarte describes this color as an iridescent red shade and I agree. Some bloggers are calling it pink, but do you see pink in the swatch? I don't. This lip product is wonderfully moisturizing and beautiful on.. my only gripe is that it is not terribly long lasting (I don't mind reapplying though because it tastes and smells like mint!) This lip product perfectly compliments the gorgeous cheek stain which is unbelievable.

First off, this cheek stain smells like tropical fruits. I can't even handle how delicious it smells and my face smells like it when I apply! The stain looks like a bright red gold sparkle party in the tube but it applies a beautiful iridescent reddish pink shade. I apply the cheek stain directly from the tube which does result in some larger glitter on my face and I like it that way! Who doesn't want glitter on their face? Also this cheek stain lasts for an incredible amount of time on my face! I applied it at 7am one morning and it was still just as gorgeous at 10pm! My skin is light/medium right now and it looks good on my darker friends as well. Definitely worth the investment.



The cheek stain applied directly from tube to arm without blending to show color intensity!

Summer playlist and where I've been, future posts to follow ASAP

Hello beauties! I had a really nice but calm 4th of July, how was yours? I haven't been blogging about my recent purchases because I've been so caught up in the weather! The summer sun feels like warm hands hugging me and I literally can't bring myself to sit online for tooo long. So far my summer has consisted of long drives, ice cream cones, beach bummin and MAJOR hauling! I have amazing things to show you once my camera finishes charging! Some things I am totally obsessed with would be the Tarte for True Blood cheek stain (most natural beautiful color ever), YSL Rouge Pur Couture in #27 (Best summer color besides Nars Carthage which I previously reviewed), Hourglass Cosmetics Illume set in Bronze Light (I won this and I can't even handle how PERFECT it is) and I can't stop playing with my new Dior Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond. Dior has been blowing my mind lately! Urban Decay is having a 25% off sale right now by the way (enter code FFSUMMER11.) I, of course, did NOT miss out on that sale... I purchased the "Lit" 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil and the Lush Lash System! What did you purchase? Are you on a spending freeze until Fall collections? I wanted to share with you all my favorite summer songs. I am really into music (it's my other passion besides blogging!) so I thought I would help you hang ten in style (or just look hot, whatever.)
