The Couture Lollipop ♥

Honestly I never thought watching VH1's "You're Cut Off" would inspire me to google the blinged out lollipop. I am so in love with these cute gems and even appropriately made it my backround on here.


This bitch is in love with her lollipop. She made sure she packed it in her very limited space of a suitcase - she had to have it. I love the idea of this and I googled it. Seems as though this snobby brat isn't the only one who's into the lollipops.. they are even endorsed by Kim Kardashian, The PussyCat Dolls, Mel B, & Britney Spears. I don't know why I'm suddenly obsessed but I need these and I ordered a customizable 4 pack and extra lollipop refills. I know, I'm so cool.

that link will bring you to the celebrities that are obsessed. Are you? 

Hope this helps!
XOXO,
Katie

Tarte LipSurgence lip luster - Buff, Fever, Adored and Glisten Swatches & Review!

I am such a huge fan of Tarte. Ever since I saw the brand at Sephora and learned about ingredients and how bad most make up is for you (it's scary what we put on our faces!) I have been leaning towards Tarte for their amazing natural products backed by a youthful creator. I finally purchased the new lip lusters in Buff, Fever, Adored and Glisten and I am in LOVE. I am going to show you (and tell you!) why now. Check it out!


I am so sick of companies telling me the lip gloss is "moisturizing" and that the glitter in their formula isn't "gritty" because that is a bull faced LIE. I usually end up returning high end lip gloss (Chanel, Dior) because it is gritty and not good for you. Tarte has shown me that one product can be an amazing moisturizing balm, beautiful glittery gloss and a sheer but buildable lipstick. Did I mention I love these? Seriously, best product of 2011 so far. If you haven't purchased these, you can get a great deal on www.qvc.com. Otherwise www.sephora.com and www.tarte.com has them in stock, but hurry, I promise it wont be for long.

Adored is seriously beautiful. I love this color for it's pretty medium pink sparkly shine! The peppermint flavor is amazing as well, which is included in all of the LipSurgence products by Tarte.



Buff is such a creamy nude! The sparkles in this specific color seem very gold which really compliments your natural lip shape. This color is great for work, class, and just relaxing. I love it.



Glisten is such a pretty coral shimmer. I love this color for when I'm trying to go for a very natural look. The sparkles are also gold and it really makes your lips look healthy! This is one of my favorite colors and I suggest it for all skin tones.



Fever is seriously hot. This color is my absolute favorite! I am so picky when it comes to reds; I can never find one that doesn't make me look 10 years older or a circus clown. This color is so sheer, buildable and forgiving. The sparkles are red and they are SO gorgeous! This color is seriously the one I will repurchase forever. I really hope that you find the courage and try this.. you won't regret it!

All shades are full of beautiful shimmer and are extremely buildable to suit all of your lip needs.

These lip lusters are $24.00 a piece retail but qvc is currently running a promotion to enable you to try more for your money (not sure for how long.) I really hope you like these as much as I do.. honestly Tarte is an amazing company and this is an amazing product. Love it.

Hope this helps!

Nordstrom beauty haul (Chanel, MAC) SPRING 2011 goodies!

I have been waiting patiently for Chanel to do me a solid and release the Spring 2011 collection. My wishes came true this morning on Nordstrom.com (which ended up being on the phone because my credit card expires in 2019 and the website doesn't go that high? what? ugh annoying) but anyways I also got the highlight powder from the MAC Cham Pale collection. I seriously love this and swatchers have said that it is exactly a dupe of MAC By Candlelight powder, which I have been searching for but couldn't find. I was going to purchase Nars Albatross for highlighting powder but I love the Rose Ole color MAC just relased. I also checked out Chanel and got what I wanted! The model for 2011 is wearing the CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE EXTRAIT DE GLOSS in Genie, which I purchased. Also, she is wearing CHANEL LE VERNIS BLACK PEARL nail polish which is so Jack Sparrow! It is the "it" color of 2011 and almost sold out already! It's only 1.1.11! YIKES! So excited for my order <3

MAC Cham Pale Special Reserve Highlight Powder in Rose Ole; $28.






CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE EXTRAIT DE GLOSS in Genie; $32.


CHANEL LE VERNIS in BLACK PEARL; $32.



Love her make up! Can't wait to play with mine!

Hope this helps!

XOXO,
Katie
