Deborah Lippmann - Across the Universe

Deborah Lippmann has taken my breath away once again with Across the Universe ! I am in love with this glitter nail polish, it is going to be a staple for me this fall, as I prefer my blues in the fall and winter.

Adventures in Lush - Episode 2: The Olive Branch Shower Gel

Let me just start off by saying "WOW".

The Olive Branch Shower Gel

I recently started using my mini The Olive Branch Shower Gel from Lush Cosmetics. At first I really didn't have too many expectations from this tiny little bottle of shower gel, but that was before I opened it up and took a whiff!!

Maybelline Color Show Limited Edition Vintage Leather Nail Polish Review & Swatches !

I know I am a little late on this one, but better late than never! Say 'Hello!' to some of the Limited Edition Color Show Vintage Leather nail polishes!! These are new for Fall 2013, and have just popped up in the Target by me here in NY, and have been in drugstores for a few weeks now. I was really drawn to these for the matte finish, the slightly weathered look, and of course for those random little flakies in the bottle. I do have to say, that I was really hoping for the flakies to POP a bit more, but I was a tad disappointed to find that in the majority of the colors that I own, the flakies are minimal.

Classic Camel,  Mod Moss,  Plush Plum,  Antique Teal,  Lasting Lilac,  Red Relic,  High Style Sienna

$6 Urban Decay 24-7 Glide-On Eye Pencils !!

When I saw that Urban Decay Eye Liners were on sale at Sephora and the Urban Decay website for $6, compared to $19, I jumped all over it!! After many years of testing out different eye liner pencils, I have found that Urban Decay Eye Liner Pencils rank in my top 5.

Top -> Bottom: Lucky, Crash, Deviant, El Dorado, 1999, Lust, Binge, Gunmetal, Graffiti

The formula of these eye liners are soft and deliver beautiful pigment without the tugging and dragging that comes with other eye liner pencils that I have used in the past. I like having an eye liner that I don't need to press too hard when applying to get some color to transfer. In addition, Urban Decay has a beautiful array of colors in their line, there is something for everyone!

Deborah Lippmann: Candy Shop

I think I've died and gone to glitter heaven. 

Deborah Lippmann - Candy Shop

I recently was informed that Sephora started carrying Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish (Hitting stores in September 2013). Now, I may not have mentioned this before, but I am a huge fan of glitter polish, but I usually have very high expectations for them and therefore most of the time they fall flat for me for various reasons; they chip off very fast, they flake off, the glitter doesn't lay nicely on the nail, the glitter does not layer well, the list can go on and on. But, I decided to give Deborah Lippmann's glitter polishes a shot.

Baby Lips Electro ! Pink Shock, Oh! Orange!, Berry Bomb, & Strike A Rose

Baby Lips Electro

Hey everybody!! So if you read my previous post you know that I picked up 4 of the 6 new Maybelline Baby Lips Electro !! The other 2 colors I did not pick up were a neon yellow, and a neon green. I have to admit, when I saw this display I was really excited, because I had no idea that there was a new Limited Edition Baby Lips coming, and I am a pretty big fan of the Baby Lips line in general.

Baby Lips Electro L-R: Pink Shock, Oh Orange, Berry Bomb, Strike A Rose

The 4 colors I picked up where Pink Shock, Oh! Orange!, Berry Bomb, and Strike A Rose.  This line comes packaged in the same familiar tube as the original baby lips, but the only difference is the the tube itself is black, which really makes those neon colors in the tube really POP! Also, I should mention that these, like the other limited edition colors, do not have SPF 20 in them, which was a factor that I really liked about the original Baby Lips. I'm sure Maybelline had their reasons, but still, WHY?

No Flash - 1 layer (L-R: Same as Above)

Flash - 1 layer (L-R: Same as Above)

No Flash - 2 layers (L-R: Same as Above)

New! Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots: Pretty in Polka

Hi everybody! So I wanted to come on here really quick and let you guys know that I have finally got my hands on those ever illusive Maybelline ColorShow Polka Dots polishes! Hooray! After weeks of waiting and searching every Colorshow display I came across, I finally got the 2 colors I have been eyeing: Pretty in Polka & Clearly Spotted. Ironically, they popped up when I was walking around aimlessly in my local RiteAid and I literally stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the display and just got a rush of excitement, especially when on the same trip I spotted the New Maybelline Electro Babylips display, untouched !!! (review coming soon).
