I am a blush whore.

I've been raping this particular blush like crrrazy..
I got it awhile ago but i never really used it up until now.

DUM DUM DUM..................... it's my NARS' blush!

(i know it's beat up.. it's been in my make up bag!)

1. i fricking love the name LOL
2. it's so pigmented
3. it gives the nicest pink glow with a subtle gold sheen
4. it has a mirror! lol always a plus..





it's gorgeous on. yup. that's all i gotta say about it. :)

Maybelline Stylish Smokes

So i had the chance to pick up the Maybelline Stylish Smokes quad in 'Natural Smokes' and i love it! It's been selling out like constantly and i picked up the very last one at Walmart!!


I love the lid color, it reminds me of MAC's 'Satin Taupe' which is one of my all time fave eyeshadow!

*click* for a better view
Lid - Crease - Brow - Outer Corner
(Pretty pigmented without a base!)

I can actually create a lot of different looks with this quad - love that!

Time to do a look!

Lid color all over the lid!

Applying the crease color in the crease (windshield wiper motions)

Taking the brow bone color and blending the harsh lines out

Deepen the "V" with the outer corner color

Tightlining - (waterline is optional)
(Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil - Zero)

Line your upper lashline
(MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack)

Taking the crease color and applying it on the lower lashline



Curl your lashes and apply mascara - top and bottom!
(Bare Escentuals - Buxom Lash Mascara)




FINISHED!






Hope you enjoyed and this helped you out! Better pick up one of these bad boys!! ^__^

Dior Addict!


Lip Maximizer - Collagen Activ Lipgloss

Oh HOLD UP!!
A lip plumping gloss that is also a lip care product?!

Not only is it supposed to plump up your lips but it also acts as a lip care!
It rehydrates and reconstruct your lips and after 15 days, your lip contour is "redefined".

*click* for a better look at the color!

Color: It's a very sheer light pink with super tiny shimmers in it.. it pretty much goes on clear...
Scent: A subtle minty vanilla scent! I like it! Definitely not overpowering and the vanilla makes it smell so much nicer than just plain mint!

To Use:
Apply under regular lipstick or gloss for volume and shine, or morning and night as a 15-day intensive care

RESULTS!

before

after

do you see a difference???

compared to other lip plumping glosses - this one definitely doesn't tingle your lips like crazy!
you can slightly feel the tingle-ness (lol) but not as extreme as other ones.
as for making your lips look more plump, i think it's okay.. i feel like i've used better ones despite how much more they tingle and sometimes even burn your lips.

another pro is that it also isn't a sticky gloss! thumbs up for that!

so let's do some pros and cons to quickly summarize?

PROS:
- doesn't tingle/burn your lips like other lip plumping glosses
- the scent is wonderful!
- not sticky at all!
- doesn't dry out your lips

CONS:
- it's $30 (however i got mine for free MUAHAHAHA)
- it doesn't do a very good job at plumping..
- not a super high pigmented color, unless you like that

As for the intensive care for your lips, so far i'm liking it.. it's not drying out my lips or anything..
i definitely have to keep trying it out for the rest of the 15 days.
perhaps an update? :)


thanks for blogging lovelies xoxo.
