Completely Evil

I thought I would just go ahead and make it a completely Evil Shades weekend and swatch the rest of my goodies! I did a little swap with Andrea and asked for a couple of new blush samples.  I am all of a sudden infatuated with blushes and I LOVE her duochromes, so I was […]

My Pretty Zombie – A Mini Review

Ordering After reading about this on Manda’s blog, I ran over to MPZ’s Etsy shop to order it.  I wasn’t planning on getting anything else, but I browsed.  I admit, I’ve skipped over the shop a few times because I wasn’t all that impressed.  Some of the swatch pictures were not all that clear.  I’ve […]

Promise

One of the things people kept telling me to try after my failed review of Illamasqua was their blushes.  So being stubborn I didn’t just order a regular blush, I had to order a cream one. Highlight your cheekbones, shape your face, and build and blend with fingers or a brush to create the color […]

Make Up Forever HD Creme Blush

My blush hording knows no bounds.  Last time I was into Sephora I poked around.  I really try to stay away from MUFE, but after watching a video from Lisa Eldridge I was very curious about the ‘new’ HD blushes they had.

Lightbulb Beauty Tip #1

I had an incredible light bulb moment this morning.  I have a very pale complexion.  When I’m ‘heathly’ looking I’m still a little on the pale side of a MAC 15, but with a hint of peachy/yellow (Meow Inquisitive Chartreux).  For the longest time I skipped blush all together, but I’m realizing that it really […]

Medusa Make Up – A Review

Monday Phyrra suggested I check out Medusa MakeUp.  I had to laugh because I had JUST placed an order with them!  I had actually noticed them reading my latest issue of Nylon, although they have been in a TON of magazines including Alternative Press (AP), which I’ve been reading for over a decade.  Medusa was […]

Spell Cosmetics – A Review

This is actually the second time I’ve ordered from Spell Cosmetics, but the first time was more of a whim and I didn’t really post a full review, so I thought I would take the time and do that now! Ordering Ordering from Spell is tricky.  As I previously mentioned, the site has been notoriously […]

So Dreamy

Everyone knows I love Maybelline’s Dream Mousse Blush.  Today while I was browsing at Target waiting for my prescription I saw that Rimmel had something called 8 HR Mousse Blush.  They had a few colors, but the one that caught  my eye was #005 Frozen Cherry.  It looked almost like an exact dupe for my […]

Blush Showdown

I was curious as to how my new favorite mousse blush compared to my ultimate blush, Nars Orgasm. Side by side, as you can see, the colors are really similar.  The sheen even looks the same.  So I primed and foundationed a spot on the back of my hand and swatched both. left to right […]
