L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows in Perpetual Purple & Iced Latte, Review & Swatches!

I went on a drugstore makeup shopping spree and I noticed these two Shadows. I don't have a lot of L'Oreal things so I figured I'd try them out and If I didn't like them then give them to my older sister. I thought they would be like a pigment or lose shadow.( which I can't stand, they are so messy!!) So I opened it up and swatched it on my hand and It reminded me of the Color Tattoos by Maybelline but in a powder form, because the packaging is so alike!


 See how it looks somewhat similar to the Maybelline ones, except they are rounded & this one is more square!


I think the color of this is just outstanding! For all over the lid it's just flawless,when the cashier was ringing this up she looked at me and smiled so I guessed that meant it had to be good!


 I don't know why but whenever I tried to swatch this and take a picture it was blurry for no reason! But you can still see just how BEAUTIFUL this color is! This is one of my new favorites!


  So beautiful! When I seen this one it was hard not to resist but at least I only got two! I had five in my cart!



 This is just the most richest, deepest and most beautiful purple I have ever seen! I love how the purple has a hint of black in it as well! When I apply this, I use a shader brush by sigma and It's just amazing!


The swatch even has a nice silvery, purple black hint to it. Perfect for smoky eyes and a nude lip eh? I think so?

You need to try these, you won't be disappointed!
What's your favorite thing from L'Oreal? I like their blushes too!

Nail Of The Day: Opi Malage Wine

I just can't decide the backround of what I want to take my pictures in front of, ugh, I have so many free space to do it to. Help! What do you guys think I should do? Anyways todays nail of the day is OPI's Malage wine. With winter approaching very quickly almost I figured time to break out the deep reds. This one also goes with my Cherries in the snow lipstick from revlon! I just love the deep wine color look on my nails. Like I spilt red wine on my nails!


I love OPI polishes (like I say in every OPI nail of the day) it's mainly the only nail polish brand I buy! What's your favortie Nail polish brand?

What do you think about deep reds, yay or nay?

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: Review & Swatch!

Over the weekend I was getting a gift for my grandmas birthday and when I went into Sephora It was awful, something made me just want every single thing in the store and I did a little damage. This product was one of the many other damages! I also got the Urban Decay Naked 2 pallet because every time I go to my Sephora they still never have it! But the just got in a shipment, I'm so excited!


As you can see the packaging is just totally adorable! I love the Hershey kiss on it and I just love that it's made with real Cocoa powder. And the fact that this bronzer is matte makes it even better! 




I'm not one of those girls who likes shimmer in their bronzer, the farthest shimmer amount I would go with a bronzer is Laguna from NARS but nothing more! Although I do like shimmer in Blushes because of the sheen! :)I think I would recommend this for light to medium skin tones because for darker complections I think this would just be like a setting powder.


I personally think that this bronzer has topped my Hoola, Laguna and all my other drugstore Bronzers.  This bronzer is not to dark like Hoola, but It still has lots of pigmentation which is what I love. I love using this bronzer in the fall and winter because it warms your skin up beautifully which if you lose your tan very past like me or is pale this would be perfect. 

Too faced Chocolate soleil bronzer retails for $29 and has 10g of powder. I love this bronzer and So will you!

What's your favorite high-end bronzer?

 C.O Bigelow Lemon Lip Balm: My Thoughts!

Picked up a new Lip balm at Bath & Body Works and I LOVE IT! even more than my Baby Lips from Maybelline! I love that I can actually taste the lemon on my lips! and It reminds me so much of the packaging of the Nivea lip balms. I love this! It's one of those products I can put over a lipstick and It can be just so wonderful


I just think that for $7.50 (kind of expensive for a lip balm) is worth it! and Is wonderful for chapped lips because it has SPF 20 and it even feels moisturizing than the baby lips as well!



It comes out clear which is nice because you can wear it alone which makes your lips more bigger and plump looking or gives some nice shine over a matte lipstick.

I love this C.O Bigelow brand, what about you?

Maybelline Fall Eye Studio Quad in Cozy Cashmere: Review & Swatch!

Go get this.. Now.. Stop what you are doing and go. This for fall equals perfect. I hope everyone gets a chance to pick this up because it would be awful if you didn't. I think that these colors are perfect for a nice autumn day. And can be perfect for anyone. Don't hesitate not to..



 Can we all just take a moment to say how beautiful this is? It's limited edition so hurry! If you're a girl who likes only matte and no shimmer colors then this isn't for you but if you're like me and are crazy for shimmery colors than you will love this. It comes with a really nice cream color highlight & inner corner a nice shimmery color for the lid, a somewhat matte color for the crease (not completely matte) and a deep color for deepening the look up.



I just love the packaging of this and it even comes with a long duo ended sponge tip applicator. I like to use these to run product along my lower lash line because it's pointed.


The swatches and pigmentation is just amazing (5 out of 5 stars!) I think anyone would be crazy not to like this! That white swatch reminds me of MAC's All that Glitters! Dupe! I just love the Maybelline fall line. Do you?

What's your favorite eye shadow quad?

 Bath & Body Works Leaves Candle; Thoughts..

I went to Bath & Body Works recently because yes, it was 2 for $20 again. Whenever they have that I can't resist it! I've seen this scent last year but never cared to pick it up. I'm so glad I did! I love burning candles in fall and winter because they just light up a house.



I not only like the smell of this candle but I like the design too. I've seen the one they had last year but never really cared for it. Since I had a 10 of $30 coupon I got 3 candles for $20 (bargain shopper) So I figured I'd try some scents I haven't tried before. I love the smell of this candle it's a apple, berry, vanilla and spice all together and it's just amazing.

The description of this candle is " A fragrance that embodies the richness of fall- with all of it's colors and pleasures- featuring noted of golden nectar, ripe delicious apple and red berries." This couldn't fit the description any better.


What's your favorite Bath & Body Works Candle?
