Mac Fall 2013

Hi Dolls!!!

Mac's Fall Collection 2013 will be out and Available on counters August 1, 2013 for my (North American loves) and sometime in August for my (International loves) !! If your a Mac Pro Member it is available now!
($20 USD/ $25 CAD)

The Collection includes 12 Mac Pressed Pigments. 9 new shades that can be used wet or dry. The three shades I will be showing you are Rock Candy (a mid tone rose), Midnight (a deep blue), and Lime Ice ( a Seafoam green). The Pressed Pigments are being re-launched from the Holiday 2012 and Spring 2013 Collection with some new fall shades.

When it comes to pigmentaion they were fairly pigmented when used dry as well as wet. Lime Ice (Seafoam Green was the most sheer all around. I would definitly reccomend using a primer before applying, especially if you are applying them dry. Below are 2 pics to show the difference!

I really recommend trying the colors before purchasing.

Too Faced Summer Eyes!

Looks Like Too faced has come out with their summer eye palette and let me tell you it is great!

 This palette includes the Too Faced Summer Eyes Summer Sexy Eye Shadow Collection ($36 USD / $45 CAD), which is the same as laste years palette "Summer collection", however the palette now has a new and re-designed metal case.  This is a limited-edition collection only hear for a little while. 

This palette features gorgeous resort-inspired hues, sun-soaked bronzes and glowing, shimmery textures. Available now from Too Faced!!! What are you waiting for lets looked sun kissed with this palette together! 

I already love these eyeshadow palettes from Too Faced, and now that they have this new metal packaging, makes it 10 times better.This palette is so great it  even features a mirror on the interior lid! The packaging is chic and smooth, and secure... did I mention so cute as well!? 

A lot less bulky then their old designs...bam bam thank you mam! I love it! 

The Colors include:

Seashell: Pale, matte peach

Plumeria: Shimmery, rose pink

Cocoa Beach: Deep brown with gold sparkle

Peach Fuzz: Pale, iridescent beige

Coral Crush: Mid-tone coral peach with gold sparkle

Chocolate Sun: Deep, rich brown with gold sparkle

Sunbeam: Light yellow gold with gold sparkle

Mermaid: Muted, shimmery teal                                        

Toasted Coconut: Mid-tone matte brown                                      

Swatches (L-R): Sunbeam, Mermaid & Toasted Coconut (Fashion Collection) 

Swatches (L-R): Seashell, Plumeria & Cocoa Beach 

(Day Collection) 

Swatches (L-R): Peach Fuzz, Coral Crush & Chocolate Sun (Classic Collection)

Just as all the other Too Faced Eye Shadow Collections, this palette is divided into three eyeshadow “sets”: Day, Classic and Fashion.  Each of the rows do contains a light, mid-tone and deep shade that are coordinated to create individual looks, but ofcourse playing around with all the colors is what is most fun about eyeshadow palettes. 

A plus about this palette is much like other eyeshadow palettes it comes with a how-to booklet of looks. Making it easy, so you can follow along with too if you need some extra inspiration! 

Great pigmentation, but I would say if your going to go out and buy this make sure you have and use a primer...especially in the summer, if your looking for all day wear! Bendable and build-able! YAY!  

I think my favorite color from this palette would be mermaid so pretty! 

Price: $36 USD / $45 CAD

Pass the Tarte please!

Hi loves! 

Hope you all are having an AMAZING Weekend + Monday! 

Lets jump into the makeup talk!

I first discovered Tarte a couple years ago when my boss gave me a gift bag that had a mini lip stain in it from Tarte. I thought to myself "Wow how have I not tried this brand...I'm always at Sephora?!!" 

Ever since then I have been hooked, and love to try their products! For spring Tarte added a quad color eye-shadows! Secret Garden is the new to the Tarte Beauty and The Box Amazonian Clay Eye Shadow Quad line up. [$22 USD/ $26 CAD] 

The eyeshadow palettes have four strips of color and the boxes are palm sized. 

Secret Gardem is color scheme is gold and olive green, soo pretty and perfect for spring!

This is what Tarte Claims their amazonian makeup does  "Amazonian makeup makes is suitable for all skin types, because it minimizes oil, hydrates skin, improves the skin, and gives the skin an overall smoother and more even appearance." 

So having Amazonian Clay infused in the eyeshadow will help reduce the oils on the surface and help to improve the texture of the skin making it a smooth application for long wear. 

How cute is the packaging!! I love the floral design I think it is so spring and cute! Would have been better if inside had a mirror but it is not the end of the world! 

Yay no parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, fragrances, and sodium laruyl sulfate making it great for everyone even the girls who are sensitive to makeup! 
These eyeshadows have great pigmentation just like Tarte's fabulous blushes. Smooth, almost buttery texture.  

The shades include

• Sprout: Pale, yellow gold
• Goldenrod: Warm, golden bronze
• Fern: Mid-tone, olive green
• Vine: Deep, olive brown

This is available at :

Tarte Cosmetics +Sephora

$22 (USD) $26 (CAD)

Are you feeling this?

New Urban Decay Eye-shadows 2013 Spring!

Hello Beautiful!

Looks like Urban Decay has recently re-formulated their entire eye-shadow range!! What a great surprise to all the Urban decay lovers, and makeup up lovers out there!

  The new formula was more creamy, richly pigmented and blended like a dream! Ever since then, Urban Decay has been launching their eye-shadow palettes with the new formula, and this Spring 2013 they introduced seven new eye-shadows to their permanent range. These shades do vary in tone and texture, but they all are common in one thing...they are amazing! Even the packaging has changed (I personally happen to love better than the old packaging)

Hopefully we’ll see the brand bring them to other retailers like SEPHORA! (PWETTY PLEASE) As of now if your not living in the USA these bad boys might be hard to get your hands on. These eye-shadows feature the updated single compact with a transparent lid. The eye- shadows pop out easily to be placed into Urban Decay’s new 6-pan palettes, which I feel is the best bart! YAY more Palettes! =)
