Mac So Sweet Collection


I'm no MAC fan boy, only possessing 4 products from them including these. Nor am I a hater, I love there imagery and concepts behind the releases.The pro image from this release was too much I loved it. I was anticipating this release for months. I know that there are a lot of hardcore mac fans and on the flip side the people who have begun to hate Mac due to the constant flood of new releases. It's hard to get sucked into the hype surrounding the launches. I know I do but some how they never look quite the same in person or one me(bummer). I love cute bright girly colors. I picked up a few pieces. I'm thinking I should have gotten In Sync lipliner but it's not critical since it's now a permeant color.

 I recently bought 4 pan pallet from Bobbie Brown. Along with purchased a shimmer wash shadow in Ivory and a matte shadow in Birch.  I popped out my much loved najavo and espresso. Completing my BB pallet. I love BB's shadows they're my HG. The colors are very flattering and there's a lot of subtle variations of colors. The shadows are highly pigmented with a soft velvety texture. Unlike many other pigmented shadows they are not prone to crumbing and fall down.

H&M Polishes Review, Photos + Swatches



I saw swatches online and I decided I had to get 'Bella's Choice' which is a bright teal creme. I find alot of pastel or 'bright' blue, greens and teal are too dusty for my taste or neon. I final found it in my local H&M and it looked pretty in the bottle as well.

Nail Polish Rant- review & photos

After China Glaze the Up and Away I fell back in love with nail polish.I'm obsessed with creme nail polishes. I love the spring/summer nail trends. Pinky corals, pastels, mint greens and blues teals make me happy:) I bought  Heli-Yum, Sugar High, Something Sweet,Re-Fresh Mint, and Happy Go Lucky

. My favorite originally was Sugar High, it is a bright pink with a coral undertone. It was a little too coral for my skin tone(I'm very pale with yellow undertones). But I tried it on my cousin(tan skin) amazing! It looked like it should be bright beautiful young summery pink. My favorite now is Heli-Yum it's a raspberry red. It reads like a soft red on my skin and I love it. Re-Fresh mint is also lovely light minty green. I mainly use it on the tips as a colored french. Happy Go Lucky is bright yellow. I plan to use it more in the summer, currently I feel like softer colors. Something Sweet is the cool tone light pink almost a lilac. Not really my favorite.
