I'm sucking every last bit of fall out that I can... it's supposed to snow today, Boo. I'm not ready for the cold weather.

Maybelline dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Profector Review

After my disappointment with the Garnier BB cream I wanted to give another BB cream a go. I like the concept of them but with oily skin I needed something that was less greasy than The Garnier BB cream, and since Maybelline was B1G1 1/2 off at Rite Aid a few weeks ago I decided to give this one a try.

 Maybelline Color tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow #200 Mossy Green is apart of the Limited Edition Fall 2012 fashion Week Collection. It is one out of 4 of the Color Tattoo shadows in the collection. It's the perfect color for fall if you want a fall color but don't want to go with the browns. 

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer Downtown Brown Review

I was perusing the fall collections at the local drugstore and just glanced by this color at first but at a second look I had fallen in love. I'm not usually one for brown colors but this one had something special, Duochrome! Yep I'm a sucker for any nail polish with duochrome.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Review

I'm defiantly a sucker for a Revlon lip product. Their lipsticks are by far my favorite, so when they come out with something new I have to try it. Once  again Revlon has not let me down.

-Lightweight Lip stain + Moisturizing Balm
-100% of women who tried it felt their lips were instantly moisturized with a soft stain of color
-Retractable chubby crayon, no sharpener required

June MyGlam Bag Review

So its been quite a while since I did a MyGlam post because quite frankly I had been pretty unhappy with the service, and rather than give them any bad press I didn't want to wright anything at all. You know what they say any press is good press. So with that aside I feel like MyGlam has been listening to their customers and I'm fairly happy with this months bag.

Sample Sunday #2

Lately I have noticed that I have a box of samples just piling up between Birchbox and MyGlam and the samples that come in with orders of from beauty stores. So I'm making it a point to try a few out each week so they stop piling up.

This weeks samples are

• Freeman's Facial Enzyme Mask, Pineapple.
• Wonderstruck Perfume By Taylor Swift
• Zoya Nail Polish In Lotus, from the TRUE Spring Collection.

Sample Sunday ( Epic Fail Eye Rock Designer Liner)

A while back I had received the Eye Rock Designer Liner in my Birchbox and finally decided to give them a try. Essentially wheat they are is a eye liner in sticker form.

I assume what the company was going for was to make a product that makes doing dramatic eyeliner easy and simple as putting a sticker on. Well it was not easy or simple! These were very difficult to put on. They felt so weird and uncomfortable on. They made my eyes water. Peeling them off didn't feel good, it hurt a bit. It would be much easier and quicker to do eyeliner with a pencil or brush. If anyone where thinking of trying these just don't do it. The eye Rock designer liner is an epic fail all around.

Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow & 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

I recently picked up a few things from the Urban Decay friends and family sale, and I'm so glad I did. I have found two of the most amazing eye color products. They both have such unique color, texture and effects.

E.L.F. High Definition Powder Review

I find that e.l.f. products are always hit or miss. Sometimes they are a good product for a great price and other times they fall in to the you get what you pay for. This High Definition Powder is a little off  mark for me.

Too Faced Glamorous To Go Review

Too Faced Glamorous To Go Pallet is a great little travel/ keep in your bag pallet. Whether you need to pull a look together on the go or touch up during the day.

L'Oreal paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow Review

L'Oreal's claims

• Intense maximized color
• Luxurious powder-cream texture
• 24-hour long-lasting hold
• Waterproof, crease resistant, fade resistant

description from loreal.com

These come in 12 shades. Most are shimmery neutrals there are a few more colorful colors like blue, green and purple.

I have heard that theses are a good drugstore dupe for the Armani Eyes To kill eyeshadows, but that is probably due to the fact that they are both under the same parent company and use similar formulas. So if you were looking to try the Armani shadows but not at the $32 price this might be a better way to go.  As for what I think of the L'Oral Infallible 24 HR shadows.....

Love it or leave it? Personally I'd leave it.  As far as the claims go it doesn't hold up. It does have a nice powder-cream texture, but as fare as intense maximized color goes it swatches on the fingers nicely yet when applied from there to the skin the pigmentation doesn't show up as intense. I did also find the shadow hard to work with. It was hard to pickup onto a brush and then apply to the eye. The best way to apply it was with the fingers, even then it wasn't ideal. As far as 24 hour long lasting hold goes it couldn't even hold up for 8 hours without creasing and that was with an eyeshadow primer. 

Would I purchase other shades? No, I think that it's not worth the nearly $10 for one color that is hard to work with and does not hold up. 

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadow Review

These "gel-cream" eyeshadows come in 10 different shades with a mix of neuterals and brights.

So far I'm loving these shadows. They are a cream shadow that set and will not budge. I do recommend working quickly with them to blend them out, the shadows will set quickly. The shadows last all day with out creasing for me which says a lot because I very oily lids and even after 14 hours no creasing. I can't imagine a need to wear shadow for 24 hours These shadows work great by themselves as all over color or as a base for other shadows.  I can't wait to try out some more colors and I think these would be a great addition to any makeup collection.
