Urban Decay - Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Apocalypse. Another favorite of mine. It's loaded w/ pigment, it's super glossy & easy to use.

It's described as a deep plum.

Hot Mess - Holy pigment! It looks red in the tube but came out a coralish color.

I like it.

 

 

Highlighter Papier - I'm not sure about this. I haven't tried it on my face yet -

it kinda looks like a mess!

Pretty - It's a matte dark brown plumish color. I probably won't use it often

but I'm keeping it. I love the balm's products. I recently got all their blushes

and all 4 are beautiful (swatches coming soon!).

 

 

 

 

 

Millionaire by Nailitini

Bare Mineral's lip gloss is pretty but there is nothing special or different about it. The eyeliner by Scarlet is very pigmented but it's also very smeary. I haven't tried the eyebrow gel yet. This was a either or item - others got Benefit's They're Real Mascara mini. Nailtini's polish is in such a cute bottle. I have nothing like this in my polish collection. I hope we get to try more colors! I swear I took a picture of the bag - I can't seem to find it.

What do you think about Ipsy's November & December bags?

Urban Decay - 24/7 Shadow Pencil Stash

I've been oogling these for some time. But $44 for 5 travel size eye pencils...I don't think so. I saw this in the clearance section at Sephora & paid $12. Score :)

The set comes in 5 colors (going L to R below).The first one is delinquent - it's a sparkly dark purple color. My favorite, but I'm a sucker for almost anything purple. The next color is rehab - a shimmery brown color. The one in the middle is juju - a shimmery gold color. Next to last is sin - a shimmery champagne pink color. Finally, the last one is clash - its a sparkly turquoise color.

I really like these. They are colorful & are super easy to blend. There are mixed reviews on these. Some say they don't blend well. I wonder if different colors have different ingredients?

Sephora Splurge & Review

I couldn't resist one last splurge before I take this no buy seriously. I've been drooling over the ciate paint pots all year long. The color I really wanted - oil slick has been sold out since they came out. Finally restocked! This color is so cool - pics don't so it justice. It's pricey @ $15 - the most I have ever paid for polish!

I got this gorgeous eyeshadow (bright yellow gold) from sephora's collection for $5! Its from the prisma chrome line. They have several other colors. I LOVE this color. Its not as obnoxious as it looks, promise. I love the little wave design.

I also got Benefits's new ultra plush lip gloss in hoola. Its a gorgeous golden nude color with lots of sparkle. It doesn't have much pigment to it but I really like it. And it smells like peaches!

Last pièce de résistance - Urban Decay's super saturated high gloss in apocalypse. Its looks dark because it is & that's what I like about it. It's flattering to my skin tone & its super glossy (better be @ $19!). A lot of plum colors look more magenta but this is a real plum color. Yay! I'm always looking for colors like this.

Swatches going from L to R. Sephora eyeshadow in bright yellow gold - I put on several layers so I could get the color out. Its much more subtle than pictured. Benefit's gloss in hoola. Urban Decay's super saturated gloss in apocalypse.
