Review & Swatches: Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow “My Two Cents”


Sometimes when you first discover a makeup brand, you immediately fall in love.
You want to buy all of their products, go home and just dump it all on your face.
With Benefit I never really had that experience, I always thought they looked fun and such, but not “tickle-my makeup belly-worthy” ← (let’s make that a thing, haha)

However, when I tried Benefit’s “The Porefessional” and the “They’re Real!” mascara my love for Benefit started growing rapidly. My love for them started growing so fast, I felt a little tickle in my makeup belly every time I used one of their products.

I decided to buy the Creaseless Cream Shadow in “My Two Cents” and Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner..

Review & Swatches: Y.S.L Rouge Volupté Shine Lipsticks


When it comes to the world of lipsticks, in my opinion, Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks are at the top of the lipstick Mount Everest. Their packing has the appearance of a three billion dollar mansion, their quality is as good as Iron Man’s suit and just their overall feeling makes you feel like a Hollywood star.

When I saw amazing makeup artist Lisa Eldrigde use Y.S.L’s Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick in number 19 I literally gasped for air. Such a stunning, modern pop of color.
I decided to splurge and buy two Rouge Volupté Shines myself!

Current Obsession: Barry M Textured Nail Polish “Ridley Road”


When O.P.I first launched their Liquid Sand™ polishes in their Mariah Carey collection
I immediately was a huge fan of the new texture trend. Something so new, trendy and edgy. Just in time because the crackle polishes really started to piss me off. With this new texture trend it’s all about making you nails look like gritty, plasterer, stone-ish nails!

Barry M decided to give it a go as well, and I’m a huge, obsessed fan.

Review & Swatches: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils: “Bolero” & “Train Bleu”


As if there weren’t enough lip product reviews on here lately, here I am with another one!
(I’m sorry, I just really like making these, haha)

If there’s one brand that has been making my heart pound a little faster lately, it has to be NARS. I don’t own a lot of their products, but the products I do have are mindblowingly amazing, and in general end up being huge favorites.

I recently bought two of the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils I had been eyeballing for weeks. And oh my, where have these babies been all my life?
