Tutorial :: Fall Into Drama

Finally back with a new tutorial as we head into the Fall season… This look is pretty simple, great for a night out on the town. Not a fan of dark lips? No problem, switch it up with a peachy nude lip color. This brown and bronze eye look is something that I use often for some subtle drama. Enjoy!

Haul :: MAC Fashion Sets

MAC Cosmetics’ new Fashion Sets collection is a nice fun collection of colors that are bright, bold and perfect for the Spring/Summer. As the name implies, there are 4 sets of color collections with lipstick, lipliner, nail polish, lipglass, and eyeshadow. The four colors are Heroine (one of the most popular limited edition lipsticks), Embrace Me, Silly, and Ablaze.

The lip products match each other pretty spot on, making the lip combination easy and effortless. If not all, I think every can pick at least one shade that works for them.

I already had Heroine from a previous collection as well as Embrace Me, so I picked up the remaining lipsticks and lipliners plus each lipglass and eyeshadow to complete each set. Hear my thoughts in the video above and check out some swatches below…

Swatches :: MAC Glamour Daze Holiday Collection (Pt. I)

Ohh la la… the holiday collection from MAC is called Glamour Daze and is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! It’s chic and sophisticated, with some gorgeous colors and the packaging it to die for. I snagged everything I wanted!

If you missed the Extra Dimension Skinfinishes that was released in the original Extra Dimension collection, you can get Superb and Whisper of Gilt in this one and I live for Superb which has a nice peach tone. Both are great to have as a highlight. We also see the Extra Dimension Eyeshadows but this time it is all new limited edition colors and a smaller package. I don’t like that the price point is $19.50 when it’s the same size as a standard eyeshadow, only .50 cent less that the larger size that was originally released.

You probably know by now that blush is my vice and of course I had to get all three. Small Vanity is great deeper plum toned blush that would be great for women of color and I’m the One is such a pretty blue toned pink. As far as lipsticks Dramatic Encounter sounds just like its name, very dramatic and deep and amazing for Fall/Winter. Outrageously Fun is sweet pink with a slight punch.

One product that I was ecstatic to get were the Kohl Power Eye Pencils, especially Feline! Holy darkness Batman, this is a deep black liner with a great matte finish. It reminds me of Urban Decay’s Perversion. The other colors Raven, Mystery, and Orpheus are blackened color with a slight glitter and just amaze balls on the eye balls.

Check out the list of what I got and swatches below!
