MAC Lippie Haul!

Good morning guys! Today I'm here to show you what I bought at Macy's about a week ago. I know the MAC Playland collection came out a few months ago and I've always wanted to get some of the lip products from that collection. Of course I waited too long and all of the lippies were sold out :(. I decided to hunt down some products and I found them in stock on Macy's website! I quickly bought all the lipsticks and lipglasses I wanted and I also bought something from the new MAC Moody Blooms collection. Here's what I got!

MAC Alluring Aquatic Haul + Swatches!

Hey guys! A couple of days ago, MAC came out with their new summer collection called Alluring Aquatic for summer. Let's just say that I went a bit overboard! My package came in yesterday and I immediately opened the box! Just look at the packaging! So freakin' cute! Plus it's almost my birthday so I decided that I should treat myself to some MAC products! Let's see what I got! I'll also show some swatches at the end too!

Mini NYX Haul!

Hey guys! Today I'm here to show you a mini NYX haul I purchased online at Ulta! I don't have a lot of NYX products and since I had some points to redeem (over $9!), I decided to purchase some of their products! I'll have swatches at the end!

From right to left: NYX blush in Apricot, NYX Butter Lipstick in Pops, NYX Butter Lipstick in Little Susie, NYX Butter Lipgloss in Tiramisu

I was so excited to try out the new Butter Lipsticks! I've worn them both once and they feel amazing on the lips! The blush is so pretty too! I believe Apricot is a new shade in their blush line so I can't wait to use it! I have so many Butter Lipglosses and I decided to get an everyday nude color. Tiramisu looks perfect! I'm so happy with everything! Now onto the swatches!

I love everything that I got! These products are also perfect for spring! Can't wait to play with them more!

Maybelline Fall 2013 Collection Haul: Review + Swatches!

Hey everyone! Today I'm here to show you all the items I bought from Maybelline's new Fall 2013 Collection! I have been stalking stores around me everywhere and I finally found new, untouched products! I'm sort of disappointed that there were no new Color Tattoos this year but I have so many to use up! Anyway, let's see what I got!

Let's start off with the lip products! There are a lot of purple lip products in this collection and I really wanted to try them out! Here's the lipsticks I got!

From left to right: Fuchsia Fierce, Violet Intrigue, Midnight Plum

I have reviewed all of my Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks here and these lipsticks feel exactly like the ones I own! I'm especially excited to wear Violet Intrigue more often this fall! I don't own any colors like these so I'm thrilled to wear them frequently! 

From left to right: Purple Royale, Lavender Lavish, Raspberry Ablaze, Berry Brilliance

I have actually never tried these lip glosses before so I decide to get most of the glosses. I might go back to the store to get the other two because I love these lip glosses! I have worn all of the glosses this past week and it might just be my new favorite lip gloss formula! They feel incredibly smooth and creamy on my lips, last a fairly long time (3-4 hours without eating anything greasy), and I love the doe foot applicator! If you want just a couple things from this collection, check out the lip glosses! They are amazing!

Swatches from left to right: Violet Femmes quad, Fall Temptation quad

I own a couple Eye Studio quads from their permanent line I have to say that these weren't really the best. They weren't as pigmented and long lasting as the permanent ones I own. I still like them but the pigmentation could be better in these two quads.

Overall, I'm really impressed with the products I got from this collection! The lip products are definitely the star of the entire collection! Have any of you gotten anything from this collection? Let me know!

Until next time!

NEW Maybelline Lip Products: Review + Swatches!

Hey everyone! I recently purchased some lip products from Maybelline that I've been wanting to try. These include the new limited edition Baby Lips, Color Whispers and the Vivids collection. Let's get started!


An overview of what I got.

Let's start with the limited edition Baby Lips. I believe they came several months ago. This is my first time trying out these lip balms! I got them in Melon Mania, Coral Crush and Yummy Plummy.


I love these lip balms! They have a fruity smell to them, especially Coral Crush, which smells just like oranges! They are very sheer in color and they keep my lips moisturized all day! Love them! Below are swatches.


From L to R: Melon Mania, Coral Crush, Yummy Plummy

Up next are the new Color Whisper Lip Colors. They're like the Revlon Lip Butters in that they are pigmented but feel comfortable on the lips. I got two colors, one in Mad for Magenta and the other in Berry Ready.


I love these lipsticks/lip butters! They're just like the Baby Lips except they are more pigmented. They lasted around five hours on me. Below are swatches!


From L to R: Mad for Magenta, Berry Ready

Last but certainly not least are the Vivids collection lipsticks. These lipsticks are bright, like Nicki Minaj bright! I got them in two colors, Vivid Rose and Vibrant Mandarin.


The packaging is just like the original Color Sensational lipsticks.


These are incredibly pigmented. One swipe and you've got full color! Since I already love the original Color Sensational lipsticks, it's no surprise that I love these as well! They last 8+ hours and they did not feather out. Below are swatches!


From L to R: Vivid Rose, Vibrant Mandarin

Please excuse my poor lighting on most of these pictures.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these new Maybelline lip products! I love the Color Whispers and Vivids lipsticks! Did you get any of these products? Leave a comment down below!

See you next time!

Maybelline ColorSensational lipsticks: Review + Swatches!

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite lipsticks ever: Maybelline's ColorSensational lipsticks!



As you can see, I own six of these bad boys! What I love about this line of lipsticks is that they carry a wife range of colors, as well as their finishes. These lipsticks last a long time on me (5-6 hours) and they apply very nicely. Below are swatches of the lipsticks I own.


From L to R: Pink Satin, Bit of Berry, Tinted Taupe, Blissful Berry, Nude Nuances (LE), Elegant Lilac (LE)

I would have to say that the Maybelline ColorSensational lipsticks are my favorite lipsticks, either drugstore or high end. They're very easy to apply and my lips feel very moisturized and not dry. I highly recommend checking out these lipsticks!

Have a great day beauties!
