L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks Review

     Hi loves! I'm finally blogging again! Today's post is all about the new L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks. There are two categories of these lipsticks, Le Matte and Le Laque. As you can probably already guess, Le Matte is the matte one and Le Laque is the glossy one. I only picked up three colors, one from matte and two from gloss, because those were the only ones available at my local drugstore. I picked them up from Bed, Bath & Beyond and I haven't seen them at any other drugstore yet! I want more; especially from the matte collection!



     Let's start with the only matte one I bought and it is called "No Matte-r What." I really had high hopes for this one and I was very disappointed. I was expecting it to be the perfect nude for us tanned skin girls. However, this one had a brown undertone and really doesn't look flattering. It also goes on very patchy and does not feel matte at all. They only positive for me is that it is not drying. I guess I have to try out a couple more from the matte collection before I completely start hating on them. Here is a swatch on my lips:-
Sorry for the blurriness!
 
     The next two are from the Le Laque collection and I have to say that these are my favorites! These are immensely pigmented and glossy. Unlike the matte formula, these are not patchy at all. The only downsides for me are that they are a little sticky, they do feel heavy on my lips and they transfer. I personally don't like wearing bright lipsticks unless they are matte because they kiss off. That might be the only reason I won't reach for them very often.
 
     The first swatch is of the pink lipstick called "Laquer-ized." This color is a glossy version of MACs Candy Yum Yum. It is a neon pink with purple undertones. This was the most difficult to photograph because it looked more purple than pink but I did my best!

     The last color is probably my new favorite red and it's called "Laque-onic." The formula is not only amazing but the color is so very flattering. It usually takes me some time to get used to red but as soon as I applied this one, I felt beautiful. It is a blue based red so not only does it make your teeth look white, it also makes your skin looks brighter. I am absolutely in love!

Beauty Haul!

     Hi lovelies! Today's post is all about my recent beauty haul. I have been shopping like crazy for the last two months and I have accumulated a lot of beauty products so here they are. I also did a video on my YouTube Channel so if you haven't already seen that, please go check it out.







 Let's talk about the only thing I didn't take an individual picture of. I'm talking about the RC Cosmetics Brushes. You can see them on the pictures above. They are a knockoff of the Sigma Kabuki brushes. I haven't had a chance to use them yet but I did brush them and they did not shed; so far so good. They do have a strong permanent marker smell which did go away once I washed them. I will have a full review video on them on my YouTube Channel very soon. So stay tuned for that. I paid about $15 for them on Amazon and if you guys are interested, here is the link:- http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Synthetic-Royal-Care-Cosmetics/dp/B00BX7DGIC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371000745&sr=8-1&keywords=rc+cosmetics+brushes



     Next comes the lipsticks. I bought quite a few so let's get started! I'm just going to list them for you because I already described them in my video.


 
From L to R:- Smashbox Fuchsia Flash, Illamasqua Test, Bite Pastille Violet, MAC Pink Nouveau, MAC Kinda Sexy, MAC Impassioned, LancĂ´me Rouge in Love Rendezvous, Makeup Forever #40, NYX Fig. 
 
    I bought some cream blushes from Revlon. I absolutely love cream blushes for the spring because they just give you a natural flush. If you guys saw my "Current Favorites" video you know that I love their cream blush in "Berry Flirtatious," so I had to grab some more! The packaging is so sleek and looks very high end.

 
The nude one is "Pinched." The coral one is "Coral Reef." The hot pink one is "Flushed."
 
    Since I have a new obsession with blushes, I had to pick up some of the blushes from the new Maybelline Summer collection. The two I picked up are "Coral Burst" and "Golden Fuse." Coral Burst is a gorgeous burnt orange with gold shimmer. Golden Fuse is a golden beige with gold shimmer. I'm going to use the latter as a highlighter for a bronzy glow. 
 
 
    The last makeup product I bought was from Sephora. I don't think you guys know this but I am obsessed with highlighters. I have a lot of them and the latest one is the Sephora Baked Luminizer in Light Beam. It's this gorgeous pearly white with gold shimmer. I have been wearing it ever since I got it and I love it.
 
 
Last but not least, the nail stuff!!! I bought Essie, China Glaze, OPI and Pixi. Here they are!
 
 
From L to R:- Essie Shake that $$ Maker, Essie Bottle Service, Essie Naughty Nautical, Essie The More The Merrier, Pixi Vivid Coral, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, OPI A Woman's Prague-ative, OPI DS Luxurious.
 
 
YouTube did not give me a good choice of thumbnails!
 
    WOOOOH!! I'm Done!!! This was such a long post! Sorry guys, I just had so much stuff. I hope this was informative! Thanks for reading. Stay Beautiful! xoxox

Recent M.A.C Purchases!

     Hi lovelies!  Today's post is about my recent M.A.C purchases. I don't really shop from M.A.C too much. Their face products break me out so bad. I just recently started buying their lipsticks but, to be honest, I do prefer shopping at Sephora because I have more variety. However, I did pick up two matte lipsticks for the summer, "So Chaud" and "Candy Yum Yum."  I'm going to have so much fun with them!
 


     The first one I picked up was "So Chaud." It's a bright reddish orange color with yellow undertones. Be aware that this does make your teeth look a bit yellow. I tired on "Morange," and "Lady Danger" but this one looked the best on me. Forgive me for my terrible swatches but here they are.
 





This is what I look like with it on!

    
     The next one I picked up was "Candy Yum Yum." Oh my God! This was such a pain to get a hold of! I looked everywhere for this color and it was sold out for months! I finally bought it from Nordstrom yesterday! I really don't have to talk much about this color. This is the most hyped about lipstick in the beauty community. Candy Yum Yum was originally limited edition but now it has finally been added to their permanent collection! It is a cool toned neon pink with a lavender under tone. Here are the swatches!

 

 
 
    
     I hope this was helpful. Make sure you guys try these products if you haven't already! You won't regret it. Stay tuned for a tutorial using both these colors and until then Stay Beautiful! xoxox.
