Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism Collection for Spring

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:42:32 -0400

I was so excited to see this collection. I love, love, love Illamasqua drama and beautiful colors. This line and collection really lets my creativity flow. Hope you enjoy!!!

The Fundamental Palette ($42.50) is a playground for self-expression. Experiment with contrasting textures, from glistening Liquid Metal in molten pewter to matt Cream Pigment in mint green, to express every inch of your alter ego. Coupled with two vibrant Powder Eye Shadows in Hype (Bold Yellow) and Inception (Rich Violet) this palette demands bold levels of nonconformity.

The Neutral Palette ($42.50) is to create sculpted highlights and stark contours anywhere on your face and body with these four fundamental Powder Shadows. From new matt shades in Stealth (Creamy Buttermilk), Wolf (Chocolate Brown) and Vintage (Antiqued Gold) – a shade exclusive to this palette – to the glistening metallic accents of Obsidian (Rich Black), express your inner light and darkness in a rich riotous glamour.

Powder Eyeshadow ($20.00)

Burst, Pivot, Cancan, Sex, Obsidian, Vernau

Precision Ink ($27.50) in pure white Scribe is the ultimate anti-liner. Subvert expectations and highlight the unconventional, creating white-lined eyes and white-out brows with Precision Ink’s super-fine tip. Waterproof and extremely long-lasting, Precision Ink also makes the perfect nail art pen. Simply apply then seal with Illamasqua Top Coat for nails that transcend conformity.

Nail Varnish ($14.00)

Stance (Bright Mauve), Nomad (Bright Jade)

Lipstick ($22.00) and Intense Lipgloss ($20.00)
Dare to be you with our vibrant Box Lipstick, the richest of reds, deep scarlet Lipstick takes you way beyond conformity. Intense Lipgloss in Fierce (Bright blue purple) speaks of uncompromising self-expression, the fundamental desire to stand out and a strong connection with the power of pure colour.

MAC False Lashes Mascara

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 00:06:36 -0500

False Lashes Mascara adds dramatic volume, the rich, creamy, volumizing formula magnifies and multiplies the look of each lash, creating dramatically thick, long, curled, exaggerated lashes. The lush brush applies a deluxe dose of heavy pigment to the lashes and works in combination with the product to create incredible volume, length and density. The pigments in the formula are treated to allow for maximum colour payoff that remains true, deep, uniform and wears all day long. It’s flake- and smudge-resistant, ophthalmologist-tested and safe for contact wearers.

So I was at my local MAC counter swatching a few item when one of the guys would not stop talking about this mascara. Curious I tried it and it was kind of amazing. Now I don’t like spending $18.00 on mascara so I recommend trying it before buying. Also there is no pro discount applied because of the packaging. I did pass on the product 1.) the price and 2.) I have way to many mascaras to go through first, but I defiantly would check it out.

Tired of being Shiny?

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:57:27 -0500

Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder is the answer!

What is it?

One of Urban Decay Co-founder’s favorite products! This shine-stopping pressed powder blots oil and keeps shine at bay. Try it on naked skin (if you run into the hot guy at the gym), or over foundation (for touchups on the dance floor without destroying your makeup). Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder, you won’t feel the powder, but you’ll see the shine-free results. The lavender shade applies invisibly and works on every skin tone, from dark chocolate to palest porcelain. Keep De-Slick in your bag at all times! The gorgeous, transparent purple compact seems to glow from within, featuring Urban Decay embellishments of skulls, flourishes and flowers. Pop it open to reveal a mirror and handy application puff.

My Thoughts:

I LOVE, love, LOVE this product. I always get oily through out the day and it is so irritating, but then I found this amazing product. I use it after my foundation routine and helps to control my oily skin and set my makeup. It also had tea tree in it to help prevent blemishes. It is so light weight and will go with any complexion so you don’t have to worry about a color match. It retails for $30.00 but it will last you as long as any compact will. I defiantly recommend it :)
