Review & Swatches: Butter London Lady Muck Nail Polish

My first Butter London! Butter London's Lady Muck is a light blue silver with silver shimmer and its retail price is $15

My friend has this nail polish and after I used it, I fell in love with the color. It reminds me a lot of Cinderella. I can't say that it's an amazing polish though. The rectangular cap pulls off to reveal a short handle. I personally prefer OPI's brush, and this brush is tiny in comparison. It was annoying to use to paint my nails.

Review: Jack Black Lip Balm in Lemon & Chamomile

Jack Black's Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 contains 0.25 ounces and I am reviewing the Lemon & Chamomile version. It retails for $7.50.

This product has a nice sweet lemon scent and it reminds me of lemon tea. 

I like to spread a thin layer over my lips. I don't like glossy/shiny lips and fortunately enough, if I only put on a little bit, there's no glossy effect. My lips just look healthy and moisturized. Even with a little bit, my lips are moisturized for hours.

EOTD - March 22, 2013

Finals just ended and I'm home for awhile. I had to reduce my makeup so much because I'm going to be home for just under 2 weeks. 

I had to go to the dentist and get one of my wisdom teeth removed, and this is all the makeup  I wore. Honestly, I didn't need to wear any makeup because I wasn't planning on doing anything else after my appointment, but I at least wanted my eyes to look pretty. =)

Here's what I used -

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

Inglot Rainbow Shadow in 112R - I mixed the lightest and middle color and put that on the outer V to have some dimension. I also smudged the lightest shade on the outer 2/3rd of my lower lashline. 

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara

Lancome Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base

Maybelline Instand Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in 130 Medium

FOTD - March 5, 2013

This is pretty late, but I still wanted to post these up. I wanted to clear some space on my laptop, but I didn't want to just delete them because I already took them =)

March 5th was a nice day and I wanted to look natural and healthy. I wanted to cut down my "get ready" time in the morning and so I tried to use the least amount of product, but still look put together.

Face - NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in St. Mortz.

Eyes - Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Nude. CoverGirl Lashblast Mascara. Lancôme Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base.

Lips - Lush Lip Tint in A Million Kisses (Even though I look a bit washed out, the lip color is true to life.)

I used to have a deep side part, but I started changing it so that it's closer to a middle part ever since I cut my bangs. My bangs frame my face nicer now.

EOTD & Review of Lancôme's Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base

I've been really tired lately and so my eyes have also been really tired looking. Curled and volumized lashes always make me look more awake. I recently got Rimmel's Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal's Nude Liner and it's supposed to make me look more awake, too. These are the only products I wore today!

This review is for Lancôme's Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base and it is a white lash primer. It contains 0.17 fl. oz. / 5 ml. of product. 

I have straight and thin lashes and so I'm always looking for volumizing lash products. The Lancôme Cils Booster XL lash primer deluxe sample was one of the 100 point perks from Sephora. I decided to try it out, and I'm so glad that I did.

I'm just going to come right out and say it - I love this product! I even bought the full size a month after using the deluxe size. I actually took a picture of my lashes the first time I used this product.  

(My after picture below doesn't look like this anymore, but it's because my lashes have been weird lately)

My next round of midterms are coming up, and so it's totally the perfect time to do my nails! =)

Recent Favorite Lip Combo!

As my past blog posts have shown, I love and have many lip products. (I feel like I don't have enough though!) Every once in awhile, I like to mix colors and textures to create a color I don't have. 

While cleaning my desk, I rediscovered my e.l.f Matte Lip Color in Praline. It's similar to my lip color and it's the only nude-ish color I have. I used to wear it a lot, but I like bold colors more. While playing with some lip products, I discovered a new combo that I loved instantly! Keep on reading to see what they are and how to create the above lip color!

All The Reds!

One of my favorite lip colors is red. It's so classy and classic. I would wear it every day if I could. 

Since Valentine's Day is coming up next week, I wanted to post all of my reds so that others could see what kind of possible reds to buy/wear. I have a lip product collection post, but it hasn't been updated. One of the lipsticks in this blog is limited edition and I don't think you can buy it anymore, but I still wanted to include it since I wanted to show all of my reds.

L to R: Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Natural in N48. MAC Viva Glam 1. MAC Fire Sign (Limited Edition). MAC See Sheer. NYX Snow White. Lancome Rouge In Love in 170N (Sequence In Love). Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick in Fierce.

L to R: Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Mightiest Maraschino. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Adore. Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss in Hot Mess. Benefit Benetint.

In the same order as presented above.

I'm doing long distance and so I won't be able to smooch my boyfriend next week, but that just means that I can wear red lips without worrying! =)

MAC Viva Glam 1 is very similar to NYX Snow White. NYX Snow White might even be a bit creamier and moisturizing compared to Viva Glam 1.

Tarte Fierce is also very close to Lancome Sequence in Love. Sequence of Love is more shiny. Both of them feel very comfortable on the lips. I personally like Fierce because it's not as shiny, but Sequence in Love contains more product for the price.

I also have three red tinted lip balms (I have a problem). I like to use those alone for some color and moisture, or to top off my red lips during the day so that they dont look/feel so dry.

*MAC Viva Glam 1 was given to me as a gift by my boyfriend.

FOTD - January 16, 2013

Skin - Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup Foundation in 6.0. MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC35. Maybelline Instant Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in 130 Medium. 

Eyes - MAC Paintpot in Groundwork. CoverGirl Clump Crusher Water Resistant Mascara in Very Black. Lancome's Cils Booster XL Mascara Primer.

* My lashes were curled, but the mascara did not keep the curl

** The color on my eyelids look uneven, but it's just from the lighting.

Lips - MAC Lipstick in See Sheer and Revlon Black Cherry. 

*I put a thin layer of both and stained my lips with them.

I wanted a very natural look today, but I wanted to still look put together.

Review & Swatches: mark. On The Edge Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner in Cleo

mark. On The Edge Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner in Cleo is a matte black liquid eyeliner that contains 2.5 mL / 0.08 fl. oz. and it retails for $6.50.

The packaging is very sleek. This product is part of the "Hook Up" system. In the above picture, you can see that I'm holding the middle and that is called a "hook up connector." It connects two products together so that it's one sleek cylindrical system. It makes it very easy to carry two products in a easy way.
