Guerlain - Khol Me Brown
My Christmas goodies consist mostly of Chanel, its becoming quite an obsession. I got the Holiday quad which i find pretty difficult to work with and the colors not very complimenting for my yellow undertone and dark hair. The majority of the colors have a pinkiness to them and its pretty annoying. Next i got the Tweed Fuchsia, which is absolutely a must-have, its breath taking. I thought it would be too bright on me, but its not. And its buildable. It also doubles as a highlighter and photographs beautifully. The next two items are from the Chanel summer collection and are limited edition. I hunted around and found them at some stores lol! Bondi Lipstick, and Nouvelle Vague Nail Polish yay!!! Im soo glad i didn't have to order them off ebay!! Next i wanted a matte bronzer and i've finally fell in love with Hoola. During the summer its too light, and i like a little shimmer. But right now its perfect. Got Flowerbomb, a lil baby w a large refill, just because i can be a little fickle with fragrance. A T3 curling iron which i am loving, its helping tame my wild mane which is a work in progress. And lastly found at a CCO, Frankly Fresh from the Mac Liberty of London collection. I really LOVE the consistency of the other two i have which are English Accents and Perennial High Style. They are really creamy with no sparkle. This one is creamy, but it has a shimmer to it so its a bit stickier and dryer consistency, but i still love the warm nudey color.

Hello ladies.... I'm on a mission to find a lengthening and voluminous mascara. First on my list was the MUFE Smokey Lash. This to me was a blacker thicker version of Loreal Voluminous. It looked very dramatic on because my lashes were very thick and black, but it did nothing for length:( My lashes looked caked and stubby. So next was the much anticipated, for me at least, Benefit Badgal Lash. If your looking for feathery fluttery lashes this is the tube for you!! But alas, i am not. I found I really had to work with it to get any desired effect, which was long fluttery thick lashes. It never really turned out that way unfortunately all i got was flutter.
I decided to tone it down this week and i was thinking pink!! Sephora by OPI - Dear Diary
Hello ladies... well i figured i'd just get this one out of the way:) Bella Swan's makeup in Twilight. I loved her makeup in the movie so i started researching on the internet who her makeup artist was and what products she used. This was my first bite of the addict apple. I learned it was a Mac makeup artist and she used Mac Blot Powder in Light, Mac e/s Blanc Type, Flute, and Wedge, Benefit Badgal WP Mascara, Benefit l/s Good-to-go. But that was the extent of the information... so the rest im playing by ear from watching the movie. Her skin is very light and matte with some contouring and sutle highlight. I used Nars Sheer Glow foundation, Mac e/s Wedge to contour and Benefit High Beam to highlight my cheek bones. On my cheeks i very lightly put Mac blush Angel. My eyes: Blanc Type all over the lid, Wedge in the crease, Phloof to highlight browbone. Then to line my eyes i used a silvery e/s color Gorgeous l/e. It really helps to brighten and draw your attention to the eyes, but not too sparkley just a little shimmer. I didn't have Bad Gal lash so i used Clinique High Impact mascara. You don't really want a volumizing mascara you want it to look natural. Then on my lips i used Good-to-go. Not too bad i think:)
