  • Haul/Rediscoveries: Giorgio Armani Redwood (missing shade) Lip Maestro, new Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipsticks (not that I don’t have hundreds of lip colors I should be swatching + reviewing already), Laura Mercier Illuminator Trio, Too Faced Gingerbread Extra Spicy, Urban Decay Perversion Pencil (it was on sale)
  • Weekend plans: I was chatting with my mom earlier this week, and she mentioned that she didn’t know what to get me for my birthday, and she looked up ticket costs to fly out for the weekend but couldn’t bare to pay full price. Hearing about it just made me really, really miss my mom (this might be the longest stretch I’ve gone without seeing my parents). My husband secretly texted my mom and told her he’d pay for the tickets, but my mom being my mom didn’t want anyone spending that kind of money on tickets. SO now my parents are driving out–a 12-hour drive to and a 12-hour drive back!–to spend two days with me.
  • Share a fond childhood memory?: I have a poor memory, especially for things that happened to me in the past, but one of the few childhood memories I have is of going to a local dairy farm, seeing the cows and always getting bubblegum ice cream (and I’d spit out all of the bubblegum pieces). This was back in Massachusetts so I was under five at the time, and every time I’ve gone back to Massachusetts, we try to go (and it’s cool that it’s still there!) to the dairy farm.

Anastasia x Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

-
Image
Jackie Aina Anastasia Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette ($45.00 for 0.392 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that features 14 shades across three Pressed Pigments and 11 eyeshadows in various finishes, from matte to pearl to metallic. Where this palette shines is in its cohesive, yet versatile, color scheme. The left side of the palette has a pink/purple vibe, while the right side is warmer, earthier with taupe and green brown. There’s a nice mix of depth, undertone, and finish to create many looks. The mattes in the palette are some of the brand’s best; they had some of the soft, lightly powdery nature that most expect from the brand’s formula, but I had hardly any fallout from the mattes and found them to be quite pigmented and blendable overall. A couple of the shimmers seemed a bit too loosely-pressed, but as long as you’re someone who doesn’t mind applying with fingertips or a wet brush (or if you normally use a tacky base), I don’t expect that to be a deal-breaker.

MAC Cheer Up Glow Play Blush Review & Swatches

-
Image
Cheer Up MAC Cheer Up Glow Play Blush ($30.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a brighter, light-medium coral with subtle, pink-leaning and moderately warm undertones paired with a satin sheen. There was very faint and fine pearl throughout, so it didn’t have a full-on matte finish but did not appear overly shimmery either. The texture was smooth to the touch and malleable where I could push against the surface and get a lasting indent, but it didn’t have the traditional wetness of a true cream blush. It felt more like powder once it came into contact with my skin, and I didn’t have issues with the product lifting up base products when I patted this over my liquid foundation. It had semi-opaque, buildable coverage with a fingertip and more semi-sheer, buildable coverage with a brush. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly. MAC Glow Play Blushes launch February 6th and will be available in 11 shades; see the collection information here . Top Dupes Formula Overview Ingredients

YSL Rose Nu, Rose Blazer, Plum Tunique Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Sticks Reviews & Swatches

-
Image
Rose Nu (88) YSL Rose Nu (88) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a natural sheen. The lipstick yielded medium color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and didn’t settle into or emphasize my lip lines, despite being a creamier, more emollient formula. It felt lightweight and was comfortable to apply and to wear as it felt like a balm-lipstick hybrid. It lasted well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
