2010 Beauty Favorites - A Tag
Steph of http://meibelle.blogspot.com tagged me for a beauty survey! It's not too late right? I mean the Academy Awards don't even go on until February...
Questions:
1-Which lipstick/ lipgloss did you use most often in 2010?
Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipstick in Spotlight Beige - soon to be discontinued?
2-What was your favorite eyeshadow this year?
Crazy but I didn't really have a favorite. I would say my Milani Liquif Eye liner in Black is my favorite eyeliner though!
3-What product for the complexion (foundation, blush, etc.,) did you use the most?
Foundation: Make Up For Ever HD- It lasts about 6 hours on me. The skin looks smooth when it's first applied. I've purchased this twice already!

September Favorites
My favorites for September. First time doing this!
Chanel Jade Rose Polish - My first polish spurlge! It's a beautiful light peach-pink nude cream color. It's the first polish that I wanted to keep wearing and stare at in a long time. There's gotta be a reason why this was released a second time! It originally came out with that Jade green polish that overshadowed this one. This year it came out with Paradoxal which also stole the spotlight. I even love this polish so much I need to get a backup. You can probably still find this at your local Macy's or Dillard's. And if you want to try a dupe...
Milani Bare in Mind Polish - This is close but not a dupe for Jade Rose. It's more pink toned and has slightly more shimmer. It's not exactly a favorite but it's still pretty!
Long handled mirror - I originally got a small mirror like this from Maggie's giveaway, and since I liked it so much I searched for a bigger one! It probably sounds stupid but the "design" of long-handled mirrors seems much more practical and easier to use than clam shell ones. Having a grip is nice and the mirror's not in the way.
Mac Notoriety Quad -Seeing that I liked Skintone 2 and Notoriety from the Felines collection I did some research and found that they are repromotes from this quad! I tracked it down on ebay for about $25ish including shipping which is similar to a CCO price I think. Yay for me! I really like the neutral colors in this.
Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Negligee Pink 256 - It gives a beautiful pink glow to my lips. It's instant LOVE with this pricey gloss. It's opaque enough to wear alone even on my pigmented lips! <3<3
Dior diorshow Extase - I've been having fun playing with the sample. It works pretty well on my lashes. I'm not too picky. Thanks Cat! <3
Nars Orgasm Blush - I got this in a blogsale from Amy and I love it! Really lives up to the hype!
Rock and Republic shader brush - The cut on this brush is nice so that it picks up shadows really well. I like how thin it is too. I was not looking for a fluffy one. This brush is perfect! It's not worth the retail price though.
That's it for September. Thinking of doing a September Returns/Misses.

Hautelook Rock and Republic sale BLUSHES
Oooh ah it's that time again for a Rock and Republic SALE! If you don't know by now these are highly coveted blushes and they only come on sale every once in awhile. So when you see them you've just got to grab it up! They've been on Hautelook and Editor's Closet so far for 40-50% off retail. Right now they are 50% off retail ($40) which brings it down to $20. Sale event ends: Wed, 7/14 at 8:00 AM PT
You know how everyone was always talking about Nars blushes blah blah the big O blush. Well these are the new hot blush if haven't noticed. Smooth and silky, highly pigmented, lush packaging, and will last a very long time.
EDITED - DEAL IS OVER
If you have any questions, please ask in the comments and leave your email so I can respond back to you! I just wanted to leave you with some pics of my purchase from editor's closet. :D It took a really long time from editor's closet due to an error on their part. I've noticed that their website has very much improved so I don't think I would have to wait that long next time. Now Hautelook shipping does take a long time too. R&R will ship the inventory to Hautelook and then they will pack the items and ship it to you.
I love the weighty packaging! It's so luxe!
This is Spank. SPANK! what an awesome name. I got lots of spanking as a child. Maybe even as an older child, lol.
CALL ME. The "better than Orgasm" blush. :D
See how much product this is? 9 grams for pete's sake!
Let me know down below what you have or what you want to buy!
I want to buy atleast ONE more.. probably bedroom?

EOTD with prep for colour
So I picked up two shadows from Mac's collection, Prep for Colour, that came out recently. I got Hey and Prepped for Glamour. Hey is a Veluxe Pearl which I like and Glamour is a Frost finish which is just okay. I'm more used to the softer shadows which veluxe pearls are. When I got Hey I was frustrated b/c it looked just like All that Glitters which was my first Mac Shadow and Prepped for Glamour is supposed to be close to Satin Taupe. I don't have Satin Taupe but it was on my list of shadows to buy. So I finally buy some shadows and they end up being dupes? ugh, they did not have all that glitters and satin taupe at the store (lost!) so I couldn't do a comparison. I've seen swatches online but I'd like to see it in person.
Originally I liked All that Glitters but the more I look at Hey- the more I like it! It's still looks pink like All that Glitters but it's less red. Some say it's like Naked Lunch? I dunno. At first Hey wasn't soft like All that Glitters and it was pissing me off b/c my brush could not pick up and deposit it very well. Now I've messed with it enough to "break it in" and it's fine. Is this normal for Mac? So right now I'm not really liking All that Glitters anymore, and I may end up swapping it on MakeupAlley.
Then there's Prepped for Glamour. I'm not extremely happy about this color because I think pulls red when I put it on my eyelid too. I've read that Satin Taupe is more purple and that's what I've been looking for. So dang- I might just swap this for Satin Taupe... The last thing a poor girl needs are mac dupes. [karlasugar swatches]
In order to get a photo that had any resemblance to what it looks like I had to sit in front of a window even though it washed me out and makes me look like I have no eyeshadow on. But it is what it is...
MAC Shroom as highlight, Hey in inner corner, and Prepped for Glamour in outer crease.
MUFE black liner top, maroon (bottom), and Estee Lauder mascara (weak)
When looking at this photo I realize I need to tight-line and re-curl my lashes! oops.
MAC Peach Ombre blush- I love this blush!
Rose studs in denim blue. I've got a few new colors in! They go quickly.
