UD naked palette




YAY!
After months of searching Sephora with no luck, I ordered my UD Naked palette from Phylicia at Expensive Pink.
Got it for about half the price too!
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the outside it this amazing purple velvet. Ouuu lala, how luxurious!
I finally see what all the hype was about! Beautiful for creating neutral and smokey eye looks, I definitely want to purchase the full size products because I'm sure to fun out soon.
 I got this photo from Bakes Beauty Blog because I'm sure you've all seen the Naked swatches before, no point in making new ones!
The only think I would note is that the last two shades are a lot more blue than they appear in the photo.
Anyway, I just waned to share my complete freakin' excitement about getting this in the mail.
YAYYY. Anyone else head over heels with this? Let me know

HAUL : Drugstore & Sephora



This post is definitely a bit overdue! But here are some goodies I picked up at the mall recently♥
Rimmel Lipstick in Pink Blush: I love Rimmel lipsticks. They're my favourite, other than MAC. This is a light pink lipstick with blue tones. I dont usually like blue tones pinks, but I must admit, this looks great on me!
Boots No.7 Lipstick in Sienna: Coral/Red. Very pin-up!
NYX Eyeshadow in Africa: An orange eyeshadow through & through. The flecks of glitter look huge but as you can see in the swatches, they aren't that noticeable.
L'Oreal Blush in Innocent Flush: Really Sheer Pinky Peach. Nice for a subtle flush :)
Wet n Wild Bronzer in Princess: Okay, this is honestly my new favourite bronzer. It's SO pigmented and a a verrry sexy colour ;) Reminds me a ton on MAC Refined Golden, but for only 4 dollars. Seriously you should go out and get this! FOTD coming soon with this!
 

Sephora Brand Primer: This gives you a pretty glow! I wouldnt use it all over during summer, I love it as a highlight under my foundation though.
Smashbox Gloss in Pout: Very blue tones baby pink. On the fence about it as of now!
NARS Turkish Delight: Um need I say more? Heheh. Milky peach pink and am currently looking for a dupe for an  upcoming post!
 
Swatches
Top to Bottom: Boots No 7 Sienna, Rimmel Pink Blush, NARS Barbarella.
NYX Africa, wet N Wild Princess, Loreal Innocent Flush.

Revlon's Peach Nectar Nail Polish!

Hi girls!
So I've been feeling quite festive now that spring is finally in the air♥
I painted my nails a wonderful pastel peach colour called Peach Nectar by Revlon.
It's quite sheer, and took 3 coats for complete opacity .




The amazing thing about this nail polish is that I haven't even been wearing a protective Top Coat over it! It's been about one week and I don't even have a chip! Okay, well I have one small chip, but i think its incredible that It's lasted this long with no top coat!
Im also rocking some pastel pink on my toes as well, hehe! It's called Tickled Pink & it's by Wet N Wild.
Post your fave spring nail colours!! I'd love to know :)

Annabelle Spring 2011 Collection...YAY

SO excited about this collection! I went to get some alcohol and ended up detouring to look at makeup..obviously haha. For those who haven't heard of Annabelle, they are a Canadian company that sells only at Shoppers Drug Mart, and is medium priced. The glosses cost me $10 :)
They sort of remind me of MAC, with the whole sassy, sexy, attitude thing.

Loved the glosses, Annabelle usually makes very shimmery lip products and the matte finish is a nice change
From right to left: Missy Miss and Dollywood.

I Wasn't overly impressed with the eyeshadows, they were a bit powdery and the colour payoff could have been better. Annabelle does makes great loose eyeshadows though!

I ended up getting the peach gloss called "Missy Miss". I would have normally opted for pink, but it reminded me a ton of Mac Viva Glam GaGa. So low & behold..I got home and swatched the 2 and they are really similiar! Viva glam is more pigmented though.
 Viva Glam is at the top. Dupe alert?
