The Scarlet Season: Rimmel Temptation Lipstick

Rimmel Temptation Lasting Finish Lipstick ($5.19) is a bold, ruby red with subtle red shimmer (very fine!). It's creamy, opaque, and wears for a good four or five hours. Even when it does fade, it leaves behind a nice stain...

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Round-up

OVERALL, Warm & Cozy is a nice collection to see in the dreary, cold winter season. It's not my favorite launch ever, and if you aren't into the shades, there's not much to do about it. It's like the lipsticks, lipglasses, and...

At first glance, I thought I would be really in love with the lipglasses, but they weren't as much my cup of tea as I had hoped. My favorite was definitely Light That Fire, while 2N was next.

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Eyeshadows

Four brown-hued shades of eyeshadow debuted in the Warm & Cozy Collection. On my skin (probably around NC20 for the underside of my arm -- which is where I do swatches), they were all fairly faint. You can see the color, but they're...

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Nail Lacquers

Two very opposite shades of nail lacquer come along with Warm & Cozy Collection.

  • Blissed Out is a creamy beige with just a touch of pink. It's more beige than pink, and it has a very creamy finish, but there seems...

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Mineralize Skinfinishes

I know many of you were excited to see two new skinfinishes join the Warm & Cozy Collection. I've never been able to jump on the mineralize skinfinish train with all my heart, but some of them are nicer than...

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Shadesticks

MAC is definitely bringing back shadesticks with a vengeance, don't you think? With five limited edition shades from Sugarsweet and four new (but still limited edition) shades from Warm & Cozy, it makes me...
