Laura Mercier Naked Rose Lip Velvet

Laura Mercier Naked Rose Lip Velvet ($22.00) is a brick-brown nude. Like Mocha Rouge, the color is difficult to describe, but it's most certainly not what I'd think of when I read "Naked Rose." (I would have expected a pink-y shade, maybe a beige-y pink!)

Going Gray?  Chanel Particuliere Nail Lacquer

Last week, I reviewed the majority of Chanel's Spring collection, which includes three new nail lacquers, but I only reviewed Inattendu and Tendresse and was missing Particuliere ($23.00), which is easily the more interesting shade of the three (Inattendu...

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...

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Lipglasses

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: Tinted Lip Conditioners

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...
