OVERALL, some of the palettes offer long-time MAC fans colors they haven't seen before. As always, the warm palette suckered me in, though I'll use it once or twice and it'll get forgotten--I just know it! The lip palettes were surprising, because I've never been too drawn to them before, but I...
MAC Cosmetics' Passions of Red collection is out! See more swatches!
Bobbi Brown's Night Sky Long-Wear Eye Palette ($55.00) is offered as a holiday temptation! This palette includes Rockstar and Ocean long-wear cream shadow as well as Black Ink and Thunder Storm long-wear gel eyeliner. I am a big fan of Bobbi Brown's long-wear gel eyeliner; I find it's a bit...
Bobbi Brown's Lip & Eye Palette ($60.00) is a limited edition set of four lip colors and four eyeshadows for the holiday season. When you first open the palette, it reveals four lip colors (Berry Mauve, Pink Sequin, Dusty Mauve, and Ruby). The eyeshadows slide out from a drawer beneath them. You...
From Dior's Black Diamond Holiday Collection, this is what Black Sequins looks like! :) It's this really intense, dark black with chunky silver glittery bits. It doesn't try 100% smooth, because the glitter is thick. I think it makes a great sophisticated black polish for the wintertime. It isn't a...
The TRIA Laser ($995.00) is an at-home permanent hair removal device created to mimic the laser treatments done in dermatologist offices. The story behind TRIA is to give women a way to get the benefits of light-based hair removal in the privacy of their own home. The gold standard used in...
Philosophy's Haunted House ($30.00) is a three-piece set of three perfectly fall scents: Pumpkin Spice, Black Licorice, and Caramel Apple. I love, love, LOVE Philosophy's shower gels (which also double as a shampoo and bubble bath). I prefer to use them as shower gels...
OVERALL, Sheer Minerals is a collection that will appeal to many. It has the coveted mineralize skinfinishes in Petticoat and So Ceylon, plus permament and newcomer Soft & Gentle. Several mineralize duos are back in action, though those aren't really up my alley, despite looking so pretty when...
OVERALL, Adoring Carmine didn't impress me like it originally did when I saw the promo photos for the launch. The packaging just isn't as sleek and luxe as it looked in the images. Instead, the bright patent red portion of the bag looks too much for me. I also found that most of the lipsticks...
OVERALL, Red She Said is a large collection with plenty of things to choose from. I think the highlight from the collection were the beauty powder blushes; talk about a powder that feels softer than silk. I know that beauty powder blushes had a great texture from before, but I don't remember them...
