Five Products That Changed My Beauty World
MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator>> This review was recently posted, so it seems redundant to espouse its merits yet again, but I can't help it. By far one of my favorite products I've purchased this year.
MAC Mineralize Blush>> These blushes are subtle, natural,...
What is your biggest skin concern? Acne? Crow's feet? Frown lines? Evenness?
The "star product" for Lancome's Maharani Jewels collection for fall (already out) is their Poudre Elephant Teint, which is meant to be used as a bronzer. When I swatched it, it went on as a very peachy kind of color with lots of gold sheen and a few gold flecks. I imagine the peachiness is what I got...

Gorgeous goes global with Maharani Jewels. Lancome's latest color collection pays homage to India, where the beauty brand opened last year. Many of the makeup shades and creations seen floating down the catwalk recently were reminiscent of the...

OVERALL, the new Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolours present an interesting alternative to the clear/mirror gloss coat they had in the past. The new shades are diverse from existing shades, which is great since MAC hasn't come out with new shades in what seems like forever! Also, Alta Moda? It's here! I...
OVERALL, Starflash is a new eyeshadow texture, and the collection brings out nine shadows for you to drool over. The Starflash texture is very much like the veluxe pearl texture, albeit with some frost thrown in. I felt like the neutrals had the best texture, because they went on smoothly and...
Swatches from Lustre Twins! Unfortunately, my Nordstrom's was missing two of them (Boss Brown/Slave to Pink and G*psy Rose/Shimmer It) and $$$$$ Yes nail lacquer.
Check out the rest!
Swatches of the Starflash eyeshadows for your perusal! Review to follow. :)
See the rest!
MAC Cosmetics Lustre Twins Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour | July 31st, 2008
Not just lip service, we nailed it too! Nine new shades of Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour with new sheer-pigment topcoats and three Nail Lacquer partners. Glossed over a base that offers more long-life hours, and a...
Hey all! Could you do me a favor and tell me what you think of this description format? I tried to combine what suggestions you have all given to me. In terms of majority, the more explanatory version won, and not sure if everyone saw the edit, but the explanatory version did include dupes for LE...
I have a large amount of MAC products. I fully admit to my addiction, and I enjoy it to the fullest. Makeup is not just a hobby, but it is actually a job (you know, the blog, is now a semi-career that I'm carving out for myself) that I love and enjoy. Needless to say, to function as an addict, I...
Somme Institute Mobile Travel Kit ($85.00) is the best way to try out Somme Institute's 5-Step System without breaking the bank (plus, it is TSA compliant). The kit includes their Nourishing Cleanser, Transport, Serum, A-Bomb, and Double Defense products.
To get to where they are today, they evaluated...

LUSH'S LATEST | I know we have some Lushies on Temptalia, and I love me some Lush myself. Â Here's some recent happenings with the brand!
Porridge Soap ($5.95 for 1/4 lb) uses wholesome oats to help soothe your skin and scented with molasses. This product is great for those who suffer from eczema,...
Global Goddess 'Goddess Glow' South Pacific Shimmer ($32.00) looked like a really pretty glowy blusher-highlighter. I was drawn to it because of the designs found on top of the powder, but unfortunately, the design really is just on top. The white line pattern disappears as soon as your brush hits the...
For months, I have been drawn to Global Goddess' products, because they just look so pretty. I recently received a few items from the brand to try out, and I am glad that I didn't fork over the bucks myself. The review will follow this entry, so you can read about my experience with it, but suffice...

Last week, when I shared with you what I kept in my shower, I briefly told you of the merits of MAC's Volcanic Ash Exfoliator ($19.00). It's such a great product that it deserves its own, official review. Volcanic Ash is both a foaming and exfoliating scrub, which makes it different from the typical...
Note: This is what is known as a quick tutorial - it'll show you color placement and show you how a look comes together, but it doesn't focus as much on techniques and the like. If you've read several of my past tutorials, the techniques haven't changed :)
I used Vintage Gold pigment (LE) on inner...
