L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Blush Review, Swatches, Photos

LOreal Magic Smooth Souffle Blush 6

My understanding is Maybelline is dicing their Dream Mousse Blush. If you’re partial to it and are curled in a little ball crying your eyes out at its possible demise its ok, here’s a tissue, now clean your eyes and rejoice in L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Blush. I’m pretty sure this isn’t LE and should cure your cravings for Dream Mousse.

K?

Happy now?

Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation Review, Swatches, Photos

Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation 2

Seriously, doesn’t Koh Gen Do evoke images of Pat Morita telling Ralph Macchio to wax on, wax off!

Don’t hate on me but I was a total cheerleader for the Cobra Kai bastards, what? Daniel was just so annoying at times I wanted to bitch slap him.

Koh Gen Do may sound like the intricate art of karate but it’s actually a makeup collection that recently launched at Sephora and Sephora.com.

Take a look!

Covergirl Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation 1

Covergirl & Olay products don’t generally work for me and I don’t have a great track record with them but I was a bit curious about the new Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation which promises to reduce the look of discolorations as well as fine lines and wrinkles with a built in primer and serum.

Let’s take a peek.

Tarte The Starlet Makeup Vanity Review, Swatches, Photos

After blogging a few years, Holiday Collections tend to run all together. Seems like brands get more and more repetitive each year with their special sets, palettes, and collections.

Not Tarte.

They had a winning Holiday Season as far as I’m concerned and to add even more joy to their Holiday Collection they released a completely revised version of their traditional “Jewelry” palette.

This year, Tarte’s Starlet Makeup Vanity took an entirely different path and introduced a selection of great shades arranged in such a way that application was a snap and packaging was so beautifully it made us sigh in delight.

Did you purchase this one?

DuWop Venom Carousel DuWop Crush 3 Palette

DuWop Venom Carousel DuWop Crush 3 Palette 001

My kingdom of makeup for the DuWop Crush 3 Eyeshadow Palette.

I loved the original DuWop Crush Trio that was introduced 100 years ago so you can imagine my utter delight that DuWop has taken the idea and times it by three and came up with not three, not six, but nine shades of shadow in three trios housed in one palette.

Joy!

Santa is so gifting me this one and throw in the DuWop Venom Carousel too for good measure why dontcha?

I’ve been naughty nice all year!
