This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

NYC New York Color Cosmetics Expert Last Lip Lacquers

Currently I’m in love with NYC New York Color Cosmetics Expert Last Lip Lacquer ($3.99) and questioning why I have never tried them before this!?

Expert Last Lip Lacquer is a liquid lip lacquer that launches about a year ago in several sahdes to the NYC New York Color Cosmetics permanent collection. More recently a few new shades for Spring 2015 launched which is one reason I’ve taken slight notice of them.

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Foundation Review & Swatches

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Foundation

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Foundation ($7) is a new Invisible Camouflage Foundation launching with the Hard Candy Spring/Summer 2015 Collection that will be available in 8 permanent shade selections.

Hi, I’m the Muse, I’m a foundation and concealer snob. If there is one thing in the makeup world I believe in splurging on it would be 1. foundation and 2. concealer. I am under the impression that I cannot for the life of me not only find a color match from drugstore foundations or concealers but also find a formula I actually LIKE using. Some are too heavy, some too cakey, others are orange, too beige…it’s just a sea of foundations that just do not work for me. Rarely am I able to actually find a foundation product at the drugstore that I’m happy with! Likewise for concealer (although the drugstore concealer world has been making some huge strides lately)!

I present you with Hard Candy Glamoflauge Foundation and challenge you to buy it and use it. And proceed to love it.

Bare Minerals Pop of Passion Lip Oil-Balm Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Bare Minerals Pop of Passion Lip balm

Bare Minerals Pop of Passion Lip Oil-Balm ($16) eight shade selection of tinted lip balms that give a flush of color to lips with a hint of shine and hydration. I’m a lover of Bare Minerals Loud & Clear Lip Sheers so when I saw the new Pop of Passion Lip Oil-Balms I was quite excited. Loud & Sheer’s formula is a lot less pigmented with a moist, shiny natural hint of color! I love them but I have to admit Pop of Passion does it even better.

Take a look!
