MAC Brooke Shields Lipstick

MAC Gospel Lipstick ($22) is a limited edition MAC Lustre Lipstick that launched with the MAC x Brooke Shields Collection. I’m not sure this shade brings thoughts of Brooke to my mind but as a fan of the Lustre finish I was kinda all about it.

Too Faced Under the Mistletoe Set Review & Swatches

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

Too Faced Under the Mistletoe

The Too Faced Under the Mistletoe Set ($28) is a new, limited edition set of La Creme Shimmering Lip Cream Lipsticks that launched with the Too Faced Holiday 2014 Collection.

I suspect this set is a launch pad for the new La Creme Shimmering Lip Cream formula as one of the shades will apparently get a re-release with the Too Faced Spring 2015 Collection so perhaps, just maybe we’ll see more of the La Creme Shimmering Lip Cream formula in the future.

the Balm Nude Dude Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

the Balm Nude Dude

the Balm Nude Dude Eyeshadow Palette Volume 2 is a new permanent eyeshadow palette that the Balm has introduced for Fall/Holiday 2014 that contains 12 shades of shadow, a brush, and a full size the Balm Body Builder Mascara. Yes, this is kinda a Nude’Tude Eyeshadow Palette Volume 2 of sorts!

I think everyone gets terribly excited when the Balm launches a new eyeshadow palette! For myself, I know I was very excited about the Balm Nude Due Eyeshadow Palette because it housed a ton of pretty natural shades but also because I can grab it up easily at Kohl’s! Don’t worry it’ll be available on the Balm’s website shortly and but as of now it’s available at kohls.com and will pop up in store soon as well!

I sure do miss the Balm at Sephora but I’m every so delighted they are available at Kohl’s now! Sometimes it’s nice being able to grab your fav brand in store versus waiting for an online shipment ya know?
