When I was younger, I tried cream shadows (drugstore brand, of course, as I was not so cosmetically-inclined as I am now) and hated them. They were sticky, they creased, and they were hard to apply. Because of that, I always stayed away from cream shadows. Even when Benefit tempted me with a shade of their Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners called “Skinny Jeans” (how fabulous) I resisted.
My sister gave me an Ulta gift card for my birthday, and I could resist no longer. I picked up Benefit’s Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Birthday Suit and Skinny Jeans. I had to take a leap of faith and try them.

If you thought Urban Decay’s Primer Potion was the best eyeshadow base you’ve ever tried…
You were wrong.
Enter Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden, the newest addition to UD’s family of primers. This product is everything we love about UD’s original PP: it goes on smoothly, doesn’t let shadows budge or crease, and a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. But Eden brings a little something extra to the table.

So I’m kind of in love.
NYX is the brand that got me into make-up. Back when I felt too guilty to spend tons of cash on cosmetics, I discovered NYX and was hooked instantly. After falling in love over and over again with prestige brand after prestige brand, I kind of lost interest in NYX. These new primers have snapped me back.

Hello darlings! Long time no see, I know. This post is a little late as I received my MAC Viva Glam Lipstick in GaGa only a few days after it was released (which was what, 3, 4 weeks ago?) but better late than never, right?
I’d never tried a MAC lipstick with the lustre finish and to be honest was pretty nervous about it because I hate shimmery or glittery lips. To my surprise and delight, however, I found that this lipstick was neither shimmery or glittery, but creamy with a little pop. It’s a lovely little light pink that’s not too bright and really looks great with blue eyes. I wore this shade with a very neutral eye but have also found it successful with a smokey eye.

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with OPI’s Alice in Wonderland inspired collection. Mostly because there are only 4 shades, and two of them are red. I really dislike red nail polish on me. But Mad as a Hatter looked fun and interesting, so I picked it up.
