Makeup Review- New Collections at MAC

Makeup Reviews- New Collections at MAC

Though it always exciting when MAC puts out new collections and products, I was particularly thrilled when I checked their site and saw the wide range of products which are now available. MAC has always been one of my favorite companies, with their affordable prices and top-quality products, what’s not to love? Everything from light and feminine pastels to vibrant 80′s colors which seen to be gracing the runway more and more this season can be found in their five new collections.

Makeup Review- Eye, Lip & Cheek Palette at The Body Shop

Makeup Review- Eye, Lip & Cheek Palette at The Body Shop

No matter what I might be shopping for, ‘Back to School’ sales always catch my interest. So naturally I was happy when I went onto The Body Shop the other week and saw the link to ‘Back to School’ sales. Among The Body Shop’s wide variety of sale items (for both him and her), I saw the Eye, Lip & Cheek Palette, and immediately purchased it. I was satisfied as soon as it arrived. Its size was convenient to fit into a purse for touch-ups or on-the-go beauty, and everything I could have needed was in the kit! The kit (which would be suitable for all skin tones and ages), included a super volume mascara, two liquid lip colors (in Pale Pink Sparkle and Golden Coral), Blush in Golden Pink, and three eye shadows (in Silver, Shell Pink, Spearmint, and Slate). Along with all these colors the kit also comes with a two mini blush and eye shadow brushes and a mirror on the top lid. The makeup lasted long, so using this handy little touch-up kit wasn’t really necessary, though the mirror did come in handy when I needed to check my face. Click below to view and purchase product.

Makeup Tool Review- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

Makeup Tool Review- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

As a person who really likes to play up my eyes, I can not imagine feeling as though my makeup regimine has been completed if my eyelashes havent been curled. The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is my far the best brand I have tried. It fits comfortably in my hands and the siloicone pad curls my eyelashes without damaging them. I have several friends who I have recommended this to, and they also were very satisfied with the results, even though their eye shapes are different then mine.

Also, right now at sephora five samples are given with every order (the link takes you sephora). This offer is vailid through August 4th.
