New MAC Lipsticks

Hi Beauties,

Here are some photos of 2 new lipsticks I picked up at MAC. I am on a no-eyeshadow purchasing period because I never really use the eyeshadows I own. So to make up for this, I'm leaning towards lipsticks and lipglosses now. lol

So here they are:

The first one is KINDA SEXY (matte): described as a neutral Pinky-rose on the MAC site. It is a very pretty 'everyday' color. I do like the matte finish from MAC because they don't look too dry on the lips. This one looked great with brown eyes.

The second one is CHATTERBOX (amplified):
It is a super bight pink color. The pigmentation on this one is awesome. I didnt really have to apply layers of it to show on my lips. I have a thing for Amplified Creme's from MAC because they feel so great, the are pretty pigmented and they don't dry out your lips.

XOXO,
Awilda

Here is another fan-ta-bulous color from the OPI South Beach Collection. It is a bright, super rich and creamy fuschia pink color. This one would look so great on toes during the summer. I am very happy with this color!

The application was a dream! Here's it is. Let me know what you think!

Bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Sugar Scrub

Hi Beauties!

Today, I couldn't help myself! I had to write a quick review on the Bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Sugar Scrub! First of all, this smells amazing! I simply cannot wait to get into my shower and try this stuff out!

I actually worked for Bliss a few years ago and quite honestly been unimpressed with scents from their body care line. Well, this scrub has made me a follower! Too bad I don't get my employee discount anymore! ha ha!

If you happen to be in a Sephora or even better, at a Bliss Spa, open this container and be addicted. The price tag is high but I'm pretty sure I'll get months of use out of 1 container. Besides, weekly exfoliating sessions do wonders for your skin. Who doesn't want a glow??

XOXO,
Awilda

NARS Haul : Laguna, Torrid and Exhibit A

Hi Beauties!

I recently did a NARS haul at sephora. I got a few things and I wanted to go over my thoughts with you on them.

First: Nars Laguna Bronzer

This is soooo pretty! For me it makes me look like I was sitting out in the sun for a few hours (in the middle of the winter, lol). I can see how a lot of people have said this makes them look 'dirty' because I do have to use a light hand on this one. But overall, a small application goes a long way. It doesn't make me look orange or dirty and it does work for me. I can see myself using this for a very long time since NARS products never seem to finish. FYI, I am MAC NC40 or MUFE HD #128.

Next: NARS blush in Torrid

This is my favorite blush for the moment. I've used it everyday since I bought it! It is more pigmented than NARS Deepthroat blush and that's really why I love it. It is everything that I wanted Deepthroat to be. It has just enough shimmer and I dont have to keep layering it on so that it shows up. In comparison, Deepthroat required multiple applications which resulted in very shimmery cheeks (not suitable for my daytime look).

Lastly: NARS blush in Exhibit A.

Wow! Can you say b-r-i-g-h-t?! This was such a gorgeous color that I new I had to get it. Unfortunaly, I thought this was going to be more on the sheer side like other NARS products I've tried. Not so much! This is full on color, 100% PIGMENTATION! When I dared to try this color at home, I used my small skunk brush (MAC #188) since I thought I would be able to build the color slowly. Well, 1 brush dip of this color was way too much on my skin. I looked like a clown. lol! This color will most likely be returned because I could never really use it. BUT, If you have a dark/warmer complexion this could be your HG blush.

XOXO,
Awilda

OPI : South Beach Collection "Done Out In Deco"

Hi Beauties,

So I did an OPI nail polish haul recently on the South Beach Collection. Attached is a photo of the first polish I used : Done Out In Deco. It is a soft lavender color and it looks sooo nice on! I received at least 5 compliments from the girls at work this week!

So here it is. This is a great color and I think it would look awesome on medium, tan, olive and dark skin gals.

XOXO,
Awilda
