MAC Holiday '08 Passions of Red: A Review
11/15/08 at 11:05PM
NOTE: Click HERE for swatches. I've had the chance to play with my eye palettes (Warm and Cool), and let me say that I am more impressed with the color choices and pigmentation of this year's palettes than last year's. The colors of this year's Coo...
OPI, Essie and China Glaze Polish Swatches
11/14/08 at 09:58AM
Okay, first, the haul. I got these for free. Well, sort of. These were from a nice lady who sells nail polish on eBay, and I got these fresh, never been used, brand-new polishes from a swap with her. I was giddy with excitement when I saw the pol...
Pinks and Reds Using Aromaleigh
11/13/08 at 02:31PM
Here is one more look using some pinks from Aromaleigh. I really like Aromaleigh's shadows because they remind me of MAC pigments in color but not texture-wise. The shadows are very pigmented and they have a lot of highlights and lowlights that bri...

11/12/08 at 10:42AM
I have not posted this yet, but here is my mini-haul from Lumiere before the site closed down temporarily. I bought the following: silk blushes in Au Naturale, Cherry Blossom and Mimosa (I loved the wide jars with see-through lids; so chic!), multi-...
Twilight The Movie - And MAC Cosmetics
11/11/08 at 03:21PM
Honestly? I am not a Twilighter - yet. I have bought the book but I have yet to read it. My cousin is so in love with these books that she even attended a Twilighter Moms' meet-and-greet in NYC! I love books, but I am not really into vampires. M...
Stila Eyeshadow Quad and Brushes at Costco
11/10/08 at 08:45PM
So my family and I trekked to Costco yesterday to stock up on Cetaphil cream (not lotion, but the cream in tubs). It's almost winter and Cetaphil cream is the only product that puts winter itchies at bay for my DH and DS. I knew there were some hig...
OPI Nail Polish Swatches
11/09/08 at 09:46AM
Hello lovelies! Here are some swatches I took of my new OPI loot. I got a very pretty, discontinued brown shade from eBay called Los Angeles Latte, and for me it's one of those really nice browns for the office. It makes the nails look clean, under...
Looks Using Earthen Glow Minerals
11/08/08 at 01:25PM
Here are some looks using mostly Earthen Glow Minerals. I really like the texture of its blushes and shadows. They are very easy to blend even when foiled. It has a myriad of colors of blushes and shadows to choose from. The biggest winner of EG ...
Happy Mail Day Part 2: Aromaleigh Bete Noire Eyeshadows
11/06/08 at 08:53AM
My Aromaleigh shadow samples have arrived!! I didn't expect much from this collection (being a true-blue fan of the Gothic Lolitas), but I was thrilled when I got to swatch these. Kristen has made another batch of winners in this collection. I love...
Happy Mail Day Part I
11/05/08 at 09:48PM
It was a happy mail day today as I received no less than three packages. I'll divide the haul into two parts. First of all, I got this from a swap I had with a nice girl: I am really liking this pigment from MAC called Pink Pearl. It's one of...
