SWATCHES: MAC cool reserve nail polish and NYC dark brown waterproof eye pencil

MAC Cool Reserve:

I loved the color of this nail polish when I first got it. I thought it was edgy and unique; kind of like Sephora's Metro Chic, but more purple. Since I was on a kick of that smokey purple-gray color (I've been using MAC Shale eyeshadow for the past few days nonstop), I decided to pick up this polish when MAC launched it.

Now the color just seems sort of blah (might be my skin tone: NC30. i think it'd look more flattering on paler skin tones..), and the formula is awful! I don't know if you can tell in the photos, but the nail polish will apply streak-free and near perfect looking and then once it dries, i look in the sun or outdoors and there are random spots that are sheerer where it looks i barely polished when i did.

Because of that, i would not recommend this.

Swatches:

NYC bronzer review

After hearing tons of raves about NYC bronzer, I decided to try it out. for $3, i figured i should try it, esp since my sephora bronzer was getting a little too orange now that im becoming paler with fall upon us.

I do like this a lot so far, but am not completely wowed by it like everybody else seems to be. its a good bronzer, but not amazing. i need to find a good technique for this too! with a kabuki, its too heavy, but im liking it with my powder brush. im gonna try it with my skunk tomorrow and see how that workss :)

this one is in 720a matte sunny- i didnt see any other colors so i grabbed this one.

what are your favorite bronzers?

favorites of the week- MAC lightflush and NYX milk :)

Hey girls! thank you for your tons of emails of support about beofre.

it blew over, but i have to admit, i WAS considering deleting my entire blog

but im back now :)

anyways, here are my favorites of this week:

first off, MAC light flush<3

(these pics are with and without flash)

after being in the bottom of my makeup train case, i rediscovered this and decided to pull it out.

its gorgeous on its own or layered over blush; gorgeous baby pink highlight :)

NYX Milk

I picked this up from ulta this week

(the left is the pencil before it was smudged out, on the right it is smudged out)

I use a thin layer of this and apply it on my lid OVER a base. it helps my colors POP and become so much more vibrant! i love this and will pick up other colors within the next few weeks :)

what are your favorite colored bases? paintpots, nyx jumbo pencils, etc? im looking for some new ones :)

fave blushes this past month :)

hellllo my loveliesss x

here are my top 5 blushes of september:

1)Wet N' Wild Heather Silk

This is a beautiful pinky color that ive been reaching for a ton lately. its the only matte blush i own, but i love it because its still GLOWY! it gives the color as when youre cold, been out for a run, etc. i loove the wet n wild line b/c its so cheap and the colors are fab ! i will be doing more reviews on my wet n wild faves soon

2)Pout Apricot Totty

I recieved this in a swap and with a skunk brush and buffed in, its glowy coraly perfection :) be warned though that if you dont blend this, it is BRIGHT! but when blended, its gorgeous

(ps it looks all disgustingly clumpy because i dropped it and it shattered! its VERY fragile, but i was able to press it back so atleast its pressed as opposed to loose which i hate)

3)MAC Blushbaby

I'm on the fence about this. I was expecting a neutral pinky color, but it turns peach on me. its still gorgeous nonetheless.

4)MAC plum foolery

I adore this shade! It's plum with a golden shimmer to it. its subtle (i cant wear plum/red/etc. blushes for the life of me) and it doesnt show up plum whatsoever, just pink with gold shimmers. beautifulllll

5)NYX

I LOVE THIS BLUSH!!! i unfortunately forgot the exact name of the blush but if youre very curious, i can try and find ouutt.. its one of the mosaic blushes in the NYX line. its peachy pink with the best glow ever. it makes you look healthy, awake, etc. I wear this alone, but i absolutely love layering it on top of other blushes, it gives them an oomph. loovee this so muchh! (its broken because i messed up while depotting it to put into my mac palette)

AAANNNDDD a gorgeous shadow i rediscovered in my stash: MAC beauty marked !

i wore this yesterday with satin taupe on lid, woowinked/bronze/dark devotion in crease and in my outer v, a bit of carbon and this. i always forget how much i love this!

use it in the crease with a blue look, it turns smokey charcoal blue, use it with purple, it transforms into a smokey shimmery violet. i love love love this coloorr<3
