MAC - Viva Glam Gaga


Finally, I'm posting a review and swatch for this lipstick. Almost every blog has had a review of this, and they are very lucky to own it since it is completely sold out at MAC stores and the website. I bought mine from Macy's and luckily I found another there and bought another one this past weekend.

Packaging with Lady Gaga's Signature

Some thoughts about this lipstick. I love the color, its very bright and unique. I find it a little bit hard to pull it of in an everyday look for me since its a very bright light bubblegum pink. The application is very smooth and I love it. The first time I swatched, it was a bit sheer because of the Lustre formula, but as I kept building it, the color becomes more apparent. I will be doing a look with this soon. I hope this review helped. Thanks for reading :)

Essie - Mint Candy Apple


I'm a little late with this past but the mint/green/jade/blue trend has been in for nails for the past few months. I love this color to death and now I love how it's so much easier to find mints in stores. This is a fashion must have!



MAC Violetta, Other Limited Edition Products, and Comparisions

Hi , I haven't been blogging lately since I've been busy with school, but meanwhile I have been purchasing a lot of MAC stuff. I made this purchase probably like 3-4 weeks ago and finally I have a chance to post up some swatches. All of these products are limited edition, and I don't have many permanent products since I'm new to this and it seem as though all the things I like are put as limited edition. So here's what I got.

Lipsticks
Violetta (Amplified Creme)PRO: This is my first purple lipstick! It's a very pretty and bright fuchsia purple and it's a PRO item, so I assumed it would be really pigmented and it is! I got it from the MAC website from the Have A Love Affair promo/collection.
Most Popular (Lustre) LE: I saw this as a 'goodbye' [tear] but it was one of the ones that was apart of the hello kitty collection. It's a sheer/light maroon color. The website describes it as a purple with yellow undertone.
High Def (Amplified Creme) LE: This is a goodbye also. It's from High Def collection lol. It's a mid-tone neutral coral. It's very nice as a nude with a pigment.
Empowered (Satin) LE: From the All Ages, All Races and All Sexes collection. It's a creamy mid-tone neutral brown. Some people say it's similar to Siss.




Eyeshadows
Banshee (Lustre)LE: From the All Ages, All Races and All Sexes collection. It's a dirty taupe with frost and sparkle diamond cluster. Looks very neutral when worn.
Love Lace (Veluxe Pearl) LE: From the Love Lace collection. Frosted mid-tone grey-ish blue. Good for a smokey look.



Lipglass
2N (Tinted)LE: A re-promote but now from the Warm & Cozy collection. It's a creamy neutral yellow pink. A must have!


I decided to do some comparisons with other lipglasses I already have. And as you can see is more pinker than Wildy Lush but also has a orange/yellow undertone.

Thanks for reading :)
