MAC 239 vs MAC 242Today’s post will be short and sweet — a comparison between the 239 and the 242! The MAC 239 is a long time favorite of mine. It is a flat shader brush made of white goat hair and is best used with powder products. The MAC 242 is also a flat shader but made of synthetic bristles. Because… Read more
Sigma Brush Haul — Brutally Honest ReviewI have been putting off purchasing Sigma brushes. I just got the impression that they were a poor substitute for MAC brushes and I don’t like copy-cat companies. Today I’m writing an HONEST review. I don’t have affiliate links, coupon codes, and I’m not sponsored by Sigma. Whew! Now that I have that out there, lets… Read more
A Guide to MAC’s Matte Brown EyeshadowsI don’t know about you gals, but I do A LOT of my shopping online. There isn’t a MAC store near me and the counter is about 45 minutes away — not to mention it is the busiest counter I’ve ever seen, and it drives me INSANE. I like to buy the pan form of… Read more
Lancome Curtain Call Lipstick — All Time Favorite!Although I may seem like a MAC addict (which I am), my favorite lipstick of all time is by Lancome. I got this lippy about 4-5 years ago with a free gift. I didn’t try it on for at least a month because usually free gifts have generic colors that never suit me… boy, was I wrong! I’ve… Read more

Angel is a frost finish light-medium pink with semi-opaque coverage. The wear time is about 3 hours and I find it to be somewhat drying — but almost all… Read more
MAC Pink Pearl Pop LipstickDare I say, I’ve found the perfect pink lipstick? MAC Pink Pearl Pop Apparently in August 2012 MAC came out with 8 Permanent Cremesheen + Pearl lipsticks (which I was unaware of), and last weekend I picked up one of them. Say hello to Pink Pearl Pop. As soon as I walked up to the lipstick rack… Read more
Revlon Colorburst LipglossLeft to Right: Orchid, Crystal Lilac, Hot Pink The Revlon Colorburst Lipglosses create “lips that shine with killer color.” “This weightless gloss makes lips pop with 5X more shine than patent leather.” Of the fifteen shades, I will be reviewing 3: Crystal Lilac, Orchid and Hot Pink. I really like the packaging — simple and… Read more
MAC Hue LipstickI went to the MAC counter this weekend to pick up a couple lipsticks and I am in love with them all, especially Hue! Typically I am not a big fan of nude lipsticks/glosses… I think they can look chalky and corpse-like. Because it is a Glaze finish, Hue is semi-opaque and doesn’t completely… Read more
