MAC Venomous Villains Lipglass

From right to left: Strange Potion, Wicked Ways

The Swatches

MAC Venomous Villains Lipglass : Limited Edition : $14.50

*Available at SOME Mac counters and stores if you ask if they have any left. I got these two a couple weeks ago after searching for quite some time.

I absolutely love everything about this whole collection of lipglasses. They are pigmented and shiny and wonderful colors. 

Strange Potion: Has the Evil Queen from Snow White on the box and the actual lipglass. The color is a corally pinkish which I find to be very pretty. Looks good with all looks and comes off on your lips like it does at first glance.

Wicked Ways: Has Cruella DeVil on the box and bottle with some Dalmatians. At first glance it looks red. If you swatch it on your hand, it also looks red. But when you wear it on your lips, it is a deep berry. I actually haven't worn this one till today and I love it so much. 

If you love Mac Lipglass, get these! Their both wonderful! If your looking for a dramatic sort of red lip for the day time, Wicked Ways is defiantly the lipglass to do that for you. It's sheer but pigmented and the color is really stand-out-ish. It looks very pretty with played down eyes and a more dramatic lipcolor. 

It is the same MAC formula and everything. Just new colors and new bottles (which I love)!

MAC Studio FInish SPF 35 Concealer

BEFORE (I had a little cut on my hand so I thought I'd demonstrate)

AFTER (Cut?...What cut?)

MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer: $16.50

MAC describes this as a lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth, long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. Water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-acnegenic. This emollient-based, lightweight concealer is so concentrated that a tiny amount can provide opaque coverage of the skins imperfections and dislocations. It effectively covers dark circles, blemishes, moles, tattoo's and birthmarks. Enriched with antioxidants (derivatives of Vitamin A and Vitamin E), it also contains Silica to help absorb the skin's oils. Concealer has an SPF of 35 and is available in a wide range of colors. It can be applied with a medium to firm fiber brush (try the 242 brush), a latex sponge or the fingertips.

Here's what I think. It is lightweight and very creamy and very discreet. It looks just like your real skin. It last's all day! Though sweaty summers in Florida to chilly humid winters. I love that its waterproof! A little bit goes a long way when it comes to this concealer and it's anything BUT cakey. It works on tattoo's and birthmarks (I've tried it) and it comes in 14 shades. I would recommend going into the store/counter unless you know what color you are to get matched. 

I just use my fingers to apply. I haven't tried it with a brush yet so I can't tell how it would be with a brush. I'm sure completly flawless. This sets perfectly on my skin and makes me look flawless. I love this! 

I've tried a lot of other shitty (excuse my French) concealers. I will never go back. Worth the money. Worth everything. Get it.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural: $26

MAC describes this face powder as a luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set or fix foundation or as a touch up throughout the day. The shade I use is medium but it comes in eight other shades. For $26 dollars you get 10 grams or 0.35 oz. Pricey I know but welcome to MAC. 

All in all, I couldn't live without this product. I have tried a lot of fixed powders and this is by far my favorite. It's a very light coverage product and I use it to set my foundation. I won't put on my foundation without it. It's so light and smells good and isn't dusty. It does fade of course so you have to bring it with you when you want to touch up throughout the day but it's completely worth it since no powder will last all day. 

I wear this when I know I'm going somewhere but I don't want to put on foundation and all that jazz. It gives me a light coverage that I feel comfortable in and won't cake on my face. 

I know this is a product that I wil use over and over again and when it runs out, I will get more. I love this stuff. It's amazing. Don't buy online unless you know what shade you are. Go into the store or counter and have the lady match you. You won't be disappointed! Absolutly amazing product! A must have.

I give this 10 out of 10 stars. Nothings wrong with it at all.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser: $9.97
*There are available everywhere from CVS to Publix.

I'm sure everyone has heard that if you have normal to oily skin, that Cetaphil is the best facial cleanser to get. They are probably right. This is a really good quality face wash. It is NOT a makeup remover. If you are looking for a face wash that removes all of you're makeup too, this is not for you. It gets off the dirt and clogged pores but not you're makeup. I would suggest removing it beforehand or using Neutrogena Makeup Remover and Cleanser (I will review for you - keep a lookout).

This stuff makes my face so soft! I love it. I will be purchasing again and getting a travel bottle for when I go away on trips. It does make my nose shiny but that happens to me with all facial cleansers (even when they claim not too) but as soon as I put on my makeup or moisturizer, it goes away. So it's not big deal to me.

I give this 9 out of 10 for the shiny nose.

Carmex Original Formula Lip Balm

Carmex Original Formula Lip Balm: $5

*These are so easy to find. I got mine at Publix. CVS or anywhere, do not pass this up!

This is by far the best lip balm ever created by man. It's not just a lip balm. It's a HEALING lip balm. I suffer from dry lips and I have more lip balms, moisturizers yada yada than anyone. This miracle lip balm makes me want to throw them all in the trash bin and not even think twice about all the money i wasted.

I had given up completely on lip balms till my best friend, Sam, recommended this to me, saying that it was the best lip balm she ever tried.

 I was trying to complain to her about how my lips are always dry and I always have to brush them with a toothbrush to get all the dead skin off and the cracks and she had know IDEA what I was talking about. When I asked her why she didn't get it, she told me that Carmex had kept her lips moisturized and soft her whole life and thats why she had never had that problem.

Needless to say, I had to try it. She let me borrow some and I put it on my lips at night and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, it felt like I had just put the stuff on 5 minutes ago. I wiped it off and put on my regular makeup and lipstick/gloss and went throughout my day. My lips had never been in such good condition. I just happened to stop at Publix and came across it by chance. I HAD TO GET IT! 

The stuff is cheap. It's not gonna make a dent in your pocket or anything. Come up with 5 dollars and get this stuff. It really is incredible.

Essie Nail Polish in Nice is Nice

Essie Nail Polish in Nice is Nice: $7.75

* You can get these at Ulta and Walmart and some other places. Essie nail polishes are not hard to find.

Nice is Nice is from Essie's new French Affair Collection. What a BEAUTIFUL COLOR!!!!! I would highly recommend this color to anyone who is looking for a subtle sorta purple thats very nice and soft. Essie nail polishes hold up well with chipping and with a top coat, are very hard to chip with your day to day activities.

The eos Lip Balm

The eos Lip Balm: $3

*This product is sold pretty much everywhere. I've seen them in Ulta, Walgreens, Walmart and Target. If you pay more than $3 dollars for there you are wasting money. They are not at all hard to find.

The eos Lip Balm claims to have long lasting moisture, shea butter and vitamin E, clear color, a smooth sphere that precisely glides on lips, twist off top, gluten free, paraben free, petrolatum free and phthalate free. It claims to be 95% organic and 100% natural.

I have some likes and some dislikes about this lip balm so lets go ahead and start with the likes. The taste is GOOD! Like candy! Yes I will admit that you want to eat it as soon as you smell it it smells that good. I love that its cute and portable and easy to stick in your purse for a quick touch up when your feeling dry. It is soft and glides on good. But it is not precise.... It's just a lip balm. 

Now to the dislikes. This is a basic lip balm. If you suffer from dry lips and are looking for a lip balm to change your life, this is not it. If you are looking for a quick fix to dry lips that tastes good and is good for temporary moisture, than this may be the lip balm for you!

They come in 5 colors/flavors. Summer fruit (the one pictured above), lemon drop which has spf 15, honeysuckle honeydew, medicated tangerine and sweet mint.

Overall, these are cute but not amazing. I give then 5 out of 10 stars.
