Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush in Nude Nuance: Review and Swatches

Image
Ever since I passed up Springshine Ombre blush from MAC's Spring Color Forecast collection, I've been geeking for it. You know, I left it there because why do I need yet another bronzer??? Instead I got the Grape and Peach ombre blushes -__- Ask me how often I touch them. Anddd long face again.  So, some where in my brain I feel I need Springshine.  Luckily for those wanting the grape ombre blush, it will be repromoted  in the MAC Daphne Guinness collection coming up.  What about someone like me who needs another bronzer blush like a shot in the foot? We have to hunt down people willing to sell theirs or haggle with swappers....OR find a dupe (a sport).  My searching  returned results for dupes for the highly sought after Peach Ombre blush.  Like a needle in a haystack, one result returned info that NYC's Sunny Matte bronzer is a close dupe.   I wasn't persuaded.  Luckily, I remembered that Estee Lauder had ombre blushes before MAC....

Dear Urban Decay, re: Urban Decay Duo Liner

Image
Dear Urban Decay, When your too-popular-for-its-own-good Naked palette hit the market, it initially debuted with a duo liner of Zero and Whiskey, the standard, but essential brown and black liners conveniently in one stick that tops off any look.  Then the palette was released with a brush.  Let's just say I'm glad I got the liners!  (...because I love them, not because the brush is bad.)  I fell in love it and was devastated all at once.  I knew once I ran out of the liners I wouldn't ever be able to replace it.  It got so small it was hard to continue sharpening it.  The caps were outgrowing the liner! You wowed me earlier this year by listening to the fans and changing the packaging of our beloved Primer Potion.  I think you all heard my call and decided to wow me again.  I saw my liner being sold separately at the counter at Sephora.  I heard jingle bells!  Now all is well in the world.  Kudos and thank you!!!! No...

If you made it through the title, congrats!  LOL Now on to the review with swatches and video! Hard Candy Glossaholic Rise and Shine Energizing Lip Gloss (top coat) is essentially Nubar 2010 or Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure for the lips in a previously seen MAC Wonder Woman lipglass packaging; a nice flaky gloss to add dimension and fun to your lips with a HUGE doe foot!  It caught my eye immediately, but check out my thoughts on it! According to Hard Candy: "SUPER HUGE MEGA WATT LIPS One dip covers your lips! Ginormous applicator with gloss cup deposits gloss to your whole mouth in one swipe! These super lustrous lip glosses are infused with prisms of color that make lips appear fuller and plumper. Out of this world hyper-reflective prisms of pearl make lips sparkle like crazy! Feeling tired or wired? Two Glossaholic sparkling clear top coats are infused with mood altering elixirs to help you Chill Out or Rise & Shine! – You can wear alone or as a top coat. " ...
