TOP 10 Re-Purchased Products (High End Edition)

Hello Dolls, I have actually found the time and motivation to write up quite a few new Posts. Yay!! This will be a first in my series of Tens Posts. 10 loves, 10 hates, 10 essentials you get the point right loves. 

Here are my Top 10 Re-purchased Products (Highend edition).

1. Benefit Erase Paste - I used this concealer for years and recently rediscovered my love for it. The peachy tone (light shade) conceals and corrects nicely.
2. Bobbi Brown Corrector - The light Bisque shade gives that little bit extra help I need some days to conceal the issues being an insomniac causes.
3. MAC NSF Natural Powder - I keep going back to this product over and over again. 
4. NARS Laguna - Amazing bronzing powder that is the perfect shade for me right now. A tad dark when I'm winter pale but with a light hand it still works then.
5. NARS Blushes - I love the quality and color selection of these wonderful Blushes. Two I have been reaching for a lot are Torrid & Orgasm (once again:) )
6. Benefit Browzing - I went back to this one lately because my hair is now light again - Blond highlights.
7. MAC Lipsticks - I just adore MAC Lipsticks and I am drawn to the Lipstick display every time I pass by a MAC shop. Love Vegas Volt right now.
8. DIOR Lip Glow Balm - Very moisturizing, glossy and a perfect pink tint.
9. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - Ive said it before but this little palette is essential in my make-up bag. Great all over lid, highlights and crease shades, as well as colors I use for my brows and as eye liners. 
10. MAC Paint Pot in Ground Work - wonderful base under shadows esp shades from the above palette or used as a quick wash of color.

Hope you stop by tomorrow to see the 10 Products That Didnt Work for Me:)

MAC Flamingo Lipstick

Hey Loves. I know I usually review lipsticks on my other blog but I was having technical difficulties so here I am writing this post on my original blog. I was doing a little shopping last week and stopped my MAC to see the new collections. I fell for the All About Orange Collection but only allowed myself 1 purchase. I went with this Lipstick and love it.

MAC FLAMINGO

This beautiful lipstick looks orange in the tube but comes off more pink when worn/swatched. Its a Luster finish so if your afraid of color the sheer glossy finish is easy to wear. I really want the other shades in this collection too.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments

Hello Loves I'm back again with another new product review. The other day when I picked up the new Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara (reviewed on yesterdays post) I saw these in the same display. I picked up 4 for a Birthday box I'm sending to a friend and 2 for myself. 

The Good:
* Beautiful shimmering colors from champagnes to bright blues.
* Incredibly pigmented
* I experienced no fall out when using a flat shadow brush
* Applies smooth and even with out being patchy

The Bad:
* Could be cheaper for the amount of product you get 0.05oz/$10
* Doesn't last all day on me (no primer/oily eye lids)

35 BREAKING BRONZE

45 DOWNTOWN BROWN

MAYBELLINE The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara

Hey Loves I've missed you all. Im here tonight with a review on a new mascara that I came across today. I think its a brilliant idea for someone like me who wears mascara on the top and bottom. 

MAYBELLINE VOLUM'EXPRESS MASCARA

The Falsies Big Eyes

1 COAT

2 COAT

Like I mentioned above I do think this is a fantastic idea. To have the right size brushes and formula to apply mascara on the top and bottom lash all in one system, wonderful. 

Top Mascara - The wet formula (brand new) really did lift my lashes up, opening my eyes. It was a little clumpy but I can fix that with a quick comb through. I did like the fact you can get noticeable results with just 1 coat.

Bottom Mascara - This is my favorite side of this mascara tube. The little brush is great for getting all the bottom and top/corner lashes. The bottom brush also seems to get scraped better when you pulled it out to get the perfect amount of formula on the brush.

The only thing thats a down sides I found was the fact I couldn't find a waterproof version (yet). I will be buying this one again. Another great Falsies mascara.

SONIA KASHUK Beautifying Blush (mini review)

Hi Loves I'm back again with another review today. Today's its for the Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in 14 Pink Rose. 
Its a gorgeous soft pink matte blush. Great color power off, applies smoothly and blends easily. I also find the black packaging with magnetic closure quite sleek.

Color Compare to Benefit Dandelion - Almost identical with the exception the Benefit one has fine shimmer. A great dupe for a third of the price at $9.99

SONIA KASHUK All Covered Up Concealer

Hello Lovelies. I have a bunch of review posts for you this weekend as well as next week. I picked up a few products here and there this past week and I have so many great products to show you from my recent swap. In this post I'm sharing my thoughts on SONIA KASHUK All Covered Up Concealer in 02 Ivory.

This was my first purchase from this brand and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The packaging says its creamy, blendable color, conceals imperfections all day all of which I found to be true. It also states medium-high coverage dewy finish, oil free, Paraben free, fragrance free, no animal testing and contains oak & cork extracts. 

No Concealer

This concealer is so creamy and easy to blend with wonderful coverage and staying power. I would compare the texture to Benefit Erase Paste. My only issue with this product is the colors. I thought 02 Ivory would be lighter and there was no tester to see the actual shades. Besides that I think this is a great concealer.

* I have not tested this on blemishes yet because right now I dont have any. When I do I will let you all know how it covers:)
