Holy Trolls!

You guys I am so obsessed with the new Trolls eye shadow palette by PUR!  When I first saw the release for this I was a little underwhelmed and thought it wasn't something I would have been into because the Cinderella palette wasn't terrible but I am not a huge fan of the PUR shadows in the Selfie palettes but this one is pretty impressive, I'd say the pigmentation rivals the Anastasia Beverly Hill shadows, dare I say that! This palette is so much fun because while it's more of a normal palette it has these beautiful pops of color. Poppy is an intense shade of pink that I adore, DJ Suki is a bright orange, Guy Diamond is this beautiful duo chrome shade... I seriously need to do swatches on this palette..

Lorac came out with 6 new satin lip sticks in really cute names, still very fitting with the "alter-ego" branding. I actually bought two of the six shades in Snow Bunny and Granny and oh my goodness these lip sticks are so creamy and moisturizing and I find they actually stay on for quite sometime.


Side note, well maybe not, because it's about Trolls still but I just recently saw the Trolls movie and it is so freaking adorable I can't even handle it! It's funny and random and I'm all about it!

Balm appetite!

Have you ever seen a palette that you had to have, not because of the product or the colors, but the names of the products? Well I am a huge sucker for palettes or eye shadows with funny or pop culture inspired names and The Balm just came out with the cutest palette I have seen! It's called the Balm Appetite palette and in true Balm fashion they have another palette with guys on them but it's not the reason why I wanted this palette. it's the names of the shadows especially if one was called Chris P. Bacon or Hal Apeno-Popper.. see where I'm going with this? Pun names based on food, genius!

Mila Kunis Bad Mom's Premiere

Today's look was inspired by Mila Kunis's red carpet look from the Bad Mom's premiere. It's a really cool blue cat eye look but almost an ombre fade on the lids. I got to use some new products when creating this look and sadly things I have bought a while back and haven't really gotten to play with like the Sephora + Patone Universe Modern Watercolors palette... (which I need to keep using more) and my new Urban Decay Moon Dust palette and some new liners like my Marc Jacobs Highliner, which I got as a Sephora birthday gift and the elusive Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper that I just got in my Sephora Play box this month!

Gwen Stefani The Voice Look 2

Another Gwen Stefani look from The Voice and I really loved how this turned out. Sure it's not anything crazy but I loved how natural but still had that 1960's twist to it. I also had over drawn my lips because hers are so full.

Pur starry eyed Palette

During the Holidays I always look forward to the new makeup palettes and sets that we get into our store. Pur Cosmetics, or Pur Minerals came out with a really pretty palette called the Starry Eyed Palette which comes with 6 shadow shades and a mini version of their Volume Vixen mascara. I had been eyeing the palette for a while and once we had a spotlight showcasing the said product, I had to take the plunge, plus I really wanted to try the mascara as well..

The shadows are in the purple and burgundy family with 3 shimmers and 2 matte shades


For my lips I used a new product from The Bliss color line, it's called My Funny Honey, it's Lock and Key and it's an 8hr long lasting lipstick, in almost a plummy brown color. I really have been enjoying the formula, it's not too drying and sits comfortable on my lips.
