Rimmel Dupes Mac Gaga

Today I have the perfect baby pink lippie from London in color 006 Pink Blush. I had a hard time finding Mac viva Glam Gaga & decided To go on a hunt for a dupe. I was lucky enough to find Viva Glam Gagas twin @ a fraction of the price. Definitely the look for less @ 5.00

Rimmel London says:
“Lasting Finish Lipstick now delivers up to 8 hours staying power. With the improved formula of Colour Protect technology gives up to 25% more colour impact and enriched with 50% longer-wearing colour-boost pigments so you will turn heads wherever you go.”

This is a perfect pink, that's totally wearable for any skin tone. It is opaque with a cream finish & sweet candy smell.
What do u think?

Extra Extra: Tanorexic Teens

As of January 1st, it's illegal for any of you under 18 barbies to use an indoor tanning beds in Cali. Other states might follow soon.
Close to 2.5 million American teenies tan indoors every year. Tanning increases your risk of developing melanoma by 75%.

Switch to mystic & invest in a good tanning lotions...it's safer.

Happy bronzing babies!

Lakers Manicure

It's no secret I'm a huge laker fan.
So when a good friend of mine invited me to a game VIP style, I just knew I had to show my support with a sweet purple & gold LAKESHOW manicure.

I used three polishes, that were just waiting to be used in My lonely un swatched pile.

I started with 2 coats of OPI Funky Dunkey from the shrek collection wich is a beautiful dusty opaque purple.

Then for My accent nail I used Tweet Me from L'oreals New Colour Riche Trend Setter collection. This is a sunny yellow with a beautiful golden orange shimmer. It's a very happy color.

I topped it all of with a little known brand sold at Nordstroms called savina, In a color called gold flecks. This is a clear base filled with micro bar glitter in gold & purple. Just beautiful.

Seche Vite & that's it!

LET'S GO LAKERS!!!!!!

What colors can u rock?

Vanity Girl Hollywood!

Hello babes!
I'm so excited about today's post.

I came across a website http://www.vanitygirlhollywood.com/

Bringing glamour to your home, they carry the most beautiful vanities & table top mirrors. There products are high quality. These are the same exact ones you see backstage at a runway show or high fashion shoot. Many celebs, makeup artists & fashionistas own these beautiful vanities.
I'm absouluty in love with the broadway lighted vanity make up desk! I think these are great for woman & girls of any age.
They would be fabulous for a beauty room or home salon, even for a freelance makeup artist.

What do u think about these? I can't wait to order one.

L.A. Girl Glitter Addicts

I can never have enough beautiful glitters ;).. They take a little extra effort to remove, but sure are pretty. Glitter Addicts collection from L.A. Girl does not disappoint in the bling department. Only 2.99 & a few unique colors, some with yummy holo glitter mixed in

What tha Kardashian?

Nicole OPI has a line by the Kardashians. All very pretty colors....But I picked up only one so far. My Empire, My Rules, which is a murky grey green creme color.
Nice coverage with only two layers.

Revlon Dupes for Lippmann & Chanel

I was lucky enough to acquire two beautiful new shades of Revlon polishes for Christmas
Both colors are very hyped.. The Chanel paradoxal dupe, renamed Naughty by Revlon is a murky greyed purple with a fuchsia shimmer. Stunning color.
The second polish is the ever elusive Whimsical a dusty light blue Jelly with pink & blue hexagonal glitter. This is such a Unique shade, that was quite hard to hunt down. This is a Deborah Lippmann dupe for Glitter in the Air.

Loreal infallible eye color

New Loreal eyeshadow in sultry smoke & Golden sage.
These colors are lasting & are suppose to be 24hr... Not that I've left my shadow on for 24hrs but these do last for along time.
I love love love the golden sage color it's amazing
The sultry smoke is cool as well, but pretty dupeable

Has anyone tried these??

ELF blushes

E.L.F cosmetics are so raved about I had to try the blushes.
Lots of talk about some being NARS dupes. I had to check them out. They are the same exact size & weight @ a fraction of the price. NARS being 28.00 & ELF being 3.00
I picked up two of the most talked about colors to see of they fit the bill & I can say that Pink passion is a pretty good dupe for a matte Barbie pink by NARS called Desire.
The second color called Candid Coral is a pretty color but is NOT a dupe for NARS orgasm. While this color is beautiful, it just doesn't meet the Orgasm standard with its pinky peach shimmer....elf falls a little flat.
Still pretty in its own right, a coral shimmer. Just not a dupe

What are thoughts on ELF blushes?

EyesLipsFace 100 palette

ELF cosmetics is a cheap brand sold online & at target. I picked up a eyeshadow palette with 100 different colors for 8.50 originally 10.00 ( such a deal)
I didn't expect too much for the price, but there was a wide variety of color & texture that I didn't expect.
I was pretty suprised that the colors were very buttery & pigmented

So for the price I say this is a great do!! Especially if You want to try out lots of colors

Have You tried ELF products?

Sinful gloss dupes MAC

So I finally came across the sinful lipgloss. They are beautiful and come in a wide array of colors. I bought only one to check quality.
I decided on pucker up, which is a baby pink cream without sparkle. It's sticky and smells of vanilla. Seems like a great dupe for MAC lipglass. At only 1.99 there is not one bad thing I can say about this gloss. Stock up ladies

What colors have u tried??

Rimmel Kate Rossetto lipstick

Feeling emo? Wanna grab Your inner dark goddess? Getcha dark lip on with Rimmel by Kate..shade in Rossetto. This is a yummy eggplant lipstick, that's absolutly beautiful & vampy.
My youngest sister inspired this lip & I love it ;)
