Update: September 19th, 2010

Hey girls, I know I havent been blogging for a while now (about two weeks) and I'd like to truly apologize from the bottom of my heart. I've received many emails asing if I was dead and I'm very sorry about all the MIA-ness. Now I'm back in the blogosphere and I'll try to update atleast twice a week. I have many reviews to post since many new products have come out. I think someone requested for me to have a section on this blog where I post some sneek previews of the posts coming soon. I'll try making that happen anytime this week. I finally got adjusted to my new job and as most of you know, blogging is my hobby and NOT my job so I do have a life of my own I have to concentrate on, but will all of your support I have come this far. I will be posting more perfume reviews since I've gotten more into perfumes lately. I got a chance to try out many fragrances and I would love to share the reviews with all of you. Also I got sneek previews to New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 and I will be posting reviews of some products that were used there. Also, MAC will be releasing their Venomous Villains collection and as soon I get my hands on something from that collection it ill be reviewed ASAP. I hope all of understand my situation, thanks!

Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses

Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the new Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Glosses that released with the Daydreamer Collection. The collection released a lilac polish, a mint polish, a quad and 5 lip glosses. There was a cherry colored one, a peachy nude one, a coral one, a lilac one, and a bright pink one. I have the coral one and the lilac one. The coral one is called Coral Reef and the other one is Lilac Pastelle. Coral Reef is a coral shade with a creme finish with no shimmer. Lilac pastelle is a midtone wearable lilac with darker purple shimmers. I purchased one at Wegmans which is like Stop & Stop but think 5 times bigger and one I purchased at Walgreens. They retail anywhere from $7.99-$8.99. They can be found at most drugstores and supermarkets. Keep reading to see my review on this product!




Pro(s):
-Very creamy and not too sticky or thick or runny.
-Has SPF 15!
-Very glossy and moisturizing.
-Greatly pigmented and wearable colors!



Con(s):
-Doesn’t last that long; about 2 hours at the most.

Overall review: I just love these glosses. A lot of people have been comparing them to MAC Creamsheen Glasses, but since I’ve never tried one I wouldn’t know. I think that it is pretty comparable. They weren’t as sticky as MAC glosses or as runny as other brands’ glosses. I find that these are affordable and simply gorgeous. The lilac doesn’t look to opaque so it’s pretty wearable. This is actually Revlon’s first release with their new designer so I hope to see more MAC comparable products in the future. I hope you all enjoyed my 2 cents on this product!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I love these glosses to death!

-This product was purchased by me.
-We never accept any form of payment for a review.

BeFlurt.com Shopping Experience and Overall Review

Hey girls! I got these goodies from BeFlurt.com yesterday. This website basically resells high end and drugstore products for less like allcosmeticswholesale.com and brigettesboutique.com except they have more customized service. This post is basically going to be about my shopping thoughts and overall thoughts on the products I received. It was a breeze shopping on their site because everything is so organized. It like a plain experience but the shocking thing was that my package got here in 3 business days. I ordered on Friday and the same day shipping and I received it yesterday which was Monday. It was well packed and I got 3 business cards and a card filled with promotional codes. It was so securely packaged and I was pretty shocked.

So now let’s get on to what I received. I got a $25 credit from them so I ordered only one shadow. It’s a MAC Eye shadow from the Starflash collection for $14.50. They do have limited edition stuff and a limited stock on the products so I suggest whoever wanted to order (because a lot of you requested this) should go and do so soon. II hope you enjoyed my little post and a review will come soon on the shadow!

*All products from this post were sent to me free of charge.

Small MAC Haul!

Hey girls! So normally I don’t do these kinds of posts, but this MAC haul got be a bit excited. The awesome UPS dude came an hour ago and dropped off my package. As all of you know, MAC has been releasing too many collections and I can’t manage to spend my money on each one of them. I sat myself down and decided what I should get from all of the collections and this is all I could have thought of. I get a duplicate of everything shown for my kit, but here’s what I have for myself. I finally purchased the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick. This has been the rant and rave of all bloggers from everywhere. I’ve wanted it forever so here’s my haul. I tried it on and it’s a bit too blue toned but I can work with it. It’s the best bubblegum pink color. I also got Culture clash lipglass from MAC. It’s part of the Colour Forecast 1 (pink). I love it but the moment I swatches it and then removed it, tons of glitters were left over. I also got All That Glitters eye shadow which is so pretty in pan form. It’s a permanent, but I didn’t have it before. Finally, I got a free Zoomlash mascara sample. They suck, but every time I decide to get a coupon code for free shipping, I can’t just type in the code without the free sample. Somewhere in my mind, I need the free sample, but I never open or use them. I think they’ll be good gifts at my niece’s pajama party she’s having soon. That’s my haul. I’ll be reviewing the Gaga lipstick soon enough and feel free to request any other reviews. Enjoy!

Review: MAC Colour Forms Lipstick

Image Source: http://www.brigettesboutique.com

Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Over the Christmas break, many companies sent me different things, so I will be reviewing them over the weekend which is today and tomorrow. I’m reviewing the MAC Lipstick in Inner Hue from the 2008 Colour Forms Collection now. It’s a coral reddish and its inner portion is like a frosty beige shade. It’s a luster finish, but it does the job in 2 swipes. Keep reading for more information.

Pros: It isn’t as sheer as many people describe luster finishes. It nice and pigmented. It doesn’t dry out at all. It moisturizes nicely. It looks like a rusted glossy red and I’m actually wearing it right now because I love it. I also like the glossy black tube packaging instead of the normal MAC packaging that is matte black.

Cons: No cons!

Overall review: I love this product. The boutique that sent it to me is called Brigette’s Boutique and they have limited edition and also current products on their website by numerous companies at very affordable prices. I believe that this lipstick is about $12 on their website which is pretty affordable. She sent me some extra stuff to giveaway which will happen for Easter. I really like this boutique and I plan on purchasing more products. I know a few of you wanted me to recommend a good online boutique. I hope you enjoy and purchase the products you wanted.

Would I purchase it again: Yes, definitely. If I didn’t have this sent to me and I bought it on my own, would have bought this again.

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10 General tube packaging.

Is it VICKY approved?: Yes it is. I’m definitely going to go and buy another one.

Review: MAC Zoomlash Mascara

So this is the mascara you get free with free shipping on MAC Cosmetics online. This seems like every time I order, I always need to use the code because I want the free mascara, but then it always ends up in my bin of neglected makeup. After 5 months of using this stuff, I can finally come up with a review on it so here it goes. My take on this mascara is that maybe because the mascara is so crappy, MAC has to give it away.

Pros: Dark black color.

Cons: Terrible wands, not waterproof, hard to get out of eyes, clump a lot, and too pigmented.

Overall Review: I really don’t like this mascara. It clumps too much on me and is hard to get off. It is too black which can make your lashes look too dramatic and if you rub your eyes while removing it, it gets into your eyes and makes a line that gathers at your tear duct and when you take it out it’s like a huge glob of black stuff. Bottom-line is that don’t invest money in it. If you are so excited to use it them just order it with the free code. Just chat with a makeup artist and ask her if there is any code, that’s what I always do, they’re pretty nice about it.

Review: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15

This product I'm reviewing today won't be in my normal format since I love this product to death. Well, I have to follow it even if I don’t want to because it makes the most sense so let’s get started.

Pros: The good things are that after you apply it, it barely feels like you are wearing it. Your skin feels very natural and you get medium sheer coverage which is perfect for days when you don’t feel like wearing a lot of makeup. I personally only have a couple of blemishes and dark circles so I use this a lot because it covers my blemishes and as for my dark circles, well those are eternal. This is very sheer and since I bought it in the summer, I have the shade medium, but now since it is winter, I got lighter so this tinted moisturizer gives my face a nice bronzed look. Just one thing is that my neck and face don’t match. It’s not that bad. Well, for the winter, this is best since it doesn’t dry out dry faces and doesn’t oil up oily faces. My skin type remains neutral and I don’t get oily throughout the day. I don’t even have to set my face with powder because the tinted moisturizer doesn’t shift throughout the day.

Cons: It smells funny, that’s it.

Overall Review: I love this stuff. This is probably going to be my holy grail foundation until I die or until it’s in the permanent line and the day MAC is discontinuing it, I will purchase a lifetime supply. It works wonders on my face especially since I have dry skin. I would recommend this to anyone who likes tinted moisturizers. This one has the best consistency so you only need a pea sized amount for your entire face. That’s how much I’ve been using since July and I still have plenty of it left. This is by far the best product I’ve ever used in my entire life.

Review: MAC Just A Pinch Gel Blush

Now, I bought this product when the MAC Rose Romance Collection first came out and many people were intrigued, but after a while, it became less popular. Let's see why this happened!

Pros: Very sheer color in first use and very buildable. You are able to apply the quantity you want to without looking overone. Best for those winter days when going to work and you just want that fresh rosy color that looks dewy. Provides sufficient moisture to your cheeks and definately stays on since its a gel cheek stain. Nicely packaged. Two-in-one product which can also give your lips a nice stain. Don't let the color intimidate you!

Cons: Hard to apply on the go, stain only comes off with oil based makeup remover, makes your pores more noticable, and best for use with a stippler brush. Normal blush brushes are too flimsy to do the trick.

Overall Review: I would suggest this for usage when NOT in a huge hurry. The pot is kind of unsanitary when using it on other people. I personally use this 4 times a week beucase I'm always at home when I do my makeup and I have plenty of time to use it properly.I especially like its dewiness. I don't build my color when I use it, I juts put a sheer coat, but I really like it. I might have a blog sale, just watch out for one!
