MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick featuring Insanely It & Quite the Thing

Surprise Surprise!  I purchased more lipstick!  This time around, I hauled a couple of the Sheen Supreme lipsticks.  I already own the shades Tea Ceremony and Korean Candy but I had to haul a pink and purple.  I love how these are like a hybrid of lipstick and lipgloss but I hate how they slip and slide around the lips but the hoarder in me decided to get these anyway.

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick
Shades:  Insanely It & Quite the Thing! 
Available at MAC
$14.50 USD

Loves:  Love glossiness of the lipsticks.  The colors I picked are pretty. 

Hates:  Just like my YSL lipsticks, these are freakin slippery little suckers!  They glide on so smoothly which means they glide off of the lips pretty easily.  I only get a short wear time from these and they sink into the lines in my lips. 

Insanely It

Maybe I need to layer this shade more because it doesn't look as spectacular on me as I've seen it look on other people.

Quite the Thing!

The same thing goes for this shade.  Definitely need more layers to get the full effect.

The Balm Hoard: Bronzer, Highlighter and Lipstick!

Cute packaging count me in.  Have I been living under a rock or something?  I don't own one item by theBalm and I have no idea why.  I've heard about their eyeshadow palettes but I never took the leap and bought anything.  Well I finally came to my senses and hauled a few items and I just placed another order because they went on sale on Hautelook!  

With this hoard haul I decided to get a bronzer (because I'm obsessed with contouring my round little face), a highlighter (for that glow) and a lipstick (because I'm a beauty junkie because the names are freakin hilarious).  I haven't tried out any of the products long enough to tell if I'm completely obsessed but the luminizer has made a great first impression.

Available at theBalm 
$19 USD
The color looks a little light for my complexion so I'm not sure if this will work as a bronzer or contour but we shall see.

 

theBalm Betty-Lou Manizer
Available at theBalm & Sephora 
$24 USD
Looks gorgeous but I will definitely need to use a light hand so I don't look like a gold disco ball...do those exist?

theBalm Lipstick
Shade:  Mai Billsbepaid
Available at theBalm 
$17 USD
The color was definitely too light for me when I first tried it on but after awhile it transformed into a light pink/nude color that was workable.  I popped a little lipgloss on it later and it was wearable.  I think this would be an easy wearable nude for someone of a lighter complexion but I can still make it work for me.

I purchased all of my products at thebalm.com and they were offering a free gift with any $50 purchase.  The gift was a cute little makeup bag.

Well that's all for my haul.  Do you own any products from this brand?

Sunday Favorites 2012 - Volume 5

Yeah!  I'm back to my makeup obsession!  I keep going in and out of being a complete makeup junkie.  The main problem I have is that I have so much makeup and sometimes it's hard to justify buying more but I always want more!  I've decided to just go with it, which means using the makeup I have and only buying a few special items once in a while.

I've been shopping my stash and Neiman Marcus and I have a bunch of favorites this week.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick featuring Spicy Pink & Soft Beige

Why oh why did I ever start reading beauty blogs?  They have totally creating a bigger makeup monster than I was already.  I never in a million years thought I would become a lipstick addict but here I am and I love it!  I was recently reading Rai's blog and she did a post on the Rouge Volupte lipstick in the color #25 Soft Beige.  I immediately went online and ordered that color and I decided to get one more color after seeing some swatches online.  I have to say that I am so mad because they are awesome which means I want more!!!

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE VOLUPTE SILKY SENSUAL RADIANT LIPSTICK SPF 15
Shades:  #20 Spicy Pink, #25 Soft Beige 
Available at Neiman Marcus
$34.00 USD

Loves:  Love the shades that I picked.  They are so smooth and creamy.  Great pigmentation.  Packaging is awesomely luxurious and the tubes have a mirror on the top!  How awesome is that?  Very awesome!

Hates:  Freakin slippery little suckers!  They glide on so smoothly which means they glide off of the lips pretty easily.  I only get a couple of hours of wear out of these but they are awesome during those two or three hours.

Aren't they lovely!  I already ordered two more.
