MAC Lipstick - Moxie

Since I was hauling Candy Yum-Yum, I decided to check out another of the re-launched shades that MAC was offering.  Moxie is a gorgeous pink color with a tinge of red in it.  I absolutely love it!

MAC Lipstick - Candy Yum-Yum

So I'm supposedly on a no buy which lasted for about a half of a second once I saw that the much sought after Candy Yum-Yum was in stock on MAC's website.  I had to have it so of course I put a couple in my cart and checked out!  I also bought a couple of other things but I'll save those for a different post.

MAC Lipstick 
Shade Purchased:  Candy Yum-Yum (Limited Edition)
Finish:  Matte
Price: $15.00 USD

As you can probably tell, it leans a little purple on me for some reason.

I like this shade a lot but I was a bit disappointed.  It's a pretty lipstick but because of it's popularity, I was expecting to be wowed and I just wasn't.  It is a very bright matte neon pink and with these types of shades, I like to wear them lighted blotted on the lips so that it is flattering on me.  I haven't paired this with a lipgloss yet but I bet a pink dazzleglass would look great over this shade.

So did any of you haul this lippie or was I the only one giving in to the hype?

July 2012 Favorites

Wearing makeup is so much fun but sometimes I forget what I have because I own so much.  Last month I rediscovered some old favorites.  I also really realized that organizing and re-organizing my makeup stash allows me to see what I have and break out some oldie but goodies.  Hope you enjoy the video!

These palettes normally retail for #39.50 USD each, but with today's deal, you can get all three for that price.  I think it is a great deal.
