Rimmel London Kate Lipsticks

Rimmel London Kate Lip Stick
Lasting Finish by Kate Moss
04-Purple

This new collection by Rimmel London only has 5 Shades. I picked up 04 which is a deep purple. The color reminds me a lot of my MAC Rebel.

Application was smooth, and full cover with just 2 coats, and I didn't feel like I needed to keep mashing it onto my lips. I wore it and had about 3 hours before I started to see if fading, that is with out eating. I really wouldn't call this a long lasting lip stick, I have some lip sticks and lip colors that I can wear for up to 8 hours before the color starts to fade and that is with eating and drinking. But with that being said I would still pick this color up again. I don't buy my lipsticks based on how long they last really, because I always want my lips to look like I just applied my color, so I'm always freshening up my lips.

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks

 Sea Fleur, Volcanic, Evangeline's Red


L'Oreal Color Riche lipsticks are smooth and creamy. The finishes range from sheer to opaque. I have found all of my L'Oreal lip sticks to apply smooth, are non drying, and have a nice staying power. These three did take a few applications to get a nice coverage of color, I wouldn't call any of them opaque, but not quite sheer either.

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Eye Shadow

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Eye Shadow
Spicy Bronze


This is actually the second Glam Eyes Shadow that I've purchased, the first one is Silver. I really love copper and bronze shadows.

The shadow has a great color payoff even without a base, but pops with a base. The wear time is great, I didn't have any issues with creasing as long as I use a base or primer. I have very oily eye lids so almost every eyeshadow will crease on me with out a base or primer.

I spotted these while shopping in Target, there was a total of 5 colors, I picked up these two to start. but after having them I plan on purchasing the other 3.

Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush

Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Living Doll


I love love love blushes! Loose, baked, pressed, cream, any form really! So when I saw this in Walmart I jumped!

I am very pale so even the lightest blushes show up on me, well this one needs lots of building. BUT that doesn't always mean it is bad! I tend to layer my blushes, meaning I wear 2 to 3 blushes at a time. This is wonderful for a light flush of color or to add a shimmer to your cheeks.

Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss

Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss
Black Diva, Fuchsia Fever, Yours Forever, Timeless Allure




Lately I've had a big obsession with lip gloss. I have been buying like crazy! Well while in Walmart I came across Rimmel Stay Glossy, I picked up 4 colors: Black Diva, Timeless Allure, Fuchsia Fever, and Yours Forever.

Random Makeup Haul for March 2012

Wow I think I was rambling more than usual in this video.

I purchased all of the products shown in this video.

OCC Lip Tar - S/S 2012 Garden Collection

The Garden Collection was released on 3/23/12 and has 5 lip tars
The color payoff for all of these colors is as always wonderful! I did have a bit of a struggle with Chlorophyll, but other than that WONDERFUL! My favorite is by far Belladonna, but I have worn Digitalis and Ophelia both to work and have gotten a lot of complements on the colors.

Makeup Storage - Video

I shot a quick video showing how I store my makeup. I recently got the 9 drawer Alex unit from Ikea, and I love it!!! Originally I was going to get 2 Helmers, this was because shipping from Ikea for the Alex unit was going to cost an extra $200!! But my loving hubby said we could take a trip up to Ikea and the Container Store, so we made the almost 2 hour drive, found Ikea, got lost in Ikea (that store I swear has its own zip code!!), found the Alex unit and I fell in love! I did look at the Helmers and while I still like them I think they would be better suited for my craft storage vs makeup and nail polish. OH!!
