MAC- Bare Study Paint Pot. Swatch and Photo!

This is a Paint Pot by MAC in the shade, Bare Study. This is a gorgeous champagne color. It looks very sheer with gold shimmer. It is gorgeous on its own or it works great as a base for shadow. I love that I can wear this as a wash of color if I want a dark lip so it won't be too much on the eye, or I can use it as a base to make my eyeshadows pop. I love this! Plus, it stays put all day!

Real Techniques Makeup Brushes

These brushes are amazing! They are the Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman. The buffing brush (Orange handle to the far right)  gives an airbrush effect to your foundation. You will get a flawless application every time. I also love the contour brush (Orange handle to the far left). The contour brush is amazing at contouring cheek bones. You can also use it for blush. I use the angled brush for my brows. You can purchase these at:

Benefit Coralista Blush and Gloss. Photos and Swatches!

I have been loving these so much! They are beautiful on. They both go very well together. 

The gloss is very glossy but still has a good bit of color. This gloss is by far the softest gloss i have ever wore. It feels so comfortable and expensive on. It also wears off nicely. There is definitely no stickiness at all. The shade is coral but leaning on orange. Its more orange than I expected but its not a strong color so its very wearable. 

I went heavy on the blush in the photo so you can really see how it looks! This blush is so pretty. It is a peach coral color with this beautiful glow to it. Its a nice blush if you want your blush and highlighter in one. This blush is subtle, but it is buildable. 

Blush is 8.0g at $28.     Gloss is 0.5 fl oz at $16

MAC lipstick- Viva Glam V. Lip swatch!

This lipstick is a light brown with gold shimmer. It is a great everyday lipstick. It's absolutely gorgeous and has a Lustre finish. This is the perfect nude for me. It is seriously the best nude lipstick I have ever been able to find. It isn't too light. It goes with everything. I love wearing this with a smokey eye, or if i just want a natural look. The sparkle in it is so pretty. Its not over bearing. 

All the money you spend on the Viva Glam lipsticks go toward AIDS charity.

 I highly recommend this lipstick! Check out the Lip Swatches below!
