MAC Chatterbox Lipstick!

MAC Chatterbox is a lovely lipstick. It is an Amplified so its very creamy and opaque.  Amplifieds are one of my favorite finishes, they last great on me.
The shade is a warm pink. Its a very fun pink. I love having a pop of pink on my lips that's not a fuchsia. I like fuchsia too but this is just something different. Its a great summer color, but I've been wearing it in the fall too.
This would look good on all skin tones.
The price is $15 and you can buy it at: http://www.maccosmetics.com

Let me know what you think of the lip swatches!

Some makeup items sent by my friend Joy Carey - PureJoy Makeup | ELF Hypershine Gloss/ELF Liner&Shadow Stick/Milani Lip Flash!

I wanted to share these makeup items that were sent to me by an amazing MUA and beauty blogger. She knew I couldn't find these where I live, so she suprised me with these lovely products. She's so sweet.

The first item she sent was the ELF Hypershine Gloss in the shade Joy. :)
This gloss is so beautiful. It has the most beautiful shimmer. There is a slight tint of pink to it. I love how it feels on. I'm so happy to get to try an ELF lip product. :)

The second product is the ELF Eyeliner and Shadow Stick in the shade Basic/Brown. This is amazing. They glide on so smooth and stay put. The color is amazing. The shadow is a gold/champagne color and the liner is a dark brown.

Last product is the Milani Lip Flash in the shade 03 Flash light. Wow this color is so bright and I love it! Its a orange/red with the most beautiful shimmer. I'm going to be wearing this non stop. This is my first time trying Milani, and I love it!

How To Wear Colored Mascara!

How to Wear Colored Mascara!

1. One way to wear colored mascara is to find what color will bring out your eye color and make your eyes pop!
For blue eyes- try burgundy or orange!
For Brown eyes- try blue or purple!
Green eyes- try Purple or Burgundy!

2. When wearing colored mascara keep the rest of the eyes simple. You could apply a wash of a light eyeshadow all over the lid, then apply mascara so the mascara will be the focus!

3. To tone your colored mascara down, use a black mascara first then put a coat of colored mascara on the tips of the lashes for a softer affect.

In this photo, I kept it simple and wore a light champagne color all over my eye, then wore a burgundy mascara so it would really pop!
I wore a bright lip with it too, to make the look more fun!

The mascara I'm using is Maybelline Great lash. Sadly, these are limited edition, but there are so many brands that make good colored mascaras!

Let me know how you wear your colored mascara!

MAC Saddle Eyeshadow Review! Makeup look& Photos!

MAC Saddle eyeshadow has a Matte finish. It is very pigmented and gives off a lot of color. Its warm brown color is why I bought it. I like to contrast my eyes and lips. If you see in my photo, I used the warm Saddle shadow and Cool Plum lipstick so they contrast against eachother. Warm can be anything with yellow in it, Saddle has yellow in it which gives it that warmness. Cool colors have blue in them. Like a blue toned pink or plum. Its nice to have a Warm Brown in your collection. Another reason I bought it is to do a Grunge look with it. I will post photos of it as soon as I do it! Warm brown eyeshadow messily blended very high up and very low under the lashline is very grungy, and Saddle is nice for that.
Saddle is $10 for the pro pan form and $15 for the pot form. I live in WV where the demand for pro pans isn't high enough for them to carry them, which is disappointing.
You can order the pro pans and all MAC products online at:

*If you're wondering. I am wearing MAC Plumful  lipstick in the photo!  Im aslo wearing NARS Sin blush. I like how the blush and lipstick look very similar, so you get that reflection of the same color. 

Let me know what you think and if you contrast your makeup!

MAC Plumful Lipstick Photos&Lip Swatch!

MAC Plumful is a Lustre finish. It is a great fall lipstick. Plumful is a great lipstick if you want to wear a plum  lipstick, but don't want something like a strong full on purple.
This is very pretty, I did realize once I got it home how similar it is to MAC Craving. Plumful is lighter than Craving. Craving is a Cream Sheen finish so its color is very strong, where Plumful is a Lustre so it is sheer but buildable. I would have probably went with Plumful instead of Craving if I had seen it first, but they are both nice colors.
Plumful is around $15. You can purchase it at: http://www.maccosmetics.com

*Let me know what eyeshadow color you would pair with this shade! I'd love to hear it!
