Maybelline 870 Shocking Coral Lipstick | Dupe for MAC Chatterbox

This is Maybelline the Vivids. In the shade Shocking Coral. It looks so much like MAC Chatterbox but its way cheaper. It also looks like MAC Impassioned lipstick. So its a great dupe for both of those MAC lipsticks.  Maybelline lipstick costs around $5 and MAC lipstick costs $15.

You can buy Shocking Coral at Walmart or Target.

This Maybelline lipstick lasts long on the lips. Its creamy but stays put for hours. It is a pink color with a hint of orange.

I took some pictures of the lipstick swatched and lip swatches. In the photo I am wearing Benefit Bella Bamba Blush, these 2 colors go great together. It matches the lipstick really well.

Check out the photos and let me know what you think!
If you have any questions about the lipstick feel free to ask!

NARS Damage Lipstick | Photos&Lip Swatches

NARS Damage Lipstick is a beautiful Mauve color. It can go on very sheer and be a light color, or you can build it up to be darker, which is what I did in the photos.

It smells like a face cream or something. It feels very moisturizing but still lasts on the lips.

This is very pretty for an everyday lipstick. I would highly recommend it!
The price was around $20 and you can buy it at: http://www.narscosmetics.com

In the photos below I am wearing MAC Trax in the crease just with a white shadow all over the lid. Trax is a purple color with gold running through it so I thought it would look great with this lipstick.

Let me know what you think!

NARS Haul! NARS Kalahari duo, Carthage matte lipstick, Barrow Street Eyeliner! Review,Photos&Makeup Look!

NARS Haul!

1st -NARS Kalahari Duo is absolutely stunning. You have a lighter side that is a light brown/champagne color that has a beautiful shine. The Darker side has the same shine and  is brown/golden with a hint of purple. They are a lovely silky/smooth texture and they last amazing on the eyes. The NARS duos are $34. Single shadows are $26. You do get a lot of product in them. The duo is 4g.

2nd -NARS Carthage Pure Matte lipstick has become my favorite lipstick I own. MAC girl about town was my other favorite and these two are similar, but Carthage has a more red tint to it. The first time I saw Carthage was in a picture of Emma Stone wearing it and I fell in love. Its a bright pink lipstick and the red tint is undetectable, but it just separates Carthage from being a Fuchsia pink, like Girl About Town is. Even though it is matte, its not drying which I love. You get 2g for $25.

3rd - The last thing I bought is the Larger Than Life Long-Wear eyeliner in the shade Barrow Street. I saw Karlie Kloss wearing this at an MTV awards show and I loved it. It is such an amazing bright color. So fun. I love it! You get 0.58g for $24

**I have done some makeup looks with me wearing the products, and I have done some swatches of them too!!

Sephora Academy Palette! Review, Swatches & makeup looks!

I received this palette for christmas and I was so excited to see how much makeup was inside! 

 The Sephora Academy Palette is right now $50 and is a $210 value. 

They are available at :  

http://www.sephora.com

You get tons of eyeshadows. All the shadows are in the middle section. You have, matte, shimmer and satin. You have enough shades to make so many different looks. You get matte white shadows, dark blacks, very colorful shades and champagne shimmers.

The left side is full of cream liners, which you could also use as cream eyeshadows. You get cream and powder blushes. You get an eye primer, and 3 concealors.

The right side has lip glosses, lipsticks, and a  lip primer. They have so many shades of lipsticks. From nudes to brights to dark and vampy. 

In the bottom you get 2 eyeshadow brushes,  1 blending/soft brush and a lip brush. I will say make sure you use the lip brush with the lip products so the lipstick doesnt come out all sloppy.

This palette is definitely worth the $50. The products work great. The eyeshadows are pigmented and you get a great choice of colors. I love being able to use the cream liners as cream eyeshadows as well. You can also use them as a base for eyeshadows. This is one of the best all in one Palettes I have seen.

Let me know if you have any questions!
