Finding a good lip plumper can be surprisingly challenging, considering there are entire blogs dedicated to finding the right one! I’ve recently started researching lip plumpers and their effectiveness, only to learn there are a limited number of ones that both plump and are aesthetically appealing.

Unlike Essie’s Winter 2013 Collection, the Encrusted Treasures Collection has received somewhat mixed reviews. The collection features six new textured glitter shades that will truly make you remember why I bolded ‘texture’. Continue reading “Essie Belugaria Holiday 2013 Encrusted Treasures Collection”
Fergie’s nail color line with Wet n Wild is nothing short of fabulous. The line consists of 24 shades of metallic, glitter, chrome, and neon colors that offer “endless nail design creations.” Continue reading “Wet n Wild Fergie Nail Color in Blue Eyed Soul-Review & Swatches”
Lately, I’ve been trying to broaden my horizons in the world of beauty – and not just stick to my favorite brands. I’ve always had this notion that the price oftentimes determined quality. But this is certainly not always the case, as I have discovered with my new wet n wild products. Wet n Wild’s Megalast nail color line certainly lives up to it’s name – being long lasting. Continue reading “Wet n Wild Megalast in Wet Cement – Review & Swatches”
Revlon’s ‘Soft Nude’ is a well known dupe for MAC’s ‘Creme d’ Nude’. In the containers, these two colors do look very similar, but when applied to the lips, I really don’t see them as dupes at all. Being a loyal and somewhat obsessed MAC fan, I will make sure to keep this comparison post as unbiased as possible. Let’s begin this battle of drugstore vs. high end nude lipsticks! Continue reading “Dupe: Revlon Soft Nude vs. MAC Creme d’ Nude”
Hello my lovely readers! So I’ve done a couple dupe posts now and I’m not quite sure if I want to categorize them as so. Many people think as ‘dupes’ as similar products for a lower price point, and so far the products I have compared are within the same brand or price range. Although dupe is not one of my favorite words, it will have to do for now! Onto the review! Continue reading “Dupe: Essie Leading Lady vs. Essie Toggle To The Top”
Essie’s recently released Winter 2013 collection featured six new colors of four warm and two cooler toned shades. ‘Parka Perfect‘ was an interesting addition to the winter collection because pastels are normally released in the summer and spring months. However, this particular shade surprisingly works (and well!) for the chilly season. Continue reading “Review: Essie Parka Perfect [Essie Winter 2013 Collection]”
The Essie Winter 2013 Collection features six new colors ranging from deep reds to soft pastels. The transition from spring/summer to fall/winter is always about swapping out your neon pinks for wine reds, so this collection is spot on for winter 2013. Continue reading “Essie Winter 2013 Shearling Darling Collection”
‘Flair For Finery’ is one of the five new shades in MAC’s Divine Night Holiday Collection. It is described as a cool/pink nude with a Lustre finish. Even though I have more than enough nude lipsticks, I just couldn’t help myself from picking up ‘Flair For Finery’ especially being that it’s a limited edition shade! Continue reading “Review: MAC Flair For Finery Lipstick (Divine Night Holiday Collection)”
Although not identical, I’ve always found these two colors to be very similar. They are both in the mint green category but Essie’s ‘Mint Candy Apple’ has a more blue tint, while American Apparel’s ‘Office’ is more green. Both are around a comparable price point, so when it comes to making a decision it’s strictly based on the slight shade difference. Continue reading “Dupe: Essie Mint Candy Apple VS. American Apparel Office”
