MAC x Mariah Carey " All I want " Lipstick

All I want for Christmas is Mariah Carey MAC lipstick :)

Mariah Carey collaborate with MAC Cosmetics to bring us gorgeous lipstick for Holidays. 

'All I want' is described as a champagne shimmer. It have a frost finish. Yes it sparkly :) Looks like a warm metallic peachy shade. I tell you at front, this is not the kind of lipstick I go for. I stay away form all frosts. But it is a limited edition and well I need to have it. Although I am kind of disappointed with the packaging. Wish MAC could make something more then put her in plain black MAC tube :( .  But oh well. 

I tried on me and it a straight on shimmer. I guess if i layer it with a lip liner I can make it work. 

I do have one frost lipstick and it is form Alluring Aquatic collection in  shade 'Pet me Please'. I did actually wore Pet me Please few times layer with shimmery lip gloss. Yeah,I did that.In summer you can do it all and get away with it hahaha! I swatch them alongside on the back of my hand so you can see how they both look.

And now question of the day : DID you get yours ? 

'All I want' and 'Pet me Please'

Cover Girl TruNaked 'Goldens' and 'Nudes' Swatches + Review

Cover Girl recently launched new eyeshadow palettes : Goldens, Nudes and Roses.

My CVS had display with only Goldens and Nudes and so I grabbed both. Roses palette is available at ULTA, and that will be my next stop.

Palettes are pretty pricey. I paid $13.95 for each at my CVS, which for 8 pan is a bit expensive. I am still kinda disappointed that bogo on Cover Girl did not include these palettes or anything from Spring collection. Oh well maybe next time. 

As I said they are pricey for a drugstore, but the shades claim to be 'like leading $50 eye shadow palette'. A lot of people compare them to Urban Decay palettes. Roses would be dupe for Naked 3, Goldens dupe for Naked , and Nudes dupe for Naked 2.

Like I said before they are 8 pan eyeshadows, come in a plastic packaging. Clear lid, so you can see a shadows. On the lid in gold letters you can see the name Cover Girl TruNaked ( Nudes, Goldens and Roses depends on the palette ). Inside there is dual sponge applicator. At the back you can see the names of eyeshadows and ingredients list. 

Now the formula on these is amazing! They do feel like a high end shadows. Soft. creamy texture that blends wonderfully.  In palette you can find matte shades and shimmery shades. The pigmentation on these is off the chain. For real ! I really like the Maybelline palettes but these are way better in my opinion. Also the lightest matte shades in both palettes  really lack in pigmentation. In Goldens is the first shade - Creme and in Nudes second shade - Shell. As of the rest ,they are to die for, The shimmers swatches better then matte shades. All swatched with my finger with no base.

Overall I really like them. I will get Roses and new Maybelline soon :) 

Did you get yours already? Let me know how you like them :) 

'Goldens' palette

as you can see, the first shade is barely there.

'Nudes' palette

Again , look at the second shade.And first too.

TULA Advanced Neck Cream

Welcome my Dear Friends,

It is around 10pm on Thursday night and I am blogging :) 

I love blogging and just spilling my heart into my posts sooo much. 

Today I want show you my prize I won In TULA giveaway a while back.

The Advance Neck Cream is in my (almost) daily skin routine. I don't use it everyday, more like every other day. TULA is paraben, mineral oil, petrolatum, phthalates free and they don't test on animals!

I been using TULA cream for a month now. It supposed to be use twice a day, but well I am lazy in the morning, so I am using it night time only. First of, this is my first time trying any anti aging creams, and first time trying any neck creams. After few uses I must say I was impressed I could see my skin on my neck was tighter and hydrated.
The consistency is thick and creamy and it sinks/absorbs into you skin. Don't feel greasy or what so ever.
It does have a nice clean scent to it. As you know me I love when I can smell my beauty products and makeup. And now lets talk about the jar! OMG right! how gorgeous it is! Looks so pretty on my shelf along my other beauty products. The tiffany blue gives me life! and you guys need to check TULA's IG page. The pictures are beautiful!

If you are interested in purchasing, here is the link.
I won't lie it is a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money.  I say if you are 30+ definetly look into a neck creams. Better start taking care of your neckline sooner then later.
I am truly happy to have this cream in my daily routine. And now I have it in a visible place so I can start using it daily :)


 I have a COUPON FOR YOU my dear readers. Simply use VIP20 on their web to get 20%off!
I actually want to try their cleanser and I might give t a try :) and I think you should too!

November Favorites 2015

Time for my Beauty Favorites from last month.

Some are new and some my old goodies, that I have in my collection but I didn't reach for often

Also October and November were the busiest months I got a lots of new beauty products to test, for all I will be writing reviews soon. I am really behind on reviews.

I really can’t believe we are already December and soon I will have to think of my yearly faves! But for that we will have to wait. Let’s jump to my November one's first.

NOTE : I have a major problem with my text front. Some post I wrote at my work and send it via email Now I try to make them all same but for some reason I cant. Sorry I know it looks horrible! 

Urban Decay Naked 2 ~ I don't really have to talk much about it. Most of you already have it or lusting for it :) I found few shades in this palette that when I swatched I was like: Wow where you were my whole life. Ever since I got this palette, I have never played much with it until now. This is one of the a MUST HAVE palettes for beauty junkie

Stila In The Light Palette ~ I been lusting over this palette forever. After they discontinue it I was in tears that I didn't get it when i got a chance. Finally last month I fund it at Nordstrom Rack and I didn't think twice. I ran to register :) Beautiful selection on Natural Shades (shimmers and mattes) .

Jeffree Star Cosmetics “Doll Parts" ~ this liquid lipstick is just pain gorgeous. I have no words. Just hoping Jeffree will make it permanent! I am wearing it twice a week. hahah ! For real this is my to go lippie. Its stays put the whole day :) Definitely my favorite.

Kat Von D LOLITA ~ it’s like every time I wear Lolita I get lots of compliments. I really love this shade. It is a matte formula that is great on the lips. I didn't notice much of dryness. There are other lipsticks that are way dryer. It last super long time. I think I will do a separate post on this lipstick in a near future.

Noyah Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Red cardinal ~  at first their packaging is the most beautiful one yet. I already wrote a review on all of my Noyah lip products. I will be posting it soon. Anyways I love this red gloss so much. I was surprised by how long lasting was it. 

L'oreal Lumi Highlighter ~ my newest purchase. I been wanting all the Lumi highlights since the day they came out. Both powdered and liquid. So far I bought only one in ICE and I really been liking it. I know it does have a mixed reviews but it works greet for me. It gives me the perfect glow. Something I been looking for.

Too faced Better then Sex Mascara ~ at first I was not happy with the results of it. But later I grew to like it. The brush is amazing and it gives me beautiful length and volume. Now I have to get a full size coz im running low on my mini one 

Skin Again Youth Serum ~ this is great versatile product. Been loving especially morning. After washing my face. I apply it under my moisturizer. It acts like a primer. Smooths out skin and makes makeup look flawless. No greasy feeling what so ever. I already wrote review on it and it’s waiting to be publish.

It Cosmetics CC + and Bye Bye under Eyes Concealer ~ both I won in a It Cosmetics giveaway. Been really loving both so much in a past month. CC + foundation have a great coverage. Blends easy and makes my face looks good. Love the fresh scent of it. I know some people might not like it, but if you know me, you know I like anything that smells good.. Including my makeup. I have mine in Medium shade and it is a bit to dark. I tone it down with a lighter powder. Also I can mix with a lighter foundation and make it works. No biggie. The concealer is also really good. Now I know the hype on It Cosmetics is real and I slowly becoming a huge fan of it. Concealer reminds me of Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer. It have a full on coverage and it didn't crease at all. Only tiny drop on your fingers and you good to go.

Starbucks Chestnut Praline Latte ~ when Starbucks brings back red cups and praline latte you know its Christmas :) I don't drink often at Starbucks but OMG this latte is a big MUST for Holiday Season :) Have you ever try it ?

Pixi Beauty Holiday Lipstick Quartette ~ Review and Swatches

Hello my Pixi Lovers.

 By the way if you didn’t try Pixi Beauty yet, do it, Thank me later. 

I really think I should post this review two weeks ago. Well no one to blame for it, but me. As I said Pixi is such an amazing company, not only they are cruelty free but they also care for their bloggers. We all got in a mail few weeks back, a nice little gift. Pixi was sending out their holiday sets, so we all (I assume all) got one. I was lucky and I got Mini Lipstick set. How sweet was that! 

Let me tell you about all three sets, insert some pics and then I talk about my gorgeous lipsticks.

This year Pixi launched 3 Holiday sets. So, this year we have beautiful Contouring palette with eye shadows, Silky eyeliners and mini lipstick set. I tell you something secret, I really like the contouring palette J look how gorgeous it is J contouring is a big thing and I trying to level up my poor skills. But let’s talk lipsticks, coz that is what I have.

They come in this stunning red packaging with gold detailing that screams Christmas. Inside there is 4 mini bestselling lipsticks. This is so funny, coz I was planning on getting 3 out of 4. I feel in love with the colors and formula. Plus after watching swatches on Shaaanxo channel I knew I need them. This set is a best way for you to try their luxe formula. With a mix of gorgeous suit-all hues, definitely will help you find a must have color.  Demi matte finish. Free of paraben, fragrance, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil and gluten. They apply so smooth and feel weightless on the lips.

The Holiday MatteLustre Lipstick Quartette comes with shades:

* Honey bare ~ brownish, warm nude.

* Petal Pink ~ gorgeous flattering light pink. 

* Rose Naturalle ~perfect lip rose more on a brown side. 

* Bitten Rose ~ berry rose and very natural 

Now, the actual lipstick packaging is not as good. It is very different form their regular, full sized packaging.  I am not going to lie, it feels really cheap. Another thing is I couldn't twist up Honey Bare lipstick. I was afraid if I try harder it will break. But after all the struggle it finally worked.  Aside from that, I really think this set is worth buying. Great as a gift for someone or just a treat for yourself. Also, after swatching them on the back of my hand , I saw that the Bitten Rose left a stain that I couldn't take off. 

 You can purchase set on PixiWebsite and Target Website. 
Set retails for $14. Set itself is a limited edition , but all lipsticks are available for purchase ( full size $12) .

TrestiQe Blush Stick ~ swatches and review

Alright, I have to share with you this amazing product! It is my new must have. Why? Just read it and take a look at it :).

I am taking about TrestiQue Blush stick. TrestiQue is makeup line of a makeup crayons, that helps you reduce time you spent to put on you makeup. The packaging on this product is amazing! looks like a crayon on color pencil. Each products is it a blush, bronzer or lipsticks is double ended. Like for example the blush I have, at the end you can find a brush.

St. Barth's Pink Blush Stick ~ As I said I love the packaging. The color of the blush is gorgeous! I usually don't go for bright or candy pink colors but this one is just beautiful! in the package looks like bright barbie pink, but once you apply and blend, gives more of a natural look. I apply small amount on the apples of my cheeks and then blend upwards with the attached blending brush. The brush it is great as well. Angled and dense, makes bending out so much easier:) Formula is light and easy to blend. Let me mention the magnetic feature! Yes, you read that right! no more missing or loose lids :) you can just throw in your purse / makeup bag. The cap/lid wont come off. Life saver or what!?

The products are paraben free, cruelty free and ... travel friendly .

I suggest to check them out! I bet you will love them as much as I do! This blush was my 'to go' blush. Love how easy and fast I could apply it. Indeed saves time on a makeup routine, especially when I'm in hurry. 

I think TrestiQue products are such a nice addiction to a makeup junkie collection. If you don't have  gift idea and someone loves makeup, introduce them to this brand. I bet they will love it :) 

Swatch at the top and how it looks blended at the bottom.

TrestiQue products are available here.
I will be reviewing also two lip products form them :) Stay Tuned :)
