Transparent 001

i'm addicted to rimmel's stay matte face powder in transparent 001. first off the packaging is a huge disappointment! due to it's lack of design the lid keeps falling off, now just because the packaging isn't the best doesn't mean the product itself is a fail. this is one of the best drugstore brand face powders i have ever used. the consistency of the formula is fine and the texture is smooth. it applies beautifully and is not chalky. this product does have a light fragrance and i'm not a huge fan of scented products as i do have sensitive skin but the fragrance is light enough that it doesn't bother me. the product does provide up to 4hrs of shine control and then reapplication is needed (on the packaging it says 5hrs but i have an oily t-zone). i use elf's professional large face kabuki brush to buff it on to areas where i need shine control. best of all i buy it on sale for $2.50 CDN! this is one of my holy grail products...almost time to buy another one.

Galapogos

nars has never disappointed me with their eye shadows – yet. galapogos is one of the most beautiful shades of chocolate with finely milled gold sparkles i have ever come across. the texture is velvety and the color is highly pigmented. the product is encased in this sleek, rubberized package and it comes complete with a little mirror on the inside for beauty on the go. the richness of this color is perfect for this fall and winter, but i do warn you it does have a lot of fall out.

Birthday Suit

skinny dipping is not an option here...i'm talking about benefit's "birthday suit". i came across this cream eyeshadow (that could easily be used as an eyeliner) that promised me to never crease, water resistant and would last all day. how could i say no to the eyeshadow of my dreams...ok, i have to admit the cheeky name did get my attention. for those of you who have oily lids, this is definitely a product you want to keep in your make up bag. i know it's bold to say but i can foresee this as one of my holy grail items in my collection.


birthday suit is a nude/champagne color with finely milled shimmer like sparkles. the texture is smooth and creamy, it doesn't come out cakey. after application this shadow doesn't budge, crease and is water resistant. true to it's promise this is one eye shadow i will repurchase. the creaseless cream shadows are packaged in a small jar like container, is easy to store and doesn't take up much room.

Obsessed with GOLD

my notd is opi for sephora's "charge it". it's a beautiful 24 karat metallic gold color and i topped off my pinky nails with opi for sephora's "only gold for me" top coat. it took me 2 coats of charge it to achieve this color.
