Drool worthy.

Image sourced from Temptalia.com

Check out the new brushes coming out with the upcoming Brunette Blonde Redhead MAC collection. 
I love me some brushes and will be getting all three for sure.
The 165 looks good for cheek application (the MSF's that are coming out with the same collection im assuming).
The 226 is a bit like a hybrid of the 224,222 and 219. A pointed blending brush perfect for precise blending and the crease area.
The 224 look like a smaller 227. Perfect for a more precise venture into highlighting and all over shadow. This one also looks like it could tackle under eye shadow aswell.

The brushes are all limited edition except for the 226 which will go permanent at free standing stores. So get em while there hot, not to mention the MSF's, lip products and eyeshadows (Henna looks lush!)

Brunette Blonde Redhead launches Jan 8th in the States and probably about a month later in Australia.

EDIT: ok for some reason the picture keeps getting cut off so go to Temptalia.com if you cant to see the full image.

My Favourite Summer Nailpolish.


So usually I rock dark nail polish but I yesterday I was in DJ's and stumbled upon this little beauty and though purrrrfect. It actually looks more Lilac in life than it photographs but is still eyecatching without being neon or black/dark blue/purple.

It's perfect for summer BUT I usually love OPI nail polishes, the finish is usually really great and applies easily but this one applied kind of streaky and the finish is a little bit chalky so I had to use a top coat, which I never do because Im super lazy.

I hate when I find something I like and then theres just that one thing that puts you off. This nail polish is too pretty to dismiss though and im still gonna be rocking it this summer!

The Day From HELL.

So boys and girls today was crap.
It was freaking hot, way too hot. I went to my friends 20th BBQ with the BF and managed to run into the exBF. Which is never good. I hate the boy so much my hands were shaking when I saw him. Long long story which I dont want to bore you guys with. 

Also, I brought the wrong eyeshadow palette with me so had to wear smokey green eyes instead of my trademark feel good black.
Awesome.
Then some drunk spilt beer all over my new nikes. Thanks.

BUT Im going out tonight to see Kanye/NAS/ Scribe. So hopefully my cursed day clears up or i will cry.
No makeup posts today but CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE (Im too lazy to upload videos here) and wish me luck for the rest of my day.

Love your Face



Philosophy: Hope in a Jar (Original Formula)

I bought this stuff in Sephora back in September when I was in the states and have been using it everyday as my day moisturizer, it has replaced my beloved Lancome HydraFusion so you know I must have something good to say about it.

When I was in Hawaii I got a little burnt on my nose and my skin started to peel but I used this stuff a couple times a day and within a day or two my skin was back to normal! Yay no peeling. I also get dry skin around my nose and chin and this stuff has been doing wonders. I actually like it a bit more than Clinique's Superdefense which is my night moisturizer. 

It does have negatives though, for one it doesn't contain any SPF, so hopefully you put some on anyway or your foundation contains it. 
The second is that it contains fragrances like lavender which can be irritating to some skin types, I haven't had a problem with it though.

Product: 4/5
Packaging: 2/5 (I prefer pumps!)
Value for Money: 5/5

Hope in a Jar is available from Sephora in the US and Mecca Cosmetica.
US Prices start from $15 for 0.5 fluid ounces.
AUS $70 for 2 fluid ounces.

Forgive Me!

I have been so busy lately finishing off school for the year, I cant wait!

Last week I went to the MAC preview night for Red She Said with a friend of mine. None of the stuff really grabbed me or didn't look like something I already had so the only thing I got was Sugarrimmed Dazzleglass, which I LOVE! I love all the dazzleglasses because they are  sheer and work well on top of lipsticks AND have a hefty amount of shimmer. 
But I dont love that they are twice the size of a normal lipglass but seem to have half the product. If you use lipgloss regularly you can use these babies up in one to two weeks.

I digress though, Sugarrimmed is a really nice colour for going over lipsticks to add a bit of shimmer but not kill the actual colour. 
Whats your favourite Dazzleglass? Do you even like them?
LET ME KNOW!!
