Mac Cosmetics: Quite Cute Collection Haul - Lipsticks and Blush Swatches

Hello guys! Yesterday I went to Mac and I bought some products from the Quite Cute Collection. I was very excited about it, because it's a very cool toned collection and I have a pink undertone, so it's perfect for me. I bought all the lipsticks because the colors are just amazing and so pigmented. The blushes were ok, at first I wanted them all, but when I swatched them in the store, one wasn't pigmented at all, It didn't show up on my fair fair skintone (Miss Behave) and the other one (Giggly) was a copy of another limited edition mineralize blush I have (Hang Loose from the In the Groove collection), so I didn't pick them up, I got just Sakura.

Here's what I got:
- Quite Cute Lipstick: Pale lavander Creamsheen finish 17.50€ in EU.
- Candy Yum Yum Lipstick: Bright Neon Fuschia Matte Finish (this is my favourite! It's crazy pigmented and bright) 17.50€
- Playing Koi Lipstick: Pale Peachy Pink Satin Finish 17.50€
- Play Time Lipstick: Mid tone Violet Creamsheen Finish (lighter than the Style Curve from the Stylishly Yours Collection, less fuschia more purple) 17.50€
- Sakura Mineralize Blush: (light lavander with a burgandy fuschia heart) 23€.

I hope you liked the haul and the swatches.

See you soon

Spring 2011 Nail Polishes: Essence New Nail Polish in n°74 Fall For Me

Hello guys! So this is one of the items I bought recently from the Essence new spring line. It is a gorgeous baby blue pastel nail polish. As you can see in the photo, it's pretty opaque, infact that was just one coat. It goes on easy and the applicator fits perfectly into the nails. Pastel colors are must haves for spring and summer 2011 and a baby blue color is what you need. The price is so cheap, 1.99€ in Europe and I think it's even cheaper in US.

I hope you liked it.

Spring/Summer 2011 Lipsticks Trend: Mac Cosmetics Jazzed Lipstick

Hello guys! This spring 2011 is all about orange and coral lipsticks and I'm going to show you some items you can purchase to stay on trend. The first post of my series is dedicated to one of my favourite lipsticks; Mac Cosmetics Jazzed.

This lipstick is limited edition (sorry :(), it came out with the In the groove collection this past fall, but I think you can still get it on ebay or at a CCO.

It is a coral/orange/pink, very unique; it has a creamsheen finish (semi opaque glossy finish), it goes on smoothly and creamy. The closest dupe to this is Cut a Caper lipstick from Mac, also limited edition (MAC Tartan Tale Collection), I really don't know a drugstore dupe for this color.

I would pair this lipstick with a light pink eyeshadow on the lid and a bright coral in the crease.

Rate: 4.5/5

Price: 18.50€ in EU.

What do you think? Do you like coral lipsticks?

Sleek Palette in Oh So Special - Review, Swatches

Hello guys! Last week I went to Sephora and I found a new Sleek Oh So Special palette! I love these palettes, as you already know, they are mineral based eyeshadows with a great color pay off, considering they are so affordable.

The shades in this palette are perfect for spring time: corals, pinks, browns and also a grey and a black, if you want to do a smokey eye.

I love the fact that it has a combination of matte and shimmer shades, which is rare to find in palettes, especially low price range ones.

As you can see from the swatches, the pigmentation is great and that was only one layer. The texture is smooth and easy to blend. Some of the shades, especially the shimmery ones are a little bit chalky, but nothing overwhelming. The palette has a big mirror, which allow you to do your makeup if you are in a hurry and you don't have your beauty mirror with you; it also has a double sponge applicator, which is very well made and I use it to do the lower lashline shadow.

Rate: 5/5

Price: 9.90€ at Sephora in EU.

I hope you enjoyed my review and soon I'm going to post makeup looks using this palette.
