Stay Glossy with Rimmel London!

From top to bottom: Captivate Me, Eternal Flirt, My Eternity, and Seduce Me

Full Disclosure: The names of the glosses must've been on the protective plastic wrapping, because it is not anywhere on the actual product, so I'm actually making an educated guess on the names based off of what I found on the Rimmel London website...

Kiss the Night Away with NYC Smooch Proof 16HR Lipstain! (Swatches)

As I confessed in my December MAC Matters post, even on the occasions I wear something on my lips other than balm, after the initial application, I oftentimes forget to go through the process of reapplication when the product inevitably wears off. Well New York Colors solves that problem with their Smooch Proof 16HR Lipstain!

Put a Smile on that Pout With Balm Chicky Balm Balm!

I mean, how can you not smile when you hear the name of this line of lip balms?!?! I can't hear it without thinking of that old Axe Body Spray commercial where the lady in the grocery store (she actually looks an awful lot like the lady on the Hot Chocolate Love tube) suddenly shoves away the lady she had been pushing in a wheel chair and begins to dance in the middle of the produce section while singing "Bow Chicka Bow Wow" upon getting a whiff of said spray. Hilarious! So of course I was curious when I learned about this new line of lip balms, and jumped at the chance to give them a try.

Smashbox Faves

Ever since getting the Smashbox Click You're It Holiday Eye Palette from Sephora before Christmas, I've been obsessed with the brand! The eye shadows are so finely milled-they actually feel creamy and they are so pigmented (so a little goes a long way). In addition to the shadows, the palette included a mini Photo Finish Lid Primer and 5 of their spectacular cream eyeliners. They are perfect for tightlining and in the water line because they DO NOT BUDGE! I love it!

Since I was so pleased with everything in the palette, I had to see if I would be similarly impressed with other products from the brand, and boy was I ever! Here is just a sampling of some of my faves:

Make Your Pout Sweet with LUSH-cious Lip Tints

I can't tell you how excited I am about the fact that LUSH is opening a store at the Mall of Georgia (I actually wanted the hubby to take a picture of me in front of the location where the store is going)! I look forward to that unmistakable scent that emits from the store (in my opinion much more preferable to the sometimes obnoxious, heavy handed scents coming from Abercrombie, or Hollister... I get them mixed up) in addition to trying out some of these goodies...
