NARS LIP GLOSSES

NARS recently formulated their gloss line and added some new colors to it as well. As much as I love the brand I had never tried them. So I can't compare the new formula to the old. I know people make a big fuss of Turkish Delight, but even so I didn't really have an interest in them. When I seen the ad for their new glosses I immediately became drawn to them because I saw a very pretty orange one I believe it's called Wonder. It's part of their summer 2014 line. I waited to see swatches online before making a purchase and I decided I didn't like Wonder after all, but I fell in love with Priscilla and Dolce Vita. I had to have those 2 and I'm extremely happy with my choices. 

Description off the NARS website: 

Serious shine and sexy color in sheer, semi-sheer and creamy formulas. Extremely wearable and versatile shades may be worn alone or over other lip formulas for added dimension.

• Ultra-smooth, non-sticky, comfortable wear
• Enriched with Vitamin E to help lips feel supple and hydrated

These glosses retail for $26.00

PRISCILLA (shocking pink) 

DOLCE VITA (sheer dusty rose)

These glosses are really quite nice. I'm really enjoying them and their description is very true. They're not sticky and they're very comfortable to wear.

SEPHORA RADIANT PAINT GLOSS TRIO

The color pantone of the year is radiant orchid. As usual Sephora always comes out with different makeup items incorporating the color of the year. This years makeup collections are quite nice. 

I never really bother to take a look at the Sephora brand, but this years pantone collections looked so nice that just had to go and check them out. 

The radiant paint gloss trio comes with a radiant orchid color, a nude color, and a very light pink color. I absolutely love 2 of the 3 colors. I'm very impressed with the pigment of these glosses. I love the thick formula it's almost like a liquid lipstick. The formula of the light pink color gloss seems thinner. 

This trio retails for $26.00

Off the Sephora website:

A set of three complementary lip lacquers inspired by the Sephora+Pantone Color of the Year—Radiant Orchid. 

What it does: 
This exclusive, limited-edition set includes three shades of gloss including the Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, plus two complementary shades: lilac and nude. They can be worn separately or together to create an ombre effect and complete a trendy Radiant-Orchid look for 2014.

Uniquely formulated, each shadow includes high-intensity pigments with a long-lasting payoff that can be used wet or dry.

TOO FACED SMOKEY EYE PALETTE

I had never really paid attention to the Too Faced eyeshadow palettes. I would walk by them and immediately go to their lipstick and blush section. I had never even bothered to swatch any of them until the chocolate eye palette came out. That palette was a must. 

I immediately fell in love with the chocolate palette and recently their summer collection was released and with that came the A La Mode palette. I got my hands on that as soon as I could. 

The same day I got the A La Mode eyes palette I received the Smokey Eyes palette and I fell in love once again. The Too Faced palettes are pretty amazing I need all of them in my life there's quite a few. 

The Smokey Eyes palette comes with 9 eyeshadows. To be quite honest I think this is the palette I would of most likely be less drawn to because I normally gravitate towards warmer colors and blues and purples which this palette has those 2 colors, but just the simple fact is called Smokey Eyes would of turned me away, but I'm so glad I received this because I love it! I'm not normally a smokey eye kind of girl, but these colors are very nice and I can't wait to try different looks. Maybe it's time I break out of my routine and go with some bolder looks. 

This palette is sold at both Ulta & Sephora. 

This palette retails for $36.00

Off the sephora website: 

A popular collection of wearable eye shadows with a slimmer package and color-saturated formulas for creating a smoldering, sexy, modern style.

What it does:
This collection of nine, complimentary shades is the perfect palette of wearable, smoky eye options for day to night and every memorable moment in between. The pigment-rich, high-performing shadows offer an essential range of hues and textures from velvety mattes to silky shimmers. Included how-to lesson cards offer step-by-step application instructions for creating smoky eyes in minutes.

BITE BEAUTY DECONSTRUCTED ROSE SET

Bite beauty is one of my favorite brands. They make lip products and they make them extremely well. There's lipsticks, lip glosses, lip pencils, lip cremes, a lip mask...you name it. Everything is so highly pigmented and they have beautiful colors in every lip category they make.

They recently came out with a brand new lip gloss set which is called Deconstructed Rose. It comes with a total of 12 glosses. As soon as I saw the set I ordered it because I love bite beauty so much that I knew it would not disappoint. 

The glosses smell just like roses so if you do not like scented products you will not like this set. The glosses are more sheer than they're permanent gloss line, but I still liked them and for the price it's justifiable. 

Each gloss is 0.05 oz and this set of 12 glosses retails for $49.00

Bite beauty products are sold exclusively at Sephora 

Off the Sephora website:

A library of 12 pigment-packed, rose-colored glosses, ranging from soft pinks to deep reds. 

What it does:
Each high-shine, ultrahydrating lip color is inspired by the timelessness and healing properties of its namesake flower. Lightly fragranced with a rose scent, each hue—from soft, ethereal pink to deep, striking red—is inspired by a blossom. 

Xoxo,

ANASTASIA LAVISH PALETTE

One of my favorite eyeshadow palettes has to be my Anastasia Lavish Palette. It's definitely my go to palette especially when I don't know what look to do and I don't feel like messing with my other palettes. I already know what looks I like to create with it. The colors are beautiful and you can create a lot of looks.

The Lavish palette was limited edition at Sephora, but you can still purchase it from the Anastasia website. I'll leave the link below. Anastasia announced in her Instagram that soon she will be releasing single eyeshadows from this palette. I'm super excited because Sienna is my favorite color from the palette and I need it in a single.

This palette retails for $24.00 on the Anastasia website. 

Description from the Anastasia website:

Palette features 10 deluxe shades of matte and shimmering eye shadows to achieve neutral washes and jewel-toned pops of color.
