New Too Faced Peach Leopard Bronzer


I believe it was last year when Too Faced came out with a really pretty Pink Leopard Bronzer.  Now, they added a new addition, a Peach version.  It contains a mix of warming shades of shimmering peach, matte chocolate and tawny bronze.  It is warm and not too dark so I think it would be especially flattering for those with lighter warm undertone.  Currently retail for $28 at Toofaced.com.

Avon Magix Illuminator Review and Swatches




This little guy claims to “instantly brightens skin and banishes dark shadows”. Avon Magix Illuminator comes in 3 shades: Light, Medium, and Deep.

Price: $10/.05oz net wt.

Pros: Since it is an illuminator, I was not expecting any coverage at all but it does provide a light coverage. Granted, if you have real dark circles, you will still need your regular concealer underneath. It is shimmery (not chunky glitter) and you can see the light reflecting action. The texture is like a light cream that dries to a powdery finish and I was surprise that it didn’t crease under my eyes.






Cons: When I first got this, for a second I thought I got a defective pen. Literally I have to spin the dial part for like 5 minutes before any product would come out.

Overall: I got to be honest; I don’t find it makes a dramatic improvement for my dark circles. However, it is still a nice, affordable, travel friendly, non-creasing highlighter if you are seeking for one. Also, I got shade Medium and it was a bit too dark and it comes in a neutral/yellow undertone. If you’re MAC NC15-20, stick with Light. Rating: 4/5.

MAC Pink Cult Blush and Sheen Supreme Lipsticks Swatches



I got off work early today and what did I do? I went makeup shopping :) I am actually sick as a puppy but since I have to go to the mall to pick up my alteration and MAC store is only a few shops away, I couldn't resist. Just quick swatches for now, I'll review them once I get a chance to wear them more. Enjoy!

Avon ULTRA COLOR RICH Moisture Seduction Lipstick SPF 15 Review and Swatches


Name: Avon ULTRA COLOR RICH Moisture Seduction Lipstick SPF 15

Shade: Tangerine

Price: $8. Currently on sale for $4.99 at Avon.com

“Tangerine” is a pinkish coral shade where the pink is more predominate. The formula is moisturizing, it has a nice slip that just glide easily across my lips. Even though it is not the most pigmented lipstick, it is rather long lasting. After lunch, of course the lipstick wears off but there is still a stain left behind. It’s a plus for me because I don’t like to have to re-applying my lip products frequently. Rating: 4/5
