MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2

I wandered into the MAC store today with the intention to take a look at the Wonder Woman collection. A lot of the things were cute. The one thing I was into purchasing was the mineralize powders they had but unfortunately they were sold out. bummer. However- I noticed that they also released the other Lady Gaga Viva Glam lipstick and lipgloss. I wasn't so into it by looking at it but then I figured I would just try it on. Well, needless to say I purchased it. It is much like my favorite lipstick of the moment: Creme D'Nude. I wear Creme D'Nude all the time and Viva Glam Gaga 2 is just as good except it has more of a brownish tone to it. It is very creamy and flattering. I think this is my new lipstick of the moment! I also purchased the lipgloss as well.






(excuse the gross lips- they are chapped!)

Best part about my purchase? Every cent from the sale goes to the MAC Aids fund. How great is that?

Do You Lilac It?

Ok, let me start off by saying that I'm not a big fan of the color purple, but I thought this color wasn't so bad so I bought it.... AND I HEART IT! It's the perfect Spring color and the formula from this OPI color is perfect! I have worn this nail polish for about a week and the color has held better than most OPI colors. This is definitely my current favorite and I will continue to wear this until I think it's time for a change. Do you lilac it?

Cover FX Cream Foundation Review

I was looking to purchase a foundation that had full coverage so I ordered this foundation based on the reviews of how great it is for concealing skin imperfection (acne scars, rosacea, etc). When I went to use it I found it difficult to apply. The cream is very thick and hard to smudge. I applied it with the sponge that it came with and I felt like I really had to press hard into the cream and also really work at transferring it from the sponge to my face. I ended up returning it for this reason BUT- the upside of this product may appeal to certain users. The foundation truly does have full coverage.  You could use this as a concealer instead of a foundation. It really eliminated any redness that I had on my face.
This product is really great for coverage but it just wasn't for me. I would have purchased this as a concealer if they had mini versions of it. When I rush in the mornings to put on my makeup to get to work on time, I don't want to have any difficulties with makeup application. Perhaps others have had better luck or better application techniques?
