After I purchased my first Chanel Illusion d'Ombre eyeshadow in "Mirifique", I was hooked! I've acquired a few of these Illusion d'Ombre eye shadows over the past few months as a result. I purchased this gold one called "89 Vision" when I was in Europe earlier this month. The sparkle on these eye shadows are so beautiful, and they have very minimal fallout for a product packed with so much shimmer. Check out the swatch to see the gorgeous gold sparkle! Read more...

On my search for a true mint-colored nail polish, I came across this Essie Nail Polish in "Mint Candy Apple" at my local CVS drugstore a couple months ago. I finally got around to trying it last weekend, and I really love the color! Since I also just got one of the new Essie Luxeffects Top Coats, I applied "Pure Pearlfection" top coat on my ring finger just to try it out. Luxeffects are textured top coats that can be applied on top of any nail color to add dazzle to your nails. Read more...

I am a proud owner of the original Naked palette and have made several looks using it, so I wasn't in a rush to buy Naked 2 or any other palette for quite some time. Now that I have Naked 2 (after receiving so many requests about it!), I'm really liking the range of colors and finishes -- possibly even more than the original! Check out the eye shadow swatches, closeups of the double-ended brush, and how the Lip Junkie Lipgloss looks on my lips. Find out if this palette is right for you! Read more...
