DUPE ALERT!!

 

Hello Beauties! Welcome back!  I am here today with a dupe for you to entertain...it's a very unique color choice, but I love it!  I am mentioning NYX Matte lipstick in the shade Butter, which I feel is a dupe for MAC Divine Nite lipstick collection in the shade Exclusive Event.  Btw, some people think Butter is a dupe for MAC HoneyLove - YOU be the judge!!

Again, these are very unique shades and out of the ordinary, I feel, but I do love them both!  I didn't get my hands on the MAC lipstick, however keep checking in to see if it's in stock or not (NOT) and when I saw a video from MakeupByLeinaBaaaby featuring NYX, I HAD to locate this color!!  She showed swatches from the NYX Matte lipstick line and Butter was one of the shades...and I loved it!!  Btw, she's gorgeous so you should check her out!!

To describe the shade - it's a taupe brown, which looks darker in person than when you search it online.  In person it looks more like MAC Exclusive Event does looking at in online.  NYX Matte lipstick in Butter is, of course, a Matte finish - but I feel they're not drying like a usual MATTE.  I feel there is a bit of a sheen to them, which helps with dryness.  I, personally, do not mind a true matte lipstick, however if you don't truly care for them b/c of the dryness, the NYX Matte lipstick line would be a good option to try!  Color payoff is great and the price is great, as well!

 

Happy shopping!

 

Until next time, take care!

DUPE ALERT!! L'Oreal I Pink You're Cute and MAC Viva Glam Nicki

 Hello Beauties!!  I am UBER excited to share this dupe with you, and in case you didn't know, this is an EXACT dupe for MAC Viva Glam Nicki lippie :))

The color is basically the exact same - so much so, I consider them twinnies!!  There is a difference, however in the texture and wear of these lipsticks.  L'Oreal I Pink Your Cute has a glossy finish to it, whereas MAC Nicki is a matte finish.  Nicki is also a smidge more opaque than I Pink You're Cute.

When I wear Nicki, I will apply a little lip balm before applying the lipstick just so there is some sort of softness to my lips.  I don't feel MAC matte lipsticks are extremely drying, but a matte's a matte - it's dry!  I'm a lipstick and lipgloss duo kind of girl, so 9 times out of 10 I apply a coordinating gloss overtop of my lipsticks. 

This L'Oreal lipstick has been included in a new release campaign that is ALL ABOUT Pink!!  I have seen the displays in Walgreens, and I actually picked mine up at a Wal-Mart grocery center of all places??  It was included in the permanant display, so my guess is you'll be able to pick this baby up anywhere they sell L'Oreal beauty??  Don't quote me on that, but that's my guess.  All that being said, that's definitely a good thing b/c I just love this color and this lipstick!  FYI - L'Oreal Colour Riche lipsticks sell for $8.95.

You can still pick up Viva Glam Nicki from MAC, however I do not know how long it will be available for?  As all their celebrity collabs, they tend to be limited editions, but the time-frame available I am unsure?  FYI - MAC Viva Glam Nicki sells for $15.00 BUT 1 cent from each sale of this lipstick goes towards helping those with HIV and AIDS.  So there's is definitely a plus by purchasing this lipstick - not only are you treating yourself, but you're helping those in need :)) a WIN WIN!!

I JUST LOVE THESE, don't you??

Thanks for stopping by and remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))

Neon P!nk

Hello Beauties!  It's Thursday, and I can just feel Friday!!  Tomorrow will be here before we know it *sigh*, any who, thanks for stopping back by to check out the details of today's look :))  I wasn't sure what I was going to do this morning when I was in the process of putting my face on buhhcuzz I woke up later than I wanted so I didn't have as much time to get all kinds of cray-cray with my eyes.  (That's what takes the longest to do)

When applying my face, I do my foundation, concealer and powder set before doing anything else.  So I'm at least THAT much done - make sense??  I wound up using my NYX Butt Naked palette for the eyes so I could work the bright pink on my lips!  I also used my MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick, when I was actually looking for my Wet N Wild Pinkerbell lippie, however could not find it :(( all in all, it worked out FABULOUSLY, because I haven't used my Nicki lippie in a while and I love the way this turned out.  For a gloss on top of the Nicki I use NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Golden Pink which wound up blending into the Nicki perfectly!  Since Nicki has a yellow undertone, the golden shimmer in the NYX gloss matched well ;))

My pink top is actually from VS Pink from last year, I believe and once again - repeat offenders - my sandals from Target!  They hurt my feet when I first wore them, but I had to break them in.  So once I did, they're UBER comfy!!  My black capris are from Express and I got them Y-E-A-R-S ago.  I will tell you, my pants or bottoms like these (for work, in other words), last me forever!  I can't tell you the last time I invested in dress pants/slacks?  And Express is the first place I would recommend for career wear when it comes to dress pants.  They last F-O-R-E-V-E-R - so the price tag is totally worth it if you're going to be able to wear them for 5-10 years PLUS.  Just a heads up for those of you maybe looking to get some nice bottoms for work, or just for whenever :))

FYI - you can still purchase MAC Viva Glam Nicki on their website and I will include the link for you, in case you're interested and haven't scooped one up for yourself yet!  It's gorgeous and I just love it!  As I do ALL of my MAC lippies (they also have a chocolate scent to them!!)

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MAC Newest Release MARILYN MONROE COLLECTION

Overnight the highly awaited collection was added to MAC's website and as to no surprise to anyone, it sold out rather quickly.  It IS a gorgeous collection, however I am not sure what, if anything, is popping out at me and yelling "BUY ME, BUY MEE!" 

I am under the assumption that this is information that all of you, my readers, have been made well aware of some time ago.  My question is, what is screaming at you to go and buy?  Maybe once I see some feedback from those who have purchased items, I might have more of a want for something?  As of right now, for me, the jury is still out on this one.

My only reason for purchasing something at this point, from the Marilyn collection, is purely for the novilty of the items.  It's like "I want it, but only because it's MARILYN MONROE!"  Ha-ha I will say this, as I'm typing this, the more I think about it, I am partial to the blushes in this collection.  I think they're very pretty, and would be quite flattering?!

This is the email I received showing items in this collection:

What are you looking to get from this collection?  I'd love to know!!

Until next time, take care!!

Today's OOTD, LOTD, EOTD - Wheww!!

Welcome back Lovelies!  Today I am going to share with you the look Imma "rockin"...with this weather we've got goin down here in FL, I felt the need to wear my boots.  Rain, rain, oh!  And some more rain!  Back to my boots - I LOVEEEE them, and those who know me, know I love my boots!!  (my daughter rocks 'em too!  Her own version, of course)

Anyway, PLUS you'll notice I've got the green thang going again - now, this is NOT on purpose as green isn't one of my favy colors but it's just something I've been leaning towards the last couple days.  Today was actually an accidental find.  I need to do laundry and am running out of clothes...as if that's possible!

And PUH-LEASE don't mind the hair do, I just had it trimmed but feel it was left too long on my crown, so luckily I've got an appt this Saturday to get that fixed!! 

Makeup today is another green look - I used my Maybelline EYESTUDIO shadow palette in Forest Fury - I love how shimmery the colors are in this palette!  I purchased this from CVS or Walgreens back around St. Patty's Day, and I believe you can still find it, if you wish.

On the lips is my MAC Lipglass Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2, which I just place over concealer on my lips.  I love this shade - it's a perfect neutral - more on the brownish side with some shimmer, but you want to keep your lips neutral when doing such a bold eye.  It's a nice balance.  Now, don't get me wrong!  I sometimes play up both my eyes and the lips - depends on my mood, plus the look I'm going for :)) 

I will include photos as well...
