LOTD14 - Raspberry Crush

I loved this lip/cheek stain from Stila because of how bright it was. It's very pretty, especially for summertime.  Sadly, when I wore it for the day, it collected and got darker on my inner lip making it look like I had drank a bunch of red Kool Aid, lol.  It might have been because I put a lip gloss on top, but I'm not sure.  It was still lots of fun to wear and is a beautiful color!

Urban Decay's 15 Year Anniversary Eyeshadow Palette

BELLISSIMA!!!  Everytime a new Urban Decay palette comes out, my heart skips a beat and I must have it!  I was especially excited to get my hands on this one!  Out of all of UD's palettes, this one kicked butt!  Love everything about it from the luxe packaging to every gorgeous shade of eyeshadow within.  The reflective cover is really pretty and the jeweled logo on the front is super cute, but it picks up fingerprints very quickly.  The palette is housed in a velvet lined tray that it slips in and out of.  Once you're done with the shadows (which could take forever), it makes a pretty little memento or jewelry box.  It has 15 shadows inside, all new colors (never seen), not repacked with a different name.  They are Deeper (deep shimmery golden brown), M.I.A. (soft shimmery dark brown), Ace (dark gunmetal shimmer), Blackout (saturated, matte black), Half Truth (shimmery smoky purple), Tainted (pale matte purple with golden shimmer), Junkshow (bright pink w/fuchsia shift), Omen (my favorite! shimmery metallic bright purple w/blue shift), Evidence (deep metallic blue), Deep End (bright teal shimmer), Midnight Rodeo (medium metallic brown w/silver and gold glitter), Midnight 15 (oyster pearl w/silver glitter), Vanilla (shimmery white gold), Flow (soft peach shimmer), and Chase (metallic bright bronze).  All colors are highly pigmented, blendable, silky to apply, and won't fade through the day.  This palette has just the right amount of darks and lights and brights for creating tons of different looks.  The eyeshadows do happen to be very soft, so be careful you don't accidentally gouge out a chunk of color with a slip of the hands(oops).

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!  I saw it out of the corner of my eye and it stopped me in my tracks.  I love Too Faced as it is, their eyeshadows are always color saturated, smooth to apply, and easy to blend.  That new smokey eye palette for 2011 is a must have for fall.  The colors are Firefly (silvery taupe), White Lie (sugar white), In A Flash (silver shimmer), Cloves (bronzey brown), Nice Ash (charcoal), Smoking Jacket (black plum), Up In Smoke (black brown), Smokin Hot (matte black), and Smolder (matte navy).  Perfect for someone who wants a few variations of sexy smokey eyes in one palette.

Too Faced Exotic Intense Eyeshadow - Poison Orchid & Petals To The Metal

I'm obsessed with Too Faced are their new fall collection for 2011, Midnight in the Garden Glamour.  All the releases have been amazing.  I picked up their new smokey eye palette and these two eyeshadows.  The first store I looked at was sold out of Poison Orchid, so I had to go to a few stores to find it, but I was determined! 
The first color I picked up was Petals To The Metal.  I love shifting colors!  It's a metallic brown that shifts to blue with the changing light.  It gets really intense when wet or when it's used with their Glitter Glue.  Super silky, smooth, and very pigmented.  It's a must have!

Second color was Poison Orchid.  It.Is.Stunning.  It's a midnight amethyst that shifts black to bright purple in the light.  This color takes some building, but if you use a base it's quick and the results are beautiful.  One of my new favorite eyeshadows!  Oh, and the packing is super cute!

Order: Petals To The Metal, Poison Orchid
