Buxom Winner Takes All Lip Gloss Set




L to R:
Chloe
Creamsicle
Sophia
White Russian
Trixie
Berry Blast

I received this as a gift for Christmas from the BFF. I have already worn one of the colors and loved it! I love the Buxom line. They truly are a very lip plumping gloss or cream that is tingly and refreshing! I'm so glad I got this because I was able to try six different shades and two different formulas. This was a great gift for me and would be for anyone who would like to try Buxom or already likes the product line! What fun things did you get for Christmas?

LOTD: Holiday Colors using Urban Decay Palettes

My mess today!


I bought a navy and green blouse that seemed like a different holiday look for me (I usually stick to red!) and I wanted to create an eye look with those colors.

This is what I came up with!




On my eyes I used Angel (UD Vice 3) all over, then sprayed a flat shader bush with Fix+ and used Dragon (UD Vice 3) on the outer half of my eye and then used Freeze (UD Vice 3) to transition Angel to Dragon. Then I used Heroine (UD Vice 3) in my outer one third and crease. I then put Fix+ on another flat shader brush and pat Side Car (UD NAKED) in the inner third of my eye to brighten it up. For a highlight I used Virgin (UD NAKED) and as a transition into the highlight I used Nooner (UD NAKED 3). On my lips I have Bite Beauty's Luminous Crème Lipstick in Pomegranate. I hope you like this look! I was afraid of using Dragon but it looked much better than I thought! Merry Christmas!

LOTD: Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette

I'm always looking for a good berry look for fall, so yesterday I set out to create one. I used Primer Potion first then Alchemy all over my lid. Over Alchemy I pat Sonic. Over Sonic, I pat Vanity until I got to the inner one-third of my eye, which I wanted to be lighter. In the outer one-third and into the crease I applied Bondage. I buffed out Bondage with Alien and used Last Sin as a highlight. I used my usual Ulta brand automatic eyeliner in Black and Blinc Mascara to finish the look. Pardon my hair! I had wrist surgery last week and can barely blow dry my hair!







I mentioned yesterday that I got my sephora.com purchase which included some lipsticks and I couldn't wait to try them out so here they are!

Haul: Sephora

I had a $20 off a $50 purchase from Sephora, so I bought some high-end lip products I don't normally go out and buy! I got the Skin Rev-er Upper to have as a back up. The small lipstick is a 100pt reward. It's Urban Decay's F-Bomb. I didn't get to pick the color, but I'm looking forward to trying one of their lipsticks in a smaller size to decide whether or not I want to buy the full size. Samples are great way of trying products for free in a small, manageable amount to prevent purchasing a product you don't like.

Empties! October & November

Here are my empties! All are faves except the Malibu Heat Shower Gel from Bath & Body Works, which was part of a graduation gift. I usually get Sweet Pea, but this was perfect for summer! I will definitely look for it in the spring!
