Glam Gladiators!!

Where are all my fabulous "gladiators in suits"?! I don't know about you but I am super psyched about the season finale of Scandal! I'm  also slightly afraid the cliffhanger will be so crazy that my heart stops beating (lol)! Well I don't know what to expect from the show but I do plan to face it head on with a fresh face inspired by the ultimate gladiator and woman of the hour Ms. Olivia Pope.  

This "no makeup" makeup look along with Olivia's wardrobe plays such a huge part as to why so many of us love this character.  So in honor of the occasion I did my own take on this look on a couple friends.

Products Used: Covergirl Queen 3m1 foundation in 825, Lorac Pro Palette cream and taupe and Mac Kid eyesdadow

Brown eyeliner,Covergirl mascara, Maybelline Brown to earth lipstick mixed with Kiss NY lipgloss. NYX Mocha on cheeks.

Products Used: Revlon 24 hr  Cappuccino foundation, Lorac Pro Palette cream and taupe, sable in crease and Mac Kid eyesdadow

Brown eyeliner , Maybelline Define a lash volume  mascara, Maybelline Brown to earth lipstick mixed with Kiss NY lipgloss. MAC Fever blush on cheeks.

 Stay tuned for more...

ChromaLust by Sugarpill

Hey gasp girls,

Do you remember loving princesses, unicorns, rainbows, and fairies, yes fairies.  Well ladies I have fallen back in love with these things! Well, kinda.  Sugarpill's Chroma Lust loose eyeshadow pigments are like magical fairy dust for your eyes!! Yes girls just call me your fairy Sparklemother because I am bringing you  sparkle and whimsy.

Sugrpill Eyelashes Overdose in Dreamy (bottom)

So let me show you the lashes or for the purpose of this post "fairy wings"!
The dreamy lashes are so gorgeous and full.  My mouth drops every time I open up the
box. The dreamy lashes have silver glitter or rhinestone chips or something sparkly
attached to them.  They are whimsical yet everyday wearable (well at least on the weekend).

Now (drum roll please) the glitz!! I purchased the first three colors apart of a Loose Eyeshadow Trio
its called Zillionare.

From left to right: Royal Sugar, Junebug, Hysteric, Goldilux

So as you can see the loose eyeshadow is really pigmented. I've already worn Goldilux and its long wearing and very ummm... noticeable. So you won't be sneaking up on anybody in these shadows. I ordered everything from beautylish.com. Each pot holds 0.21 oz so they'll probably last close to forever.  They are vegan and cruelty free and did I mention pretty :).  I can't wait to do some looks with these!! So ladies I hope this brightened your day!

Spring Has Sprung Nails!!

Hello my Sweets!! We are finishing up the Spring series with nails of course.  You can't leave out nails, not with all the colors, brands, and textures now available on the market. Today I am featuring e.l.f. cosmetics nail polish. I was in my local CVS a couple of weeks ago and came across the display and thought "this is odd, I only remember seeing e.l.f. products in Target." But you know that didn't stop me from buying three colors. So here's a little review for you.

So unfortunately there are no names printed on the bottle anywhere, but...for $1.99 who can really complain right? Each color applied a little differently.  The yellow was a beautiful bright lemon color but I was disappointed with the application.  All in all it took four coats to get to this opaqueness. The periwinkle color had a nice sheen and took two coats of polish. The mint green was the most opaque and only required one coat but I used two coats as I normally do with most nail polishes. Overall these nail polishes are worth the money if your want to add a little color to your Spring and Summer wardrobe without investing  a lot of money. Hope this was helpful.  Have a great day!

Yes three hours!! I know some of you are curious about whether or not this will be the perfect red but were a little timid about making the purchase.  I mean spending $15 for a lipstick  can be a commitment right?  Well ladies don’t you worry I was one of the lucky (last minute) purchasers of this coveted lipstick.  When it arrives you can be sure I will post swatches for you to see.  Then you can judge for yourself if its really worth all the hype!

Spring has Sprung with Eyes!!

Hellooooo glamorous! ( in deep sultry voice) Lol! Anyhoo we are continuing to our search for all things springy by delving into yes you guessed it eyeshadow! What I'm really loving right now is the Lorac Glogetter Palette thats being sold exclusively at Ulta. It retails for $20 mmm hmmm I said $20. Lorac is a great brand this is a great price and if your looking to experiment with color this palette gives you that with out being over the top. So lets begin.....


First Look: The packaging is goorrrgeous!! It makes me feel rich just looking at it. If your going to be doing a lot of traveling this Spring and Summer this is easy to pack.

Second  Look: Inside looks like a Bahamian cruise postcard or something. You have the sunset, beach, and sand all in one. unfortunately they are not labeled with individual names. But I think you can guess whats what.

Last but certainly not least: Arm Swatch Candy :) I did put a little bit of Tartes creaseless primer on my arm but no base.

Overall The pigmentation is pretty good. Its buildable color so you can swipe it on for sheer coverage or pat it on if you want your look to be more bold. The consistency is soft/slightly powdery when you swipe it. Its advertised as having a combination of matte and shimmer shadows, but I honestly only  think two of the colors qualify as a matte.  Looking at the above picture the brown and the cream underneath are the most matte out of the bunch. I plan to take Lorac's Glogetter palette and Lorac Pro palette with me everywhere I go this summer. Hope you gasp girls found this to be helpful. Always at your service!

Sincerely,
The GaspGirl
