$1 Knockoff MAC Clear Gloss...MAK Clear Gloss..

I thought this was funny yet intriguing when I picked it up at one of my favorite stores, Almost Pink in my hometown....

MAK Clear Gloss ....in Peach. LOL!

NOW...the texture is the same as MAC's. I actually own the real thing and went home to compare.

***Remember when the selling point of the clear gloss was dab a bit in the middle of lips for extra pout and juicier lips??? I fell for it several times.***

It also smells better than real thing:) ...I digress.

Review: Wet N' Wild Santa Baby Cosmetic Kit in Naughty....

Hi All!!!

I purchased the WnW Santa Baby Cosmetic Kit in Naughty from CVS for 6.99. I had a $4.00 Extra Bucks coupon too, so used that. I'm shock not to hear alot about this all over the beauty blogs and message boards like MUA. In 2006 or 2007, when WnW Holiday Kits came out, folks was running amuck trying to find them!!

I got Naughty instead of the Nice Palette. Naughty's colors fit my complexion better:).
The kit has four trio of e/s', a bronzer, a blush, lipgloss, and mascara. The blush and bronzer are beautiful. The lip gloss is a bronzy pink nude. I didn't try the mascara. I don't much luck with WnW mascaras.
This the top right trio....
This is the top left trio....

And this is the bottom right trio....

The e/s colors are super pigmented til I got to the bottom right trio:( However it came out pretty and subtle. Great for a little color during a work day look.....

Consensus: Worth it!!! 6.99 for all those colors plus a pretty blush and bronzer and a sexy gloss!

N.O.T.D. L'Oreal Hopeful Plum....

I'm starting this week's NOTD off with L'Oreal Hopeful Plum( remember raving about this?).Its a brownish plum with gold shimmer. Looks brown( you're right Kim:))....
But, if anything, it is holding up well. No chips. Two coats opaque:)

RG Project: L.A. Colors 12 Color Palette in Traditional....

I picked this up at Family Dollar for $1. The Traditional Palette is all neutrals and all shimmers....
I swatched all the colors...crazy pigment. Holds up well with primer underneath....
I used the dark copper, a gold yellow and the light white for this look....
The light white is a bit to white...and that was with lighthandedness....crazy color....
No piling on, no building...couple swipes and BAM!!! I like this palette alot. I don't have a neutral palette like this and I want that neutral palette from Coastal Scents. This will definetly tide me over til I can afford it.:)

RG Project: L.A. Colors Mineral Eyeshadow Duos in Secret and Gemstone...

Every once in a while, whether its on a blog or a You Tube Channel, I hear some one rave about L.A. Colors Cosmetics. And I think to myself..."That ish is Dollar Tree and Family Dollar?" LOL!

Yep...Its that ish.:)

Of course, I couldn't resist fall for the hype of a cheap product. We have 2 Dollar Generals, 2 Family Dollars, and 1 Dollar Tree in a little small town( below the poverty line town). All 7 stores had an abundance of products to choose from!

First up LA Colors Mineral Eyeshadows Duos in Secret and Gemstone....
Gemstone in a light lavender/dark lavender duo....I was surprised at the pigmentation of the dark lavender. Reminded my of a Urban Decay Asphyxia....
The light lavender sucks...Gemstone could survive as a single.
Secret is a dark chocolate/gold....I like the dark chocolate color. It blend well with my skin but you can see the color. It didn't blend into the skin.
The Gold color is so-so.Not a fave...

Consensus:

I really like the darker shades in both duos....they were $1.00 so pockets are not hurt.:)
