OCC Lip Tar: Rx

Shown above with Flash. This true blue lip color is very flattering surprisingly against my brown skin tone. I was a bit skeptical of rocking a blue lip color, but this one is a bit on the safe side. Be that  as it may, it is excellent to have in your OCC lip tar collection for color mixing.

Urban Decay Naked Basics

What it does:
The long-awaited, multipurpose MATTE companion to Naked is the palette everyone needs in their beauty arsenal. With six versatile and extremely wearable Naked shades, it has everything you need for the perfect neutral matte eye—including four totally new and exclusive shades. It all comes in a sleek compact embossed with a pretty, metallic NAKED on the front that has a slight sheen and suede-like feel that begs to be touched. Best of all, the slim design is perfect for travel, so you’ll never have to be without these must-have shades

This set contains:
- 6 x 0.05 oz eye shadows in Venus (soft, off-white demi-matte), Foxy (very light yellow/white matte), Walk of Shame (very light nude matte), Naked2 (taupe matte), Faint (warm, dusty brown matte) and Crave (deepest, darkest brown/black matte).

What else you need to know:
Each eye shadow features Urban Decay’s brand new Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives every shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability.

 Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked 2, Faint, Crave
  Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked 2, Faint, Crave
Venus, Foxy, Walk Of Shame
Naked2, Faint, Crave
This palette is very nice, the eyeshadow quality is very rich, soft and pigmented. 
I am a dark skin woman and I can confidently wear these colors without them looking ashy. My I love Naked 2, Faint and Crave, for a nude smokey eye. Venus, Foxy, & Walk Of Shame are nice lid colors, and could be great highlights for fair to tan skin. All shadows are matte with the exception of Venus which is a frost satin. These are full sized shadows however the cost of $27.00 is a bit steep. If you have either of the Naked 1 or 2 palettes I would skip on this, unless you just want the palette for your collection. But most of these colors are dupes.

M.A.C Strength Collection: Strong Woman Lipstick

This is a true deep violet lipstick. Very pretty on my skin tone, but if you are fair to tan it will come off a bit vamp. It is a bit of a drier matte which is nice. And it tends to stain the lips. Worth the price. Love the way it feels on my lips although it is matte it does not have that dry feel to it. This is limited edition from
the M.A.C Strength Collection which will be available in stores. Jan. 6, 2013.

Madison Loves! Lime Crime: Velvetines (Red Velvet)

This is basically a liquid lipstick that dries to a matte velvet looking finish. Very pigmented and opaque with just one coat. Does not dry out the lips and has a lip gloss applicator for the perfect red pout. Please allow one minute to dry. Once applied shape color to lips while velvetine is still wet. My recommendation for removal are makeup remover wipes. I am wearing Red Velvet in the picture above. A gorgeous blue based bold red. Ruby Woo who? $16.99USD and worth every penny.

China Glaze: IT'S A TRAP-EZE! Swatch & Review!

 Price: $4.95-8.95
Brand: China Glaze
Collection: China Glaze Cirque du Soleil Collection
Finish: Glitter
This rainbow glitter nail polish has a milky base to it. In theory I know what China Glaze was trying to engineer but the execution is all wrong. The glitter is gritty and chunky against the semi-opaque base making the nail surface have a rough feel to it. Although there is loads of glitter in this polish you must apply several coats for it to be even keel on your nail. Shown above with two coats. No base and no top coat. I highly recommend a glossy top coat. Also 100% pure acetone for removal as this polish is 95% glitter.
