O.P.I. Matte Review and Swatches

O.P.I. Matte Review and Swatches. Matte nail polish is the hottest trend in nail polish for fall and this summer O.P.I. released matte shades in some of their best sellers. I picked up three shades from the collection Russian Navy, La Paz-itively Hot Matte, and You Don't Know Jacques Matte. While trying the matte shades there are some rules one must follow when applying and wearing the shades :



Review and Thoughts: While the look of matte nail polish is very fashionable and chic it only last a day or two before chipping, and sometimes it chips the second day. It's great for those that love to be fashionable and switch up the colors frequently but if you're looking for a polish to last 5 days you can forget it with the matte formula. You can also switch up your look by mixing it with shiny colors and leave your tips matte which can also be very trendy but again don't expect the look to last. Also try not to wear hand lotion because it does tend to change the look of the matte polish.

Note: the matte formula also dries very fast so you have to be quick without making any bumps in your nails. Everything shows with the matte formula.



Swatches of Russian Navy Matte taken on day one



Swatches of
La Paz-itively Hot Matte ( My favorite look of the three) taken on day one




Swatches of You Don't Know Jacques Matte ( My least favorite it looks like a purple brown hue and better in person but I still feel it's too dark for my taste) This one was taken on the second day and you can see its already chipping

Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara Review

Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara Review. A girl loves her lashes and the new Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara vibrates as you use it to give you longer fuller lashes. So what's the verdict do you really get longer fuller lashes with this mascara..look below to find out.



What Maybelline Says It Does:
It’s our first vibrating mascara. Transforms your lashes to perfection.
  • Patent-pending elastomer brush vibrates 7,000 times per stroke
  • Provides clump-free definition, intense color, and shine
  • Waterproof; also available in washable formula
  • Builds lash volume, length, and adds curl
  • Buildable formula
  • Ideal for All Skin Types
  • Contact lens safe
What I Say It Does: I've said it once and I'll say it again Maybelline has the best mascara on the market. Well at least in my opinion. I love how I can always count on them to bring a wonderful new mascara product without paying a arm and a leg for it. With this product my lashes were able to get longer than with any other mascara before and it separates each lash for a more defined look. It does add a bit of curl to the lash as well which is great for me since my lashes can be super straight at times. Bottom line if you're on the hunt for a new mascara be sure to pick this one up.

Me Wearing the Mascara Sorry I don't have a close up my camera is super bright with the flash if it's up close.

Bare Minerals Matte Foundation Review

Bare Minerals Matte Foundation Review. If you're the type of girl who has oily skin then you'll love the new Bare Minerals Matte Foundation. The matte foundation is just now making it's debut and if you're looking for a product to matte out your skin this may be the solution you're searching for. Many Beauty stores are giving out samples and I recently received one from Sephora. I also know that Ulta is giving out some as well.



What Bare Esscentuals Says It Does: Matte SPF 15 Foundation absorbs excess oil and eliminates shine without drying your skin. It dramatically improves the appearance of your skin through the clinically proven power of RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex, which minimizes pores and promotes cell turnover for fresher, smoother skin, while protecting your skin from environmental damage. This groundbreaking formula is made with only the purest, highest-quality ingredients and is free of harsh chemicals and preservatives.

What I Say It Does: On a daily basis I wear Bare Minerals foundation and because I'm a oily girl in the summer I was really looking forward to trying this. You apply it the same way you normally would with the bare minerals foundation swirl, tap, and buff, and it applies easily. I also love how this formula has a lock component so it's less messy then than original. There's also no bismuth so there's less shine to the product. The shades are a bit off so you may have to play around with other shades closer to your original shades if you're a regular BE girl. The look of the foundation on my skin looks flawless, and radiant and even better than the original. The only downside is that it doesn't cover as well so you may need to use more product. The matte does last a while alot longer than the original but touch ups with mineral veil is done very easily. Overall love the new matte foundation and if you're a oily girl be sure to give it a try.

Mac Love That Look Swatches and Review

Mac Love That Look Swatches and Review. The Mac Love that Look collection was all about eyeshadows so I really got to stock up on some eye goodies. The shades are all so pretty and the formulas were so smooth, went on flawlessly, and were highly pigmented. The pearlglide liners much like their name glided on with ease and lasted all day. Love the little specs of glitter that really make your eye pop. Look below for swatches and product photos.
