Maybelline Spring 2014 Collection

While I'm always the last person to pick stuff up and no store near me besides Harmon's put out displays I was lucky to get these shiny shadows before it's too late.

Point! --- Nude Romance

(eyeshadow quad)

This eyeshadow quad is completely matte so for anyone who hates that there are no good mattes well here you go. Other than the out of the ordinary matte shadows I really like them, they are soft and easy to use which is the whole point of the drugstore in my opinion. The warm brown is so close to my skin color it blends right in.

Next the Color Tattoos

Wish I could've gotten the lip glosses but they were all tampered with so I had to pass. My Walgreens will have them out in the next month but they will be almost 10$ a piece there 😓.

These are 4 out of 6 colors.

These are

Nude Compliment - quite pink but metallic warm tone nude

Beige-ing Beauty - warm tone metallic beige

Stroke of Midnight - glittery black matte

Sleek & Spice - warm tone brown very metallic

All of these dispite metallic/shimmer in them dry to a creamy finish not overly shiny as you can see in the swatches.

I don't think these vary much from the original formula and I plan on purchasing more products when I can find them.

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...

Current obsession

Final fanatsy tactics: war of the lions version Such a hard game!! Not like the new tactics and I cannot wait to try tactics ogre...it's such a complicated yet beautifully told story and if you love FF12 or any Ivalician tale then you must play tactics. I highly recommend :)

What have I been doing?

So where have I been this year? To start I have been promoted twice to two different departments and have to move in October. Things have been so crazy I havent been able to keep up with anything. But! To let you all know, I made a new instagram, called glitter_witch_crafts where I will be posting photos of hauls and craft projects. I will continue to use my youtube channel but i will be renaming it so that everything is consistent. So in other words I will be back but not effectively until November/December but I promise to have really great demos and product reviews here and on a schedule! Follow my new instagram for updates and posts.
