Lip I'm Loving

A combination that I have been loving lately is Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Airy Fairy, layered with NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Gold Mauve.

I find that this is such a wearable lip combo. Most nude shades wash me out, so this Rimmel shade is perfect as it can be considered a nude, but has a bit more pink in it. The NYX gloss just gives it a bit more glossiness and shine.

MAC Archie's Girls - What I Got! (Part 2)

So like I mentioned in my previous Archie's Girls post, I had to submit a second order after seeing some swatches on Temptalia's website. On the MAC website, there were two lipsticks that just didn't look good in the tiny preview swatch, but once properly swatched on skin, I could tell that I would love them (or thought I would, anyway). From the Betty collection: Oh, oh, oh, and from the Veronica collection: Boyfriend Stealer. 

See? In the picture above, meh. Not so tempting. Here they are on my lips:

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh is a shade right up my alley. Gives off a pretty, sheer, berry colour. But... I did not have so much luck with this next one:

Boyfriend Stealer

Ugh... This looks awful on me. Honestly, the picture looks better than real life, but you can still see how patchy it looks. This looks like a Halloween lip on me. I won't be reaching for this colour, probably ever. Disappointing. 

While I was at it, I also picked up two glosses from the Veronica collection. They are Mall Madness (L) and Strawberry Malt (R). They are both gorgeous, and I will wear them a ton.

Mall Madness

Strawberry Malt

I absolutely love red glosses. It is a much easier way to pull of a red lip in my opinion. Easier than a red lipstick. 

So this winds up my Archie's Girls collection purchases. I'm pretty happy for the most part. I loved the face powders, the glosses, and the eyeliner. Out of the four lipsticks I purchased, only one will be a regular in my daily routine (Oh, oh, oh), but Daddy's Little Girl and Girl Next Door will be used on occasion.

Sephora Haul

Here are a few things I've picked up at Sephora (online) recently. I've had these items in my online cart for so long, and just recently took the plunge to submit the order. I'm pretty happy with everything so far. 

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in Luscious Cherry (#6) 

I've been wanting to try the glossy balms for quite some time now - I have a couple of the Rouge Volupte Lipsticks, as well as a Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick, and love them all. It is quite expensive for a gloss ($32 in Canada), but I just love it! It makes your lips look so juicy and pretty. I'm of course tempted to pick up a few other colours.

Lorac Unzipped Palette

I'm in love with this palette! I was not quite sure if I needed this many "brown" shades, but yes! I do need them all. This palette allows you to create a bunch of really pretty neutral bronze and brown eyes. I love it and will hopefully post an eye look using it soon.

Dior Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Blush in Petal

This is another item that I have been wanting for a long time. It is one of those products that is supposed to adjust to your skin tone and give a natural flushed, just-pinched look. I haven't tried it yet, but I normally love pink cheeks, so I think I'll like this one. I've had the lip version of this - Dior Addict Lip Glow for awhile and really like it. I think the two will go nicely together.



Not pictured individually is a mini Ojon shampoo and conditioner, Origins charcoal mask, and L'Occitane hand cream. These were gifts with purchase, except for the Origins mask, which was a 100 point perk. I normally save up for the 500 point perk, but this mask looked interesting and I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Is there anything lingering in your Sephora shopping cart these days, just waiting for you to click "check out"?
