Hey Sailor by MAC - Part 2

MAC's Summer collection launched on May 24th.  The colors were on trend with lots of peach coral and gold.



Here is what I bought from left to right:

Lip glosses : Riviera Life (an orange with shimmer), Cut Loose(white opaque gloss), Orange Tempura(atrue opaque coral gloss), Blessedly Rich [**one of the stars of the collection**] (A bronzy orange color with tone on tone shimmer).

Lipsticks: Salute(a true light peach in a satin formula) and Sail la vie( a mid-tone orange suitable for all skin tones) .  They are both beautiful and different from other lipsticks in my collection.

Powerpoint Eyeliner: Emerald Sea.  A beautiful green with yellow tones. 

Blush: Fleet Fast Blush.  A matte peach.  It doesn't go on Chalky no matter how much you put on and everyone can have peach cheeks.  I didn't pick this up until I saw my sister who is NW45 with it in her bag.  I immediately purchased it and am in love.

I wasn't originally going to buy this much but I have to admit I am happy with my purchases.  I will be enjoying them this summer.

Happy Hauling!

Impress - Press-On Manicure Review

Hello Pretties,

Today I am reviewing the IMPRESS manicure.  This was a sample sent with an order that I received. I applied them on a Sunday morning because I was in a bind and had no time for polish.
I would love to say I like this, but honey this is not for me. It was hard to find a nail that fit my nail bed. After a couple of hours and no filing they started to peel and crack. Although the adhesive was strong the nails looked wrong. LOL.  My husband told me to hide my hands in church.
Maybe this will work for someone with smaller nail beds.  The color I had as well as the colors available are very nice.  I say try it for yourself to see it is a good fit.

Happy Haulin'

Hey Sailor - Summer Collection by MAC

The new summer collection from MAC, Hey Sailor! is full of some hidden treasures. The collection launched last Thursday.  Below I have on fleet fast blush (a peach that doesn't go on ashy no matter how much you put on), Salute lipstick (a light peach) with Blessedly Rich lipgloss (a gold multicolor glitter).  I originally passed on the gloss and blush but was easily persuaded when I saw my sister with them. All together they make for a beautiful Spring/Summer face.


Don't be discouraged if it is sold out online.  Hunt them down at your counter!

Happy Hauling!!

P.S.  I will be back with the other lipstick and glosses.

LORAC UNIZIPPED Palette

Hi Angels!!

Ever since Urban Decay struck Gold with their Naked and Naked 2 palette a lot of companies have been jumping on the bandwagon.  UNZIPPED by LORAC is a welcome addition.  These colors differ from the NAKED PALETTE in the warmth in the colors.  The colors have warmth, shimmer and still manage to remain neutral.

From left to right the colors are as follows:
  • Undercover (a matte beige with shimmer)
  • Unbelievable (a rose gold)
  • Unattainable (a light bronzy gold)
  • Unconditional (a matte peachy brown)
  • Unbridled (a matte chocolate brown)
  • Undiscovered (a true gold with shimmer)
  • Unreal(a peachy gold)
  • Uncensored (a bronze shimmer)
  • UnSpoken (a matte swiss cocoa)
  • Untamed (a chocolate shimmer)





All these colors are easy to swatch as well as blend. This also comes with a LORAC primer to be worn underneath.  For gals with with warmer skin tones this will not disappoint.  Neutral does not have to be boring!

Happy Hauling!!

White on White this Spring/Summer

Hi Angels!!

I am currently loving the white on white trend right now.  I have seen so many looks for Spring/Summer 2012 with head to toe white.  I reccommend a white suit for the office, with a sequined tank to wear into the night.  Pair this up with some beige patent pumps and a flirty neutral clutch, and you are good to go from professional to sexy!

Here are some looks I am loving right now:

Zara White V-Neck Dress- $59.90


Zara White Dress with Black Bow in Back- $59.90 (I own this dress)

Bebe Asymmetric White Dress- $119.00


BCBG White Suit



Aqua White Dress and Blazer @ Bloomingdale's

Reel Sexy Collection by MAC- Magenta Blush

Hi Angels!!

I'm back with my favorite blush from the Reel Sexy Collection by MAC.  I present you with the Magenta blush from Reel Sexy Collection.  It is a matte raspberry that is true to color and very pigmented.  A little bit goes a long way, so tap that brush off before applying to your cheeks!  No clowns here!

Extra Dimension Collection by MAC

Hi Angels!!

This is the highlighter from the Extra Dimension collection by MAC.  It is called Glorify and it is glorious!  It is the perfect gold to add that artificial light on our faces without making you look like a disco ball.  It is smooth and does not have glitter so the look is natural.  What more can you ask for?

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Don't be Shellfish

Hi Angels!

I purchased this at my local Supermarket for $4.99.  Wet and Wild has its gems in their makeup line.  This is a nice smooth bronzer, for the price.  It is a welcome alternative for those who don't want to pay department store prices.  The outside is a dark bronzy color with shimmer and the star and shellfish are a pinky bronze color. For my skintone it  is almost an exact match giving me a slight glow.  The rosy color serves as a pretty highlight color.  For those that are lighter than me you will get that tan look depending on how much you put on.  Women of darker complexions than mine can definitely use this for a healthy glow on their skin as well.  This is definitely not a waste of money and it is a lot product for the price.

Happy Hauling!
