Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash

Benefit Cosmetics has just released it's newest mascara.  The makers of the They're Real Mascara have made some bold claims.  Here is what the brand had to say:

"The innovative mascara with a 12-hour setting formula that hooks, lifts, and curls lashes. What it does: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara lets you create ultra-long, full lashes to achieve your best wide-eyed and gorgeous lash look. With a brush that’s designed to grab and lift lashes for a super-curling effect, it’s perfect for all types including short and straight lashes."

Let's take a look at this mascara courtesy of Sephora.com:

Roller Lash is slated for release on the 27th of February.  Sephora VIBs are able to score this pretty online on the18th and 19th while supplies last.  

I for one am interested. The brush and packaging are adorable.  If it does what it says, I will be a big fan.  

So what do we think Angels?  Are you interested in Roller Lash?  Are any VIBs going to take advantage of the early release?  Let us know what you think...

Until next time Angels,

O'Keeffe's for Healthy Feet Foot Creme

Hi Angels,

This Pretty Prescriber has a confession to make.  I had rough feet.  During the winter months my feet can give sand paper and rocks a run for their money. No amount of scrubbing and filing did the trick.  All of the expensive dry skin creams didn't even get through the thick skin.  

That is Until I was at my neighborhood Bed Bath and Beyond.  Yeah, I said Bed, Bath and Beyond.  I was looking at the products by the checkout stand and I saw this:

This O'Keeffe's Healthy Foot Cream.  At $6.99 I figured I didn't have much to lose so I bought it.  So after two weeks of twice a day usage my jar looks like this:

My feet feel like my baby's bottom.  All the flaky skin is gone as well as the cracked heels.  You better believe I will be going to buy another just so we never have a repeat of my dry cracked feet.

Angels, I suggest you run, not walk if your feet are not doing well in this cold weather.  This cream saved my feet, sheets and marriage. Lol!!!

So Angels, have we tried this foot cream?  If so what did you think?  Let us know you think....

Until next time Angels,

New Eyeshadows from Sugarpill

Hi Angels,

I was minding my own makeup business today when I received a message in my inbox. Sugarpill, a brand we have featured before is releasing new loose eyeshadows today at 2 p.m. PST.

Here's a look at the shadows courtesy of Sugarpillcosmetics:

Do you see what I'm seeing?  Penelope and Holy Ghost are speaking to me. If these are true to Sugarpill's reputation, what you see is what you get?  I can't wait to see them in person? 

What do we think Angels?  Are you interested in any of these loose shadows?  Let us know what you think and tell us about what you bought. 

Until next time Angels

Lily Pulitzer for Target

Hi Angels!!

 Happy New Year again from us here at the Pretty Presciption!  

The blogosphere has been abuzz about Target's next spring collection. On April 19th the Lily Pulitzer collection will be released online.  Lily Pulitzer is the queen of prep whose designs were worn by her schoolmate Jackie O.  Her bright understated patterns are quite a hit in the resort wear department at high end department stores.  

The collaboration is a one stop shop for this vacation season.  It features everything from bikinis, glassware, throw pillows and lawn chairs.  The clothing will also have plus sizes so everyone can be included. The price points are from $2-150.

Here are some pics courtesy of the Huffpost, PopSugar and ForbesLife. 

More beach/resort wear 

Poolside

Footwear 

I do have to say, although the reactions to the collection has been positive, there are a lot of unhappy campers. Some People on Social media that have other Lily Pulitzer pieces fear that this collection will make their pieces seem more common.  

As someone that has a collection of Target Philip Lim bags, I highly doubt that someone would mistake the high end articles with the Target ones.  The styles, colors and in this case even the patterns are exclusive to Target. So I don't see the need for the worry.

All in all this will be a great collection for Lily Pulitzer lovers.  It has a little something for everyone.  So what do we think Angels?  Will you be stalking Target.com on April 19th or is this a pass?  Let us know what you decide.

Until next time Angels,

Last but not least NARS has just released a new foundation to join the family.  It is called All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation.  The brand calls it instant polished perfection in one drop.  Here is the pic courtesy of NARScosmetics.com

LA GIRL GLAZED LIP PAINT

Hi Angels,

 

If you're our Facebook friend or one of our Instragam followers you saw us feature this product in our take on Splurge vs Steal. We're now back with a review on the LA GIRL glazed lip paints. These little beauties can also be great stocking stuffers for this time of the year.

LA GIRL is a good line with makeup artist products for drugstore prices.  Their line is definitely worth checking out.  Let's look at the lip paints we have in our collection.

The colors from left to right are Coy, Babydoll, Blushing, Bombshell and Hot Mess.

Here are our swatches in that order on MAC NW43 skin:

We also have some individualized swatches.

Coy

Babydoll

Blushing 

Bombshell

Hot Mess

As you can see the LA GIRL lip paints are true to color.  They go on smoothly like a lipstick with the shine of a lipgloss.  They wear for 2 hours without eating or drinking.  At the price point of $2.99-4.00  they can be reapplied.  You will not be disappointed with the purchase.  You can purchase them at your local Rite Aid, beauty supply or online at LAGIRLcosmetics.com and ikatehouse.com.

So Angels, what do you think? Are we going to purchase one of these beauties?  Do you already have a shade you love?  Or is this a pass?  Let us know how you feel?

Until next time Angels

Season's Greetings and Happy Haulin'

MAC Nasty Gal Revisited

Hi Angels,

I don't know about you all but we here are feeling the stress of Holiday shopping.  From the day after Thanksgiving we've been bombarded with circulars and emails.  As the Holidays approach, we are slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

The MAC Nasty Gal collection was a welcome distraction. The collection launched on December 4th and we were not dissapointed by the lovely matte lipsticks.  

Here are our swatches (nw43 skin)and pics: [from top to bottom Gunner, Runner,Stunner]

These lippies are perfect for the season and are non drying matte lipsticks.

They are smooth and true to color. The colors are a deep matte purple, matte brick and matte wine.  These three lipsticks can take you throughout this season.  The reds will keep you on trend with Marsala being the Pantone color of the year,  

Here are our pics of the actual lipsticks:

Stunner 

Runner 

Gunner

We are in love over here. A new lipstick will help us brave those holiday sales. Although Gunner is sold out, the other lipsticks are still available on maccosmetics.com.

So what do we think Angels?  Are we in

love?  Did we buy these lippies or are they on our Holiday wish list?  Let us know if you bought them and what your thoughts were.

Until next time Angels,

NARS vs Sonia Kashuk dupe

Hi Angels,

I hope you enjoyed your holiday.  I have to say my head is spinning from all these sales.  It's a little overwhelming. LOL. In an effort to focus I decided to try and find the HG Olivia Pope lipcolor for my skintone.  It's this berry/brown/pink that looks like your lips but better.  I went to Sephora and bought NARS' Bahama Velvet Matte lip pencil.  It's a creamy pencil that applies smoothly and in my favorite finish.  

I went to Target the next day and was browsing through the Sonia Kashuk line. I  found a dupe for NARS' Bahama.  It's Sonia Kashuk's Velvety matte crayon in Mulberry.  

Here are my two pencils together:

Isn't that crazy? Let's look at the swatches .

The NARS pencil is on top and the Sonia Kashuk pencil is on the bottom. There is very little difference in color and they wear the same.

 

The next picture is of the actual pencils.

Our last pic will be of myself wearing both pencils.

The NARS pencil is on the left and The Sonia Kashuk is on the right.  As you can see they look the same.  The NARS pencil lasts a little longer but I think that can be overlooked considering the price. The NARS pencil is $25 at sephora and department stores. The Sonia Kashuk pencil is $7.59 at Target. I will definitely be on the lookout for more colors.  

So what do we think Angels? Is this not a great steal? Do you have any of these pencils?  Let us know what you think.  

Until next time Angels
