Many people have heard that Beautylish has collaborated with Chikuhodo to offer a 5-piece limited edition brush set this summer. Very little information has been available, but I participated in a conference call this morning and have a little more info to give at this point.<br />
<br />
The brush set will be $215. It will be available for pre-order starting June 30th at 12 Eastern/9 Pacific in the morning. The powder brush is angled and is a 50/50 mix of goat and while the blush/highlight brush is blue squirrel. The brushes have cherry blossoms laquered into the handles so they won't rub off. The set also comes with a travel pouch similar to the Noel set. They are intended for use with powders.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925712335774105236.post-69065425175008798202015-05-23T15:39:00.000-07:002015-10-15T14:49:01.468-07:00Blog SaleWelcome to my blog sale!

The Night Owl is a new palette from Marc Jacobs that I haven't seen in my local store yet and that has been out of stock online for ages. It has been on my "loves" list for a long time and it was briefly in stock last week showing "a few in stock" only. So I ordered it using my 20% off code that an employee gave me (their new version of Friends & Family, for employees and their friends/family only)--and found it was out of stock the next morning again. I haven't been able to find any swatches or reviews online yet, so I thought I'd show it to you in case you've been wondering about it and want to grab it if it comes back again soon. Rumor has it that the VIB sale is just around the corner as well.<br />
<br />
For those that don't know, these Marc Jacob palettes house seven shades are are super slim, sleek compact little things. They come in a nylon sleeve that snaps close if you want to store it away from dust. They retail for $59 currently.<br />
<br />
Just an FYI--it was JUST delivered within the hour, so I haven't used it yet and can't speak to its performance. I plan to use a cream shadow or sticky base because I would guess the microglitter would cause fallout otherwise.<br />

The shades are described as "champagne sheen with silver glitter, intense black matte with iridescent
glitter, metallic golden bronze, matte creme, mermaid sheen with subtle
iridescent shimmer, cocoa matte with rose gold shimmer, rich matte
espresso." I don't know if I quite agree with their description of the colors. For example, I wouldn't call the second shade black, but maybe a black brown. I would say the third shade is a burnished gold. <br />

This picture was taken indoors with natural light from a window. I used my finger for swatches, no primer. I just feel like it's such a pretty, unique grouping of colors. I can't wait to play with it and plan to wear it tomorrow!

I have owned all of the Vice palettes at one time or another and they have all disappointed me in some way...EXCEPT this one. This one was thought out so well that it's easy to use and enjoyable to even just look at sometimes (at least for this makeup junkie). There are five columns of four shades of eyeshadow and each column is its own quad of colors that could create a look that would be fairly cohesive and pretty. Less guesswork, less randomness than with other palettes. Also, it's got some great mattes that I love for blending out the crease, some gorgeous burgundy and plum and copper for fall, and it's slimmer than previous editions. It also comes with a matching makeup bag that fits the whole palette inside.<br />

With last year's Vice 2 Palette, I remember thinking I only LOVED one shade and LIKED one other, so was it worth keeping the palette for those? I tried to find dupes and I eventually put it up on a blog sale. With this one, there are many shades about which I could sing praises!<br />
<br />
Downfall is a perfect shades for me to use to blend out the crease. Bobby Dazzle is so shimmery that I love it in the inner corner of the eyes. Lucky is my favorite 24/7 liner, perhaps, so I love having it in shadow form. Great for green eyes! Sonic is soooo unique! It's my favorite shade in the whole palette. Reign is such a pretty slightly rosy brown, gorgeous to darken a look and add something special. Alien is that golden pink that many brands do because it's so flattering to keep a pink from making you look ill. I just love the palette!<br />

It is exactly the size of two Pro palettes and holds 2x the number of shadows as a Pro palette. I was lucky enough to sneak my order in on October 1st when they had a glitch on their website, but it was officially released on October 7th. It's exclusive to LORAC and Amazon and both sites have already sold out BUT LORAC posted on Facebook today that Amazon is receiving one more shipment. I hope these swatches help you decide if it's for you!<br />

It's $59 and comes with 32 shades--16 shimmer and 16 matte shades. These are shown reversed of how they appear in the palette because I started near my wrist. On to the swatches! <br />

<br />
White, Cream, Espresso, and Black are in the first Pro palette and Black is in the second Pro palette, but I don't mind the repeats because I find those to be staple shades that are useful in many looks. <br />
<br />
As far as big palettes go, this one is a good value because you get so many shades for the money. However, it's mostly neutrals and half of it is matte, so it's best for people that like a more conservative look, it would be great for an office, and it would be fairly easy to come up with looks because it blends so nicely together. For those that want bright colors and are more adventurous, maybe take a look at Urban Decay's Vice 3 Palette, or Too Faced's Everything Nice Palette for more variety of colors and finishes.<br />

I haven't posted since April because it has been a busy year. My husband and I are trying to adopt, so most of my emotion, time, and energy has been focused on that. But that is off-topic, so I thought I'd show what I got for Christmas that is beauty-related and in the coming year, I will try my best to post reviews and hauls to my blog because I know I rely so heavily on others' to decide on my purchases.<br />
<br />
First, in my stocking, my husband gave me three nail polishes. I am a huge fan of the OPI designer series, and I have had my eye on these after seeing some swatches online. I haven't had a chance to wear them yet because my Christmas manicure is lasting so long! I did it on Saturday and have yet to see any tip wear or chipping. For those who are interested, I used Gelous as a base coat, 2 coats of OPI Smitten with Mittens (China Glaze Ruby Pumps is very similar), an accent nail of Sephora's OPI Only Gold for Me topcoat on each hand, another coat of Gelous on all my nails, and finally a coat of Seche Vite. I find that this gives me the strongest manicures yet the Seche Vite helps it to dry fairly quickly.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dAM1wK0XXck/UNzA06LiCkI/AAAAAAAAAVU/qMGvMq_-tsI/s1600/postchristmas+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dAM1wK0XXck/UNzA06LiCkI/AAAAAAAAAVU/qMGvMq_-tsI/s320/postchristmas+021.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">OPI DS Luxurious, OPI DS Bold, OPI DS Indulgence</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
From left to right, these are DS Luxurious (orange with gold), DS Bold (pinky red), and DS Indulgence (red with gold). They are really beautiful. The two on the ends are more foil-like and the one in the middle is glittery. I can't wait to play with them.<br />
<br />
One of the palettes my husband gave me is Anastasia Want You to Want Me. It comes in a velvety box with a magnetic closure. Inside, there is a mini palette that is removable that houses nine nude and plummy eyeshadows. Also in the outer box are a mini clear brow gel, a liquid eye liner, and a mini eyeshadow brush. I haven't had time to play with this yet because I've been sick the last few days.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Anastasia Want You to Want Me</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
My husband also got me the Bare Minerals quad in The Happy Place. The four shades are described as muted apricot, smoky taupe, rose gold, and eggplant. I'm extra excited to see how this plays with my greenish eyes. I have two eight pan BM palettes and the quality is excellent.<br />

Finally, although I only have two eyes, my husband knows about my obsession with makeup and got me MORE eyeshadow. Makeup is the only thing that always fits and can change your look the most easily. So he got me...the LORAC pro palette! This little beauty has SIXTEEN eyeshadows in a variety of neutral-ish shades with half of them matte and half shimmer. I think this concept is great because so many other lines only make shimmer palettes, and a nice matte in the crease or on the browbone can really finish off a look. I was able to wear this once on Christmas in the evening, but again, I have been sick so I haven't gotten to experiment much. I did notice that although the shadows are very pigmented, they also tended to be very powdery. Meaning, if you didn't tap your brush off before applying to your lid, you would get fallout on the tops of your cheeks. I did get two compliments on my look, though, and I only saw my immediate family that night (who've all seen me in bajillions of neutrals before). Oh, and did I mention a mini primer is included? I use this stuff daily (it beats Urban Decay, Too Faced, and NARS for me) so I'm happy about that, too!<br />

As little extras and stocking stuffers, my uber sweet husband also included this limited edition two-pack of Maybelline Baby Lips in Coral Crush and Twinkle.<br />

He's also Sephora-savvy enough to know to use a good code when ordering online so he gave me a bonus OPI bag filled with samples that he got.<br />

Finally, he got me this perfume rollerball that I'd been wanting to take around with me. I've had bad luck with atomizers leaking so I wanted a rollerball. He got me Betsey Johnson Too Too Pretty which I find so fresh and pretty...just like the name, I guess.<br />

At my mom's house that evening, I found my stocking there to be filled with all kinds of good (and bad for you!) things to eat. Along with that, she'd (or Santa) gotten this Tarte set for me from Ulta on Black Friday. It contains an Amazonian Clay blush in Flush, a cream shadow in Slate, and a stiff brush that you could use for the shadow or concealer, probably. I LOVE these blushes, so I was pretty excited about that. I wore the cream shadow with liner and mascara when going on a few errands yesterday and there was no creasing on my very oily lids, but this line of shadow DID crease on me during the summer. So we shall see.<br />

And that's my crazy big Christmas beauty haul! I also *might* have used some Christmas money to order even more yesterday on boxing day. =X But I'm going on a low or no-buy in 2013 so I had to get all of my lemmings fulfilled now. I will work on posting reviews and looks in the future. I hope you are all having a great holiday season and will talk to you again soon!<br />

In a pretty aqua box that looks like water, nine beautiful shadows ranging from matte to glitters come along with a sample of Too Faced Shadow Insurance and three instructional cards to achieve different looks. Unlike the other palettes Too Faced has put out, every single shade in this palette seemed wearable on my complexion, so I had to buy it.

And Cocoa Beach is in the crease.<br /><br />Here is the look I wore using the bottom row of the palette.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1I4-IZcRArs/T4rJr3DqZMI/AAAAAAAAATU/1W9E3w1oF6o/s1600/face1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 348px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1I4-IZcRArs/T4rJr3DqZMI/AAAAAAAAATU/1W9E3w1oF6o/s400/face1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731615231133246658" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l37h1EO29C0/T4rJ1g5qYrI/AAAAAAAAATg/FlacAJDGAVA/s1600/face2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 316px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l37h1EO29C0/T4rJ1g5qYrI/AAAAAAAAATg/FlacAJDGAVA/s400/face2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731615396984414898" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aNQBLU4iFks/T4rJ_umr7kI/AAAAAAAAATs/yFdUuP2lPlM/s1600/eye.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aNQBLU4iFks/T4rJ_umr7kI/AAAAAAAAATs/yFdUuP2lPlM/s400/eye.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731615572461612610" border="0" /></a>I am wearing Mermaid on the lid and smudged under my eye on top of a liner. I have Toasted Coconut in the crease and blended out. And I used Sunbeam on top of my lid for a little added golden sparkle.<br /><br />So far, I am really enjoying the palette, but fallout from the glitter is a problem, so I would recommend doing your eye makeup first so that you can clean your face off and apply foundation afterward. The palette is now available at Too Faced, Ulta, and Sephora.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925712335774105236.post-56308825820133302482012-04-07T07:07:00.005-07:002012-04-07T07:16:27.277-07:00FOTD LORAC Unzipped PaletteWith Sephora's recent discount, one of the items that I hauled is the LORAC Unzipped palette. It features 10 warm shades of gold-toned to rosy-hued neutrals in a variety of finishes. I wore it yesterday for the first time and thought I'd show my look. The lighting wasn't great by the time I took a picture, so I'll try to post another look soon.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F01qRMR14cE/T4BK0QoWNwI/AAAAAAAAASM/kBcP-D_OJ80/s1600/fotd.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F01qRMR14cE/T4BK0QoWNwI/AAAAAAAAASM/kBcP-D_OJ80/s400/fotd.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728660987693119234" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rVlXEyGEOf0/T4BK8eMk5iI/AAAAAAAAASY/wMJPinjkcEs/s1600/openunzipped.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rVlXEyGEOf0/T4BK8eMk5iI/AAAAAAAAASY/wMJPinjkcEs/s400/openunzipped.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728661128773690914" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kVUKlZ28LQw/T4BLDu61vJI/AAAAAAAAASk/2mL7kxysRCw/s1600/closedunzipped.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kVUKlZ28LQw/T4BLDu61vJI/AAAAAAAAASk/2mL7kxysRCw/s400/closedunzipped.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728661253521783954" border="0" /></a><br />Face:<br />Too Faced BB cream in Vanilla Glow<br />Benefit Erase Paste in Fair under eyes<br />MAC Studio Finish in NC20 under eyes and on blemishes<br />Bare Minerals Summer Bisque to set under eye concealer<br />MAC MSFN in Light Medium on face<br />Benefit Hoola to contour<br />Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Tipsy<br /><br />Eyes:<br />Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer<br />Unreal on inner 1/3 of eye and on browbone to highlight<br />Unbelievable on outer 2/3 of eye<br />Unbridled in crease and blended out<br />Undiscovered lightly on center of lid to blend<br />Bobbi Brown Black Ink gel liner on top lashline and waterline<br />Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 liner on bottom lashline<br />Revlon Grow Luscious black mascara<br />Anastasia brow wiz in medium ash on brows<br /><br />Lips:<br />Make Up Forever La Boheme collection lipstick in FolkUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925712335774105236.post-45515364176480995022012-03-26T12:16:00.003-07:002012-03-26T17:15:09.129-07:00Sephora VIB and BI saleI just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know about an upcoming sale. Starting on March 29th, all Sephora VIBs (those who've spent $350 in a calendar year) will be able to get 15% off purchases in store and online. On March 30th, the sale will open to BIs as well. You can become a BI (beauty insider) by signing up on Sephora.com at any time. The code for VIBs is <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">CHICVIB</span> and <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">CHICBI</span> for BIs online. In-store, you must present a card received in the mail so that the sales associates can scan a barcode. Additionally, VIBs can get a free umbrella on the 29th with purchase while supplies last. The sale ends on April 5th for BIs and April 6th for VIBs. So the only perks for being a VIB are the umbrella and having two extra days of sale. The 15% off remains the same for everyone.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925712335774105236.post-29942793205444135272012-03-21T10:21:00.011-07:002012-04-15T06:02:34.015-07:00Zoya NailpolishZoya recently had a promo of buy 3 nail colors and get 3 for free. So I decided to indulge because I had heard lots of good things about the longevity of the wear as well as the wide array of colors. I chose mostly warm shades to complement my warm skintone and shades that I thought would be good for spring and summer (except 1 dark, vampy shade that I will save for fall and winter). I just received them this week so I cannot comment on the wear time yet, but I did a quick, sloppy swatch of all 6 shades this morning.<br /><br />This shade is called Mieko. Zoya.com describes it as: "A rosy pink with a touch of orange and tons of bold metallic gold shimmer. More glamorous than the usual pink!" I find it very similar to China Glaze Strawberry Fields, which I also own.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U70DFFOsHbo/T2oOxJv1yTI/AAAAAAAAAQs/l9uc40Rj0ic/s1600/mieko.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U70DFFOsHbo/T2oOxJv1yTI/AAAAAAAAAQs/l9uc40Rj0ic/s400/mieko.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722402514120591666" border="0" /></a><br />This is called Rica. Zoya calls it "Warm light coral with pink and orange tones and heavy gold metallic sparkle. An alternative to flat corals for when you want to shine."<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tGOwbcpbF0Q/T4rGzZs7mUI/AAAAAAAAATI/_7XwS6CyTMQ/s1600/rica.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tGOwbcpbF0Q/T4rGzZs7mUI/AAAAAAAAATI/_7XwS6CyTMQ/s400/rica.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731612062157347138" border="0" /></a>This is called Colbie. Zoya describes it as "Blackened warm red with copper-orange undertones with rich metallic shimmer. A vampy red with depth for a dramatic look." Again, only two quick, messy coats.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PODH4dJhM6w/T2oPFWVKYnI/AAAAAAAAARE/q15zpu1aEdM/s1600/colbie.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PODH4dJhM6w/T2oPFWVKYnI/AAAAAAAAARE/q15zpu1aEdM/s400/colbie.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722402861095740018" border="0" /></a>This is Tiffany. Zoya calls it " Pink, peach and light copper toned foil particles accented by flecks of gold foil. A soft and feminine way to wear the foil finish, especially flattering for warm skin tones."<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-OZTUi0Y_Q/T4BMhfOPMqI/AAAAAAAAASw/wOMKalKXkKk/s1600/tiffany.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-OZTUi0Y_Q/T4BMhfOPMqI/AAAAAAAAASw/wOMKalKXkKk/s400/tiffany.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728662864215880354" border="0" /></a><br />This is called Gloria. Zoya calls it "Rose, mauve-pink and magenta foil particles with gold and subtle red metallic accents. A delicate winter rose look made unique with a flashy foil finish."<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYqKT6xHgWU/T3m6NG664TI/AAAAAAAAASA/NIorEYO4C9s/s1600/gloria.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYqKT6xHgWU/T3m6NG664TI/AAAAAAAAASA/NIorEYO4C9s/s400/gloria.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726813135537103154" border="0" /></a><br />This is called Lisa. Zoya describes it as "An iridescent combination of deep raspberry pink, bright candy apple red and subtle gold tones in a dazzling sparkle finish. A bright, festive red that sparkles so much it's almost jewelry."<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRDC_GLSXPI/T3m6EqxbRnI/AAAAAAAAAR0/yP1YeYgPCJg/s1600/lisa.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRDC_GLSXPI/T3m6EqxbRnI/AAAAAAAAAR0/yP1YeYgPCJg/s400/lisa.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726812990542136946" border="0" /></a><br />Overall, I think they're beautiful. The bottle colors are very pretty and I think these colors will look fantastic once I take the time to do a full manicure and do 2-3 coats depending on the shade. I hear they will wear amazingly well with a base coat and top coat. I typically use Orly Bonder and Seche Vite so I will update once I see how these work.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925712335774105236.post-48882986666447050582012-03-17T17:23:00.006-07:002012-03-18T09:50:53.875-07:00Face of the (St. Patrick's) DayIt's St. Patrick's Day which means that besides the corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots in my crockpot and the Irish soda bread cooling on my stove, I decided to wear a green eye look today in celebration. As a child, I usually wore a green t-shirt or something more obvious, but as an adult, I'd rather sport something more subtle like green nail polish or green eyeshadow to ensure that I don't get pinched. :-p<br /><br />Without further ado, here is my look of the day.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hfbFowPntR4/T2UuZcHaaPI/AAAAAAAAAQI/VkN_f7Ij70M/s1600/face.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 346px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hfbFowPntR4/T2UuZcHaaPI/AAAAAAAAAQI/VkN_f7Ij70M/s400/face.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721029916222974194" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wwBUy4PqPHU/T2UwSH5PTwI/AAAAAAAAAQU/4B6vBJc7UcU/s1600/eye.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 341px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wwBUy4PqPHU/T2UwSH5PTwI/AAAAAAAAAQU/4B6vBJc7UcU/s400/eye.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721031989558988546" border="0" /></a><br />I'm trying my new Stila In the Garden palette (review coming soon) which features several fresh, lovely green shades.
