Butter London's New Makeup Line

So it turns out we are going to have an entirely new set of options from Butter London to help us get ready! They are introducing a new makeup line! The rumor is that this should be rolling out in the USA in late Summer. I would assume that it would hit Canada shortly after. We seem about 3-4 weeks behind the States when it comes to Butter London releases.

What are you guys thinking? YAY? Should they stick to nails? Are you holding judgement until you see it? I personally am intrigued and can't wait to see what they come up with!

More New Zoya Pixie Dust Polishes!

So first came this first Zoya Pixie Dust Collection and I will not lie, I want all of them. They are still on my to be purchased list.

Then came the above spring collection. I still need to pick up Liberty, Stevie, Destiny and Beatrix.

And now here is the new 2013 fall collection where I need them all once more. Well, not the pink one. But the others for sure!!

Soap And Glory Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths Review

So today I used the Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths from Soap And Glory for the second time. The first time I wiped my face with it to see how it felt. I didn't think it did much of anything. It didn't feel like it cleansed my skin much and they felt on the drier side of face clothes. They weren't VERY dry, but they weren't VERY wet yet either.

So what I ACTUALLY use these wipes for is for when I do swatching on my arm. So today when I finished swatching the Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Shadows, I grabbed one of these to wipe off the eyeshadow. And NOTHING happened. I guess that says something good about the eyeshadows, but it seriously did NOTHING. I wiped and wiped and my arm started to get red and I quit. I grabbed a Neutrogena one and all shadows wiped away easily.

They are SOO bad, I wont even get in to all the 3 in 1 claims they made. They simply suck. Really really suck. I am not even sure what I can do with them. They literally took NOTHING off. I cant see what I would use the remaining 23 for.

THESE OFFICIALLY WIN THE CRAPPIEST CLEANSING PRODUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED AWARD! 

Limited Edidion Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows For Summer 2013 - Swatched

I have had a love at first try experience with the Maybelline cream shadows. They wear like iron, even on my oily lids, They apply beautifully and they are some of the best formulated cream shadows I have ever tried. I wouldn't say I like them MORE than the Shiseido or Chanel ones, but I think they are on par! Not something you will usually hear form me! I LOVE THESE! I just wish I had found them last year as I am dying for the light creamy beige one from the fall 2012 limited edition colours!

So the summer limited edition colours have landed in Canada. Good, and bad. Good because they are here, bad because we are only getting three out of the entire collection. I knew I wanted two and thankfully they both were two of the three that came! I figured it would be rude to split up siblings, so I was really being..... generous and thoughtful when I picked up all of them!

20 Waves of White when in the pot looks like a slightly off white shadow with an iridescent looking green duochrome.

When swatched it is insanely iridescent. So much so that I worry it will not be a colour I will feel comfortable wearing.

While if you look closely you can see a very shear whitish base, its really just iridescent. VERY iridescent. Its like a green/pink/blue shimmer that reminds me of a swarovski crystal.

10 Precious Pearl in the jar looks like a yellowy taupey colour. Basically a very dull pale gold colour.

For comparison, here it is next to barely branded. I have and love barely branded. But last week I bought (or thought I bought) the taupe colour, opened it up, and saw this, did a double take,and realized I grabbed the wrong one. So now I have a backup for me, or more likely my mom who uses this as a base every single day.

On the skin it as a very noticble pink shimmer to it. That along with the pale gold base makes it look like a dull yellow tinged rose gold. I actually really like this one and think it might be the favourite for me.

30 Icy Mint is a pale greenish blue colour. Both in the jar and on the skin it reminds me of the dior icy dew colour. Its a very nice colour, that I am still not sure if I will wear, but I am hoping it is neutral enough for it to be a colour that is not TOO far outside my comfort zone. I just have to force myself to wear it!

To me these three at least feel much more like a winter wonderland type of theme, and not a summer collection but I really do like them!
