L'Oreal HiP Blendable Blushing Creme

Last May I was able to pick up two Clearance blushes from CVS for $.89 each. These items are no longer on local pharmacy shelves. I was able to procure the rest of my collection from different sellers on ebay.

Manufacturer suggests applying with fingers. Since it is highly pigmented, a little bit goes a long way. The consistency is superblendable! Most often, I use my e.l.f. foundation brush, or 148 cream brush (auralinebeauty) to apply this foundation. It is awesome for the colder months. However, I have been stacking powder blush on top as of late. They make excellent bases & can actually change the tint of the blush. They make the powdered blush application last longer.

MATTE COLORS:

ENAMOURED 896 (PEACH), ELECTRIFY 876 (PEACHY BROWN)
GLORIOUS 876 (BRICK RED), THRILLED 892 (BURGUNDY)



I swatched these colors on my daughter's arm. She's very tan from playing tennis, but probably close to MAC NC43


SHIMMER COLORS:

COQUETTE 202
(HOT PINK W/ GOLD dupe for MAC DollyMix/NARS Cactus Flower),
ELATED 886 (PLUM)



I'm a MAC NC50



SPRY 882 (GOLD), CHEERFUL (PEACH W/ GOLD)
TICKLED 890 (COPPER), ENTICING 884 (BURNT COPPER)





I'm only missing 1 color to make my complexion complete, BLUSHING 888.
Happy Shopping!

MAC Dazzleglass vs. Drugstore Lipgloss

I was excited to receive a gift of MAC Love Alert Dazzleglass from my hubby.
Who needs flowers, right? LOL

I nearly DIED when I realized that the finished result could be achieved using a less expensive brand of makeup. Afterall, would anyone really be able to tell the difference?

The MAC Dazzleglass has a pleasant smell, that of vanilla.
The consistency is a little sticky. Not nearly as sticky as NARS!
(NARS has a tendency to GRAB your hair)
I found it necessary to reapply often to maintain the effect of the intensity & vibrancy of the dazzleglass.

Since my lips are quite pigmented, I know that I will have to stain my lips with another lip product or lay down a lip pencil to achieve the look I desire. Worn alone, the dazzleglass is pretty, but it doesn't scream FIYAH!

Other less expensive alternatives include...
L'Oreal GlamShine lipgloss $4-$10 (find 'em on ebay)
- PLUMPING diminishes base color over x
Maybelline Wetshine Diamonds Liquid $1.00
- (overall BEST staying power discontinued RUN to the dollar store!)
LA Colors moisturizing lip gloss $1.50 (sheer/too glittery)
