Milani Dressed Up = MAC Rue D'Rouge Dazzleglass Dupe?
Click on any photo for large view
In full support of my makeup obsession, my husband lovingly purchased this lipgloss to me, despite the snickers of the women in the comsetics department @ our local Walgreens. Now, that's true love! LOL
I did feel all "Dressed Up" when I topped one of my favorite shades of red lipstick with this beautiful lip gloss. It evoked color & texture reminiscant of Dorothy's Ruby Red slippers from the Wizard of Oz.
You need this in your life.
It's a steal @ $4.99 vs. $18.00 for the MAC Rue D' Rouge Dazzleglass. That's a savings of $13.00.
1) Milani Bonfire Lip Pencil (outlined & filled in)
2) NK Lipstick $1.00 #100 Ruby Red dupe for MAC Ruby Woo lipstick $14.00
(MAC Ruby Woo is matte, but the NK Ruby Red has a little shine to it)
3)The piece d' resistance: Milani DRESSED UP Lip Gloss $4.99
4)Concealer applied around the lips to prevent feathering. Black Radiance 8001 $1.99

BETTER SWATCHES (Jesse's Girl Baked Eyeshadow Powder)
LOVELY!
Many have inquired as to whether the baked shadows would be available online for purchase. I sent Cathy from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics an email & she said,
"Our new Baked Eyeshadows will be available at some point in the near future...not sure exactly when yet. I'm sure we will announce it via an e-mail to those signed up on our website."
If you'd like to be kept in the loop, please sign up for their email updates.

L'Oreal HiP Matte Eyeshadow Duos
Just in for a limited time only, L'Oreal HiP has released new matte eyeshadow duos. I have only picked up 2 so far. I got them last week on a CVS bogo
(buy 1 get 1 50% off)grrr
L'Oreal HiP ANIMATED
Coastal Scents White (from 88 palette)
Coastal Scents Blue (from 88 palette)
L'Oreal HiP PERKY
Coastal Scents Green (from 88 palette)
Coastal Scents Dark Purple (from 88 palette)
Someone asked,
"If you own the 88 palette, is it worth it to invest in the HiP Matte duos?"
Ummmm yeah! LOL I've recently become disenchanted with the staying power of my 88 palette. I do love the colors. But it seems as if they fade after only a couple of hours of wear. The HiP colors seem to have longer staying power & better blend ability.
Ck. Out my swatches
CS 88 Palette Top Row
L'Oreal HiP Bottom Row
CS 88 Palette
There are 6 matte duos available, as well as 3 new metallic shades. I haven't been able to find them anywhere but CVS though. I just found out they have them @ Ulta!
