WOW, I went to the L'Oreal website & these are DISCONTINUED.
You can still find some of them on ebay as well as Brigette's Boutique. Don't forget to check your local drugstores before you shop on line. You may find these items on clearance!

EDIT: Update, these are NOT discontinued. They redesigned the packaging to reflect the new product line name. L'Oreal HiP Studio Secrets Shine Struck Liquid Lip Color

They are very pigmented. They remind me of a cream to powder product.
I found out early on the way to get the best wear out of these was to put a lipstick underneath. I love the natural oils in them. They condition my lips & the color lasts a long time. If you want to keep that shine, you have to retouch though.

Don't Forget to Wash Your Brushes!



These are my dirty brushes from this week.
I temporarily stored them in an upside down tissue box holder. I LOVE animal print!


It's Sunday! That means it's time for your brushes to receive a DEEP CLEANING!

There are many different ways that people clean their brushes.

I now OWN my very 1st MAC lipstick! *angelic chorus*

It smells soooo good!

NYX Current Lip Liner Pencil, & MAC Show Orchid



NYX Current Lip Liner, MAC Show Orchid l/s, MAC Love Alert Dazzleglass



I was delighted to see the "extras"!
Yes, "extras": Pigment/glitter samples.

Primary Yellow & Hi-Def Cyan


Rock-it Yellow & Full_Force_Violet (MAC PRO Items Not Eye Safe)


Pink Bronze & Cocomotion


Surprize Pigment & Reflects Antique Gold


Lidia said it best when she said
"NONE of us would ever be able to use up an entire container of MAC Pigment.
It is best to share with friends when you acquire one."

Take her advice.
If you have makeup buddies, please, SHARE your pigments.

Treat people how you want to be treated & you will reap what you sow.
Pay it forward. You NEVER know, you may just make someone's day.

Special Thanks to my YouTube Sistah
