Review: Flower Cosmetics Skincognito Stick Foundation

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Flower Cosmetics is one the new drugstore hits of 2013. The extensive range carries three different types of foundation: liquid, powder, and stick. The stick foundation, called the Skincognito Stick Foundation, "glides on smoothly and blends easily for an instant uniform finish. Translucent second skin coverage allows skin's natural tone to show through" (Walmart website).

Review: Maybelline 'Striking Blue' EyeStudio Quad

Greetings from the Dark Side~! 

It is no secret that I love drugstore makeup. I particularly love limited edition and seasonal collections from the drugstore. Spring 2013 has been quite exciting, and I was especially thrilled with the Maybelline Color Goes Electric Collection. The collection included four limited edition EyeStudio quads, but I only picked up one: Striking Blue.

Tutorial: Señorita Coral

Greetings, mis señoritas guapas!

Today I wanted to share a fun, colorful, dramatic, and yet super easy look using some new Maybelline goodies from the Spring 2013 fashion week collection. I don't know what it is about this look that makes me feel like a "señorita" (young lady). It just feels coquettish and flirty (maybe it's the lashes? Or the flowers?)

The eye look is neutral bronze on the lids with a pop of blue on the lower lash line. For some reason, I love this eye look with a coral lip and cheek. It just kin of pops! And it makes the look a little more spring and summer oriented! Enjoy!

NOTD: Revlon Colorstay 'Vintage Rose'

 Greetings from the Dark Side~

Here is the Revlon ColorStay nail polish in the shade 'Vintage Rose'. 'Vintage Rose' is a neutral brow-toned rose color which I really like for work or formal occasions.  This is supposed to be a long wear nail polish, and I can attest that it does last for at least a week without chipping. This shade goes on opaque in two coats, but one coat looks fantastic on its own.

I am really impressed with the super smooth cream formula and with the opacity of this polish. I don't know if the rest of the line is the same, but this polish has left me wanting to try other of the ColorStay polishes.

I definitely recommend Vintage Rose, it is just such a classy color!
