I cannot tell you how much I loved recording this episode with Madeleine, who for those who don't know her is an amazing journalist, writer and podcast host with a passion for Elvis and who is at times to be seen wearing a dirndl at her equally fabulou...

Chanel Holiday 2023 Color Collection is a short 'n' sweet collection featuring a few lip products along with an eyeshadow palette and highlighter. As it is taking me longer to push out full reviews, I'm going to try to offer some initial thoughts when I feel fairly confident about those impressions (e.g. I have experience with the formula/brand that it feels pretty routine!). In this case, the highlighter is lovely but one of the more glittery releases from the brand so those who do not like larger particles should skip. The eyeshadow palette seems decent enough but not the best Continue Reading…

There are two versions of the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eye & Cheek Palette that were released this season. Each palette contains two blushess and nine eyeshadows. Each of these palettes includes one new blush and one blush from the permanent range. The texture of the mattes felt slightly thinner, and they did not seem to be pigmented as the mattes found in the Mothership palettes. The shimmers were more comparable to past releases. Note, the formula in these larger palettes does differ in texture from the five-pan palettes.

I will be eagerly listening, because this is probably the longest and worst makeup rut I've ever found myself in. I opted to clean and reorganize the garage over playing with makeup last weekend, LOL!

Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: I don't think there was anything! I feel like I finally got all the various holiday purchases I ordered last week. Weekend plans: It's a pretty busy weekend for me! I'm volunteering to do some supplemental feeding to some newborn pups (who have a mama) because there are 14 (!!) mouths for mama to feed, so I'm doing that twice a day for a few days (then we'll see how it's going), along with taking the Raccoons in for their first set of vaccines and having them meet Mittens. My parents are coming over on Sunday to play Continue Reading…

Danessa Myricks I Am Lightwork V Palette is a new, limited edition release for the holidays, which includes various finishes but all with a fairly high level of shimmer/sparkle. The formula seemed on the thicker side with a few shades being flakier (which is a type of texture that can be harder to work with and/or have more fallout--those who LOVE flaky formulas love them and there are those who would run away quickly!). Some of the duochromes/multichromes were quite shifty while others seemed on the weaker end of what we've seen from more indie brands, though. Here are swatches!

Revlon In So Deep ColorStay Satin Ink Liquid Lipstick ($10.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with warmer, omre caramel-hued undertones and a glossy, cream finish. Nearly opaque pigmentation Very fluid, spreadable, creamy Slightly thicker/easier to over-apply Set to a lightly-to-moderately tacky feel, no lifting Transfer-resistant until eating Long-wearing (8 hours of wear but doesn't make it through two meals well)
