Nars Haul

swatch: Penny lane cream blush on the left, Talitha Lipgloss on the right

After seeing a lot of youtube videos and reading countless blogs about the nars sheer glow foundation I caved in and bought it. I went to sephora and the the sales woman matched me for Deauville, she applied it all over my face. It felt very light weight, yet it looked like a full coverage foundation. I really liked it, but i wasn't sure that it was a perfect match for my skin. The lightest color they carry in sephora is Siberia, and that was way to yellow for me. So I bought the foundation and went on my way. Well when I got in my car and looked in the visor mirror it was really noticeable between my jawline and my neck, but i talked myself into believing that maybe the lady just didn't blend it in properly. So the next morning I wore it to work and It was still not my color, it was so noticeable. I loved the coverage and the way it looked on my skin but I needed a different color. So it to Sephora and went on the Nars website and saw that there was a whole range of colors that sephora didn't cover for that foundation. So I hit locations tab, typed in my address and there was a store called Cosbar close to where I live. I called the store and asked if they had Mont Blanc (the second lightest color for the sheer glow foundation) she said "Yes we have one more left" i said " I will be there in forty minutes." So I drove like a mad woman to that store and I found parking right in front of it (see it was meant to be). The nice sales woman matched me to Mont Blanc. I had figured I would be that color most of the time I am always the second lightest shade in any foundation from any company. While I was there I checked out the cream blush Penny Lane from Nars (Lollipop26 raved about it.) I really loved that color so I bought that as well, and the lay was super nice and gave, yes gave me a Nars lipgloss in the color Talitha I think. I was so excited and happy that I found that cosmetics store. After I try out the foundations for a few weeks I will post a review.

Not quite Project 10 Pan.

I don't really want to commit to project 10 pan yet because I am really excited about the Mac to the Beach collection that is coming out in May. I have seen a few beauty gurus on youtube and some of them are participating in "Gloss Out 2010" Which basically means no purchasing of lipgloss for all of 2010 (at least that's what I understood). That really is a very great idea, I have so many lip glosses that I really have never used. So for now I am doing the "Gloss out 2010" and no makeup except for the Mac to the beach collection. SInce I have to be at work so early now. What can you give up and do without? What make up item/s do you have enough of that you can go at least a year, maybe two without buying?

First

This is the first blog that I am posting on blog spot. My awesome neighbor recently went to the UK, so I asked her if she could bring me a few things from Super Drug. That is like the UK's version of our CVS or Walgreen's. I really wanted the eye cream and the Gosh lipstick. I love the Super Drug bag, it is so cute.

Here is what I got. A gosh lipstick in darling a lipgloss in 122. Two Barry M eye shadows( winter berry and oyster), a Barry M nail polish in gray, Barry M lipstick the lavender whip dupe and an eyecream. I love the Eye cream. The lavender whip dupe is amazing. It is more wearable than the MAC lipstick, since it is a bit glossy it doesn't look harsh it is a really pretty lipstick. The gosh lipgloss has big chunks of glitter, the glitter sticks to your lips like glue. Even if you wipe away the gloss you can't get rid of the glitter. The gosh lipstick in darling is pretty but you have to put lipgloss over it because it kind of looks like your wearing concealer on your lips. It is a great nude color but way to matte. the Barry M nail polish is very awesome, I love that gray color. I kinda think that the U.K's Barry M is a bit like our NYX cosmetics. in the way that they offer amazing colors and quality in their products at a price that everyone can afford.

Here is the the MAC lavender whip and the Barry M dupe side by side with flash. The mac is on the left side and Barry m on the right side.

No Flash.

I am for sure going to ask her to get me 2 more eyecream's when her family comes to visit in 3 months. That stuff is so awesome. I hope you enjoyed this post.
