How much does your face cost!? Makeup Edition!

Hey everyone! Happy new year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a safe New Years! I apologize for the nearly three month hiatus but I'm glad to be back :) I thought I'd start of 2013 with a fun little tag focusing on some daily staples I use all the time!

I've seen this tag go around the blogging community for a while (first time I saw it was from the lovely ladies behind A Brunette Duet!) and thought it would be fun to do even though i knew the number i would see after calculating all the items would terrify me!! To be honest, I think it's really easy to get products on some sort of discount if you're patient enough--whether it's a Sephora 20% sale, a CVS sale, or getting a deal at a Cosmetic Company Outlet. What can I say, I love a good deal! Anyway, I calculated based on the full retail price, not the price I paid for. I chose makeup I would use for a nice, typical day out!

Face:
Laura Mercier Primer: $32
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua: $45
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer: $30
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder: $35
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: $29
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush: $25
theBalm Mary Lou Manizer: $24

Eyes:
Anastasia Brow Powder: $22
Mac Painterly Paint Pot: $17.50
Eyeshadows (vary depending on what I use but I'll say UD Naked Palette since I use that a bunch): $50
Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner: $22
Covergirl Lashblast Volume: $8.79

Lips:
Revlon Lip Butter: $7.49

Anddddd the grand total is....drumroll....



 $347.78

 Yikes!

    I did this tag a while ago and mine ended up being over $200. I was SHOCKED! I'm definitely adding using up products to my new years resolutions!

    I totally agree! I'm trying not to buy anything new until I finish products first! Tough thing to do! ;)

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review and giveaway (CLOSED)!!!!

Image
A while ago I was contacted by Anna from Reviva Labs to review one of their most popular products, the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer. I was very excited because I've always been curious about Reviva Labs--I've seen their products at my nearby Ulta and Whole Foods Market. Some quick information on Reviva Labs that I gathered from their site that I found interesting: -" For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking." -" No animal testing! Before it was even an issue   (way back in 1973), we announced the testing of our products in skin-care salons rather than on animals" - The first to introduce exfoliation to america... with our European LIGHT SKIN PEEL (We were explaining the importance of exfoliation years before the cosmetics giants introduced their versions) Now onto the Makeup Primer. It  is a silicone based primer that is not only fragrance free but also packe

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
*Please also see updated January 2013 swatches posted   here Inglot is a fantastic makeup company that I discovered last year. They originated in Poland and have become more and more popular in the United States despite the small number of stores available. Inglot has all types of makeup products, but so far I've only tried the eyeshadows--but I am completely infatuated with them. I've had them for a long time but am finally getting around to posting about them now! Inglot has an absurd number of different colors to choose from subtle neutrals to vivid brights. The quality is absolutely amazing--every single eyeshadow I've bought from Inglot is buttery smooth with insane pigmentation! Even more amazing is the price tag--$5 a shadow! They are particularly famous for their mattes--they aren't chalky or dry at all and like the other finishes, blend effortlessly. All the finishes last all day over a primer. Honestly, i think they are more pigmented and smoother tha
