MAC Dazzleglass Review, Swatches & Pictures (Date Night, Baby Sparks & Steppin’ Out)

What’s one makeup item I can’t live without? Lip gloss! Not only are dry lips unsightly, but they also are hella uncomfortable and annoying. Wherever I go, I must have my lip gloss – it is to me what Linus’ blanket was to him.

Plus I dig how easy it is to use – there’s no need for a mirror. Just swipe and go. It totally fits into my Always-Rushing-like-the-Flight-of-the-Bumblebee-Song lifestyle.

Yes, lip gloss is more than love – it’s lust, baby! And when you combine that with glitter? Color me orgasmic!

I checked out MAC Dazzleglass for my gloss + glitter fix. The Dazzleglasses are well-known for adding oomph and dimension to bare lips. They’re also great for transforming the shade of your lipstick. Continue reading

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

Even when I’m in a rush in the A.M. (which is often), eyeliner is the one makeup product that I cannot skip. I own many different colors, and I love having them all fanned out. The idea of the many options makes me so happy! 😀

That said, I was on the prowl for the prettiest green eyeliner when I found the Prestige Eyeliner in Marble. (The full name from their website is Prestige Classic Khol Eyeliner.) The color I like. The product? Not so much. Continue reading

Mac Dazzle Lipsticks Digi-Dazzle CollectionIf you’ve ever dived into the wonderful, addictive world of MAC Cosmetics, you know where I’m coming from when I say that you feel like a kid in a candy store. The color range is impressive, there are several finishes available, and you can really play around like a makeup Picasso.

MAC Cosmetics offers many lipstick finishes including Amplified Cremes, Cremesheens, Glazes, Lustres, Mattes, Satins, and Frosts. The Digi-Dazzle Collection introduces a brave new finish – Dazzle! It’s super sparkly and glittery.

I’m more into lip gloss than I am into lipstick, but when the new limited-edition MAC Digi-Dazzle Collection came out, I couldn’t resist placing an order. I bought 7 of the 13 MAC Dazzle Lipstick shades.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Eden Review, Swatch & Pictures

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion EdenWhile I’m a bona fide nail-polish addict with a collection of over 200 bottles (and counting!), there’s a soft shopaholic spot in my heart for eye shadow. As long as it doesn’t contain bismuth oxychloride (which I’m allergic to in products that touch my eyes or face), I’m game to give it a go.

But it blows when a wild turquoise I put on in the morning becomes a tame sheer come the evening. And who likes creased eye shadow on oily lids? Not me!

Instead of tossing my shadows in search of new ones, I decided to invest in a good eye-shadow primer to help me work with what I already have. Many beauty gurus on YouTube rave about Urban Decay eye-shadow primers. so I decided to pick up the newest one (Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Eden) to see if it lived up to the hype.

Find out out why this is my holy-grail eyeliner now!
