Revlon ‘Fiercely’ ‘Pop’s MAC’s ‘Poodle’

As of recently, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with MAC products, especially with their lip glosses. Keep reading for more!

What I love about their glosses is that they have a wide range of shades,  but I’ve noticed that in the past few new items and collections that they’ve gone glitter and shimmer crazy. Seriously, those dazzleglasses could guide ships to shore!

Plus, the gooey consistency has been getting on my nerves, even with my go-to Pink Poodle gloss.

So, I’ve been experimenting with other brands and since Revlon is hands down my favorite drugstore brand I just knew that I could find a simpler substitute for my precious Poodle.

The first gloss that was very comparable to Pink Poodle was Revlon’s Fiercely Fuchsia. It’s basically the same color of Pink Poodle, but without the gold speckles that have recently started to annoy me. The consistency is thick and opaque, but not sticky! Awesome.

The next gloss that I got was one that I kept searching random Walgreens around Memphis for, but couldn’t find it and eventually gave up a couple of months ago. However, a couple of weeks ago, I finally found it where I seem to find all the drugstore cosmetics I want now…at Kroger!

I’ve been wanting Revlon’s Super Lustrous in Pink Pop from their Limited Summer Collection that included 3 colors, but Pink Pop was the one that got my heart fluttering when I saw it swatched all over Youtube.

Pink Pop is very reminiscent of MAC’s cremesheen in Loud and Lovely, but not as pigmented or thick which I don’t mind one bit.

To be honest, I’ve recently started to get back into makeup after a few months of not really caring about getting the ‘It’ beauty of the moment. I think it can become to overwhelming when their is a new collection or limited item coming out every week from different lines, not just MAC. However, I think this break did me some good and I’m ready to start building up my makeup collection again. I have a lot catching up to do!

Which Watch Did I Get?

Did you guess which watch I picked?

Keep reading to see which watch I bought!

*drumroll*

I decided to get the Michael Kors ‘Jet Set Iconic’ Chronograph in gold with a mother of pearl face and I seriously love everything about it! It goes with practically everything, and thanks to the mother of pearl face I can even throw in a little silver. The watch is HUGE, it even hangs on my big wrist! I might take it to get a couple of bars removed for a better fit, but it looks just has fabulous and luxe either way. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on already and I haven’t had for a week yet!

Here a couple of more pics!

It was $250 at Nordstrom, but unfortunately, they’ve sold out. I’m glad I go it when I did! *UPDATE* It’s back in stock!

Lust-Have List: August 2010

Can this hot and humid weather just pack up and leave already?! Sheesh. However, while we wait to wake up to cardigan-friendly chilly mornings, August is the month to scout and gather transistion pieces to carry you from summer to fall. So, here is a list things that I’m lusting for in August!

Keep reading to see the list!

  1. Nadri Crystal Bangle, $48, Nordstrom – I’m really into thin gold bracelets in bangles, but I don’t seem to have a really thin one like this one. Plus, I like the crystals! This would go with everything!
  2. Cambridge Satchel Company Briefcase, $158, Urban Outfitters – I’ve been wanting this satchel since I saw it on an UK site, but it was sold out by the time I saw it. However, I couldn’t order this quick enough when I saw it online. This is the essential fall bag! Plus, I can’t wait to pair it with my navy peacoat when its time!
  3. Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum, $28, Sephora – The past month, I’ve really gotten back into makeup and beauty. One of the things I’ve really been obsessed with is mascara that makes my lashes look long and lush. Plus, let’s face it, Dior makes some of the best mascara. So, this serum sounds epic!
  4. Frye Carson Oxfords, $178, Piperlime – For fall, all I’ve been dreaming about it finding a classic plum lace-up oxford to pair with opaque tights and I think these oxfords is just what I’ve dreaming about! FYI, you need to have a plum shoe for fall. So, get to looking!
  5. Garland Two-Tone Hoops, $215, Ellen Himic – I can’t shake wearing gold everyday instead of silver, but I have no problem mixing the two together. So, when I saw these hoops by Ellen Himic I couldn’t help but to want them almost instantly. Plus, the twisted hoops look fabulous and would great dressed up or down!
  6. Strapless Pinstripe Dress, $24.80, Faith 21 – Pinstripes work all year round, but even better in the fall. This strapless dress gives you the versatility to wear in summer and top it with a cinched cardigan when it get cooler. Love it!

There you have it, the things I’m loving for August!
