Amplified Creme Swatches! A favourite formula for many, Amplified Cremes are richly pigmented, shimmer-free and have a touch of glossy shine to them. I personally find some to be very moisturizing, while others leave my lips parched (like Blankety, which looks like frigging DEATH on me). So many great colours, though! Love Impassioned, as seen above, for it is so bright it is nearly neon. MAC Viva Glam SwatchesAny MAC fan knows about the Viva Glam line: every penny of the sale price of these fairly universal shades goes to the MAC AIDS foundation and whatnot. Good stuff, yo. I don't have glosses or the Viva Glam VISE lipstick to show you, but I have the six core shades!  In the picture above, swatches are in order from six through one. Wooo! This lighting is unfortunately not natural, and I find it pulls a touch cool. If you don't mind messy, there are lip swatches under the cut! I did them with one of the wee baby palette lip brushes, yo. Ahaha. Not the tidiest. Lancome La Laque Fever Gloss If you're in the mood to buy a new gloss then this is the baby you need. This baby can do it all: survives through dinner, drinking and heavy makeout sessions. Trust me, I know first hand for all 3. I bought this in Electric Pink, trying not to have a heart attack over the price tag but you don't need to reapply so it saves money in the long run. Mac Trend F/W 09 Collection Review and Swatches Boom!! Another quad graces our presence. With Makeup Art and Cosmetics 3 quads making a little happy threesome this dark and delicious wonder scares them all away. If you want to achieve the dark blue/grey smokey eye for fall this is a given. It houses A Warmer White which Mac calls a pale green grey...I don't see any green, Tone:Grey which is a nice mid-tone grey, Waft a nice dark blue grey and The Right Smoke which is almost Deep Truth but has white pearl. I didn't pick this guy up as I have tons of blues and greys but it's a nice starter quad that has everything you need for a smokey eye. MAC Lustre Lip SwatchesAnd here, my friends, are the lustres. Glossy, sheer, moisturising, I find these to really be quite a lovely formula. As such, I have... a handful?   MAC Lip Swatches Cont'd: My Slimshines and SatinsTime for round two! My slimshines are a bit melty due to it being summery weather, and they surprised me with how gloopy they were to apply - especially since I did them straight after the satins.  Make-Up Art Cosmetics Swatches WOOOO! Crappy swatch time! Forgot my cam, so I had to get these home to photograph. Ech. Sorry, dudes. Also, if my internet doesn't stop crapping out, I'm going to go a little insane. Smashbox LipglossOne of the things I first fell in love with from Smashbox was their lipgloss. Got to say, that love hasn't faded! I don't go around buying every gloss ever because I'd never use them all, but I do have a small selection with 14 shades:  Why do I love these? How MUCH do I love these? Euristocrats 2 SwatchesYes, I finally bought new batteries. Expect a slew of images coming within the next week, because I'll gleefully be abusing them.

Love Me Some Swatches!I'm working on swatching a million bajillion things over the next while. Some taken so far aren't perfect, and I apologize. Any requests are quite welcome and I'll do it if at all possible. My internet connexion has been really unstable lately, and it's driving me positively mad. There's some sort of hardware issue going on with the building's wiring, ugh.  Style, Peachtwist, Peaches, Fun & Games, Springsheen, Tenderling |
