Dude, with two new Viva Glam lipsticks hitting the stores, I couldn't not check them out! Plus, they're lustres, which just so happen to be one of my favourite MAC lipstick formula. If you don't know about MAC's Viva Glam campaign, you need to listen up: through the sale of Viva Glam products, they've raised over $150 million for people living with HIV/AIDS. Some companies may have a product that they give a percentage of the sale price to charity, or maybe even all the profit - but MAC takes this the step further by giving every cent of the sales price. That's something that truly grabs this dino's heart.

This latest campaign has the names of Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga attached to it, each with a shade named after them. These shades will be available for the next year, and I definitely recommend stocking up.

Nice touch having their signatures on the boxes and tubes, right? Right. So, swatches--!

My darling boyfriend picked me up some awesome goodies while in Florida and the Urban Decay Book of Shadows II was at the top of the list of must haves. Urban Decay is one of my favorite brands of makeup; they never disappointment me, and this was no different. I love this palette.

My Hallowe'en manicure.

Well i've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, I guess depression can do that to you. Anyway i'm a little better and want to post about this new brand of makeup I ordered off the net. I love to support little companies and try new products. The site is Star Makeup Haven. They have cheap eyeshadow that is comparable to Mac and other brands. Same size pan and each shadow is only $4.95us. They let you build a customizable palette, which I did. The shipping was decent and I would order from them again. But after getting 15 shadows for around $50us i'm good for now.

Today was all about cheeks and lips. Opting for a simple wash of All That Glitters on the lid with black mascara on the eys, the colour focus was dropped lower - to the purplish berry hues found on my cheeks and lips! Unfortunately, the colour here is a bit washed out, so only the lip colour really shines through.

I am in love with this lip combo, dudes. It's Illamasqua Obey lipstick with Tantrum sheer gloss - a non-sticky, long wearing combo! And, of course, oh-so-pretty. Complemented by sculpted cheeks using True Romantic to give a heady-looking flush, this was a fresh sort of look which I really enjoyed for a change of pace.

What do you think? Love that lip, or move on for something else?

One of my favourite MAC products - thought I'd give a peek at a bit of what I've got, yo. Oh, trust, there's more. Crazy? A little. They're not all full, but yummm. Currently, these live in a drawer, but it's literally overflowing, so I've got a new storage solution in the works!

Are there any makeup products you collect? I'm wild about paints and shadesticks, and also have most of the mineralize skinfinishes from MAC. I've had most of the paint pots, but got rid of a bunch because, well, I just don't love 'em. Clearly I like me some pigments, though.

This collection didn't get to much hype as its release was the same day as Style Black. So Style Black took over everyones dream and left Dazzleglass Cremes alone in the dark. But these guys should brighten up your day being the total opposite of Style Black with tons of color. There are 9 limited edition colors in this collection and a lot of them different tones of pink. First off we have the beautiful Amourous which I couldn't wait to own it's dark red brown red with pearl, Creme Allure is a purple pink, Do it up is bright blue pink, Luscious Spark is orange coral with pearl (probably buy this one if I get another one) My Favorite Pink is light blue pink with pearl, Perfectly Unordinary is bright yellow pink with gold pearl, Soft Dazzle is pink peach with gold pearl, Sublime Shine is light coral brown with gold pearl and Totally Fab is yellow red with pearl.

I found these to be a little bit grittier from the old dazzleglasses. They come with a brush applicator that you need to break in when I started to use it the brush is super stiff. I wish they didn't do so many pinks in this collection but maybe will see different colors if they release these again.

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.
