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.

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.

Any 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.

My computer no longer acknowledges my camera. It tells me the USB device has malfunctioned, and to replace it. Thanks, computer!

As such, you don't get much today, because it's all on my camera (grrrr). We have lip swatches of two matte lipsticks today, one a current pro shade and one an old glitter matte (yes, glitter matte).

Lovedust. Glittery mattes will never make sense to me, but this is a nifty shade regardless.

Redpepper. A bricky red, yo.

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.

Just a quick post as I'm still nursing a hangover. My head and teeth are killing me. But just to say that Head On stuff that you rub on your forehead, actually works pretty good. Alright now on to the swatches.

Here is my tiny collection of liners from Make Up For Ever. The first 3 are Aqua lip and the last one is Aqua Eye. But I use them on my lips and eyes as they said it was ok and Makeup Forever is famous for multi use products. 8C is a true red, 18C is a bright coral with a hint of pink and 16C is a bright fuchsia. My only Aqua eye is 10L which is a metallic bronze. I love all these as they are insanely water proof and last all day till I need to remove them. Very creamy and easy to blend as well.

I asked my boyfriend to pick me up 2 more while he's in the states for work. Hopefully he brings me home 3L which is a iridescent navy and 17L which is a pistachio green.

See if you can notice a trend here, hey?

My mini haul arrived the other day from Haute Look. I ordered a few Urban Decay liquid liners when I saw they were on sale. I don't think I saved money in the long run though, as the shipping was insane to Canada and I had to pay even more when they arrived at my door. I was not a happy camper, but the pretty colors make up for it.
