Fireball is a very vibrant coral that can almost look red if applied heavily. It has a very soft balm-like sheen and has no glitter or shimmer in it. NYX Butter Lipstick comes in 22 shades and is supposed to offer intense color payoff while feeling lightweight and comfortable. These cost about $6.00 for 0.16 oz. / 4.5 g and can be found at Ulta and nyxcosmetics.com.
In the spirit of celebrating St. Patricks day, I created a simple, easy to wear look that anyone can recreate. I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette and the Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life palette. In essence, you only need a few neutrals, a grass green, and a pale gold to do this look.
NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a lightweight, oil-free primer that mattifies, smoothes skin texture, and extends the wear of foundation. It can be worn alone to give a smoother look to the skin or as a primer to make foundation last longer. It costs about $16 for 1.02 fl. oz. / 30 mL and can be found on NYX website. I found mine at Fred Meyer and I expect other stores that carry NYX will probably be getting it shortly.

I’ve had a Glossybox subscription for a few months now and I thought I’d share this box with you. I just got this box earlier today so I don’t have any formal reviews for these products just yet. This is just going to be a first impressions type of post with swatches of the color cosmetics in this box.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup is an oil-free, fragrance-free, and paraben-free foundation that is supposed to give your skin a real life retouched look while offering ultra lightweight, comfortable wear. It also has lots of beneficial ingredients (Matrixyl 3000-Anti-wrinkle and lifting peptides, Litchiderm, Green Tea, Vitamin E, Sodium Hyaluronate) to act as preventative anti-aging and to keep skin hydrated.
These six shades are limited edition and were released as part of Maybelline’s Spring 2014 Dare to Go Nude Collection. The formula is supposed to offer up to 24 hours of wear and resist creasing and fading.
