I’m excited to see that Maybelline has released six new neutral shades of their Color Tattoo Eyeshadows for Spring 2014. Here’s a look using the 3 warmer shades in the collection: Sleek & Spice, Beige-ing Beauty, and Caramel Cool.
Mauvelous is part of the blush collection Revlon released late 2013. It is a sheer, mostly-matte mauve with a subtle skin-like sheen when buffed with a brush. Revlon Powder Blushes cost around $10 and contain 5g / 0.17 oz. of product. They are available more widely now at drugstores, Ulta, and Target.
L’Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire is a new lip gloss with 16 shades that offers rich, glossy color and smooths the surface of lips. From the ads I’ve seen, these seemed like they might be some sort of liquid lipstick but to me they feel mostly like a gloss. They have a moisturizing, non-sticky feel and offer vibrant but sheer to semi-opaque color. Dancing Rose is a purplish pink with lots of fine multi-colored sparkles and Rouge Allegro is a bright pinkish red with no sparkles or shimmer.
This look is very simple, only using a few eyeshadow shades and a very thin winged liner. I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 and Naked Basics Palettes for this look.
Classy Coral is part of the blush collection Revlon released late 2013. It is a sheer, mostly-matte warm pink with a subtle skin-like sheen when buffed with a brush. Revlon Powder Blushes cost around $10 and contain 5g / 0.17 oz. of product. They are available more widely now at drugstores, Ulta, and Target.

I’ve been testing this for quite a while because I couldn’t decide whether I liked it or not. I think I was in denial about the quality not being quite up to snuff because after all it is a handy palette full of neutral matte eyeshadows – and I LOVE that concept. But I feel like I HAVE to use a primer if I want it to look good and I have to blend very carefully because they can have a tendency to look patchy on they eyelid. And yet, I still reach for it because I like the colors and it’s convent having them all together in one palette! Argh, I still have such an internal conflict but I want to get this review out, so here it is.
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up I wanted to create a look that is soft but still sexy. I used the It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Palette for this one – a review for that will be coming soon.
